All Purpose NBA Thread I

[Bubba Fett]

Seems there are a lot of NBA fans on here ...

Not exactly sure what would make you say that.

And prepare for incoming.

I'm one of those fans. And I can't wait to catch the Bulls in HD tonight.

The Chicago Bulls look like a young Detroit Piston team.

Kirk H. = Chauncey
Gordon= Rip
Ben=Ben
Tyrus Thomas= T. Prince

Thomas and Prince are very different players, both physically and in terms of ability.

Ultimately, I think Thomas will be better.

i bet right now miami is wishing it would have tried to improve during the off-season.

 

[DyePack]

A certain Flint teen is probably out of semen right about now. Every NBA section had a big pic of LeBron or D. Wade.

Totally agree, but Prince has been a much better pro than I ever thought he would.

Thomas is such a physical freak that if he can develop a decent shooting touch he could be among the best players in the league in a few years.

Yeah, they're different players ,but they're both young players who have same role on their respective teams.

Agreed. Tayshaun was an afterthought coming out of Kentucky, and he's become one hell of a third or fourth man.

My my ... this is a total ass-kicking...

 

[Oz]

Kirk Hinrich's awesome. I love to watch that kid play. [/KU fanboy looser]

 

[Ledbetter]

LeBron is already better than Jordan ... at least when it comes to acting. The new Nike ad is great.

 

[Songbird]

1) LeBron's commercials are going to be fun to watch.

2) What, I say, what is up with the 4 Domes of TNT? Ernie Johnson shaved his head why? Did he lose a bet to Magic, Chuck and Kenny? He looks like James Carville now.

3) Miami looked awful. The Geriatric City Geezers could've put a licking on the Heat tonight. Yes, it's only the first game, and the ring ceremony game at that, but jeezum crow did the Bulls beat the **** out of the champions.

Edit: The lighting at the Staples Center is really cool. Really emphasizes the court and darkens the crowd. I like it.

I didn't want to draft Shaq, but he was still available in the 8th round out of 12

 

[dreunc1542]

I said this during the summer and I'll say it again. Tyrus Thomas will be the small forward equivalent of Shaun Livingston. A curiosity who is good for 10-15 minutes off the bench a game. And just like Livingston he'll be over-hyped while filling that rule. I have serious doubts that either will ever be able to develop the shooting touch needed for their positions to be stars. While marveling at Thomas in college, I also duly noted that his shot is incredibly hideous. So, in other words, at least for now, can we stop with the slurpfest on Thomas.

 

[DyePack]

It's time for the fall version of this disclosure:

Ernie Johnson has non-Hodgkins lymphoma. That's why he is bald; he was going to chemo.

 

[Songbird]

I see. Well then, I feel badly.

 

[clarkington]

ben's defense is vastly overrated. i don't think the pistons will miss him much, the big ol' phony.

If Ben Wallace's defense is "vastly overrated," why did Shaq score 7 points? I didn't see it. I just saw that the game was a beat down Bull style.

"I'm looking to win 1,2,maybe 3 more championships."

I hope so, because it was mentioned earlier in the thread.

TSP -- I'll be at The Q tomorrow, will YOU?!

 

[Songbird]

I didn't see it earlier in the thread. I've battled cancer, so I understand the struggle. Had I seen the previous comment I would not have made my observation.

 

[D-3 Fan]

Didn't know Ernie Johnson had cancer. The bald head makes him look like Lex Lugar.

All I care about is that E-J can spend the entire year with Chuck and the Jet. Best NBA studio host around.
