    NBA - 2013-14 Regular Season - 1st Half

    in BASKETBALL

    Posted

     

    It'd be interesting if they wound up on the Clippers after all of this.

    After the rivers fiasco, I think the clips can't trade for kg for a year or some such.  . .

     

    I thought it was just with the Celtics for a year, which actually makes less sense because who on the Celtics (aside from a healthy Rondo) would they actually want right now?

     

    Pierce has some use for another team if they came calling for him, but what are you getting for Garnett?  He's looked really, really bad this year, and with his salary I am not sure what you could get for him at this point.

    Perhaps someone could explain this to me, and I figure I could look on the Basketball-Reference site, but I figure this could get some fun reactions from people.

     

    On the payroll section of each team, they have the people under contract's salary, the people who they owe money to, and are no longer under contract, and then a third section where it appears the player has been gone for years, and years, but somehow are still listed. Using the Lakers as an example:

    http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/LAL.html

     

    It says there is still money owed to Mitch Richmond, but I am unsure what this means. Does it mean the Lakers still own his rights, and if he comes out of retirement they have to pay, or what happens?  It's all very confusing.

    I always found it surprising Joker never became more then he was (is?). He had a lot going for him, and I'm surprised he never got a big push by someone.

     

    The match was initially scheduled to be Joker and Cash against Cheech and Cloudy(?).  The other team scheduled to be in the match couldn't make it so the two of them ended up wrestling eachother.  For an impromptu match it got over more than just about anything else on the card.

     

    I haven't seen the Acid/Hart match in years but I remember the heat for it being off the chart.  Teddy was at his Teddy-est with Acid the local hero being on the losing end most of the match and the crowd going crazy for him.

     

    I believe it was supposed to be Joker and Azrieal vs. Deranged and Chris Cash actually, and Deranged and Azrieal didn't end up making the show.  This was also when Tony Mamaluke was originally scheduled for the Shelley vs. B-Boy vs. Hero match, and it ended up being changed to the three-way match which took place that night.

    I don't think 1-2 months is going to cut it.

     Eat shit and die. Thanks.

     

    Whatever let him #Return as fast as possible. Really what does he have left?

     

    Its not about what he has left\... that's to be determined.

     

    Its about you being a jackoff and needlessly mocking someone who doesn't deserve it. All he's ever done was work his butt off and play his heart out. And you feel the need to make fun of him because his career could have ended. Why?

     

    How is "I don't think 1-2 months is going to cut it." an attack or a mockery? Rose may, legitimately, be done for the season, and people are just going with the best case scenario for these injuries.  So there is a good chance he is actually done for the season, and Gonzalez was merely stating that, but he wasn't mocking him in the slightest. At least not with that statement.

    K-Love has been the effing truth so far.

    Good for you I had him last year. I'm not at all bitter.I'm ashamed the Manimal got dropped and I just sat there with my thumb up my ass.

     

    Yeah, well, did either of you get to reap the benefits of the Tony Wroten triple-double? I think not!

    What sports teams/franchises/clubs do you like and why?

    in SPORTS

    College SportsFootball - Nebraska

    Basketball - UMass 

    Honestly, I started liking these teams when they were on top in early 1996, and they happened to win the first games in each sport I ever watched.  Had Florida beat Nebraska, and Kentucky beat UMass this would be a completely different list. My UMass fandom often takes a backseat simply because of the logistics, and ability to watch the games, but I follow them closely via box scores.

     

    MLB

    Cleveland Indians

    Seattle Mariners

     

    Indians because they are local, and the Mariners because my favorite player (Ken Griffey Jr.) played there, and after he was traded to Cincinnati I decided I couldn't possibly be a fan of two professional teams in the same state, so I just stuck with the Mariners.

     

    NBA

    Cleveland Cavaliers

    Denver Nuggets

     

    Cavs due to location, and although I had a complete meltdown during the 2010-11 season when I quit enjoying the team, I came back pretty quickly after. I've never really been sure where the Nuggets fandom comes from, but I remember telling someone in 2007 that I liked the Nuggets, and I've just sort of stuck with them. (Aside: I am still a LeBron fan, and never really actively disliked him after he left. I just can't stand Dwyane Wade.)

     

    NFL

    NONE

     

    I am an NFL Atheist after cutting all ties with the Browns following the 2006 NFL Season. I attempted to find another team to root for, but nothing really stuck, so I just sort of watch without any rooting interest.

     

    NHL

    Colorado Avalanche

     

    I was a Montreal Canadiens fan until they traded Patrick Roy to the Avs, and just sort of followed along with him.  (Keeping in mind I was eight years old at the time, and really had no clue what a "trade," or anything was, I just followed my favorite player.)

     

    Randoms

    CFL - Toronto Argonauts (They played Eric Crouch at QB on my 18th birthday, for that they will always be my favorite.)

    Soccer - Tottenham Hotspur (I very rarely watch soccer, but I got on their bandwagon after using them a lot in FIFA 2006, and again in Football Manager that year.)

    Cricket - BANGLADESH. (THE BEST)

     

    Essentially all my sports fan loyalties come almost exclusively from how I perceived things in 1996.

    TNT's B-team blows away ESPN's studio crew. Grant Hill, C-Webb, Smitty & Matt Winer are pretty great too.

     

    I would even argue that their B-team is better than their A-team.

     

    I think the A-team thing would be remedied if they just got rid of Shaq, or replaced him with Chris Webber.
