2008-09 general league thread (non-Pistons)

Good games on tonight. The first is self explanatory and the LAL/PHX one should be good; sucks Bynum is out.

suns are without amare, nash . lakers will win easily

I forgot about Nash. bla, i was looking forward to this game.

rockets beat cavs. battier/artest possibly best perimeter defense in the league. Lebron did nothing.

If rockets stay healthy, they will be in 2nd round playoffs this year. but thats a big if ..

Also some statistic I just read, Lebron for first time in 493 games hands no assists..

Odd games tonight. DEN blowing out the Lakers, and CLE blowing out SAS.

The Lakers are shooting 29% LOL

Yeah...I picked him up last Sun for my match up with Jammer this week and he has 15 blocks!

The only bummer about his game last night is he went 5-12 from the line and may have lost my slim chance at winning FT% :(

Possible trouble; Joe Smith has been bought out (and also Drew Gooden). Supposedly, he's going to the Cavs.

Yep first Joe was looking at C's but they filled their opening with Mikki Moore, so he is now looking at Cavs since Big Ben went down. He can definitely help them

Wonder who the Cavs will sign. If they were to concentrate on the Celts, they will probably sign Smith. But if they had the Pistons in mind for the 2nd round, they might go for Gooden.

Or will they sign both of them?

And release Big Ben who will come back to Motown and ride us to our 4th championship....(i know but I can dream, can I)

I don't think the Cavs will hesitate to spend money. I'm not sure they have anything to offer (or could) than the LM. But i see them going after Smith. Although, there have been a few articles about the "surprise" big that will be bought out and they will pursue. Not sure if Smith fits that bill.

Shaq blasts off again. Pretty funny he went after JVG & Ewing too.

RealGM: Basketball Wiretap Archives: Shaq Pulls No Punches On Stan Van Gundy

He needs to go into pro wrestling when his NBA career fades out.

The funniest part is him teeing off on what SVG said and admitting SVG was right

That would be perfect for him. If he goes into law enforcement he would turn his jurisdiction into a circus.

That is pretty good. As he's falling, he's realizing that it is a flop, then time slows down and parts of his life flash before his eyes, until he finally sees the parallels of this moment on another man's failings, at which point he actually feels pity for VG... then he hits the floor and the volume comes back and he can here the crowd once again.

Shaq is a jackass.

oh for sure he is..... but this is one time I have to agree with him, Orlando has done what with this coach? He's done what besides win regular season games? There Phoenix east and I really havn't seen him make Howard any better, I think most of his improvement this year he can thank the National Team experience and play for.

There is a reason that Riley jumped in to take over a championship team that was what 11-10 at the time Van Gundy "resigned" to spend more time with his family.... but was ready to coach just 6 months later?

Don't get me wrong, I ain't a fan of Ron Jeremy at all.

But...

When you spend your entire career whining about flopping and then you FLOP yourself, expect to be called out on it.

Shaq is a big dude with a well preportioned BIG MOUTH.
