Around the NBA Thread 1/24: NBA TV/League Pass edition

No nationally televised games tonight unless you have NBA TV or League Pass. There are five games, three early, two late. NBA TV is televising Cleveland at Miami and Memphis at Portland. I don't expect the Cavaliers to test Miami, especially since the Heat will be well rested and ready to show that the Milwaukee win was a fluke. I do think the Memphis/Portland game could be great. The Grizzlies are on a winning streak and the Trail Blazers are coming off a disappointing road trip, but Portland has a great record at home.
The game that interests me most is Orlando at Indianapolis. The Magic played horribly in Boston yesterday, but that is likely a fluke. I would hope they can give the Pacers a good game in triple overtime to tire them out before the Pacers come to Chicago tomorrow night. Like a lot of people, I haven't been watching the Pacers, so I was startled to see they are in second place in the East. They don't have any superstars but they have a deep roster of mostly above average players.
In other news, New York visits Charlotte and is playing badly enough to lose to the Bobcats, so that might be of interest to Knicks haters. Also, the Toronto Raptors visit the Phoenix Suns in a game that would only capture my interest because I always marvel at Steve Nash.

that not even homerism
that’s just being fuckin stupid.

To be fair, Hibbert probably is outperforming every Eastern center other than Dwight
Look up his stats, he’s doing very well.
by berzerkulous on Jan 24, 2012 8:48 PM CST up reply actions
Better than Chandler and Noah
in stats maybe but you won’t find a GM that would chose Hibbert over either one of them, plus both of them are like the 4th or 5th option offensively, Hibbert is a main scorer out of necessity

funny, did you catch this part?
Here is an example of an unsound application of the transitive property: “Team A defeated team B, and team B defeated team C. Therefore, team A will defeat team C.”
LOL. how timely.

I think it's pretty topical
I mean I’m watching the game in an Around the NBA thread…
Injuries. Fuck.

i know
its just the whole asshole thing. wondered it was coming from. bitter he didn’t come visit your school or something?
by BULLieving in Miami on Jan 24, 2012 8:51 PM CST up reply actions
Well, I'm always bitter
but more importantly I just wanted to see the Cavs best player on the floor because of the whole “wanting the Heat to lose” thing
Injuries. Fuck.

i guess at this point i've resigned myself to thinking
any Heat loss is irrelevant unless its to us in an elimination game in the playoffs. no matter who they lose to in the reg. season, even us, none of it matters to me because ultimately i know it’s going to be us vs. them in the playoffs.

“Hey Byron Scott, put Kyrie Irving in your asshole”

I hate the Miami Heat
"We wish Jordan were 7-feet, but he isn't. There just wasn't a center available. What can you do? Jordan isn't going to turn this franchise around. I wouldn't ask him to. He's a very good offensive player, but not an overpowering offensive player." Rod Thorn, then Bulls general manager, after drafting Michael Jordan

All Boshtrich does is hit shots.
Every freakin time I watch him.

hate to say it, but Chris Bosh is so much better than his recent reputation makes him out to be
Injuries. Fuck.

Unfortunately true. He's so more clutch than #6. Such a nice looking left handed shot.

Lets draw a charge

And that's a wrap:(

Now I have to go watch the DVR of Prez O and his bad jokes. Damn you Heat.

so, is LMA as good as everyone says this year?
how come no one gripes about that one anymore?

I don't know, I can't hear any of his hype over the Kevin Love shouting
Injuries. Fuck.
by Juiceboxjerry on Jan 24, 2012 9:24 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
He's better than Tyrus Thomas, that's for sure.
I used to think he was overrated, but his game has improved each year.
LMA doesn't bring the boards like Love,
but he’s better than him, I think. More of a go-to scorer, more of a post game and more of a difference maker.
Trade Deng AND Noah for him
He’ll be so worth it….

In case people missed this quote:
from http://www.postingandtoasting.com/2012/1/24/2731115/knicks-111-bobcats-78-that-felt-really-good :
- Tyson Chandler was the undisputed MVP of (the non-garbage time portion of) this game. Byron Mullens was like “hey I’m Byron I’ll be your opponent today. I’m really looking forward to guarding you and competing for rebounds with you” and Tyson was like “WHAT I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF ME DUNKING INTO YOUR MOUTH”. Chandler got every rebound on both ends and dunked every dunk and was just awesome and dominant and awesome again. Big ups to the guards for hitting Chandler with a few nice feeds and also (seriously) missing shots when he was in good rebounding position.
Also posting and toasting is awesome but eh.
