Why do people give offseason thread titles? I understand they're fans of the blazers or the lolcats, but you guys are forgetting something for other teams.
Oh that's right. Fans of non-playoff teams are so insular we have our own segregation system.
Do the Nets have their first rounder this year?
I just heard PTI suggest it will be 1985 all over again and I'm sold
Top 3 protected, only.
Today was depressing as hell.
2012 NBA Offseason |OT| Who Will Pluck The Unibrow?
Also, Wiz ain't getting him, either. It'll be the Brooklyn Phrokorovs and you will like it.
The off-season thread is separate from the playoffs thread.
I know that feel twice in my lifetime.
I know that feel twice in my lifetime.
I know the feel and the taste, it's called "Eddie Jones"
Eddie Jones had so much potential.
My favorite Laker of the 90s.
I still have his #25 jersey before he had to change it.
Nash is fucking GOOOONE.
That interview said it all.
Really? Jones always bothered me. Seemed like a pussy when the game mattered. Trade rumors popped up and he'd go into a funk.
I pretended to be Sedale Threatt when shooting hoops by myself.
What did he say?
That he's looking at all options in the off season and that Phoenix is certainly on that list but he mentioned PHX as an afterthought.
RIP Suns. Goodnight Sweet Nash.
P.S. Plz come to LAL so the Razor-Nash NWO can truly begin.
Writing a small report for my Sports Psychology module on why athletes 'Choke' (and what interventions could be used to help the player overcome the problem) - I'm going to use a made up person, but he's pretty much based on LeBron James. I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions - might give me ideas on research to add to what I'm already looking at.

You don't know rage.
I promise it.
If we don't land in the top 3.
he's pretty much based on LeBron James.
In which direction?
On why he chokes? or how to over come it?
Nick Anderson 1995 NBA Finals.
And the consequences on his shooting for the rest of his career (look at the %).
And maybe there's something Freudian about that:
Torres dodged a bullet.
what a clutch tank game by the Warriors
2012 NBA Offseason |OT| Bobcats win the battle, lose the war
2012 NBA Offseason |OT| Davis better be Jesus
2012 NBA Offseason |OT| This better be worth it
Probably more on why he chokes - I'm guessing its pressure to be the best. I've singled out that its pretty much just in the Playoffs where he fails to perform to his high standards (mentioning how he's often the best player in regular season). Intervention wise I was thinking of using 2 out of:
Today was depressing as hell.
This is going to be a long off season

For some, its the fact that they get distracted from the game by the moment. Guys start thinking about the shot instead of all they need to do in order to get the shot in the first place.
When I got my first shitty trophy, I got matched up against a guy I already saw 4 times since my junior year in high school. He was a better player than me. Just abused me off screens like it was a hobby. We never had a beef or anything and I'm not one for trash talk, but I threw him off by asking him where his family was sitting - immediately after I baited his friend into a moving screen by sagging off harder than normal and before I knew it the guy wasn't even the same player mentally. Started getting irritated with teammates, started bullshitting on cuts he'd normally take without hesitation... it wasn't the main reason they lost, but it was one of the few times I saw someone forget how to play because of the moment.

I don't know about that for the W's.
They've got a lot to look forward to next year.
For the first time in a decade? they'll be fielding something akin to a Normal lineup.
Curry, Rush, Wright, Lee, Bogut is a very solid starting 5.
Klay & what ever you draft off the bench.
Its looking good in Warriors land next year. If curry can rehab his ankles properly you'll be set for a season over .500 atleast.
Tim Duncan is a free agent this summer also
Nash and Duncan taking their talents to South Beach
Nash/Wade/Bron/Duncan/Bosh
ugh
