Melo is so drunk. And not because it's the only way to get over playing for the Knicks.

Stay free, Melo!

Been a few days.

Trade still seems stupid. Not even any cap relief.

Why is the NBA dying again?

I don't think I'll be able to watch the first meeting. Bad fan, etc.

Well, It died here.

But really, only four or five teams are actually making money, right? Attendance down for most teams and all that? Unless that was all just the owners trying to get a better deal.

 

[TheKaeptain]

The finals had like the highest ratings of all-time.

Attendance means squat. The TV deals are the moneymakers.

fuck swizz beatz for ruining alicia keys

fuck him forever

brofist

I'm not mad at him for taking the best girl in the game but I'm mad at him for taking the best girl in the game.

I hope that makes sense.

Why is Harden cropped out?

lol kobe trollin'

what the hell, Kobe is on facebook but not Twitter? I bet Bynum is on myspace still, trolling for booty.

 

[Nori Chan]

Idk about you, but I would be pretty suspicious if you see him following 50 or so followers and all of them happen to be female and white

on facebook EVERYONE is a friend

Reinsdorf is not pretending to give a fuck:

"(General manager) Gar Forman has done a great job of turning over the bench," Reinsdorf said. "We lost most of our so-called 'Bench Mob.' But if you look at the numbers, the bench actually has the potential to be more productive than the old guys.

"We still have Joakim (Noah) and Luol (Deng) and Taj (Gibson) and Carlos (Boozer). I think we're going to be a pretty decent team without Derrick. Will we win a championship? I doubt that very seriously, but if we can hang in there and get to the playoffs and if Derrick comes back, who knows? We might be there at the end."

Ugh. Purgatory hell. "Gar Forman has done a great job being mediocre. This is the same shit you saw in Moneyball, when the A's were super comfortable in just replacing and stabilizing their team. Although in basketball, there's really no flexibility. Have stars or lose. Such a shame, last year could have been something special. At least a 5-7 game series with the Heat. Now they're just as much conceding the title in August. Weird to see the window close on one of the younger great teams in the league just a year ago.

 

[J2 Cool]

Rose would have been so awkward on this team.

 

[GraveRobberX]

It really looked like that team had a fun 2 weeks

It's like their inner Varsity High School souls unleashed

Can you imagine the smack talk each gave the other, the jokes, good lawd to be a fly on that wall

Rose would have been so awkward on this team.

He would've been injured somehow and rolling in on a wheelchair would have killed that atmosphere
Be like Team USA fulfilling a My Wish for ESPN to a boy named D. Rose

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

why you so awkward, Love?

Just because you're losing interesting doesn't mean the league is dying.

Attendance remained the same despite the lock out, and has been quite stable for the past few years. Don't believe any report that claimed only a handful of teams are making money. That's purely accounting tricks by the owners to put them in a better position for negotiations during the lockout. Besides, the new deal allowed more revenue sharing between teams so it doesn't even matter as much.

FYI, the English Premier is the most popular league in the world and the league loses money too. And who cares if billionaires like Richard Devos who scammed millions of people are losing a little bit money?

Sorry to be off topic but I think with some edits this could be useful to some fan bases

 

[reilo]

haha

 

[ph33nix]

AD, Durant, YNB, Love, and Harden should be back. New guys will probably include Rose, Kyrie, Griffin, Favors/Cousins, and Gordon.

Speaking of rose, he joined twitter: https://twitter.com/drose

Holy shit maybe he doesn't have the personality of an eel after all

 

[KingGondo]

Holy shit maybe he doesn't have the personality of an eel after all

Yeah, man.

I want to wish everyone on @USAbasketball good luck today. Bring home the gold! Wish I could be out there with you all #teamusa #olympics

Congrats @USAbasketball for getting the gold! s/o to @russwest44 @kingjames @kevinlove @kdtrey5 @cp3 and everyone on #teamusa #olympics

Downright bursting with personality, those.

Lets be honest, he proved himself all year. As the previous President of the HateLeBron fan club, I figured I'd be the last person in the world to give him his just due but man, he deserves it. Can't hate on him at all for his play nor how he has handled himself the last year. Let Puddles be the last person to deny him the respect he deserves.

he has always played great in the regular season, but this season the guy had a completely different demeanour that allowed him to succeed in the playoffs (and in these olympics).

Oh, I agree but watching him at the beginning of last season, you could tell that he was focused more than ever before. Like others have said, the only one that I just don't like on that team is Wade.

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

This is kind of bullshit. He showed he could play all four rounds without melting down and that was important to show, but he has had some pretty incredible playoff runs with strong demeanor before this year.

Once Dwight is back and in top shape, Pau might be the FOURTH option on this team. The dude that just led the Silver Medal Olympic team in scoring is our FOURTH option. lol small markets.
