Went to the USA-Brazil game, the atmosphere was awesome. After a string of missed opportunities, the crowd grew rather restless very quickly, but LeBron's sterling second half more than made up for it. Good game.

Samurai, I would take that video as good news. It seems Smart told Brooks that he's not being handed the starting job.

This 2012 team can't even beat the 2008 team.
Yes, but they haven't put the box score up yet. It's also going to be in pdf format instead of just a regular webpage. So stupid.

Man that was a let down. We finally get a 47% 3 point shooter and he can't hit wide open shots, and hits less than 25%.

So I haven't been up to date reading this thread in awhile but no way the Knicks let Lin walk? Right?
I know ESPN and every other media outlet and sources are saying they won't match, but that just seems crazy to let Lin go to the Rockets. He's going to make them so much damn money and give the Knicks a whole new audience.
This is coming from a Suns/Bulls fan haha. Personally, it makes it more interested having him in NY than...in Houston.

So Heat players had to bail out team USA again eh? Sounds about right.
Deron son Im dissapointed.
I like it breh, way doper than the other scary chick. It's got that 4th chamber vibe.

Yeah, I watched that earlier. It's nice to know that Brooks signed anyway with that in mind but you know how it is with Keith... he never stabilizes anyone into a spot anyway. He starts and rotates guys based on if they're on a hot streak or not and it just turns into one giant clusterfuck because "consistency" is not in this team's vocabulary.
At least we're not overpaying AB. I just wish they would at least talk with T-Will. It's not fair. Or at least think about signing this Tony Mitchell guy on our SL squad. He looks somewhat promising.
Your roleplaying is one of the strangest things that happened in the offseason.

What can the knicks do now though? Half the knicks organization and locker room has taken a dump on Lin over the course of the last few weeks, because their hands are tied by their own incompetence so they can't take on $15M in 3 years.
If I were Jeremy Lin, even if I had just been testing the waters, well, now I'd want out of NY. That locker room is going to be more poisonous than the Wizards a few years back.
At least wait until he's out the door before you start talking shit. Now it'll be a disaster if he re-signs simply because of the way melo and others have torn into him for.... what, signing an offer sheet like a RFA?

I didn't even think this was possible.
Oh and I think Lin is mature enough to handle it if he does go back to NY. He isn't exactly J.R Smith, Nick Young or one of those idiots.

You acting like I wasn't telling shit like it was regarding OLY 08, before we won the chip. Wade was the Hero then, LBJ will be this year.
I bet Lin is praying he doesn't have to go back and kow-tow to that goal suck Carmelo, and i completely agree. He signed a contract that is poison pill. If he had any intention of going back to the Knicks he would have either directly negotiated with them or taken a deal that was specifically triggered to blow up the Knicks luxury tax payment in year 3.
No such thing. I said the pre-injury roster. You and the chat crew would love to say I'm changing my argument, but the forum has nice timestamps to back me up. Pre-injury Team USA could beat the original. That said, this injury-riddled team would probably stomp through the 1992 Olympics anyway. The foreign teams were terribad back then. PEACE.
What I liked about TWill was that he quickly found a role and that role was getting people involved on offense and applying defensive pressure. He just fit with the rest of the personnel so easily that I don't like the idea of hoping another chucker is a suitable replacement.

Mavs are going to be legit. They got a whole hell of a lot younger and I don't think Dirk has ever played on a team with this much talent.
The Kings are just about the only the team that would trade for him...
hey i like to say stupid things sometimes too

A 6/7 seed would mean that they'd be as good (see: bad) as last year so you're wrong. I think they could be as high as a 4 seed in the West. Jason Kidd was terrible for them last year. Jason Terry regressed. They shed Brandon Haywood. They're going to be a great team defensively with West, Marion, and Jones in the backcourt. They'll be a great offensive team that can play small or big. Brand and Kaman is a tremendous upgrade to their front court. They also got rid of Kidd, a player that passed up countless lay ups, for a young PG that has no problem driving to the basket. It will be impossible for Mayo to be as bad as Terry was last year. Their bench is rock solid too.

You're forgetting the fact that Kaman blows and is often injured. And Collison is at best average. I like Kidd more.
I dunno if Kaman is better than Haywood. His defense is a lot worse and he's inefficient on offense but uses a lot of possessions.
Terry was almost no different last season compared to the title run season. And OJ Mayo was worse on offense than Terry last year...and every year. His value is on D, though.
Dallas is not better than OKC, LAL, SAS, LAC. If things break right, possible 5 seed. They can be as low as 9 too, though.
PS: West isn't on Dallas right now and the OJ Mayo signing means he's might be gone.

Brand is much better than Haywood though. Kaman is likely going to be playing with the second unit so it doesn't matter if he's injured a lot or not.
Jason Kidd is a great floor general and plays decent defense, but if he's not hitting three pointers he is a complete waste out there. Collison is going to blow up next year. People forget how good he was when he was on a decent team. Indiana will regret trading him.

How would you feel about Jimmer as your starting point guard?

God damn it. Can the Bears just sign Lee and give him to the Bulls. We know damn well Bulls won't do shit. Damn Friedell saying they shouldn't do anything and save cap space.

Its a damn shame. That Bulls team is probably the toughest team the current heat have faced, not counting godmode Mavs.

Nah, our power forward is capable of playing defense.
And Hill might as well join. Still no defender off the bench.
not good.. but i don't think that will ever be his best role in the NBA. If he plays like he gives no shits like he says he will next season .. and he did yesterday, he could be one of the more explosive off the bench scorers in the NBA.
Nate Robinson like role, super Eddie House maybe?

Indiana and Boston took them to 6 games. And any objective viewer of the Boston series knows they got completely robbed in game 2 by the refs. They would've been up 2-0 if that game wasn't one of the worst officiated major playoff games in over a decade.

I hate Stockton with a passion but there is no way to deny that he is one of the top 5 greatest PG ever..

Part of me says Dolan cracks under the pressure.
Then part of me remembers he refused to fire Isiah 832 times because he gets all resistant any time anybody tries to tell him what to do.
