2013/14 NBA season chatter - let the LBJ hating begin!

    Redick is about to drop 50.

    Gasol looks tremendous so far

    Mike D has come out and said not using him last year was strictly politics. He had to utilize D Howard in order to woo him. Obviously, he's going to say something to that extent; but I really believe it. He has always been a Pau fan. Pau should have a great, great year. Especially with Kobe on the mend.

    He's a shooter, shooters get hot. Still sucks ass at def and rebounding.

    He has gotten a lot better at both those areas then when he first came into the league. Redick has continually gotten better every year though.

    Phil would have found a way to get the most out of them together.

    I agree. But Phil was, unfortunately, never walking through that door.

    Yeah thanks too ego of management, still can't believe that happened.

    Xavier Henry is impressive so far. He has done nothing since leaving Kansas. If he could get it all together, he could really be a nice piece.

    He is so much more able to create and his overall game is way better than most predicted.

    Are most shooters good rebounders?

    When I'm thinking of pure shooters in the league, Steve Novak, Daniel Gibson, no I guess not. Got me there.

    yeah that would be huge for them

    Redick has turned into a VERY solid player, and actually a slightly above average defender.
  • Pick6
    hitting his arms is a flagrant?
  • Azubuike24
    I just don't see the Clippers being the threat they were a year ago.

    Interesting that Barnes, Collison and Hollins, all former UCLA guys, have found their way back to SoCal and will get some minutes.

    Clippers defense looks incredibly lazy and clueless.

    Yeah I know thank god that game opened up. Thought it would be a 48 minute slugfest after that first 18 minutes

    The Clippers surprised me. Jordan had a good game offensively, while Griffin was really inefficient, can't make a damn free throw, and is still making shitty Kia commercials. Neither excel on the defensive glass. They just seem to be going through the motions, waiting to make their next highlight dunk or block. I didn't watch enough of them of last season but I expect this performance was a carry-over from then.

    The Lakers are going to be interesting without Kobe. The bench players nearly doubled the starters scores. They have the Spurs on Friday so we'll see what happens when they don't play a team that's lazy as shit.

    If I didn't work night shift, I'd really consider NBA league pass, because ESPN/TNT's games are going to be the same shit all season. You can watch the Bulls & Clippers again tomorrow, and the Lakers & Heat again on Friday.

    I'm doing a pick 5 plan for that reason.

    It's going to be ny, Chicago, la, and Boston in every prime time game
