Re: NBA 2012-2013

I think the Clippers are certainly a worthy consideration for West Finalists, they are athletic and have great depth guard-wise.

What they don't have is a true post player, and lack "bangers" and rebounders. This will likely come to bite them come playoff time.

They are a nice regular season team, just not a very good playoff team on paper. That's why I'm not too high on them just yet...

Clippers just play lets jump higher then everyone else. No way they make it the finals.

Not sure how much stock I'd put in this, but's it's always fun to discuss hearsay and rumors around the trade deadline:

Chad Ford, ESPN.com: “I’ve heard rumblings that if Howard told Laker officials this summer that the only way he’d stay in LA is if Kobe leaves, the Lakers could end up choosing Howard over Kobe. It’s an unlikely scenario, but one worth watching.”

ACK. WOW. I wonder how that is gonna play out. Shyeah... sucks to be a lakers fan right now.

Got to say, it seems like karma. The Lakers once before had to choose between an big man and a guard. It's come full circle.

Then it is time for D12 to G.T.F. out of our town...

Yeah but Shaq wasn't a Laker lifer like the Mamba. I don't see this being a hard decision to make.

Speaking of D12...thought this was funny...Coach Pop can feel Lakers' pain

According to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, on Mike and Mike in the Morning, Popovich wasn’t too pleased with Dwight Howard during the All-Star Game. Smith says, that Popovich was drawing up a specific play for Howard, but when he was ready to run it, Howard was too busy socializing with the celebrities in the crowd and wasn’t even in the huddle. Then according to Smith, Popovich hurled a few F-Bombs in Howard’s direction.

Man, how anyone could compare Howard to Lebron is beyond me. They mightve been born with similar athletic ability but LeBron has at least started to realize his potential. Howards a loss cause. i wouldn't want him on the Heat that's for sure. He's waaaay immature.

Re: NBA 2012-2013

If Lakers are smart they will run..not walk..run as far away from D12 as possible...dude is an enigma wrapped up in a riddle wrapped up in a vag...

How do you figure? I've been saying the Heat would go to the finals all year and also beat the Thunder.

Well, in that case we agree a lot.

Clippers and Spurs on TNT, should be a good one. Just hope Pop plays everyone...

Heat and Bulls before that.

Eh, Heat got that, plus I work till 9pm so I'll miss most of it. Spurs and Clippers should be more competitive, then again Bulls beat the Heat a few weeks ago so I guess we'll see.

Re: NBA 2012-2013

Like I've been saying all year long, Tony Parker deserves MVP more than CP3 (but because CP3 plays in a big market we know that's not gonna happen yada yada). It's nice to see some of the enlightened media start to acknowledge TP's play this season.

God I love Skip...

Yup, got a good ole fashion butt kicking by the end. This is going to be a very up and down year without Rose.

Re: NBA 2012-2013

Bulls need Rose back ASAP
