    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    Carter has been pretty damn good while he's been on the Mavs. Either his age has finally mellowed him I can't say (I didn't watch him back in the day so no idea) - but he's unselfish, good with his team mates, and has been shooting a high% off the bench.

    If they could somehow get Asik and re-sign Brandan Wright I'd be happy. He's been top 20 in PER last 2 seasons and is a fantastic off the bench guy, too rail thin to be much of a starter/defender though - outside of blocks.

    Cmon they are much better than that, they got 41 wins with last year with Dirk missing 1/3rd of the season. They easily make the playoffs last year otherwise. Not saying it's a good thing to lose in the first round of the playoffs and get a bad draft pick, but Dirk playing 80 games has been...

    Carlisle will bench Ellis faster than he did Mayo if Ellis starts chucking up shots. Ellis has never been on a good team with an option like Dirk and a coach like Carlisle - no one gave a shit that he was a blackhole with GSW and the Bucks so he just kept on doing it. Given Carlisle's hatred...

    Calderon/Ellis is a huge huge huge upgrade over Collison/Mayo though. Mavs literally lost 10 games because of stupid turnovers by that backcourt late in games. So you're looking at Calderon/Ellis/Marion/Dirk/Dalembert as your starting 5, with Vince/Devin Harris/Jae Crowder/Brendan Wright...

    Any sports news I care about I read on Twitter, or an aggregate news site closer associated with my local teams - Sportscenter just seems like an outdated presentation with the speed of social media, they need to rework some things or they will keep losing viewers for their non-game porgramming.

    Dirk has his ring, that he got without having to team up with other superstars, he is totally validated. Plus, he just got married and has a kid on the way - no way he's moving his new family out of the only U.S. city he's ever known. Dirk is a god in Dallas and he has said he wants his...

    Dirk by himself is good enough for a playoff spot if he is healthy, I wish they could cryogenically freeze him because this is the one year tanking would be in your best interest. The tank plan won't fly with Dirk though so they'll be as competitive as they can in his remaining years and who...

    Yeah but it's no guarantee Colby Lewis or Matt Harrison will be up their top form in time for the stretch run/postseason, and Ogando is a proven short term starter but I still think he's at his best in the bullpen. If they don't want to have to use one of Tepesch/Grimm/Perez in the...

    Pretty much what has been the issue with Texas all year, too. Yu Darvish went 7 starts without a win and had an ERA close to 2.00 in those games. Their pitching is better than ever, but losing Napoli and Hamilton plus several stints on the DL for Kinsler, Moreland, etc have really caused the...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Yeah, neither Stafford or Romo have much of a run game. The Cowboys put up their least amount of rushing yards in their ENTIRE history as a franchise last year. Because of no run game, their red-zone offense/points scored was pretty pathetic - most touchdowns came from outside of 20 yards, could...

    They replaced all the great voice actors of the last decade in Genshiken with a bunch of new ones, plus Jun and Yukana. Sad face, seems like Ayako Kawasumi is not getting many roles these days.

    Dude, Cuban and Dirk didn't even show up. Sure Deron would of been nice for post-Dirk, but Cuban cares more about giving Dirk the best chance to win another ring. They made an effort because they had to but they didn't go 100% in on it.

    Meh, can't even compare the pitches. They hardly made an effort with Deron because they didn't really want him, a PG isn't going to negate Dirk's weaknesses at this point of his career but Dwight can. So they'll pull out all the stops for him.

    Dirk comes off the books next summer, so maybe they just want the 20 mil expiring contract. Dirk has no trade clause and Cuban isn't going to trade him no matter what anyways.

    Ditto in my area. I did have a PC but I only used it to play EverQuest and RPGs when I was home with no friends. Otherwise we had a bunch of Xbox's setup in separate rooms so no screen cheating, played almost exclusively Hang Em High+Pistols only, and talked shit by yelling across the house.

    Carlisle has been good every where he's gone, there's no way he isn't on a list of elite coaches. Only reasons he resigned/was fired from the Pistons and Pacers was front office friction, nothing to do with his coaching. Oh yeah, and he coached a team that beat 2 more talented teams (OKC...

    My list of "elite" coaches in the NBA right now is pretty small - Popp, Rivers, Carlisle, and Thibs - those 4 get the most of out their teams (team is the key word here, all 4 of their teams are less "talented" than the teams like OKC or Heat), and have an offensive or defensive system that have...

    Didn't make any officially but I can say I was totally wrong about the Nats. Oakland's pitching was too good for them to be much worse and add the Astros to the mix for an extra 5-7 wins over normal competition for the A's and Rangers, I figured both would make the playoffs.

    The cap is mostly due to the tournament software they use, which is horridly outdated (much like Magic Online). It's so outdated they still have to use laptops/computers with Windows XP to run it.

    If you don't think coaches matter, you don't watch the NBA. It might matter more than any other league. There's like 3-4 coaches in this league that can give you a huge tactical advantage, enough to overcome being less talented on the floor. Upgrading to Doc from Vinny del Negro is huge, and...

    Only guy it hurt was the guy who couldn't register because they hit the 4500 cap. The expected value of a 4500 person event is so bad that even a Pro would of been better off dropping if they opened $500 worth of cards.
