    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    Warriors deal away 20 mill in contracts by giving Utah two future firsts, take nothing back. Use that space to sign Iguodala. They're trying to make themselves more attractive to Howard and legit S&T options are still available...

    Warriors in the mix for Dwight, I likey. Bogut + either Klay or Barnes in a S&T would be the deal to Lakers. I'd much prefer to give up Klay if it comes down to that. If Bogut's foot wasn't giving him an air of Yao Ming, I'd be fine running with him and the squad we basically had this past...

    There's no way they want Dirk now. Whoever wrote that article is making shit up. Celtics have passed the point of no return, they need to lose to next season.

    It'd be funny if it weren't so smart. They had to blow it up because they didn't have anything to build around in the long term, and they didn't really have anything to draw a big name free agent. Free agents aren't going to go there just cause they're the Celtics, the Celtics need to have...

    Either of the last couple picks in that deal could turn out to be lottery because of how old that team is. Deron Williams has had his share of injury issues, who knows how effective he'll be in a couple years. Joe Johnson's contract really ties them up in terms of being able to sign FA's. Of...

    Nets- the slow get slower. This roster looks like the Lakers going into last season with all these old players nearing the end, but not as good. Who is gonna get down an dirty on that team, play the tough D, make the hustle plays? KG will still do some, but he can't do it all game long...

    Yeah I'd put Adleman in Tier 2 because of his track record. Tier 1 is Popovich, all by himself. Adleman has overachieved with the talent he's had in a number of places, he's just never had that one player on any of his teams. Drexler and Webber were the closest things he had to a superstar...

    Nah, they're far more important in the NFL. I'd say NBA comes second though. I'm not sold on Rivers being a great coach. Good yes, but great? I dunno. A large part of his success can be attributed to the roster and having Thibideau (who is definitely a great coach) as a great assistant...

    Do I want a tablet or a convertible?

    This thing looks pretty nice. 3200x1800 corei5 Haswell Win8-Android dual OS. That said, I don't think I'd want to shell out the cash for one (price unannounced). The screen is undoubtedly going to make the price over 1k and if I'm gonna pay that much I'd want to opt for something more towards...

    Actually caproom wouldn't be a problem unless the Warriors screw things up this offseason (which I think the new management is too smart to do). When Lebron turns FA, the Warriors will have Biedrins (9m), Bogut (14m), and Jefferson (11m) coming off the books.

    I've always thought 50/50 calls should be jump balls. And don't say there's no such thing as a 50/50 call cause that's fucking stupid. The block/charge is a prime example of it. So many times there are blocks / charges where it's like fuck if you know whether the defender was set or not...

    Nah, it's a huge upgrade for a season or so pending a couple big IFs. If Howard can get a little healthier and play closer to what he was, and IF Garnett can keep his fountain of youth running for another year, that frontcourt is SO much better than Griffin / Jordan. Garnett and Howard are...

    Do I want a tablet or a convertible?

    It has better battery life though because of Haswell. I'd just wait (which is exactly what I'm doing) for a good ultrabook / hybrid with one of the lower TDP Haswells in it. No need to shell out Apple premiums to get that battery performance / lightness.

    Yes, just form those first 4 notes prior and play it sorta like a chord but mute everything immediately after. That's the way I've always played it and I'm pretty sure Hammett plays it that way.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The first scene of this episode with all the Lannisters around the table was great, too bad it kinda peaked there. Arya going postal on that guy was cool. Episode should have ended on the scene with Jaime coming in to see his sister, cause yeah the Dany scene was dumb. I can't remember, was...

    Clearly that shot was off his fingers just as the light was coming on. Warriors still the only team to beat the Spurs in the playoffs! I'll be really surprised if I can still say that after game 2, so I gotta use it one last time while I can.

    Yeah, the airplane scene was pretty good, too bad the movie peaked there. Superman returns and then we get another lame Lex Luthor scheme. At least it was kinda cool when the kid squashed a henchman with the piano. I'm in the same boat. I never worry about seeing a movie soon after...

    The Silmarilion. Maybe as an HBO series, but preferably as 3 movies.

    Where's Mippo at? We need some insight as to why Wade is still the best player on the team and that he's playing 10x better than Kobe ever could have if he were this hurt.

    That's part of what made that movie so awesome. I never get tired of watching the scene where he goes back to the diner and owns that guy. Spins the dude on his barstool at like 3000 RPM and just tells everybody, "Oh, I've been working out." Classic. I wouldn't be surprised to see Zod...

    I watched that newest trailer like 5-10x today. My expectations are probably too high for this movie right now, have not been so excited about a new movie since the LoTR's.

    That's their best bet, hard as it is to imagine the Lakers actually trying to tank. Ideally though, they find a way to pull off a S&T for Howard where they get at least one young piece or a pick + expirings in return. That's the only way Howard gets a max 5-year deal, so there is incentive...

    I just hope the officiating isn't too lopsided in game 5. The Warriors got no home love from the refs in 3 and 4 (the Bogut on the line thing was just a ref missing a call, not home cooking). The refs took Bogut out of game 3 with ridiculous calls and then really took him out of game 4 early...

    Eh, much stranger things have happened. I actually like the matchup with the Spurs a little more than I did with the Nuggets. Spurs are obviously a better team, but they don't have the number of physically imposing wings / bigs that the Nuggets had to slow down the Warriors backcourt with. I...

    That was one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen, but wow that sucks. Shitty way to see the end of Kobe's career as Kobe. He'll be back in some capacity, but he won't be the same. He'll be 36-37 by the time he can play again. If Howard leaves (which he should if he wants to win)...
