NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

The fans played that perfectly...I don't know how collectively they got that done, but that's exactly how I would have scripted it.
Nice moment there.

Are the 2014 Brooklyn Nets legit contenders?

PG - Deron Williams
SG - Joe Johnson
SF - Paul Pierce
PF - Kevin Garnett
C - Brrok Lopez

Bench: Jason Terry, MarShon Brooks, CJ Watson

Nope.

The decision to trade him isn't at issue. What they traded him for is the problem. They basically got nothing for one of the 3 best 2 guards in the league. They could have held him(Westbrook wouldn't have gotten hurt because no Rockets in the playoffs)and then traded him for the number 1 or 2 pick + more assets. They completely fucked it up.

Stop being stupid. If they hadn't traded him the world would have blown up a couple months ago.

Supposedly trying to shop Rondo too. They're looking to tank hard next year and try to get Wiggins I guess.

Lol, Bill Simmons' commentary has made this draft worth watching. He might have a breakdown live on air. "Don't get fired, Bill."

Yep. Nets also acquire Terry.

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. Botton line- the Joe Johnson trade fucked that franchise so good. Can't believe that guy is still due 70 mill over the next 3 seasons. I wouldn't give him 8 mill to play next year.

Maybe if it was 5 years ago.

The Brooklyn Nets are the island of misfit toys.

David Stern knows whats up.

I love what the 76ers did. To get my favorite PG in the draft and Noel, along with a loosely protected '14 pick and that should get them in a quick rebuild mode

Crown the Nets!

Celtics got 3 first round picks as part of the compensation for KG and PP.
