NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

Because it's the first time he's played 6 teams in a row that are this bad? I really have no clue if that's true but way to stomp 4 lottery teams, an 8th seed and the Clippers. The last one is definitely a quality win, but combine that with a hot streak and this is what you get.

I really don't care to look at it any further. It's impressive but meaningless and will be forgotten in a week.

I think you're really dismissing the accomplishment. He is the only person to ever do it, and only two others have done it 5 games in a row. Jordan, Chamberlin, Russell - none of them ever did it, not even for five games in a row.

I get all that. I'm just saying being able to score 30+ points on 60%+ from the floor for numerous games in a row is so fucking hard that no one has ever done it before.

I agree with Slaythe. Yeah, it's impressive in the short term, but does anyone really give a shit about something that happened in a six-game streak? The only records people care, and should care, about are: single-game, single-season and career. You can probably find all sorts of "only player to ever do this" stats if you could pick and choose small sample sizes.

That said, LeBron is indeed a badass.

I kinda hope he gets a few more rings so the GOAT discussion can be legit. The dude is playing at a level we haven't seen since Jordan

Melo was fucking terrible tonight.

Rudy Gay challenged that

Are all NBA teams adopting these new short sleeve uniforms? I honestly don't think they look too bad.

I like the style, myself.

And he won, both the game and the shitty shooting competition.

Turkoglu said in a statement released by the team that he took medication from a trainer in Turkey this past summer to help him recover from a shoulder injury. He said he ''didn't know that this was a banned substance and didn't check before taking it."

Haha that's such crap. Like he didn't know he was taking steroids. Dude hasn't been good at all lately anyway.

Looks like Jerry Buss is on his death bed with cancer. :/

Refs got stupid in 2nd half but LeBron is in an incredible zone right now.

Shut up you stupid faggot.

How is this game still going on??? Not even overtime and it's almost 3 hours in.

Thunder aren't built to beat the Heat. KD was a no show until the 2nd half and almost half his points came from the FT line lol.

Pacers & Spurs scare me the most outside of those teams I think if the Heat stay healthy they coast to a repeat.

Thunder still don't play like a team.

Can't beat the Heat with lesser talent unless you play as a team on both sides.

Also Scott Brooks is bad.

the Thunder have a better team, they just don't play together all the time, Durant included. The Heat just happen to have the best player on the planet and great defense
