NBA 2003/2004

[Mondo J. Gecko]

I thought we could have a thread for those of us into Basketball. My personal favourite team is The Toronto Raptors and with the newly aquirred PF/C Chris Bosh, and Vince Carter, I say with no problem Raptors are gonna make the playoffs this year ( plus we beat Detriot the other night :lol: )

[Reznorite420]

Pffft...Spurs had better defend the championship this time :P

[Mr. Snackpants]

Detroit will run the table this year, thanks to the beastiness of Ben Wallace. Mondo J Gecko, I wouldnt be sure the Raptors will make the playoffs, cause we all know Vince will be injured for most of the season. Anyone get NBA Live yet?? Or NBA ESPN Basketball?? Im getting Live shortly, but Im low on money because of the TMNT games.

Yeah you never know with Vince, he always seems to get injured at the worst times, but hopefully he can keep it together. As for Detroit, Ben Wallace is like my Third Favourite player, so I hope they do good this season.

[malignant]

The Spurs arent going to Defend...

the Lakers are a freak'n ALL star team. Shaq's in Shape.....and yeah, they'll be champs again.

I hate the lakers though, but its just reality.

Sad but True, I Hate The Lakers as well, but what about Kobe? :-? He can't play if he's guilty, And I'm still praying that the lakers don't win agian, please somebody from the east win.

[malignant]

Kobe's a celeb.....quilty or not, he's playing.

mainly because he wont be found quilty....damn OJ and his trend starting !

[Mondo J. Gecko]

:lol: :lol: :lol: silly O.J. :lol: :lol: :lol: , seriously, I doubt it will even go to trial. Like you said Hes a celeb.

Now that is just stupid! He is a caleb so let him off with a slap on the wrist and a souvenir suit. That is just dumb! Lock him up and throw away they key! Back on Topic: I aint into basketball but GO RAPTORS GO! Home Team!

[GK Punk]

This may be the kings year. (I say that every year)

[XERO]

This may be the kings year. (I say that every year)

And every year they lose. :D :P

[R-iZZy]

HAHA... Kobe just might win his case. It was reported that the girl who claimed to be raped had to send in clothing for evidence and finding semen samples. It just so happens that "woman" never cleaned her undies, and there were two or three other semen samples with different DNA. So she had sex with like three guys before Kobe, and that was all within a time span of three days. Heh... funny how she wanted those guys, but didn't want Kobe. The judge should consider that something... Kobe should have this one!

But forget what you all heard, the Magic may have made the mistake of trading Ben Wallace to the Pistons for Grant Hill (worst... trade.... ever!), but we still have T-Mac to settle the score. HOW COULD WE TRADE DARYLL ARMSTRONG? Worst.... mistake.... ever! Regardless of these faults, the Magic might have a good franchise this year, regardless of the fact that the Magic can't get a good win in the pre-season. This might be our year...

I hate the lakers though, but its just reality.Is that so? What was their excuse last time? ;)

[GK Punk]

Hehehehhehehehe :lol: :lol:

LOVED When they lost the last game, they started crying.
That's what they get for being so cocky.

MAY have made a mistake??? they DID make a huge mistake, Grant Hill sucks and I doubt he'll ever play again.
As for Kobe, I bet he did it. And he'll rot in jail.

[That Matt Guy]

Dallas is screwed this year. They shouldn't have traded Van Exel.

[Mondo J. Gecko]

Van Exel wasn't that important to the team, I thought that was the best trade of the season, Van Exel for Jamison.... Except the Warriors are screwed this year. And as for the Magic..... T-Mac owns Orlando :D .

[Mars-Chan]

LAKERS ALL THE WAY! :D

[RskimB]

Hopefully the PACERS will be healthy soon and have a succesful season

[Mondo J. Gecko]

Yeah I like Reggie Miller so I hope they at least make the playoffs this year.....

[RskimB]

You must mean get far in the playoffs.

They got tossed in the first round by the Celtics :cry:

[Mr. Snackpants]

Reggie is washed up, hes done

[R-iZZy]

Nah, Reggie's always been used as a 3-point threat. I don't think that part of him has left yet.

[R-iZZy]

Okay... I will admit that Orlando has made about twenty thousand mistakes. For one, they lost their Magic Squad, Dennis "3D" Scott, Penny Hardaway in his prime, Nick Anderson, Shaquille O'Neal, Horace Grant, Brian Shaw. The Magic has the best starters AND bench warmers. I just don't understand how a franchise could go downhill. T-Mac is my dawg and all, but he needs to move on to a better team. As for Grant Hill, he was good... just not when it comes to staying 100%. The Magic wasted so much money on this waste, and I predict he will get injured again this year!

As for Kobe, please don't make your personal thoughts effect how he does on the court. I've always supported Kobe, all the way through this rape case. He'll win his case, so I think. He needs Jonny Cocharan! But he'll pull through and do some things. I just wish the NBA would allow Skip 2 My Lu to actually hit And 1 moves on the court, rather than traditional dribbling. I guess that's what ESPN2 is for, when they show Street Ball events. Iverson's going to shine this year, as he always does. And I predict he will yet again be on the cover of the next Sega NBA game (Sega NBA 2K4... is Sega still making that series?).

[Cascadia]

I do not want to talk about my state's basketball team.....they are not very good.

Yes, Reggie is washed up, hes nothing like he used to be. Last I heard and I dont think its changed, Grant Hill isnt playing this year. Then again I dont play lots of attention to the magic. Please dont make your personal thoughts effect how he does on the court???? Are you talking about the basketball court?? or did you mean court?? I think he did it, and he shouldnt get special treament, and should go to jail. Youre making your personal thought about kobe effect how youll think he does in court. You like him, so you dont think he did it. You dont want my personal thoughts to effect how I think he'll do in court, yet youre doing it :roll:
The game is now called; ESPN NBA Basketball and Iverson is ALREADY on the cover. I dont know why all these video game companies want thugs on their cover :roll:

[Mondo J. Gecko]

Raptors beat the Nuggets..... Hahaha 4-0 in the Preseason :P

[malignant]

I do not want to talk about my state's basketball team.....they are not very good.

Untill this year.....so don't feel bad to talk about them, Brag about them..=]
Nuggets have talent this year...the best rookie..carmello Anthony...yes, he is better then lebron. Hes already proved it in pre-season. And they;re 3-1 in the preseason.....and they have the best Jerseys in the league now !

go Nuggets !

Your Right Carmello better win Rookie of the year this year, LeBron hasn't proved nothing yet, what are the cavs at like 2-2?? Nuggets are doing way better!! :D

It doesnt matter what teams have better records, its the preseason.

Okay, first of all... when I refer to a basketball court, of course I will say the court. As for my personal feelings on Kobe, I don't base that on how he'll do in his case. The new evidence presented (with that Katey Fabre girl having three other semen samples with different DNA on the same pannies she wore when she screwed Kobe, and these pannies haven't been washed in three days, so she had three guy within three days before Kobe) should pretty much drop a clue to the judges (how could she want three other guys yet not want a celeb all of sudden? She's not scarred from the event, she's just hungry for money). Kobe may have commited adultery, and that is something he will have to live with, but we all know he didn't "rape" the girl. She's screaming rape to collect money, knowing she was only a one-night stand, and she can't stand that.

As for Iverson, I don't think they put him on the cover because he's a "thug", it's clearly because he's the hottest franchise... a street baller AND an NBA All-Star in one. Why would he not deserve to be on the cover? But they call it ESPN NBA Basketball now? Heh... I guess Sega really did hang up!

[RskimB]

Reggie is washed up, hes done


Even though Reggie won't be scoring as much as he used to you can't say he's washed up, his performance against Minn. tonight proves that.


R. MILLER 27 min, 8-12 shooting, 3-3 FT, 2 REBOUNDS, 2 AST, 19pts.

[R-iZZy]

Geez... with those stats, maybe he is falling off. But then again, this is only the pre-season.

ok, you meant the basketball court. But it doesnt make any sense: As for Kobe, please don't make your personal thoughts effect how he does on the court. huh?? I dont think my pesonal thoughts effect him on the court. We all dont know what happened, no of us were there.

[Mondo J. Gecko]

The Raptors play the nets tonight should be a good match up :) . And I saw a sweet dunk by Lebron on NBA Inside Stuff this morning ( but the Cavs are still losing :P )

[Mondo J. Gecko]

ARRG!!! The Raptors Lost to the Nets 82-76!!! There goes the Preseason Winning streak!!! :evil: oh well.... better then Cleveland :P

Not with a healthy lineup it ain't true.... Toronto is gonna murder teams this year, with a Healthy Vince( :lol: ) , a Healthy Antionio Davis and a Healthy Chris Bosh, Everybody Else is dead!!

[R-iZZy]

Yeah, if Vince doesn't get injured this year, then I can see the Raptors taking on everyone. But they need to expose more of their players, rather than keep the main event fed with all the media and hype. Trading T-Mac was their biggest mistake ever. The problem was that they always gave Carter so much attention, as T-Mac was just a sidekick. If Vince has to work as a one-man show, the Raptors won't be getting anywhere.

[Mr. Snackpants]

What do you guys think about the Dallas-Boston trade??? I think Boston got screwed, Fatoine is better(even tho I hate him). And, WOW look at the Dallas roster.......Fatoine, Nowitzki, Nash, Jamison, Finley, and Delk to name a few. How will they fit their best guys on the floor. I read on a site that Fatoine will play "point forward". Itll be interesting. I like these guys over the lakers because, 1) I hate the Lakers, 2) Its cheap how guys go there for little money to get a frickin ring...Karl, and 3) Will Kobe play/ Will his **** off the court effect him and/or his team.

Even if Vince is heathly, I dont think they will be great, but make the playoffs in one of the last 3 spots.

[R-iZZy]

The Maverick had my (half)brother's dad on there. Wherever he went, I have no idea. But Dallas's roster ain't looking too bad. Finley, Nowitzki, Nash, and Delk were all that needed to be said to show they have a VERY good squad.

[RskimB]

Although the Celts got hoared in this trade I can't understand why the Mavs picked him up. Maybe in case Jamison can' deliver? :-? I don't know, but you'd think they would want to keep their big men(their weakspot), however they did add more firepower(however they already had plenty) with Antoine and gave backcourt a little depth with Delk.

[Mondo J. Gecko]

All I can say is Mavs are gonna be contending for the rig this year.... they may not have to big of an inside presences, but the have a sweet outside game.... I mean look at there Line-Up:
Nash- sweet outside game, hits threes no problem
Walker- hits three all the time and can drive inside
Nowitzki- hits Threes no problem, and can sometimes be a force inside
Finely- likes to dunk
Delk- is a great 6th man
Jamison- Young Gun who can Dunk
Bradley- I guess he's there force to recon with Shaq???

Dallas should be contending for a ring this year... no problem

[Leo33]

I love the Mavs and with these recent trades, they have a very good chance of going far. The only problems are their big men and they have too many good players to play. Too many players that can all score 20 per game.

[Duke]

Lakers fan here. And i love the fact that they picked up the glove, Gary Payton but i hate Karl Malone. I'd much rather have seen my man Robert Horry stick around than get that washed up arthritis filled old mailman. As for Kobe, i'm not making a comment, except that i've lost alot of respect for him.

HAHAAHAHA!!!! Fatoine??? Hits 3 all the time....BECAUSE he shoots so damn many. Hes always shootin the three, its ridiculous!! Thats hardly all he does. Last year, Fatoine made 188 3FG, which was second best in the league. But he attempted 588!!!! Which is .323%, which also sucks. He isnt a great 3pt shooter. Hell Im sure anyone could make 188 shots out of 588. Sorry about my rant but I hate the celtics, even if Fatoine is a Maverick I still hate him and I hate the mavs too.

[Mondo J. Gecko]

:lol: :lol: :lol: I never knew he shot that much...... :lol:
Regular season starts in less than a week people :D

:lol: 588 attempts...... :lol:

Pacers squeek by with win thanks to Anthony Johnson's game winning 3 pointer, improve to 2-1
