2014-15 Around the NBA thread

This could be good for the thunder in the end. Maybe not this year but going forward. Ibaka has always been on the cusp of becoming a star. He just hasn't gotten over the hump. He needs to step up and maybe this is the thing that will get him there. It may not but this would be the time. He needs that killer instinct. He is already a beast on d.

Miami looks solid. I think they're going to be a challenge.

Klay balled out last night. Trying show why he got that big contract.

Thunder are probably going to be out of the playoffs. I have no clue how they are going to even play 30% without Westbrook and KD. I did not look at their schedule but if they play the 76ers, Magic, Bucks every game till Christmas they might be fine. Outside of that they are in real trouble.

Not a fan of suggesting tanking, but they may want to think about sitting those to out longer and praying to the bouncing balls.

They aren't out all year. Big time overreaction.

I'm going to be happy to watch him play tuesday vs us. I like BG until the point the circle jerk begins. For this reason, I root for him when he plays, but root against him when he's up against us.

LOL Cavs. Kyrie and LeBron are not going to be very good together.

Man OKC is getting wrecked by injuries...

 

[PolarBear]

Man, poor Kobe. Surely he will ask for a trade from that team. What a waste of talent on such a piss poor roster. Even at his advanced age and injury history, still dropping big time numbers.

Teams up with Melo, Fisher and Phil back in New York before the trade deadline? I am calling it.

 

[ursamajor]

Chris Paul is getting embarrassed.

The '95-'96 Bulls 72-10 record is in danger of being broken by the 1-3 Cavs. Just ask a Cleveland fan.

Starting to think that record is one that will stand the test of time unless rules change in the future that allow teams to more easily assemble powerhouses.

Kyrie Irving stat line: 34 points, 0 assists. :nope:

 

[PolarBear]

The Western Conference may be even more open than it has been in previous years. I could make a legitimate case for the Spurs, Clippers, Mavericks, Rockets, GS Warriors or Trailblazers to be winners in the West. OKC will still be around and may end up being a lower seeded team that upsets a higher seed in the playoffs. Grizzlies are still hanging around as well.

That conference is ridiculous. Meanwhile, it's pretty much the Bulls, Cavs and the Heat in the East.

Dajuan Wagner is attempting a comeback

Dajuan Wagner is making a basketball comeback and has signed with the Philadelphia Spirit of the American Basketball Association.

Wagner, 31, last played in the NBA in November 2006.

"I need to get some good up-and-down going," Wagner said. "I've got to get my feet wet and see where I'm at."

Wagner played one season at Memphis and was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2002 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Wagner said he was contacted by a couple of teams in the NBA Development League after word of his comeback plans became public.

was supposed to be Cavs savior before that guy named LeBron James came along

He had talent. He got decimated by injuries though...a seemingly all to common occurrence. Not everyone can be Shaun Livingston.

 

[Scoot26]

He also went to Memphis.
