NBA Locked out.

It's a tricky situation when there is so much money at stake.

Re: NBA Thread

I think I read today that NBA players can be fined $1mil if they talk to someone at their club other than a player. Irrespective of circumstances its a sad state of affairs.

More amusingly, their coaches have apparently been told they are allowed to follow their players on Twitter, but they can't retweet their messages.
World's gone mad.

Re: NBA Thread

Bump.
Lockout over, Christmas start.

On a side note: After watching some highlights today, (and I never thought I'd say this), but I'm looking forward to watching some Timberwolves games this year. With players like Love, Beasley, Barea and the two rookies Williams and Rubio, the highlights should be flowing this season for Minnesota..............well maybe a close second to the Clippers who have the Paul & Griffin show?

Blake should average 25 ppg with CP3 passing to him

Re: NBA Thread

Might change but at the moment it looks like no coverage on ONE who did 2-3 games a week last season.

Re: NBA Thread

Won't change, they are no longer a sports channel and have dropped the contract.

Re: NBA Thread

Good to see Patty Mills get a gig with the Spurs today. Got a couple through the hoop too looking at the stats.

Re: NBA Thread

Thought I'd give this thread a touch since the NBA finals are kicking off tomorow.
I'm not really over the Celtics loss yet but considering how far they got without Jermain O'neal and Jeff Green, it's not a bad effort.

My thoughts are with the cities of Cleavland and Seattle, both would have the sh$ts with this years finals.

Can't believe San Antonio bombed out.

Well I didn't see any of the ECF/WCF but wondering if the Spurs (and Celtics for that matter) were just running out of legs as the playoffs got deeper? OKC are a very young runnin' gunnin' side.

A mate was telling me how Ice Kevin Durant has been in the playoffs. Not showing off after dunks etc. For that reson (and being so young) I hope they take it out this year. Will still spare some thoughts for Seattle if that happens though.

Re: NBA Thread

Resurrecting this thread - who's been watching? I haven't watched a lot of NBA in my time but I have adopted the LA Clippers. Watched a stream of the thrashing they gave GSW today, CP3 was unfreakingbelieveable!

Re: NBA Thread

(Lifted from the "my favourite NBA team" thread)

It was the Seattle Sonics but they were taken away from me. I can't follow any other team now and the NBA just doesn't seem the same anymore.

Buckle up G-Mo, Isn't there a rumor that a Seattle based business is looking to buy the Sacramento kings?
I know it aint the Supersonics, but back it the Rainy City never the less.
