Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

It's only the first season, Geez'. Cut Mike and Mullin some slack. But I feel your pain.

But by the 2nd half of next season, I expect the Warriors to be playing better ball.

It's only Mully and Mike's first season.

Not so for me.

I've been watching this team wander since the mid seventies.

And no, I don't consider the Run TMC days the glory days. They were fun... but there was no glory.

There hasn't been glory since Rick Barry and his guys left. (And Jeez, two of that starting five are dead!)

Heavy sigh. Nothing to do but give them slack.

I can't even work up enough enthusiasm to get pissed.

If this keeps up it's going to be a lot of first seasons to come :sweat:

I actually started watching basketball in the 5th grade, the year the wariiors traded timmy and missed the playoffs after making it for so many years straight. I must be the bad luck, since I've become a fan, they have yet to make the playoffs once! :sweat:

spurs beat the kings 90-80, and the san antonio spurs improve to 22-1 at home. Manu Ginobili scored 25 points in the victory for the spurs.

Man, these non-U.S. players are putting the home grown ones to shame... Is it a wonder why the U.S. got dominated in the Olympics...?

yeap. the usa basketball team got dominated alright, not like the 1992/1996 NBA USA team basketball, they were a dominating team back then. Jordan, bird, magic, stockton, barkley...to name a few.

:bonk:

That was really a Dream team.... :D :woot:

think the avg point difference between the USA and other teams back in '92 was over 45 pts, that is just pure talent, strength and dominance, simply the best. I'd say the NBA is still exciting at times to watch, but not like before when there were better shooters and players in the league... :bonk:

I think the talent has been diluted due to the expansion... Either that, or today's NBA players are mediocre: how do you explain pro teams scoring 70 points or so in an entire game?

Guh. :bleh:

yeap, and they even brought the three pt line a bit closer, probably within 10 years ago. Low scoring, probably due to mediocre players.
Some college games are scoring higher points than some nba games.

:beaten:

warriors/clippers lost close games, :beaten: :grumble: :shakehead: :shamefulcry:

Lakers lose another one, this time to the Nets.

heat win again.
Suns win their fourth straight as Stoudemire scores 42 and nash gets 15 assist, i'd say they are rollin' once more, with the spurs right there beside them head to head. :bow: :applaud:

That's their first three game losing streak.

Awful season. :shakehead:

Hasn't been confirmed yet, but probably the stress of coaching such a high profile team is taking its toll on coach Tomjanovich... :sweat:


EDIT: Rudy T. just announced his resignation.... :(

that's unfortunate to the organization, rudy t. did an ok job. Lakers gone thru so much changes. i wonder how they will respond in the upcoming games, they won one so far.

Wow no more rudy t. could this be a return to those kurt rambis days? Hey i heard dennis rodman still wants to make a come back though :hehe:

One sportswriter on the L.A. Times is suggesting that PJ should come back to the Lakers.... :crazy: :shakehead: :sweat:


But as they say:

Never say never.

:hehe: :hehe:

Would the Lakers and the fans really want him back though? Not sure if you read his book, but he had a whole lot to say about the team and organization and also his one favorite player :sweat:

dennis wants to come back?!? i don't think he should come back.
