2011-2012 NBA Season Thread
QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 07:20 AM) Don't worry, he'll disappear into nothingness soon enough. He's not a very good player. You'll get to see just how bad he is at basketball very soon. Rubio vs. Lin.

Peavy ready for bounce back season
QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 12:49 AM) Juan Pierre arguably had a decent season last year. So decent that he couldn't get a major league deal, let alone a starting job.

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) http://twitpic.com/8gp27i Ladies and gentlemen, your 2011-12 Washington Wizards I remember an earlier video of McGee not knowing where to set a pick in practice. John Wall had to tell him to move. He's either dumb as rocks or just zones out randomly.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) China has a little bit more of a history with Taiwan, the whole not recognizing their independence thing. I dont know if it impacts Asian Americans. Just because the governments don't agree doesn't mean that Chinese NBA fans won't like Jeremy Lin. Sure, he won't be anywhere near as big as Yao Ming, but right now, there are no big name Asian players in the NBA.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) He already has a cult following. Good year for Harvard. He's great for the NBA. He gets Asian Americans more excited about the sport. Plus, think about how much publicity he'd get in Asia. Lin's Taiwanese too, just look what happened with Chen Mien Wang, he's worshiped in Taiwan (according to my Taiwanese roommate).

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 6, 2012 -> 03:23 AM) Yea that was pretty weak, but nothing out of the ordinary with a fan defending their favorite team and/or player. But I thought Felix was the most objective person in the world?

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 5, 2012 -> 11:01 AM) Unfortunately I didn't actually see the game, but I'd imagine Love was heavily provoked before doing that sort of thing. That's pretty far out of his regular comfort range. Upon rewatching it again (and again), I honestly don't think it was intentional. It looks like his foot got caught up in Scola's arms when he was about to go up court and he really had no other place to step. I wouldn't be surprised if he's suspended, but I don't really think he was intentionally trying to step on Scola's face. That being said, it's hilarious that they didn't call any of that play a foul. That's about as obvious as you can get. This almost sounds like a Lions fan trying to defend Suh.

Super Bowl 46 thread
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 4, 2012 -> 09:12 PM) Belichick is cold blooded. Patriots cut WR Tiquan Underwood and sign DE Alex Silvestro from the practice squad the day before the Super Bowl. Wow...I feel bad for Underwood.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 05:25 PM) He got to the line 14 times today. He only averages about 5 attempts per game, IIRC. He can do that all the time. Who can stop him? Even Miami couldn't, which is what was really impressive today. Also, Wade just looks like an old man trying to draw fouls. Even though Hamilton shot like crap today, he held Wade down pretty well on defense.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 29, 2012 -> 05:16 PM) This was Rose's most impressive performance. He was in attack-beast mode all game. He missed like three shots he normally makes. And of course those two FTs. Good game all-around. Nothing was really proven today. If you thought the Bulls could beat the Heat, nothing that happened today, good or bad, would change your mind. Rose stopped attacking for a while in the 4th and that's when Miami had that nice little lead. I just hope the missed free-throws make Derrick work even harder.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 07:36 PM) What the hell happened to Brandon Jennings? He's, like, good. He went back to being bad in the second half. He and Stephen Jackson are terrible chuckers sometimes. Wait, Jackson's a terrible chucker all the time.

I wish Korver took that shot instead of Scal. Although, if Scal did make it, that would have been hilarious.

Fielder to Detroit 9 years $214million
QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 12:41 PM) He's been anywhere from a 6.0 WAR or a 4.0 WAR in his career. That averages out to 5.0 WAR per year. He has no speed, plays below average defense and plays 1B. He's also changing leagues. These are all hits to WAR value. 5.0 WAR for next year is generous. 4.5 WAR is a good estimate IMO. The Tigers will regret this contract in 3-4 years.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 16, 2012 -> 03:21 PM) Man, Kyrie Irving can f***in' ball. I know he was the first pick and all. But I didn't think he'd be this good right away. He's basically doing what Rose did his rookie year. He's another CP3.

This Pats defense is straight up dangerous now. If they can get this kind of pressure, it doesn't matter how bad their secondary is.

Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 13, 2012 -> 06:31 PM) I had an EVO and now own a GSII. Go with the GSII for sure. I didn't feel like spending $500 on a GSII. So I bought an unlocked Galaxy S Vibrant for less than half the price. ICS and the price was too much for me to say no.
