I don't see a thread around like this so I figured I'd start one.

Crazy game in New York, Knicks still play no D.

And Shumpert sucks.

Lol @ Daniels being surprised about that foul.

Boston still got it. Sure they lost to day, but not by much and Pierce wasn't even there.

Chandler had 7 points and 3 rebs lol. He sure was a rebounding force there....

But not surprised Carmelo showed up in the 4th. Only thing I do like about him lol.

Rondo has a jumpshot... he's even more lethal now lol.

Oklahoma will win the West and we will win the East, its inevitable

Lakers look really good, I could see them pulling a 10-11 Celtics, where everyone tries to predict their decline and they go ahead and dominate in the regular season with their cohesiveness and experience.

I don't understand this consensus people have came to with OKC winning the West.

Its more of a "by default" kind of situation. I don't think anyone is that confident in the Thunder, but you could argue both LA and Dallas got worse this season (as well as older), and the Thunder can benefit from a year of maturity.

The Knicks are back...to not playing defense. :lol:

104 points given up to a Pierce-less Celtics team - that's pretty bad considering the Celtics w/Pierce often struggle to score. Great game by Rondo, and some clutch shots by Carmelo. Bass was impressive.

Never thought I'd say this but go Lakers! I don't like Fisher but that block he had on Loozer was beautiful. Gonna be posting that all over the GB once it's on youtube. :lol:

The other guy, I forgot his name, not Hubie Brown, is such an annoying Rose homer.

Mike Tirico.

He bandwagons star players in general, but yeah, he was all over Rose's dick in the playoffs last year.

Yeah its not like other teams clown on us on their board all the time or anything.

Plus its extra annoying with Knicks fans all around you down here, its like a roach infestation that you can't get rid of.

You beat the celtics by two at MSG, without Paul pierce and with Joey Crawford handing you the game with those bs techs and that last foul call on melo. Color me unimpressed. If pierce is playing its an easy win for the celts.

Chicago Bulls getting ass kicked.

yeah NY win by 2 against C's with no Truth. analysts made it out to be some kind of classic. Truth plays and C's win comfortably.

What a wonderful Christmas, Knicks barely beat Boston after all that noise and the Bulls are getting killed by the Lakers. Oh yea'...we also destroyed the Mavs.

I thought rip was the answer?

Looks like Lakers are choking.
