hey, at least we arent the bobcats - the other teams thread

[LamarMatic7]

did anyone else watch mark jackson try to single-handedly ruin basketball last night?

How about a rule which would prevent hacking in the first three quarters? I'm not completely against it, I can withstand it happening, per example, three times during a close game in the last minutes, if there's a bad free throw shooter on the floor, but not in the middle of the second quarter. If a player does so during the first three quarters (the blatant holding up at mid-court), it counts as a flagrant foul.

What i can't stand is players getting paid millions to stink it up on the court regularly. That and not being able to ruin every cheerleader i see at halftime.

Superstar calls and no calls are the biggest black eye for the NBA. Its the only part I really can't stand.

but when one superstar shoves another superstar and they are both members of the superfriends, then what?

Its more the travels n double dribbles that I was whinging about. There were about 4 obvious no calls in that match by the NBA's 2 princesses. Somebody as athletic as Lebron should not get any further help from a ref.

This is now the Bobcats Moderator Fantasy Keeper League Discussion Thread

I'm not a moderator, can I talk fantasy too, Oh, wait!

I got 4 trade offers last night.

1 Ibaka for Rubio (the trade sho offered me a year ago in inverse, which I accepted in order to roll the dice on Rubio... not sure if it was a joke or not. Ibaka wouldn't help me nearly as much as Rubio does)

3 versions of Gortat for DJ. 2 were 2 for 1 + pick which I won't accept on principle, final had me swapping a 3rd for a 4th. Almost pulled the trigger this morning, but I don't like Gortat enough.

Anyway, I was only commenting on the fact that once I become interested in your team, they're probably going to start losing. If I become a fan, they're doomed. I'm looking at you, Gilbert Arenas.

You scared me. I have Rubio, Ibaka and DJ in my league. I have Hawes too. And I guess you saw a Bulls preview or something cause I missed Rose for one game.

I was so happy to get Ibaka in 4th round (10 teams, non-keeper) and he is just coasting through games (I have enough to win blocks from the rest of the roster).

hey, at least we arent the kings. what a trainwreck.

[Diop]

was always going to be dangerous when they fired the Coach to keep Cousins.

[LamarMatic7]

hey, at least we aren't the wizards. two good reads on how badly they are doing in D.C.

been seeing some bucks fans talk about jax, complaining about how poorly built their roster is. and to think they gave up the #7 pick to take on jax, WHO HAS BEEN HORRIBLE.

check out his numbers
13.7ppg, 3.6rpg, 3.4apg, 3.6turnovers and an awesome 36.8%fg

bucks fans complaining that jax goes on the road to promote club parties and gets tanked on the road (infamous drunk game comes to mind).

check out his road splits so far this year
11.8ppg, 4.1rpg, 2.9apg, 3.9turnovers and an even more awesome 31.6%fg

fans even took to calling him out on twitter
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1153580

i am so thankful we traded him. cho made a brilliant trade on draftday... even if maggette never plays another minute for us.

The only trade that can rival the "Jackson for Biz" trade as the best trade in franchise history was the 2004 trade that got us moved up from 4th overall pick to 2nd oveall pick (all we had to do was select Predrag Drobnjak in the X-Draft and give the Clippers a 2nd rounder).

I have got to say that I believe that Jackson really liked it here in NC, and that he probably just doesnt give a F8ck about Milwaukee, hell would you want to play for the bucks, If I was stuck in Milwaukee I would party it up at every given chance once I got out of a sinkhole they call a state (PS just about all of the great lake states SUCK)

[penquin11]

I think you should take a bullet for the team, literally. Confront him at the BC and get him locked up forever. You will be a Milwaukee sports hero.

Yeah Milwaukee fans have mad love for Jax... (not that I can blame them)

I first heard him mention a contract extension when he was with us. I don't think it mattered where he was, when he was told No (as we would have) he would have spat it and you would be stuck with permanent drunk Jax.

It was just a brilliant, savvy move trading him when we did.

76ers v Nuggets has been pretty awesome. Andre Miller is dominating, Jrue had a killer behind the back potential game winner, Evan Turner with a great 4th. 76ers kinda remind me of a better, more fun of our playoff squad.

Knicks. Putting that much offense on one team with no thought for defense? They deserve to fall flat on their face, and if they prove me wrong it will be because of their defense, and they'll have to deserve it.

[BigSlam]

Jackson got benched last night (didn't even suit up) because he missed the bus for the teams morning shoot around. He's been a great visitor to them so far.

Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers began visiting there in the late 16th century. Milwaukee is in fact pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."

"Missing the bus for the teams morning shoot around" is actually Algonquin for "where's my contract extension mother f*ckers?".

[Fred Williamson]

I want to see the Thunder fail, just so that people realize how overrated Westbrook is and what a mistake it was to resign him for that contract. Moreover, cocky Thunder fans on the general board kinda piss me off.

Clippers as well. I like CP3 as a player but I'm sick and tired of the primadonna trend in the NBA.

For me it's the Knicks.

They are a poor man's super team (although I do like Melo). I can't stand Amare, dont like Chandler and am not too fond of that rookie (he's just a less talented, less intelligent T.Will with a higher opinion of himself than he deserves IMO).

They are poorly constructed mostly over paid deserving of what is coming to them - which is faiure.

7. lakers (a little less awful now that they arent on top)
8. atlanta (i really dont like joe johnson)
9. toronto (thanks realgm)
10. hornets (they would be #2 if i didnt want them to suck so bad as to land the #1 pick, plus i really like eric gordon and chris paul and shinn are gone)
11. milwaukee (my hate for jax is stronger than my admiration of bogut)
12. detroit (that team really has nobody that i care about or even care to watch, except maybe monroe)
13. orlando (i am kinda rooting for them a little more now that dwight has pissed all over them. last year they would have been top 5.)
14. washington (hard to really root for such a dumb team, but their awfulness makes me not care as much)
15. chicago (i am pretty much indifferent about them, which is rare for such a good team. rose at least isnt a superfriend and i like noah)
16. cleveland (they were last team i could think of, which means they are perfectly ranked in the middle)

19. san antonio (so boring, but i do love manu, so...)

22. pacers (realgm paul george fans brings down the ranking a full 5 spots)
23. thunder (westbrook brings down the ranking a full 5 spots)
24. memphis (needs more zach and less rudy though)
25. denver (they are fun to watch)
26. mavs (as long as dirk is there)
27. rockets (because lowry is my boy)
28. twolves (love and rubio... if they could just get rid of beasley and wes the warriors would be in trouble)

Lakers, nothing would make me happier then to see the mighty Lakers and Kobe Bryant fall flat on their face!!!

C's as well. Would be a great year if both teams struggled to make the playoffs and lost in the first round. Both have serious questions going forward that they must resolve. Boston is in a terrible position right now.
