NBA 2012-13 Season Thread: Asterisks Need Not Apply

Oh, you mean Ron getting suspended, not fouling out. Okay, well yeah I'll admit he could blow a gasket at a moment's notice. But in 3 years it's only happened twice so...::crosses fingers::

Regarding Knicks, they are old and lame. Amar'e is hurt AGAIN and will stay that way. He is declining fast. Melo super overrated.

But they are playing Kidd who was terrible last season (ask NAB). They have Kurt Thomas and Camby who are slow as snails at this point. JR Smith is a knucklehead. Love Chandler, but him, Shump,and Melo aren't enough.

Miami, Boston, Atlanta, Indiana, Chicago, and possibly Philly (with Bynum healthy) are all better. Not buying Brooklyn, though.

IMO, OKC took a big step back. Nuggets pass them up and possibly Clips. Out west is a 6 team race with LAL, LAC, OKC, SAS, Mem, Denver.

Work in progress. Indeed.

I'm excited to watch Lebron continue to prove the dude wrong on everything.

Also the wizards will be better. Maybe even good.

haha.

Well, Lebron won me back over last year. I used to be fan in the original PCF days until he quit on Cleveland vs Boston.

I've always maintained the guy I don't like is Wade. Never have and never will. Plays like a bitch. So glad the new flopping fines will hinder his bitch ability. If my posting history was accessible it would show I have always had more disdain for Wade than anyone else.

I understand that a Lakers vs Heat finals would be hard for most fans to pick sides. Moreso now that Lebron the Heat already won so that factor of hoping they never win is gone. And D12 has obviously been a douche himself.

But I wouldn't count out the Spurs or OKC just yet, either. The Lakers could be great. But they could also be injury prone and tune out Mike Brown. And the bench is still pretty weak. I trust Mike Brown less and less as the days go on.

ALSO I am 100% with you on The Beard being more valuable than Westbrook but I think we are basically alone in this. Which is linsanity when you consider how many touches harden got relative to KD and Westbrook.
