NBA Offseason/Labormagedon thread

This year's Linn is two years ago's Chris Duhon, who himself hopes to become next year what Linn was projected to be two years from now last year.

 

[Archbob]

not really, its the first time Lin got some decent minutes.

Betting advice: Are the Clippers worth a punt for the championship at $16?

The championship's so wide open right now it's not funny, but the Clips might be the second-best team in the West right now. What kind of odds are you getting?

vinny del negro

Yes, yes, true. And CP3's body is made of papier-mâché.

$16.00, 16 to 1. Bet $1, get 16 back. Not sure how you guys write odds.

Thinking of putting down a tenner.

 

[Archbob]

Are the heat still at 3:1?

 

[downtown]

Sure, I'd put that down for the Clips. Really, any one of like, 6 teams could win it. If Dwade stays hurt, it's really anybody's game.

Before we start felating ourselves over Lin, the dude also had 8 turnovers...

 

[Arwon]

My betting agency has them at 2.65:1.

 

[Kraznaya]

so it begins (again): chauncey billups rumored to be out for the season with his achilles injury

anyone surprised?

 

[dgfred]

Heard a rumor today... D.Howard for ... wait... wait... wait for it... B.Griffin

 

[Kraznaya]

it'd probably be dho+turk for blake griffin and deandre jordan, and it's not happening

 

[El Justo]

i can't see it happening either.

Lou Williams cut out the lakers heart last night yes, we hate kobe here. he is not a native son. he is italian. his old man is a sixer/philly guy. but not his kid.

 

[dgfred]

I heard Philly fans gave him an ovation for passing Shak on the all-time scoring list.

What kind of ovation I wonder???

 

[El Justo]

i wouldn't call it an ovation it went unannounced in the arena although there was a smattering of applause (probably from poser laker fans). he's really disliked in these parts, mostly for his lack of sentimentality for the area but also the cockiness.

Yeah, no way I'd make that trade if I'm LA.

 

[Azale]

Philly fans dislike Kobe for his cockiness?

 

[Archbob]

Most of the them late in the game, D'antoni played him for 45 minutes. He got exhausted since he's used to not playing at all.

That guy is a horrible coach.

 

[El Justo]

partly for his cockiness but mostly for him disavowing his time in the philly suburbs. AI is mostly loved. there wasn't a chance for him to disavow. so not comparable
