NBA Regular Season 2008-09 Thread

Bynum out 8-12 weeks with a torn MCL.

 

If last year was any indication 8-12 weeks means the rest of the regular season and the playoffs.

Yeah, hopefully this time there are no loose bodies involved.

How do you respond to losing your center? By going for 61 points on 19-of-31 shooting and hitting all 20 free throws.

 

Kobe and Pau: 92 points on 31-of-48 shooting, 3-of-6 from three and 27-of-28 free throws.

Rest of team: 34 points on 13-of-36 shooting, 4-of-10 from three and 4-of-8 free throws.

To be fair, they were playing D'Antoni and the Knicks.

HORSE added to All Star weekend. That's pretty awesome.

It's a freaking AWESOME idea. Horse with NBA-level players has the potential to get really creative and fun.

this should be amazing

i finally watched an entire sixers game from start to finish, and they lose on a last-second three by ray allen, when even the announcer is saying during the timeout "pierce is going to drive the ball and either take the shot or kick it out to ray allen." the most obvious situation in history and they leave the #2 three-point shooter of all time wide open. nice job a-holes.

Is "rest of team" a euphemism for Jamal Crawford?

good 1st quarter King James

[SpongeWorthy]

52/10/11 for LeBron at MSG tonight. That's just sick.

[chuckywang]

Think Lebron was inspired by Kobe's performance?

[Guest]

First player since Kareem in 1975 to get a triple-double with 50+ points. That's absurd.

[Magnetic Curses]

To be fair, they were playing D'Antoni and the Knicks.

 

kobe had a very james worthy-esque line. 61 points, 0 rebounds

How is that James Worthy-esque?

They somehow on ESPN are actually trying to debate which game was better Lebron's or Kobe's....I don't care if Kobe scored 61 scoring over 50 points and still getting a triple double is just disgusting Edited February 5, 2009 by rchap24

I think deciding which was "more better" is just semantics when you're talking about those kinds of gaudy numbers.

first half in OKC, the first game between Oden and Durant.... OKC 60, Portland 40. Durant 22 points, 2 boards, 2 assists... Oden 0 points, 2 boards, 2 assists, 2 fouls

[SpongeWorthy]

Somehow I don't think the Blazers envy OKC's position too much.

I think they'd take Durant.

[SpongeWorthy]

They have plenty of capable perimeter players although none are close to Durant's ceiling. If Oden can come close to fulfilling his potential he's a much better fit for the Blazers. Between Roy, Outlaw, Fernandez, Bayless, Batum, Webster, et. al. they already have a glut of combo guard and swingmen types.

im sure if they could do it again, they'd draft durant and deal with it

"As that contest joins dunking and three-point shooting contests as part of TNT’s NBA All-Star Weekend coverage, the as-yet unnamed three contestants — who’ll be overseen by an NBA ref — will play G-E-I-C-O. As in the insurance company that will be the event’s unavoidable sponsor."
