NBA predictions thread 12-13'

[ThaBronxBully]

lol, Joe isn't inconsistent. Joe just struggles with double teams and isolations even though Atlanta used to like it was milk and honey. Joe's very consistent, easily the most consistent Hawk with Horford. Like I said, when it comes to Joe, I realize most of ya'll don't have a clue what you are talking about ever.

Lopez isn't my cup of tea but the man can score and he's consistent at that. His effort on the boards isn't the best but he does box up every play which means a lot especially now that he's playing with plus rebounders.

Hump is good. He can rebound and do what you need a PF to do. He's like David West to me, with less range and more energy.

Nets bench features Chillz, Brooks, Blanche, Watson, and Mirza. That's not a bad bench at all. Especially if they can get something out of Dray Dray like they did today. But there bench is unproven or recently unproven.

We gonna agree to disagree. Anyway, what are your predictions on the 12-13 season?

Miami
Boston
Indy
NY
Philly
Chicago
BK
ATL

Only Secure Spot Is Miami At One, Spots 2-8 Will Shift CONSTANTLY This Year So That's Why Its Hard To Predict

As Far As The West I Dont Care Enough About Them To Predict

Joe's a beast. A top 15 player.

Harden can't stay in front of his man.

There is a reason why he doesn't start. You think if he was that good, he would come off the bench.

Joe had his best year in Atlanta last year

You think BK going to finish 7th and NY going to finish 3rd. Why?

 

[ThaBronxBully]

You think BK going to finish 7th and NY going to finish 3rd. Why?

Cuz I See Another Frustrating Year For Deron Williams Carrying This Team, But They Wont Be So Bad They Miss The Playoffs

And I Have The Knicks Finishing 4th There Not 3rd, 4th Because Miami Is Better Then Everyone, Boston Will Have Another Solid Season Where They Get Better Every Month And Indy Is A SOLID Squad That Already Has Their shyt Together

NY, Philly, Chicago, BK And Atlanta Will Have More Ups And Downs Then Mia, Bos, And Indy, BUT NY Will Be Slightly More Consistent

I Can See BK As High As 5th Cuz Of Philly And Chicagos Inconsistencies But In The End The East Will Pan Out The Way Its SUPPOSED To And BK Wont Be In That Top 3

bron
kobe
durant
westbrook
dwight
cp3
deron
dirk
rondo
blake
wade
bynum
melo
pau
LA

I could keep going but this is ridiculous. Dude been in the league 11 years and only made one All-NBA team

...wouldn't come off the bench. I had a typo.

Your grammar wasn't the issue. The fact that you think Harden comes off the bench because Thabo is better is.

He had his best year last year in Atlanta.

In what? Free throw shooting?

It's hard for me to have faith in Chicago. I think they are a below average team without Rose. Not a fan of Deng. I think he's overrated. Boozer is okay but he's nothing special. Noah does more than what's on the stat sheet but when Rose ain't there, he's such a liability on offense and at times with Rose as well. I seen Hinrich in Atlanta, he sucks.

I think everyone knows Harden is better than Thabo but Thabo wouldn't start over Joe no matter what. Thabo starts because Harden doesn't fit as a starter for them. If he was as good as Joe, he would be a starter no matter what. It's not like he has average BBIQ like Manu.

I'll take Joe over Melo, Pau, and Aldridge but I'll take Bosh over Joe.

Joe had his best year on offense and defense. It wasn't stat-padding either like it was his first year in Atlanta.

 

[Brief Keef]

Sorry but Brooklyn is actually better than Miami but I don't don't think they can win because of Lebron but since I've watched Wade v. Joe. Joe has gotten the best of Wade as many times and Wade's gotten the best of Joe but now Joe can't get doubled nor is he going to be in the iso offense anymore either. Wallace can still defend at a high level. Lopez is a 20ppg player and Hump is a good PF.

Deron
Joe
Crash
Hump
Lopez

v.

Chalmers
Wade
Bron
Battier
Bosh

will be an extremely tough match-up for Miami.

People always talk about how Boston is a bad match-up for Miami but Boston didn't have the talent and still don't in my opinion.

they why the fukk would you even say brooklyn is better (birdman voice) stupid fukk

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Joe Johnson would come off the bench for OKC. Durant and Russy don't need another scorer in that starting lineup. They balance it out with Thabo because of his defense. Look at OKC's bench if Harden was a starter and tell me where would the scoring come from.

Considering What Chicago Lost (Their Entire Bench Mobb) They Might Not Be The Best Team To Argue For But It Really Depends On If They Are Throwing In The Towel And Benching Rose All Year Or Not, If They Hover Around 7-8 By The Time Hes Back They Can Move Up To 6 With Him In The Line Up


The East Is Gonna Be Unpredictable, With ONE Exception

The Miami Heat

And You're Saying The Nets Are Gonna Dead All That??

You Dont Turn 22 Wins Into The Number One Team In The East The Way The Nets Are Currently Constructed, No fukking Way

If You Wanna Say They're A Better Team Then Last Season, Thats Fine

If You Wanna Say They're A Playoff Team, That's Fine Too

If You Wanna Say Top 5 In The East, You Could Bullshyt Your Way Into That Argument

But THE BEST TEAM IN THE EAST?? TOP 3 IN THE NBA ??

Give Me A God Damn Break Breh

It's Weird How Tonight Was The Nets 1st Pre Season Game And Tonight You Made That Prediction

Like Right After Beating The Wizards In Pre Season You JUMPED UP And Yell "Ive Seen All Ive Need To See!! This Team Is The Best Team In The East!! And Better Then The Heat!"

 

[tremonthustler1]

Durant and Russy don't need another scorer in that starting lineup.

Durant and Westbrook are the only scorers in that starting lineup

So much terrible postin in just one thread.....from one poster.

We'll see with Chicago. People overrate what they just saw and not what it is. That's why you see silly Dwight Coward posts and posters saying he's worst than Zo

The Heat look like a very good team. They have the best player.

Pretty much yeah.

Half of those guys didn't even play with each other last year. Joe was a Hawk. Lopez was hurt. Wallace was hurt in NJ. Deron was hurt most of the 2nd half of the season. Most of the starters were scrubs. Their bench was completely different. Jordan Farmar Come on son. This ain't the same team. This is a completely different team.

I wasn't comparing Harden and JJ as players. I actually think the comparison is closer than people from both sides have claimed in here.

How was 11-12 Joe's best year when just about all of his numbers went down across the board from a few years ago? Then to top it off, he played like shyt in the playoffs (again)
