The Official NBA Regular Season 07-08 Thread

[Spellmen]

Wow, Dwight Howard having a beast of a game so far 39 points, 15 reb, 4 blocks on 12/17 from the field and more impressively 15/20 from the line. Really nice to see him improve there since he was pretty bad last year

[kidcolin]

he's shooting 60% this year

[Semtex]

i didn't watch the cavs game, but from the highlights didn't the foul on lebron (that injured him) look like a clean block? whether it was or not it was close but i love how the sportscenter guys were trying to insinuate it was some kind of dirty foul, just cause its lebron vs the pistons.

I think the Pacers are due for a 20 game losing streak.

Just going to bump this section, because Pacers are on a much expected losing streak

And we're back up to 8-8 now against one of the toughest schedules in the league so far. I'm starting to hope this team can contend for a 6-8 seed all year long just by being one of those scrappy teams that out-hustles everyone.

We just have to wait and see how Jermaine O'Neal can play in this system because we've played by far our worst basketball when he was in the lineup. So far we're 5-1 when he didn't play, 3-3 when he got under 30 minutes and 0-4 when he got over 30 minutes.

Dont ask why, but I've seen 4 pacers games thus far this season, and I think Jim O'Brien should be the frontrunner for coach of the year. His team night in and out is under talented, less athletic, but they've been playing TEAM basketball and he's been getting alot of production out of scrubs like Dunleavy and Tinsley.

Also, of all those predictions, looks like this was the one (this far) I've been wrong about

[BobboFitos]

About JoN, I think the games he's played he's been hurt, or at least just not himself. Looks sluggish, anguished, and ished. (needed a 3rd adjective and couldnt think of one...) Im not ready to hop on the Pacers bandwagon (in fact, I really dislike their team and wont ever jump on it...) but if they continue to play at the rate they have been playing, i dont want my celtics seeing them in the first round

[Vyse]

lol tinsley is horrible, where is his production?

i also don't know how you can give credit to players' performance to coaches. dunleavy long needed a change of scenery.

fact is pacers still don't have a SG.

Celtics would sweep them by like a average victory margin of 12+

NO KIDDING CELTICS WOULD SWEEP THEM YOU HAVE BRILLIANT INSIGHT VYSE

tinsley is horrible, no kidding, the point is this year he's putting up 13.8 pts, 8.3 asts, 4.5 reb, 1.6 steals per game, which is very good. i do attribute that in large part to the coach and the system

pacers dont have alot of positions, in fact id say outside of granger (and sometimes JoN) they dont have any quality NBA players

[Vyse]

"i dont want my celtics seeing them in the first round"

"NO KIDDING CELTICS WOULD SWEEP THEM YOU HAVE BRILLIANT INSIGHT VYSE"

dude, why are you posting.

dude, this isn't fantasy. he's shooting 38% from the field and TWENTY SIX PERCENT from three, which means 13.5 FGA for 13.8 points, LMAO. toss in 3.6 to, which leads to a 15.5 PER, and frankly i'm surprised it's that high.
