Around SBN: NFL Week One: Previews and Predictions for all 15 games

Tuesday.12.22.09 Loser Thread




Good evening all! We've got lots of NBA action tonight!  9 games in total, and as I mistakenly posted earlier (and have since edited) it is Fan Night on NBA-TV. I know you'll all be stunned, make sure you're sitting down- yes, it's true, the Lakers are on NBA-TV tonight. (Have the Spurs EVER won fan night? When they aren't playing the Lakers, I mean...)

I recommend the ESPN gamecast, or any feeds that anyone can find (but you can't post them here!). There are always our local affiliates, for any of us spread across the country. Tonight's schedule is as follows:

Philadelphia at Washington

Detroit at Charlotte

Indiana at Boston

Chicago at NY Knicks

Atlanta at Minnesota

Golden State at Memphis

Portland at Dallas

LA Clippers at Houston

Oklahoma City at LA Lakers

There's lots of Western Conference action tonight. The Mavs, Rockets and Lakers all play. Let's hope the Mavs will tire the Blazers out for tomorrow night? As always, who loses big?

Psh. No sorrow felt on this end! Any team that blows a 35 point lead over 2 quarters deserves to lose! :-)

The trick for loser threads is for Lauri to start them.

It’s not your fault, it’s the reverse sexism that’s slowly enveloping PTR.

Just the fact that you mentioned Lauri got this going a little…

Pacers and Celtics in a dogfight

Celtics are having a hard time with the Granger-less Pacers? What a bunch of suck.

No decent team with championship aspirations should ever be in a close game against a Granger-less Pacer team.

And the Bulls are mounting a bit of a comeback of their own tonight.

Only down 6 with 4:34 in the 4th now…

I think Rose had an injury, dint he? I know Tyrus Thomas has been out awhile, but I know he connot be the sole reason they are losing. I must blame lasiness and contentness.

by Ed (dfjmed) on Dec 22, 2009 8:33 PM CST up reply actions  

Yea, Tyrus has only played in 4 games so far. He has decent Big man stats. But still , Joakim Noah is playing so well….

I’ve never been a fan of Noah, but he’s having a fantastic year. Early reports have him for Most Improved Player.

Has Nate Robinson had 9 DNP-CD’s in a row???

Crazy. I wonder where hes going to be traded to

Could be a buyout, for which apparently he’s interested in pulling a Marbury and heading to Boston.

by Ed (dfjmed) on Dec 22, 2009 8:37 PM CST up reply actions  

The phrase “pulling a Marbury” has so much baggage attached to it now, that I must say I appreciate the additional description of what you meant, seeing as you also could have bee saying that Robinson was:

about to down some Vaseline.
going to get a head tattoo.
thinking of exposing himself to ridicule via a series of webcasts.
setting out to exile himself from the NBA ranks.

At work today I got into a mild friendly debate with a few co-workers on greatest PF pf all time. Of course I stood pat on Duncan. Other names thrown in the mix were KG and Karl Malone. I agreed, both geat players, but just have not done what Tim has. And I question their clutchness.

by Ed (dfjmed) on Dec 22, 2009 9:12 PM CST reply actions  

KG doesn’t come close. Malone, maybe. But Duncan trumps everything he did, except scoring (I’m not sure; too lazy to research).

by theonlyromeo on Dec 22, 2009 9:25 PM CST up reply actions  

Duncan does not score more than Malone did. Malone’s #2 all time, I believe.

I don’t believe that there’s anything that any great PF has done, with the exception of actually winning the DPOY award (of which Duncan has made the All-Defense team how many years running now? Try every year?) that Tim has not done atleast twice. He will exit the NBA as one of it’s most decorated players of all time.

by Ed (dfjmed) on Dec 22, 2009 9:32 PM CST up reply actions  

That’s what I thought.

Its funny because all that really matters in this game is winning.

How many people would consider Michael Jordan the greatest of all time if he had no titles? Not very many people…

Heh, I don’t even want to defend Tim. His resume speaks for itself.

So Pryzbilla got injured in the game against the Mavs, I don’t think he’ll play against us tomorrow.

The Trailmix are missing half their godamn team and still beat the ponies…..

About the only thing that Portland has going for them is that neither of their superstars has been injured.
