The Official NBA 2011-2012 Thread

I watched the Sixers beat the Lakers last night, and it was quite enjoyable. First regular season NBA game I've watched in probably 8 years.

Something wrong is happening to me.

Yo, the Sixers

Before the season started, Orlando/Chicago/Miami/Atlanta/Lakers/San Antonio/Clippers was called "death row" by our coach since it was a string of great teams. So far, the Sixers are 4/5, only losing to Miami (and beating the Bulls by 16).

<333 We are number 2 in the standings, fuck yeah

Jesus...this Lin kid is for real.

All he does is Lin.

Jeremy for the Lin

This is unreal. This kid is something...

still new to the sport, so dont mind me liking and posting pictures of the heat while i get immersed

This season I realized that when the nba is pretty exciting when you dont watch the lakers, heat, celtics, magic, and all of the other teams with overpaid divas who only care about padding their stats. Yeah, I'm on the knicks and timberwolves bandwagon.

I like how the media calls him Chinese/Taiwanese-American so as not to upset neither China nor Taiwan.

Every single one of my chaiwanese friends is going nuts about this chink. Is he the second coming of Buddha?

I had no idea that EASports games had such great soundtracks.


edit: errr, I meant 2KSports.

lol

Just go back to bandwagoning whichever NFL team you like lately.

it's called following the entire sport. sorry but I'm not obligated to root for the "home team" because I don't have a favorite team in any sport except for college football, and it's only because it's my school.

I should tweet that from my casual sports fan Twitter account.

>Hates large market teams
>Roots for Knicks

I'm rooting for Timberwolves this year

And Spurs, as always

my favorite nba player is gordon hayward

I was almost positive that was shopped. Jesus Christ.

ESPN has released a statement on the headline. It reads:

Last night, ESPN.com’s mobile web site posted an offensive headline referencing Jeremy Lin at 2:30 am ET. The headline was removed at 3:05 am ET. We are conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures and are determining appropriate disciplinary action to ensure this does not happen again. We regret and apologize for this mistake.


mistake? misspelling someone's name is a mistake. calling the first asian-american NBA player a chink can't be anything but intentional.

Amazing

fucking armor how does it chink??

Dude responsible for "Chink in the armor" got fired.

Chalmers

so munch

wow, racism is hilarious!

"he cant see the ball! hey j open ur eyes! smfh"

I laughed a lot

strong 7 point first quarter, portland

edit: 9 points in like 16 minutes lol

I love it when the Spares get beat by nearly 50.

knicks about to style on the heat tonight. can't wait

pretty impressive that they still managed to score 92
and then beat the spurs by 40 the day after
but fuck, we're still pretty bad

P, a r.
