Official NBA 12-13 season thread

Aingw will be fired, paper bags will be worn again, and so on. Boston ain't relevant every decade (celtics hate in me I admit). It isn't LA. Hell it isn't even NY when it comes to alluring free agents as NY, BK, and Phili all have better appeal in their division as destinations. Now they may get value for Rondo as they shop his ass every year, but that is the only way they will be relevant IMO, turning him into picks and tanking hard for years or a franchise guy (but again Paul outright refused to even go there when they offered him to NO) who is locked in and force to be stuck there

HARDEN'S NOT A MAX PLAYER

2 games. Ariza had a good start iirc

I'm planning on quoting that post 81 times this year I figure.

You can argue that Boston will fall off after KG and Pierce retire, that's fine, but you make it sound like it's because there's a flaw with the organization's decision making or some lack of loyalty or something. You've made that argument before, that teams that aren't loyal won't bring in marquee free agents. And it's complete hogshit, and I think you know it. The biggest big market teams will always draw in the biggest names, and under the current CBA as it's structured you won't see too many max unrestricted free agent moves anyway, so your point is mostly moot.

Why would Ainge be fired? He's done a great job as GM of the Celtics, there is no reason for him to be fired.

You say Boston "ain't relevant every decade" but you name the Knicks who've won two titles in their existence. Once again, the Celtics have won a championship every decade except one. You said they have "huge lulls" between their star players but historically they've won a title 5 out of the 6 decades they've existed. Oh yeah, such a huge lull....

Why don't you tell me who's gonna win the next 20-30 championships while you're at it, since you can predict what will happen to the Celtics during that time period.

Boston fans aren't ducking loyal. Ainge will be turned on just like they went the fairweather way of wearing paper bags to games saying fire him. Just like they gave a standing MVP chant to Kobe. They are front runners who magically appeared and flocked when the big 3 came, but had a down attendance and tv ratings when they were mediocre. It will happen to Ainge, he will bite that bullet, and those same "fans" will disappear once KG and Pierce are gone like they had done for years. The only constant Boston has had isn't fan support, good management, or any of that, it is bad ass commentary by that dumbass Tommy

You're a Laker fan. Stop talking.

Your team traded Derek Fisher, by the way. His daughter had eye AIDS and needed to be in a place like Los Angeles (or some horseshit like that) and they still shipped him out so they could get Jordan Hill and Ramon Sessions. Loyalty. LOL.

A Laker fan talking about loyalty when Laker fans are the biggest bandwagoners in the NBA.

If Ainge isn't doing a bad job how will he get turned on? People wore paper bags and wanted Ainge & Doc fired because the Celtics were doing bad at the moment. If the Celtics aren't, why would people want them fired?

 

[SAIYANS]

Lakers have good management and fans its why they are the only billion dollar team in the league. Fans have never not shown up to games, not bought merchandise, not supported them, and they damn sure never would utter MVP to a fucking Celtic

 

[Notorious]

Of course the Celtics lost fan support while they were bad, they were shit for multiple seasons in a row. That happens with pretty much every sports team.

Fans wouldn't show up for Laker games if they went four straight years missing the playoffs or something like that.

 

[PHX]

Half the Laker fans are bandwagon normal fans and bandwagon celebrities minus Jack or Snoop so I don't know about the good fans part.

 

[Showtime]

lol @ PSYCH saying Laker fans are good. Laker fans are awful and their HCA is terrible in games where they don't have the lead. The crowd never gets into it like they do at MSG, TD Gardens, in OKC, etc.

 

[SAIYANS]

And that crowd was the 6th man when it mattered, ame 7 vs Portland and Boston when they were down for instance

Ice Cube.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

Snoop is a terrible fan. Half the time he wears Celtics shit.

 

[Notorious]

Who cares what celebrities are fans?

Majority of the celebrities who go to Laker games only go there to be seen and get their picture taken.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

Orlando's got Larry the Cable Guy, so...You all lose.

 

[Notorious]

The Celtics have Mark Wahlberg and Maria Menounous or however you spell her name.
