Official 2012-13 NBA Regular Season Thread. SPOILERS

Cavs will def be a team to beat in next couple of years, sitting 3rd last there obviously going to get a pick within top 10 hopefully? That being said, kyrie is an absolute superstar, may even win MVP within next couple of years, TT is playing the best he ever has, waiters showing promise , varejao to come back? Can't wait for the future and today's game was unbelievable by Mr 4th quarter ! Kyrie is the coolest! Lol
 
I think it was a bit of fun being over blown. It wasn't like he man handled the guy to get the ball and didnt do a show boating dunk. From what I've read other players say that Caron is one of the nicest guys in the league. I don't see how it's unsportsmanlike. Maybe I'm just blinded by my love for the guy haha.

It's just not the done thing over there. Because there is no percentage like we have over here with the AFL, it is considered bad taste to embarrass a team like that at the end of the game. The Raptors were showing respect by not going for more points and Butler went and did that. I remember back when Gaze was with the Spurs and they were belting someone by 20+ and he put up a corner 3 at the final buzzer. He has spoken about the severe talking to he got for doing it a number of times on SEN and it's something that just isn't done.

I personally don't like what Butler did, but I can see why people would see it from your view and I respect that too, in the grand scheme of this whole wide world...it ain't that big of a deal. :)

Kyrie was absolutely sick in the last quarter today! Scoring 13 points in the final 3:00...will be a massive star!

While it did no harm Butler would have been wiser just to let the clock run down. Got no problem with the Gaze situation though, it is not unsportsmanlike to want to score more points or beat a team by more points. Teams should show some heart and compete up until the last second regardless of the score. Nothing wrong with putting up a 3 a the buzzer to win by a bit more. When you've got a team down you should kick them. It's the elite basketball competition of the world for christs sake...not hugs and kisses in the playground. Get on top of the other team as much as you can and make them remember how you flogged them.
 
TERRIBLE MISSED CALLS in that Pistons Lakers game!!

Foul on the Knight dunk above, foul on the alley by Gasol at the very last play by Pistons with 1.2 left, Earl Clark missing FT's, STEVE NASH missing FT's, wow. Just wow.


And Celtics get another tough win.

THE. TRUTH.
 
Cousins got ejected at half time...this guy is such a douche. Imagine if he actually focussed on the game, played more than a few good games in a row without doing something stupid or just giving up and lived up to his potential.

years ago c webber made a comment about him saying if he can calm down he would be one of the best players in the nba............if only
 
Lakers were hanging around within 10 or 12 of Celtics....... then a massive offensive sequence blew the lead out to 26!
Avery Bradley steal, Green scored then had a block, Pierce 3. Wow.
