Looked like Paul Pierce tried to poke Noah in the eye after he'd also just clotheslined Jimmy Butler.    Can't stand Paul Pierce, he just looks like a twat with his shitty little headband. Might jus

The John Terry of basketball.   We're up against the warriors tonight. Will be interesting as they'll make the old boys run a bit more and give our perimeter defence a bit more of a test. Will be in

Nothing I enjoy more than seeing the Lakers suck balls.   The west is loaded. Can't wait for the opener against the Mavs.

Yeah, because Noah is a total angel who never gets mixed up in that kind of stuff.

 

Jo's a stand up guy, he was looking out for his team-mate. All he did was walk over and told Pierce to stop running his mouth at Jimmy. Then Pierce tried to poke him in the eye, the shitbag.Thibs got caught in the crossfire and almost took a shot as well.

Paul Pierce is boss. That poke to the forehead was lame as anything though.

Whoever gets out of the West will probably win, maybe even the Clippers?

No playoffs for the Lakers this year. 9th at best but probably more like 12th or 13th.

Repped anyway, we aren't going to suck balls anywhere near as much this year. However, we do have defensive issues both on the perimeter (Johnson being the only real enforcer out there) and in the middle (where we are very reliant on Hill and Davis putting in a contract year). But we have a lot of skilled guys with something to prove (Boozer is a better fit for this system and will get a lot of looks of Kobe operating in the post), some good young talent (Clarkson is going to raise some eyebrows) and goo value elsewhere (Davis on the vet min is a steal).

 

If we're involved in any drama it will be a race between us and the Suns for 8th, with the Suns wanting to keep us in the lottery as they have our 1st rounder.

We are, we are going to suck balls. Bottom five team team. I think we're playing for Okafor now, Nash out and us not applying for the exception is a clear signal. Nash dead before the side gelled and Clarkson/Kelly/Randle all fit and ready for the league (we all knew he wouldn't last, but would have been nice to see him manage his way through a few games while we settled). Boozer, Johnson and Lin showing their Downing side right out of the gate and Randle... that's a real fucking shame. George and Randle down for the year before we even get going.

 

But still, I think we're in a good spot to rebuild. Lots of expirings, could re-sign Davis for cheap (expecting Hill to go, but if we pick up a stud centre in the draft - assuming we retain - re-signing him and Davis might fit into a good rotation around the Centre and PF spots). We have good youth players, Clarkson is going to be a solid role player, really aggressive, Kelly is very underrated and now has a great opportunity to show it with Randle away and then we have the man himself. Will have to wait and see how he manages his way through rehab, with Worthy and Kobe in his ear he will be getting the right message.

 

Now we just have to not overplay Kobe, will need him bringing this game next year, can't have him chasing pointless victories, just keep him scoring in a sensible rotation. Think we need to chase some depth in the summer, play for Reggie Jackson and maybe Green from GSW, draft a centre and work from there.

 

Anyway, I've had the week off and have been back at the parents' so have been recording as much off BT as possible. Spurs had a horrible night (even taking the B2B rest into account, Leonard has to do better if he wants the max) to the point I turned off because I don't like that Rockets team. But GSW, Memphis and the Blazers have been great fun. The west is fierce this season, hoping Blazers or GSW take advantage of OKC's injury issues. Think it's a year too far for the Spurs, that Mills injury and the schedule issues might leave them in a difficult spot.
