Whatever happened to us getting Howard? I see the Lakers got him now... We (Mavericks) getting anyone good this year? Oh and I'm almost out of weed, deftones86. I'll hit you up soon for more hahaha...

[deftones86]

haha just puttin it out for the world to see that i sell weed. we arent gettin anyone but the Mavs are gonna be alright Mayo Collison Dirk and Brand are gonna be awesome together. they've become a younger faster team.

Dwight's still testing free agency in 2013. So is CP3.

You complain about Mavs but what about my Spurs?? We got shit,nothing,nada to fight this upcoming season.Duncan,Manu and Parker last season together for sure.I would love to see them with 1 more ring but I doubt it : / I might as well put them as my second team since Clippers is back with Billups and the experience of Hill.Not happy to see that moron Odom tough.

[deftones86]

the Spurs are still the 3rd best team and they know how to win in the playoffs.  if the playoffs seed up right i could see them making it to the western conference finals they'll have trouble with OKC and the Clippers i don't think  the Lakers will be a problem for them because Duncan can handle Howard and all they added was Howard and Nash, and Nash is just another year older and Howard isn't that much better than Bynum.  the west is going to be pretty competitive. The Spurs can make one last push.  But i highly doubt they can beat The Bulls or the Heat in the finals. they will run them up and down the court.

[bright lights, big city]

I appreciate you showing confidence in the Bulls. But I don't think they even win their division this season. Their bench is still good, but DRose is basically out for the year, and that's killer. Good news is that there really only 6 or 7 decent teams in the East.

The West is definitely going to intense this year though. Can't wait to see how the Lakers play together.

[There Will Be Blood]

heat will win the east for sure

[bright lights, big city]

oh there will be blood against boston.

[Gee]

Im really looking forward to watch the Spurs play this season, especially with De Colo joining Parker and Diaw, its a good Big French Three right there  If De Colo gains physical power, he has the potential of being a really important player, even after disapointing olympics.

And yeah between the Lakers, OKC, the Spurs and the Heat, its gonna be tight. I do also think that the Bulls are a little out without Rose, so suck it Noah for not coming to the olympics.

Yeah yeah, Im French.

[bright lights, big city]

so suck it Noah for not coming to the olympics.

hey man, he was injured!

remember he was coming off this:

[Gee]

so suck it Noah for not coming to the olympics.

hey man, he was injured!

remember he was coming off this:

Yeah yeah I know that, and damn watching that fall freakin hurts each time. There was this big debate in France whether he was really trying his best to be in the french team for the olympics, and I was actually among the neutral ones. But giving the fact he didnt show up to the medical staff as soon as he could have still makes the whole thing looks suspicious; especially with Rose being out, and hence the Bulls needing him more than ever for the next season. So yeah, its business, he made his own choice and all, but playing for your national team is supposed to be an honor etc. Anyway, you get the picture, frustration, dude.

Its funny I sound really over-patriotic there. Im usually not like that. 

[RoyalDeftonicBoy]

Gets me happy to see some love for my Spurs team and also it surprises me 'cause we are kinda hated. Is it true about the frenchie De Colo? :O I didnt heard or read nothing about it. Laters and I cant wait until the season starts!

[bright lights, big city]

The White Mamba will be missed.

On Trade info,Track Mc Grady trained with the NY Knicks and also trained with my SA Spurs. I think he would be a pretty good addition on my Spurs tough it would concern me that we keep adding old players :/

[deftones86]

T-Mac is done. The spurs need to get younger. Idk how they accomplish that. the Mavs did it in two off seasons. But San Antonio really hasnt ever really been a place free agents want to go.

This asshole must be on crack or meth

[deftones86]

[bright lights, big city]
