I'm still not buying into Brooklyn being a force in the east. Also, the Pacers and Bulls are both much better than the Knicks. I don't know why you left them out.

I see the east being:
Heat
Pacers
Celtics
Bulls
Sixers
Cavs
Knicks
Nets

No D.Rose, not sure how the Bulls will be. They will games but more than Sixers, NYK, Nets? I dont see that.

Pacers I forgot. Bulls I didnt. And Cavs being in the playoffs let alone 6th seed? How much heroin do you do on a daily basis?

Regular season heroes at this point. I can still see them winning a shitload of games and getting a high ranking, even without Rose, but I don't see them getting far in the playoffs.

I've pretty high on Kyrie, and I'll admit that I MAY be a little too optimistic about their chances. Honestly though, it's mainly just a way to take a swipe at New Yorkers.

I still think the Bulls are a very solid team, even with a battered D Rose (whenever he gets back). It remains to be seen if Bynum can get his head out of his ass and take on a leadership role in Philly.

Bynum's a great player. He will make the team better, but a title contender? Don't know yet.

[GOBB]

Lol @ u think Bynum will lead u anywhere. Ur still in the same class as nets, jazz, and hawks

So Bynum will lead the Sixers further than they have ever been since Allen Iverson? Ok. Not sure whats funny about that. Sixers arent title contenders. Where was that stated besides out of your ass where you enjoy fondling your prostate with a smile?

Same class as Nets? What class are the Nets in exactly. Go wash your hands with your next reply. Smells like \shyt.

[boozehound]

Lol @ u think Bynum will lead u anywhere. Ur still in the same class as nets, jazz, and hawks
might not lead them anywhere, but his numbers will definitely go up as the only real post player they have and a primary offensive weapon. Frankly, howards #s will go down (even though he is clearly the better player) simply due to playing with another big and a ball-dominant guard. Howard has never had another post player like gasol.

The ammount of games you watch him and just:facepalm Good luck though, would be nice if he did something with all that potential...

The rest of the east is just an embarassment....

Bynum leaves and you shyt on him. What a clown. Trolling? Sixers finished behind NYK by 1gm last season. Sixers improved their team getting a dominant big man and added depth. So there is no trolling. NYK will dissapoint right on cue. And dont dare mention how NYK finished late in the season because the Linsanity moved to Houston.

I'll take the immature retard you call Bynum who avg 19-12-2 on 13 shots under Doug Collins coaching where he will be the focal point of the offense (like he was for that stint in LA last season). Enjoy Wonder Woman, the athletic Mutombo.

Cool rant:applause: I actually said Bynum has potential and shows flashes, but over 82 games he will disappoint you. But hey, WTF do I know. Being a Lakers fan I havnt watched the guy play every year, im just a dumb hater:oldlol:

If Bynum played up to his potential he is >>>>> Dwight, ive always said that. But he will sook over the smallest issue and do nothing on the court but sulk.

Also the Knicks had there own internal dramas with Dantoni, injuries etc etc..



That stint when Kobe went down (coachbe) and Bynum had the green light to chuck:facepalm That was horrible. 6-30 type horrible. Enjoy his shitty decision making when he gets doubled...

[NuggetsFan]

It'll be interesting to see how Philly looks. No doubt with Bynum the talent is there. How consistent and healthy he is will be another story. Needs to grow up as well big time and maybe getting out of L.A and getting the pressure of being the "man" or more so than he was on L.A will help him with that. Or make him crumble.

He's got a ways to go. Few months back dude came out and said he wasn't ready to go for a playoff game, showed up late and took himself out of it. In an 82 game season he'll need be ready to go if Philly wants to finish above NY.

[alenleomessi]

how mad are you going to be when bynum sits out 70% of the season and leaves in the summer

[imdaman99]

How mad will you be when Bynum shoots 3 pointers instead of layups? He obviously has a bad attitude, I don't know how all of a sudden he is going to change. Losing Iggy and replacing him with a horrible defender? Good luck winning games on defense again. Oh wait you won't need defense anymore now that you have a guy who will average 25-12 :roll:

[niko]

No. They are not. If they are a contender, so are my Knicks.

Lin didn't play late in the season, so I'm not sure how you have decided the late run was all him. Plus you think he sucks.

You do know motivated and very good Bynum shares a roster spot with moody I'm not really into it today so **** off Bynum?

[fatboy11]

The Knicks have just as good of a chance to earn at top 4 seed as Philadelphia, Indiana and Brooklyn. Just my opinion, though.

Miami and Boston are the only two locks for a top 4 seed in the East.

[D12"Magic"]

These threads are always fun to bump later on in the season

[Optimus Prime]

The East :lol. All irrelevant outside of Miami.

Massive underrating and hating on Bynum here ... yall give true Lakers fans a bad name.:facepalm

Bynum is a beast. He could easily average 20/10+ as "The Man"... if his knees hold up. His "attitude problems" are severely overblown ... yes he makes some dumb decisions and says some ... interesting stuff but come on. It's not like he's shooting up strip clubs or talkin bout practice.:rolleyes:

Bynums also in a contract year so beast mode engaged. Sixers will be better with him but let's be real ... the Least is Miamis to lose.

:kobe:

GoBB's been extra fiesty ever since the trade:roll:

[Da KO King]

I'm not sold on the Sixers, Nets or the Pacers.

Sixers success will depend on Evan Turner progression from last season and the effort that Andrew Bynum puts in. The Nets are better on paper than they will be on the floor, and I think the Pacers getting a 2-1 lead on Miami has people over-rating them.

Knicks are not and will not be world beaters but they are definitely in contention for home court in the first round or two of the playoffs.

He played a month Feb-March, missed April. I didnt say end of season, said late. Him starting I believe took plac around AS weekend which is after the halfway point in the season.

And es I accept your apologies. I just hated the hype.

Ok. Let's get back to the point which is you are WAY WAY overstating the impact Bynum is going to have. Basically you are stating best case as 100% what will happen.

You're never right. So I want to see how mad you are when you are wrong. You type so much stuff that blows up in your face I often wonder "Will he ever stfu?". And well, no you never do. Hilarious.

[GOBB]

Ok. Let's get back to the point which is you are WAY WAY overstating the impact Bynum is going to have. Basically you are stating best case as 100% what will happen.

Bynum impact helps the Sixers because the halfcourt offense of the Sixers was like watching Amare/Melo play together. We call that downright LAUGHABLE. That will happen, only way it doesnt is if Bynum is injured.

You're a NYK fan. Watching your team falter is always there for me to look at if my Sixers struggle. :roll:

Bynum is a horrible defender now?

I gurantee Bynum doesnt shoot 1 3pter thats ill advised. Doug Collins is not Mike Brown. Bynum maturity is a concern. 24yrs old, time to grow up now that he is in a situation he dreamed of (being the man). We shall see.

How about your clumsy Knicks tho? No more Linsanity, moreso Fat Albert Felton running the show. Hey wats Amare latest trick gonna be in the playoffs? Last year punching glass, yeah before hurting back in layup line perfoming an and1 dunk. What a joke you and your beloved NYK are. Always good for laughs even if my team fails.

Nets are better on paper? They all compliment eachother so well. Brook for the post offense, Humphries for the rebounding. Gerald Wallace for the slashing, Joe Johnson for the perimeter.

Deron will be playing with someone other than Lopez who can create his own shot and can also be a decent playmaker. Only thing missing is a post defender.

The bench is nice too.

I expect Miami and Boston to lock up the top two seeds. Philly/Knicks/Nets/Pacers all battling for 3-6 and it all will depend on how well the new additions for each team settle in. Indiana hasn't really made any drastic changes and I feel they may regress slightly this year, but they're definitely in contention for the 3rd spot.

In total, not too mad GOBB. We'll still hand 76ers asses to them this season. :pimp:

Nets defense is really really so so. Lopez is ass, Hump gives effort but his defense is just ok, and your backcourt defensively is good, not great. The nets being really good is no given. This team hasnt really responded to Avery at all.

[Y2Gezee]

I think its going to be a 3 team race in the East with Miami, NYK, Boston.

Miami is a great team, and obvious favorites, but they're not some unbeatable team and they didn't appear to me to be so last year. Lebron was on a mission, and in a field full of comparable teams he gave his team the edge in some tough series (no matter how many games they won, them in the series were tough IMO, much like the 2011 ECF with the Bulls). But depth and size/rebounding are still issues on that team. Still the favs because of Big 3 and they did get better with Ray Allen, but I don't think that's a monumental move.

Boston definitely improved. Adding young big men, but I don't expect them to contribute much when it matters. Courtney Lee, Terry, getting Bradley and Green back are big for their depth and should help with their offensive struggles they faced in playoffs. But they still go only as far as Pierce, Rondo, Garnett take them, and I don't know how well that will work out. Not to mention, I still think they will have big issues rebounding the ball. But should be a top 10 defensive and offensive team. I can see them struggling/cruising at times until the playoffs, which they are built for. Tough when probably your 3 best scorers in Terry,Garnett, Pierce are at that age though, a lot of pressure on Rondo to make plays (great depth though, and should be killer from the 3pt line).

Knicks obviously have the most to prove, and the most kinks to work out. But their moves were strong. People bring attention to the chemistry with Amare and Melo, and I don't think that was the issue at all. They work well together, What they didn't do last season was work well with possibly the worst guard rotation in basketball. They were a totally incomplete team after they gutted their lineup for Melo in 2011, and sacrificed a lot when they basically traded Billups for Chandler. What team was more affected by the lockout and the expectations that there wouldn't be a season than the Knicks? Melo had a couple of offseason surgeries and came in out of shape, Amare's back surgery and poorly rehabbing it with added bulk in his upper body throwing off his jumpshot, and going into the season without a point guard playing Melo at Point Forward without a training camp? Starting the season with a rookie SG at point guard, and 2nd year 2 guard who couldn't shoot with hopes that Baron Davis would come in February and save them, plus no depth? Amare needs playmakers to get him the ball, and for the short time the Knicks had a solid pg rotation with Baron and Lin, Amare played better and more efficient basketball (he also lost weight).

They have a very strong backcourt rotation now with good offense/defense mix. They can remove Melo from the primary playmaker roll, as they have 2 starter quality point guards in Kidd and Felton (who both are great in the pick and roll) who can run the offense and free Melo up to be a scorer, and they can both shoot the ball and push the ball to take advantage of the knicks frontcourt speed. They have the pieces to be very versatile offensively and defensively depending on matchups. They add defense and the most effecient rebounder in Camby to the bench (who would've started for a lot of contenders). They look to be one of the top 5 defensive teams in the league next year, should be better than Celtics and Heat on the boards as well, improved from the 3pt line, and depth that compliments their starting lineup as well as any team's. I think they are reminiscent of how the Bulls built around Rose, except Knicks have better scoring.


I'd say Philly is probably the 4th best roster in the East though, but I think its going to take some time for them to compete. Bynum needs to prove he can be consistent, and he has to lead a pretty young lineup. But they're dangerous

Bynum isn't a superstar but no one else in the EC has a big you can throw it to down low and expect 2 every time. I don't know who on Philly is a leader and Bynum's 'tude is awful but having the only real offensive post threat in your Conference means something. I'd rather have Melo but Philly has improved and I'd rather have the rest of their team than Melo's current suport. Sixers and Knicks are close.

GOBB laying the smack down. :bowdown:

Massive, serious underrating and hating on Bynum going on here. Just...stop. I've watched every Lakers game the past couple of years. If Bynum's knees hold up (which is the only real big if), he will FEAST on the weak LEASTERN conference. :bowdown:

Dude is legit. No defense? Triple double with BLOCKS in the playoffs. 30 rebounds. But hey, according to Knicks, Nets and Celtics fans (all scared), Bynum is a bum and the next coming of The Kandi Man. :banghead: :rolleyes: :facepalm

Come on now. GOBB has every reason to be excited. Bynum is an absolute beast. I will kind of miss him because we drafted him as a kid out of high school (still remember him all getting up in Shaq's grill), but we got Dwight so...enjoy the East, Drew! :pimp:

I wouldn't, because a bad attitude has held a lot of people from reaching their full potential. I'd agree with you if I thought he was going to do whatever Collins told him to but we saw how he disrespected Brown and I don't know why he'll suddenly respect Collins. Not that he'll never mature, I'm just waiting to see proof that he's matured before I predict true greatness.

Ugh...this "bad attitude". He is immature. He shot ONE three...made a dumb comment...did he ever shoot an ill-advised 3 after that? NO :no:

Is he really worse than most of the players in the league? I mean, come on. It's like people just hear something bandied on ESPN and act like it's gospel. The kid is odd and acts out sometimes but he was never openly hostile like many players have been in the past.

Trashing Bynum won't make him eat Garnett's FOOD any less...sorry RMWG. :pimp:

Ugh...this "bad attitude". He is immature. He shot ONE three...made a dumb comment...did he ever shoot an ill-advised 3 after that? NOHe was sitting out of huddles and routinely giving his coach shit. There's been no sign that he stopped being a knucklehead since he's been traded.


Is he really worse than most of the players in the league?Yes, his attitude is worse. Most players that are receiving millions will do what their coach tells them to because they are professionals that knw they have a job to do.

I mean, come on.No.
It's like people just hear something bandied on ESPN and act like it's gospel. The kid is odd and acts out sometimes but he was never openly hostile like many players have been in the past.I didn't say he's a criminal, I said his attitude sucks. And it does.

He could outplay KG because KG is old. His attitude would still suck, he still isn't a leader, and the Celtics will probably finish fairly well ahead of Philly in the standings, which is what I care about re: Celts vs. Sixers anyhow.

[D12"Magic"]

Bynum isn't a superstar but no one else in the EC has a big you can throw it to down low and expect 2 every time. I don't know who on Philly is a leader and Bynum's 'tude is awful but having the only real offensive post threat in your Conference means something. I'd rather have Melo but Philly has improved and I'd rather have the rest of their team than Melo's current suport. Sixers and Knicks are close.
Deron to Lopez? I know hes a poor rebounder and defender but he is still gifted offensively.

[Da KO King]

Nets are better on paper? They all compliment eachother so well. Brook for the post offense, Humphries for the rebounding. Gerald Wallace for the slashing, Joe Johnson for the perimeter.

Deron will be playing with someone other than Lopez who can create his own shot and can also be a decent playmaker. Only thing missing is a post defender.

The bench is nice too.
:confusedshrug: Sorry but I'm not sold. Basically the same team as last season that I was not impressed by at all at any point in time.

It's really not as bad as you make it out to be. I watched EVERY Lakers game last year. Him "getting his Zen on" wasn't nearly as bad as "Practice? Man we talkin' 'bout practice", but people are all acting like Bynum is some sort of hostile malcontent and locker room cancer. He shot ONE stupid three, made a dumb comment after the game, and didn't shoot another one (unless the clock was approaching 0). He did and said some silly things off the court, but nowhere near as bad as what usually happens in pro sports. He's immature and a weird dude.

Love or hate Kobe, do you really think he would accept Bynum acting like a total clown when he's trying to get another ring as the twilight of his career is winding down? Come on.

I think GOBB is right to be super excited about the Sixers this upcoming season. Bynum will beast, though the Kwame and Hawes signings were :wtf: :banghead:

I tend to forget about Lopez easily, sorry. Honestly I can barely recall him or his game. My (somewhat) bad.

[D12"Magic"]

:confusedshrug: Sorry but I'm not sold. Basically the same team as last season that I was not impressed by at all at any point in time.
That same team played the season without Lopez, had a injury riddled team, had Wallace for only 16 games and now added Joe J, Tele, Watson, Evans and moved Brooks to the 6th man position.

D-Will-Wallace-Hump and Lopez never even played 1 game together. basically not the same team as last season.

Anyway, I dont think their will be much of a difference in the Win Column for Philly, Indiana, Knicks and Nets

He's not his coach, not his father. Bynum was acting like an idiot and Bryant didn't stop him. Brown is the one that benched him because discipline is the coach's job. And he wouldn't have to do that if Bynum wasn't being immature. That's really all there is to it.

Are you really being serious here? Come on RMWG...you're better than this. Everyone knows that the Lakers are Kobe's team. Yes, technically, Kobe couldn't bench Bynum or anything like that. But, you think if Kobe went to management and told them to ship his @$$ out, that they wouldn't do it? And I'm talking seriously...not on some silly cell phone rant outside of a mall.

There was a short period when Bynum was acting the fool. It got cleared up fast. If you think that Kobe had NOTHING to do with that, you're being naive. Bynum's not a bad kid, despite all the portrayals by the media and posters here with an agenda. He's just immature and eccentric, but he's still a beast of a basketball player. Well worth the risk for what he brings to a team. We would have been more than happy to keep him if we didn't get Dwight Howard.

I get that you hate the Lakers and Kobe and anything related to them (hence, hating on Bynum), but you're not being rational here. Bynum is a beast with some character flaws. The positives far outweigh the negatives.

Bynum is 7 foot tall and 285 pounds.
Last season he averaged 19/12 and 2 bpg, while playing 35mpg and shooting 56%.
He is an excellent player, and one of the best centres in the world.
His attitude is actually better than Dwight's.
This improves ANY team ANY where SIGNIFICANTLY for reasons that go beyond his excellent numbers.

Whatever you say. The posts are there clearly for all to see. Unless you start deleting them...

Don't get too mad though when Bynum starts tearing up the Celtics, okay? Not saying the Sixers will be better than the Celtics (maybe but not likely), but Bynum's eyes have to be as wide as Eddy Curry's at a buffet table right now. It's dinner time, and Bynum is hungry after being second/third fiddle all these years (and still getting what...19/12 last year, despite all the "issues").

Whats NYK record with Lin starting again? And I never said he sucked.


We had a good record with Lin starting no doubt, I don't know exactly what it was, I posted this in another thread. We went 18-6 once Woodson took over including 12-5 once Lin wen't down... Getting rid of D'antoni played a massive part in our turnaround too.

I think Bynum bolsters the 6ers a lot. I'm really glad we've got Chandler and Camby for the 4 times we'll play you guys.

Like a lot of the reasonable posters here have said, it's Mia, Boston 1, 2, the rest of the seeds are seriously up for grabs between NYK, Philly, Indiana, and to a lesser extent Nets, I'm still not sold on them. Anyone saying we're missing the playoffs is straight up hating.

I've pretty high on Kyrie, and I'll admit that I MAY be a little too optimistic about their chances. Honestly though, it's mainly just a way to take a swipe at New Yorkers.

I still think the Bulls are a very solid team, even with a battered D Rose (whenever he gets back). It remains to be seen if Bynum can get his head out of his ass and take on a leadership role in Philly.

We are better then you. Face it and get over it.:facepalm
Also, your list on page one proved to me that you have never watched basketball in you're life. How stupid can you be? :facepalm At thinking Brooklyn will be an 8th seed.
