Haha, they compared the new-look Clips to "Semi-Pro."
I don't think they give OKC enough credit. I think it's disturbing that they see Miami as a playoff team and are probably right about it. I think they give the Raptors way too much credit. Also, it seems like half the teams are going to be pretty awful this season. Denver, Golden State, and Atlanta are 3 playoff teams that totally sucked it in the offseason. Philly and Portland might be dramatically better than last year, but for the most part it just seems like the teams that didn't get worse just got older.
That said, it's way too early for this shit. Shame on you, ESPN.
Really? Are you convinced that Johan Petro, Mickael Gelabele, or Mouhamed Sene are suddenly going to become all stars? Or will Russell Westbrook, a second string college Point Guard shoot them to the top?Originally Posted by funnyclown
This may be just a little bit of bitter ex-Seattle bitterness talking, but this team is going nowhere but straight to hell.
Guys college football is going on right now!!! It looks lit VT is pissing this game down their leg.
i am pissed that espn2 is showed (the previously scheduled, to their credit) syracuse/northwestern in hd and pushed the lsu/app. state game to standard def. on espn classic. especially since they were planning to broadcast the lsu game in hd on espn during it's originally scheduled time.
as a neutral party, i want to say that OKC will be lucky to win 20 games this season, especially in the west. their roster is awful. 10 wins is not out of the question with that team.
Bad sports writing is a dime a dozen these day, but I say with no hyperbole that Jay Marriotti was at the very least one of the Top 10 worst sportswriters in history. Now his vitriol has finally left the back pages of my newspaper.
Long story short: Marrioti said in a TV interview that he left the Chicago Sun-Times because the newspaper business is dead (a business that recently signed him to a contract worth 6 million) but the apparent reason he quit is because a rival/colleague of his got to write a Obama piece he wanted to write and he stamped his way out of there.
The Sun Times and it's readers responded as such:
Even Roger Ebert is letting him have it: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/...TARY/808289997
But the main reason I'm posting about this hear is because I suspect that a Chicago ASTer is behind the nugget in this feedback column: http://www.suntimes.com/news/comment...reax28.article
This one's for you, JaySnoopy Dance!
jay mariotti, woody paige, bob ryan, skip bayless, and stephen a. smith are the reasons i don't watch anything on espn except sportscenter and pardon the interruption any more. i loathe everything about them, and i don't think they belong on television. i can't believe people tolerate them.
I'm not saying OKC is going to be good, but I think they'll be better than Sacramento and Memphis, and I think they had an admirable offseason, picking up a bunch of young players and two quality veterans in Joe Smith and Desmond Mason. If Golden State and the Clippers have bad years, I think Oklahoma City could be 9th in the west.
I went to the UCLA/UTK game tonight. That was probably the most exciting sporting event I've attended.
Explain to me how 6th in the East is giving the Raptors way too much credit with the best front court, a point guard who can average a double double while leading the league in assists:turnovers, the most effective 3-point shooter in the game and an x factor in Bargnani?
What was the best concert you've been to?
"Probably Sade. It was just so sexy and relaxing."
How depressed will Lebron be this year?
edit: Furthermore, I predict that this is the year wherein Lebron makes the Vince Carter Leap: where he goes from being the superstar who's obviously self-centered but more fun than annoying, to the superstar who's so obviously immature and vain that he's impossible to like.

OKC is officially The Thunder. It's like Lightning's gay cousin.
(what?)
I don't do a radio show anymore, so stop asking (nobody asked)
that could be a decent name. what kind of team are we talking about here, minor league baseball or arena football? fantasy basketball? nfl blitz franchise? it certainly couldn't be a real professional franchise with a name like that, that'd just be embarrassing to the team, its fans, and the league itself.
All professional sports franchises should have nicknames that end in "s", unless, of course, they are named after the color of socks that the team wears.
This is an awful name, but it's getting harder and harder to name your team after an animal that anyone has heard of -at this rate the league's next franchise is going to be the Cincinnati Titmice(which could work).

That will be the WNBA franchise. The NBA franchise will just be the Mice.

they should have gone with oklahoma city marshalls, i thought that was the best of the rumored names. i guess i should just be thankful they didn't settle on "wind," which i can't believe was even in the running. i hope someone got fired over that suggestion.
