NBA OFFSEASON REPORT CARDS: Part I, Part II, Part III.

Grade: A http://www.sheridanhoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/clippers60.jpg http://www.sheridanhoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Grant-Hill-Clippers.jpg Grant Hill, part of a very deep 2012-13 LA Clippers team LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS – I received some well-deserved grief for not believing in them last season, although I said that before they claimed Chauncey Billups and signed Reggie Evans and Kenyon Martin. Regardless, I acknowledge the bad call. They had one malcontent last season, and Mo Williams is outta there. Nick Young didn’t last long either. Jamal Crawford is twice the player as either of those guys, Grant Hill and Lamar Odom are the other big newcomers, we’ve just learned that Billups is ahead of schedule in his recovery from an Achilles injury, and Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are expected to be ready for Opening Night after both underwent offseason surgery. They are in the debate for best 1 through 10 lineup, and they’ll win at least 60 if they stay healthy. More importantly, they have vets who will be playoff performers. DeAndre Jordan, Ronny Turiaf and Ryan Hollins give them 18 fouls to use against Dwight. Full Analysis

I had that doubt. And while Love may not yet be a franchise player, he sure's got the potential to turn into one in the future.

Yeah, feeling you, buddy. No place like OTR!!

Favorite Hip-Hop Remix? There was this sick fast techno-type remix to "Party Up" by DMX. It was dope!! More than 8 mins. Couldn't find it tho'... Post your favorite(s)!

Board's Most Successful* Season? *Season with the highest number of active posters, good topics, quality basketball discussion and the least amount of baiting/trolling/personal attacking.

ONLY 10 OPTIONS, DAMNED!!! WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A 'FAVORITE ...... MOVIE?' POLL, INSTEAD OF WHINING AND COMPLAINING?

Naw.. I prefer: http://i.imgur.com/WA8GK.png

You can't skip those after the 5th sec?!! :o

Favorite Samuel L. Jackson Movie? http://smhttp.14409.nexcesscdn.net/806D5E/wordpress-L/images/samjackson1.jpg 'Die Hard: With a Vengeance' was good but I consider it more of a Bruce Willis movie. So it's a tie between 'Unbreakable' and 'Sphere'. 'Jackie Brown', and 'Coach Carter' get my honorable mention nod.

http://i.imgur.com/PEW5l.png It's a shame that scene's not on YouTube... PS: http://i.imgur.com/4jQiH.png ^ Reminds me of Gasol -- it's funny how his first name (pau) means 'penis' here in Brazil. And there was this CNN reporter - Pedro Pinto.. Portuguese's gotta be one of the most retarded languages ever.

^ It was a coincidence.. really. It won't. Not this time around.

I can assure you I've got no clue what's he talking about. Anyway, saw this massive car accident today.. It looked like someone had spilled buckets of blood on the freeway....

Good ol' ignore function working perfectly well: http://i.imgur.com/kTlJM.png Love this feature.

Tradition.... http://i.imgur.com/k7CIv.png ..that goes back a long time. Happy 34th Birthday, Kobe!!! P.S. I'll never forget how ALCS beat me by 2 mins to make the topic back in 2006... Good old times.

Sick! BTW, I love the 'then & now' / 'through the years' idea (Kobe, LeBron)!! That's gotta be the most good-looking series of banners in OTR/DH history!

Yeah, I did try that a few times.... color > B&W, though.

I thought of that too but something tells me it won't work. So I'ma Jet Li their asses instead!
