Guest Jules Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Yes, I didn't mention Pax's stupid moves in my above post, but he probably has a lot more of them.The worst one might be the coaching hire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The Knicks can be fun to watch. They MAY be the worst good team in the NBA, if you know what I mean, or the best bad team. They are right on that line.And I like the use of Cornershop's "Candyman" in the new commercials featuring Knick-to-be LBJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 McDyess re-signs with the Pistons. I can't believe I had to scroll through 3 pages to find this thread. I would have thought someone would have commented yesterday on Derrick Rose's apple-peeling-in-bed injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That guy was the biggest shitbomb in recent N.Y. sports history, beating out Mo Vaughn by a doink. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Though not a Pistons fan, I've come to appreciate and respect the way that Dumars has built that club. Having said that, I think he's lost his mind.It's still early, but I haven't seen anything yet to change my mind on this one -- Dumars has lost his mind. The Pistons are now 7-9 with Iverson. They'll probably right the ship eventually, but it won't be the same ship it was before. Iverson just isn't the player, or leader, that they needed. This team was far better with Chauncey Billups. Oh ... and so are the Nuggets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Yeah, but the move was made as contract dump to open up some cap space for next off season. I'm sure that Dumars expected the team to be better with Iverson than it is right now, but until we see what he does in the off-season, I have a hard time calling the trade a failure just yet.

Moss Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 100-85 is a high scoring game now? It looks to me like Denver played some defense. That's why Denver is in first place in their division. They are playing some D finally! I loved Iverson but Chauncey brought them to a different level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly one team failed to reach 100 points -- and it was the Grizzlies, which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jakobnicholas Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm late to this thread, but wondered if anyone else is totally annoyed by Kobe Bryant? And not just because he's a wife-cheater. It's no wonder he always scores a lot of points, as he shoots the ball ALL THE TIME. I watched most of the Celtics-Lakers game, and it was comical in the OT. He starts off by shooting 2 long jumpers with Pierce ALL OVER him, and somehow still makes the shots. So he takes 4 more long jumpers later on, with Pierce guarding him even closer....I mean, Bryant had NO reason to even try to shoot....but did. And he bricked all 4. Pass the ball, you hog! Gasol and Odom won that game for the Lakers, not Bryant. The Lakers are gonna be very tough to take down in the playoffs. The Spurs MIGHT have a chance, but they just seem a tad too old. The Celtics and Cavaliers would give the Lakers a good run in the Championship. I'm looking forward to All-Star Weekend. The slam dunk contest is 90 percent stupid, but every year there seems to be 2 or 3 really creative, great dunks. And Charles Barkley will be back in the TNT studio after the break.....which is GREAT news for NBA fans. The guy might be the best studio commentator personality ever.

Gasol and Odom won that game for the Lakers, not Bryant.He doesn't shoot any more than the other top scorers in the game. About 20 attempts per. And he's around 48% I think. Not sure what you're getting at. He's still the best in the world, although LeBron is quickly closing the gap. He also averages 5-6 assists per game. He might be an asshole, "wife cheater", etc., but you can't argue with his basketball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He might be an asshole, "wife cheater", etc., but you can't argue with his basketball. He IS a great player. No doubt. But many times he forces long-jumpers, as if he thinks he's so good he can shoot over anybody. Especially at the end of games. But yeah, many great players do that, and is part of what I DON'T like about the NBA. The college game is so much more of a team game offensively, and more interesting.

But, TO ME, they didn't strike me as cocky, arrogant, whiny, god's gift to humanity that Kobe seems to convey. It must just be me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OK, but Jordan and Bird were every bit the cocky, arrogant, etc players as Kobe. Maybe moreso. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
