They have no problem paying the luxury tax, and the mid level exception can give you a nice player. The Knicks are the team at the top of the list for both CPIII and Dwight Howard. Sign and trade Howard and they won't have a problem. If Orlando is smart they will trade him next year before he can go free. Go mavs?
 
almost three first round upset games in one day! the spurs was no suprise and the C's i thought could lose(tho they didnt)

BUT LA!!! come on play some defence, theyve lost the spark, gasol is in a funk. kobe may have to carry them through the first round.

The Hornets are also really underrated this season. Probably the toughest team any top 3 seed has to play in this first round.
 
Just finished the LA/NO game. Paula Gasoft FTL.

CP3 was abusing Fish and our perimeter D isn't great but our bigs have to do a better job of packing the paint and cutting off his penetration. Andrew is doing his thing, Pau and LO need to step it up. It's all effort stuff, and the Hornets just wanted it more.
 
The Heat are going in for the kill in these playoffs. They haven't played this aggressively all season long. I knew that Pat Riley strategy would kick in. He never shows his full hand till the postseason comes around.
 
yeah the heat really seem to have found there step at the perfect time. tbh I have no clue why there were extended stretches during the regular season where jones didnt get much playing time. he really helps that teams dynamic more than most or spolstra realize

dont forget tho, phili struggled to be a 500 team, put them in the west with their record and they would not have made the playoffs,

tonght has been very impressive though.

as far as LA/HOR , another factor in play is that cp3's knee bothered him much of the season it could be hes finally at 100%. but still theres no reason why a bigger stronger lakers team should lose to them at that score, especially when kobe goes for 40 on over 50% shooting. gasol/bynum were a let down and the bench is depleted with blake sick

my hornets looked good beatin up on the lakers.. i sure hope we knock them off.. which is still a longshot i know... but we did take one away from them at home.. and our bench players/role players seem to be steppin up.. chris paul might have went into beast mode... jack is a nice change of pace when hes out there we didnt shoot free throws good tho we need to improve on that but we did tie a nba play off record for less turn overs we only had 3 ... so at worse im hoping we atleast make this series competitive but i really hope we take this shit to they muthafuckin asses
 
the NY/BOS game has been un-funcking-believable

carmelo is single handedly beating the celtics. I thought the knicks chances for this one went out the window with stat out with back spasms but holy fuck carmelo is literally putting on a hell of a show

He's such overrated garbage. He single completely blew Game 1.

This game was pretty good, I don't know wtf Jeffries did at the end.
 
over rated garbage wouldnt drop 42 on champion quality defensive team.

knicks nearly won that game with both billups and amare out. its a special kind of player that can do that over a team in the playoffs.
he was worth the trade most definetily. the knicks just need a few more pieces. like a center for starters

Your going to deny Carmello blew game 1...his stupid foul on the inbound that gave up possession with a minute or so left and then taking at shot at the end of the game from about 30 feet. 5 for 18 in Game 1. Definitely not a superstar FG%.

It seemed like he was pretty much the only one shooting on the Knicks after Amare got out so 42 isn't that impressive.
 
42 not that impressive? Come on now. There are about 400 players in the NBA and maybe 10 of them have ever scored 40+ in the playoffs and that's not impressive? Then to have 17 rebounds on top of that! How many SF have ever gotten 17 rebounds let alone with 42 points and near single-handedly kept a team of scrubs in the game against a team like BOSTON?

I didn't see game 1 but to say Carmelo's performance tonight wasn't impressive is just delusional.

I dont think he "blew" game one. there were a few fouls that didnt get called that the C's committed to. its all relative. do i think he played like garbage in game one? yes, but youre acting as if great players cant play bad. now if he had that same game again tonight then it would be a different story, but he didnt. he did the opposite and had a prolific game. thats what great players do they respond. how many players out there have you seen drop 42 and 17 on the boston celtics.... not many. had douglas just took that shot at the end instead of trying to pass, melo's game would have went down as one of the great legendary performances in the playoffs.

thats not overrated garbage, sorry man

he nearly beat a champion pedigree team with NO ONE, I can think of only a few players capable of that and only one that could acctually accomplish it

Dirk is awesome. Averaging 26 points and 11 rebounds in his playoff career. Only four players have had over 25 and 10. Fairly clutch. I don't know how he gets a bad rap for not being clutch, but he is among the best every year in FG made and FG% in final 2 minutes, 90 seconds, 48 seconds and yes final 24 seconds. Only people better this year were D Wade and Melo if I'm not mistaken. I love Dirk.

As for the Knicks, I honestly think they would be up 2-0 if they had Billups healthy. I think Amare isn't as big a difference as chauncy would be in the playoffs. Billups is a great leader in the post season. Melo has been playing as what he truly is, the best player in the game. If he isn't being lazy and turns just a bit of attention to defense, he is the best player in the game.

He played well in game 2, but it really wasn't some classic performance. I realize he didn't have any support but in game 1 he had the support and chose to ignore it often. He wanted to keep throwing up bricks instead of dishing it to Amare.

in the game as in...the NBA???? are you kidding me? really...

Already acknowledging that he sucks on defense there are so many better offensive players than Melo. D Rose, Durant, Rondo...ect ect ect.
 
^ lol.

What strategy? Did they implement any new sets into their offense that I'm missing? Cause all I see is the same basic shit I saw in the regular season. ISO, PnR, PnP, etc...

Spo is still not using Wade/James like he should be. It'll work against shitty teams like the Sixers, but it's gonna get shut down by elite teams like Boston/LA.
