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.

Durant is the only player you could make an argument for as a better offensive player. As a pure scorer, Melo is far better. Imagine if Allen Iverson were built as an NFL linebacker. That is Melo. And if you read what I said, I added the stipulation of if he plays defense. He is capable of playing defense and playing at an elite level as he shows from time to time, but he doesn't do it consistently.
 
melo is most definetily not the best in the game but hes easily in that top 5 group.

seriously though kostner what more would constitute a classic nba performance than having a team thats an underdog already lose 2 out of its top 3 players to have a guy blow up for 42:17:6 and single handedly beat a team that went to the finals last year. thats one for ESPN classics brah

that being said they lost by a bucket so it will go down as just a great game and nothing more.
 
the lakers are gonna lose 4-0 in this series i think,hornets are on fire at the mo

imagine the odds at the bookmakers for that!! id be a millionaire if i put big money down!

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.

They do pretty much the same thing on offense, but it is that defensive intensity that I'm talking about. Ever season Pat Riley has had a championship caliber team here, the Heat basically float through the regular season, beating many but losing to the elites, until the playoffs come around. He saves his bag of tricks for the playoffs. I saw the same exact thing from 2005-2007, when Shaq was here.

I don't know why you are claiming Boston is elite anymore. They were before they traded Perks. Now they are pretty much average, and I think the Heat get by them in 5.

They are a great example, however, of a team that does not hold anything back in the offseason. They basically won their third game against the Heat in the regular season this year by opening up the trick bag (elbowing motherfuckers in the head while the refs aren't looking, playing "Rondo the house fly" and doing everything else that they should have saved for the playoffs. I'm not whining about it, to be clear, but while watching that game I thought to myself "why the fuck are they doing this in a meaningless regular season game?" They could have saved that shit for the playoffs and stolen a game or two from us for sure, instead they prepared us for their strategy and how to counter it.

Pat Riley don't play that shit. Playoffs are everything to him and Spo.

Given how dirty Garnett played against us, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Juwan Howard vs. Kevin Garnett all out brawl occur some time in the second round. It would be orchestrated to get one of our more expendable players to play on Garnetts anger issues enough to get him booted for a game or two.

ive been watchin nba since larry bird,magic,moses etc. more than likely you been watching since blake griffin and john wall

about the hornets-lakers series,it was a joke....its obviously a bit hard for some to get sarcasim through text
 
Seriously?

Really?

Are you really going to tell me I don't grasp sarcasm after my post to you was beyond dripping with it?

To be truthful - when Magic, Bird and Moses entered the NBA, the Y-chromosome my dad bequeathed me wasn't even swimming in his sack yet but I've been watching since the Bulls' second championship in their first 3-peat (I was 8 then).

Let's drop the pretense and whip it out though already.

na i rather not whip nothin out ha

seriously tho ya missed the best time to be a basketball fan, the 80's was the golden age for the nba
 
Oh he was there for some of that. Just like I was there for my Cowboys dynasty run. Problem is we either don't remember it or didn't care back then.

I hope and pray the Hornets take LA down. It would make it almost impossible for the Mavericks or Spurs not to get to the Finals. I want a ring for the Mavericks so bad I can taste it. I would have sex with Dirk. Maybe not. Probably hurt too bad.
 
Lakers win despite Paula Gasoft with another shit game on both ends of the floor, and Kobe only scoring 11 points. Andrew and LO stepped up!









An MRI on Chauncey Billups' left knee confirmed a strained tendon. He is listed as questionable for Friday.

An MRI on @Amareisreal's back confirmed a pulled muscle. He is listed as day-to-day.




Grats to K-Love for winning MIP.

i hope yall are watching the bulls..we have the best team but i got a feeling next year we will be even better

Drose is only 22..the league is so fucked think about when he hits like 29 and how good he will be
 
World is coming to an end. Dallas lost. It's golden state/Denver/San Antonio/9-11/everything all over again. Referees called a shit game. Ahhhh! I'm / slash wrists!


I'm joking. My a Mavericks fan. We are winning the world series/finals and superbowl. All this year. Need more drugs now :(

Please no one take ^ this seriously. I'm purposely over exaggerating all emotions. Except the drug one. Oh and that was a god damn three. Officials are gay. Dallas in 5.

last night they played the 4th quarter without a point guard, and it was the only quarter they won. Lineup: Wade, James Jones, Lebron, Bosh and Joel Anthony. I haven't seen them play without the point this season. Maybe that was a new wrinkle? It was the only thing that worked...

does anyone know how to look up +/- playoff stats for all teams? I have a feeling Joel Anthony is near the top of the list. Maybe James Jones too?

Look out for Haslem in round 2.
