You dont really have to 'teach' defense for someone to know they have to box out their man. These are grown ass men playing ball their whole lives. BOX OUT! No coach has to tell me that.
Don't be too hasty:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Al Jefferson thinks he's finally figured out the NBA game.

"Hey, it's taken me eight years to realize that if I pass the ball outside and guys hit open shots, it helps free me up," Jefferson. "I guess better late than never."
 
Speaking of which, I fully expect Biz to get baptized by Scola tonight.
And that Nets game was just a team going off. The Knicks did worse to Chicago last year twice. Knicks are in the top half of the league in opponent points per game while playing at the fastest pace. That's not horrible.

Going off? The Knicks were just staring at guys. Not once have the Knicks chased a 3 point shooter off the line for 3 consecutive possessions. They beg teams to get hot. Tyson and Jeffries aren't responsible for that - that falls on Fields, Shump (who's an excellent man defender but clearly hasn't learned shit since being in the league), Lin, JR, Baron, and anyone else that is supposed to be out there.

That pace shit goes back to what I was saying years ago in that the Knicks are a fundamentally flawed team.
 
I guess Rose is just nicked up from whenever and whatever and he was held out of practice, not injured during it.

He thinks he will be able to go tonight it says.

Deng looks ready to go for sure though.
 
Rumor on Gasol that I'm hearing is:

Watson/Asik to Utah
Devin Harris and Boozer to Lakers
Blake and Gasol to Bulls


I don't know....

Why in the hell would the bulls give up Watson, Asik and Boozer for Gasol????? Why would the bulls even trade for Gasol????????????? They guy is averaging less then a point more then Boozer and about two rebounds better then boozer. Watson is Derrick's backup when Rose gets a break and asik has proven he is a valuable commodity. There is no way in hell the bulls would even consider such a shitty trade. If the bulls pull anything off like this, worst goddamn trade ever. You are basically getting a boozer in Gasol.
 
Yo you sound like Larry Brown right now.

LB had a team with almost no talent playing the best defense in the league for 2 years.

But even without LB's nonsense, Knicks are broken on a base level. And its on Pringles.

Heh, last night we had a conversation in which most Laker fans wouldn't ever trade Gasol for Boozer in almost any package, including one with Korver, Asik and Watson.

The fact that fans of both teams are hating it means I wouldn't be surprised if it happens now.

Pau doesn't have that playoff loser taint like Boozer
 
When you're a freak athlete that can simply throw someone off out of your way or jump 2 feet higher than them for the majority of your playing career, boxing out has almost no meaning to you.

Blame AAU. That shit is the reason why damn near every US born point guard thinks that Marbury #s make you a don and why most bigs think they're SFs.

They never really put on weight to bang, so they shoot jumpers.

Noah and Bynum, are really the only two guys to put on serious weight since getting into the NBA.* Bynum especially. Preps really gotta ask about Andrew's diet.

*Obviously not, but just off the top of my head.

Unless paxon and his minions are on crack there is no way this scenario is happening. The point of this is to make your team better when in reality Watson leaving alone would diminish a lot of what the bench crew brings to the bulls.
 
On his worst day, Pau is better than Boozer. Dude finishes at the rim like a WNBA player and can't even run a pick and roll right most nights... If it weren't for Amare, Boozer would be getting thrown under the bus for his defense too.
But he couldn't fix the Knicks. And that's my whole point.

LB ruins franchises and its obvious that the personnel during that stint was... not want LB wanted to begin with. He's like a kid when it comes to getting the players that he wants.

The Bobcats were a fundamentally broken team on offense as soon as he walked through the door as well. There's a difference between almost entirely one dimensional and flat out broken.

SVG is still a better bet than Mike F'n Woodson.
 

Magic trade Dwight for Melo and I will rage so hard. Throwing in Ryno on top of that and I will literally punch a hole in my wall. Otis isn't this stupid though, unlike Knicks fans who think this is somehow a fair trade.

Who the hell said anything about fair?

I just want carmelo and Pringles to not be here anymore.
 
Asik is a pretty good lower-tier player, but i think Gasol could do a lot for Chicago that Boozer can't...like hit a 2 foot shot. I'm still interested in all the Magic rumors, they should have gotten monte whether dwight would commit or not.

It's fairer than... nothing. And even fairer still than Brook Lopez.
 
I think it shows how amazing Lebron is. Taking the embarrassment of a Cav's franchise to the finals with nobodies, while Amare and Carmelo are struggling to even make the fucking playoffs.
 
I said it last weekend. Time to go after the magic center.

This cunt Melo dares to cry about the team not trusting him when he's played like shit. And still hasn't been benched. If that doesn't show trust then I don't know what does. He hasn't brought anything in any facet of the game. And now begs for a fucking trade. I would wait outside this cocksuckers apartment and knife him if he still didn't have some trade value. He's lucky that he can get us something good in return.

Fucking fat, sloppy looking cunt on the court and cries for a trade.

BRING ON THE HOWARD! PUNT THE CUNT MELO TO THE CURB!

My thoughts in a post:

Magic are way too inconsistent. And they have no heart.
Bulls NEED to pull that Pau deal if they're only dropping Watson, Boozer, and Asik.
Knicks need to trade D'antoni. He's on the trading block.

I'm laughing at all these Pau trades to Chicago. Pure fantasy.

You have no assets, we ain't giving up Pau for trash. Literally no upgrades in that deal.

Yeah, isn't their TV deals worth about $2billion over a number of years?
I don't get it.

Try 4-5B.

But, um, how much are the Lakers – all by themselves – getting from Time Warner Cable for its new regional sports networks?

$5 billion.

I'd add a "Cha-ching!" sound effect, but no one is fitting $5 billion in any cash register.

That $5 billion is over 25 years – or it'll be merely $4 billion over 20 years if the future option isn't exercised. It has been widely and wrongly reported as less.
Let's pause and appreciate how much money one club, starting next season, will get per year all to itself just from local TV: $200 million ... when Forbes values the entire Milwaukee Bucks franchise at $258 million.

Still funny that small-market teams simply felt entitled to LA's money when they couldn't build shit.

You mean the same Gasol that most Lakers fans here were cursing out last playoffs for being the ultimate bitch???

Not sure you have the right to be TOO choosy for Gasol.

I mean, maybe not any of those deals mentioned here but now all of a sudden, Pau is great!!!!!(always thought he was a good player myself mind you)
 
So I'm reading Berman's article and it says Melo came back and disrupted the offense and ignores Lin on the court. Melo doesn't want to play on the wing he wants to post up every damn play. So because of that we don't have the spacing to work the pick and roll effectively. And the team suffers for it. I've noticed this, but thought it was D'Antoni's doing. Turns out Melo is just truly a cunt.

Welcome!

Nice piece by Howard Beck of the NYT on cuntmelo that basically rounds up everything we already know about that hot sack of compost. Knicks are a better team when he isn't playing.

Will they win a title with out him? Nope. Will they win a title with him? Absolutely not.

PUNT THE CUNT. PUNT THE CUNT. PUNT THE CUNT.

Bad playoffs, sure, he sucked.

But we actually do have the right to be choosy for him. He's still a better 4 than most, and you can run an offense through him.

Boozer is trash, and the others aren't worth it. Fuck outta here with that shit.
 
So do the magic give a fuck about Howard's request to stay with the team through the rest of the season after all of this drama he put them through??
 
Ugh, ESPN has their clowns pushing the "entire team against Pringles" agenda when its completely obvious that it's just Melo. Broussard is the worst.

Amare and Tyson have been taking shots at him with quotes "everyone needing to get on board" the entire year when asked about what's wrong with the team.
