EDIT: Nice hard foul on Wade. Maybe worth a flagrant, but you gotta be tough on the Heat like that otherwise they'll start showboating.

What do you tell a heat player with two black eyes?

Spoiler

Nothing! You have already told them twice!

 

[PBY]

Wade!

Chicago straight up schooling Indiana right now.

Rose with a 3-point shot looks fucking scary as hell.

Rose with a .400 3pt shot should scare most of the league.

Does bosh have to shoot a jumper from wherever he catches the ball everytime?

so annoying

defense is nonexistant right now

 

[reilo]

He's shooting 42% on 4 attempts a game. Those are almost Steve Nash numbers. Scary indeed.

what the FUCK?

there's a...fucking hole in his arm!

 

[SamuraiX-]

Rose with a .400 3pt shot should scare most of the league.

Currently at 41.6%.

That's a huge slap in the face to everyone shittin' on his claims of working on his 3-pointer over the summer.

Is it just me or does Wade and Rose have VERY similar games.

The only difference is that Wade's God Mode is stronger and he's aware he can get superstar calls, so he runs into contact more. Whereas Rose still tries to avoid contact.

That is sick. And you'd think Chandler got it worse.

Crappy defense right now and we are getting killed on the boards. At least we are hanging around.

So the only difference is ones a good 3 pt shooter, v.good passer, and avoids contact while getting to the rim, vs very average 3pt shooter, good passer (but looks to pass less) and makes contact drawing the superstar calls?

I'm not so sure they're that similar other than they can both get to the rim at will.

 

[giga]

Wade has 10 FTAs and its not even half time? :lol

I can see what you're saying but I think they score in different ways...and I think wade has a wider variety, obviously since he's been in the league longer

 

[diehard]

3 more, doing his stupid-ass jump into the defender on a three attempt.

 

[SUPREME1]

Fuck that... He treats his players like he owns them.. This is most definitely a reason to hate him

I don't think it is. He's paying Baron $60M+ to be an elite pg. If Baron's lack of discipline or lack of effort is causing him to be something considerably less than elite, Sterling is well within his rights, imo, to call him out on it.

If it was simply due to injury or other factors, I would agree with you, but everyone on this board has said he's mailing it in for a long while now.



That said, Sterling is the scum of the earth for many... many reasons.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Wade single handedly keeping us in the game.

Lebron WTF was that.

basketball iq bro

Let's see how the season ends before we call Rose a good 3 pt shooter. It's only 20 games into the season, I'm pretty sure that average is going to come down.

Their team dynamics dictate certain differences but I think they're very close. I'm sure in a couple of years, Rose will start drawing more contact once he realizes how much easier it allows him to put points on the board.

 

[MiamiWesker]

OMG WADE! :lol

 

[PBY]

WADE WADE WADE WADE

Agreed.

But once Rose is in the league longer, I think the similarities will start to show more.

 

[GremlinFool]

I've been saying that Rose is the next Wade for a while now. Their careers have been pretty much identical so far.

Fire him.. trade him.. But belittling another grown man used to end with a gun fight..

He treats his "young black stock" like slaves.. well paid slaves yes.. but his property.. This is why the talent jets from the Clippers as soon as their rookie contract is up, every time..

Every one of your posts I've read in the past couple of days has been regarding race (blackface cupcakes, nixon, now this). On point, though.

If you made a comment how the Bulls' play-by-play dude can't distinguish between Boozer and Taj Gibson (among others), I would explode.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Bulls drop 27 points in 1st quarter.

Reduced to 6 in the 2nd quarter so far.

Refs are letting them play more and Bulls can't adjust.

 

[PBY]

the girl who does the heat halftime interviews annoys me to no end

arroyo, that was sick

 

[siddx]

that was pretty

 

[The Chosen One]

Hornets it's the 3rd quarter. Please withstand the incoming run.

That looks like a nasty as shit staph infection

i know your half joking, but this game's gonna be close til the end

Yeah, I enjoy that kind of discussion.. and someone needs to police those threads...

Blackface cupcakes were hawt..

If the Bulls play-by-play guy can't tell the difference between Boozer and Taj Jami Gibson (who the fuck names their kid that?) then it is time to look for new work.. it really isn't about race at that point..

 

[Branduil]

Man, the Bucks have a lot of high-talent low-BBIQ-players.

 

[PBY]

I love discussions on race because someone inevitably rushes into the convo and says something that they think is innocuous, but is actually incredibly racist

edit: HOLYYYY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT LEBRON

 

[SamuraiX-]

Good God. Keith Bogans is the most useless player in the NBA.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

That shot was just stupid

 

[ph33nix]

holy shit!

Hayward is having one of the worst seasons of any top ten pick in the history of basketball statistically and I think his stats are kind to him.

Darko played like a grand total of 17 mins his rookie year.

It was like O'Neal on the Trailblazers..

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Darko's legendarily bad PER in his rookie season is way better than Hayward's.

 

[DY_nasty]

Darko's legendarily bad PER in his rookie season is way better than Hayward's.

Larry Brown

And he got no minutes to even figure out how American basketball is played.

Thabeet on the other hand...

 

[TylerD]

David Lee's elbow just ruined my salmon. :C

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Thabeet's rookie season was way better than what Hayward's has been. Hayward's approaching a PER of 2.

 

[PBY]

our defense looks so much better with chalmers/jones in the game imho

Darko hardware, don't hate on HoF!

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Jeremy Evans is ridiculous, he could be the next Shawn Kemp. Sad that the 55th pick is 10x better than 9th pick, but I'll take it. Time to trade Hayward to the Pacers for 4 second round picks.

 

[diehard]

You say some of the most ridiculous things. That is saying a lot on this board.
