During Sunday's game Bosh was playing pretty well getting the ball on the block. Him spotting up from 10-18 feet is a waste of his talent, Haslem can do that.

He looked pretty good playing against the Nets/his brother, and he was getting up for dunks from like a step inside the paint. Didn't look hurt to me...

I've been saying for a year or more now that ESPN loves to build guys up and then rip them to shreds, and that Lebron's career arc would mimic A-Rod in this regard.
Kobe went through is rapist/coach killer/team destroyer/he's getting what he deserves phase in 04/05 and now he's a media darling. Fuck'em.

I agree. Kobe is only marginally better than Kevin Martin.

Spo is an enabler. He has no control over his club right now and he's allowed Bron to take the leash. He doesn't put Bosh in a situation where he can succeed and he isn't an equal opportunist when it comes to his all-stars in late game situations.

confused by his comment. Kobe averaged like 30 points on 55% shooting or something ridiculous in last season WCF.
NO idea, he's not getting as many boards as i'd like to see him get. But he's been playing well when on the floor, and generally has a positive impact on the game. I just don't think the suns liked how he was coming along in the PnR game, so they prefer to use gortat. Or go small with warrick @ 4, frye @5Doomsayer said:

Highly touted coming out of high school.
Seen as a phenom.
Was a fan/media favorite and golden boy his first few years.
Completely oblivious and out of touch with the things they do and say.
Drew criticism from the way they handled free agency.
Joined another star's team.
Yup, sounds about right.
Wade is also like Jeter, right down to the Herpes.

Wade has a knack for putting up big numbers in a loss. It's where my "he doesn't make players better" comments come from, but that's just a lazy explanation for the phenomenon. Basically, Wade playing well doesn't translate to big wins (and hasn't for years), so it doesn't really matter what he does.

Was referring to this comment:
"Grant Hill did a good job of guarding Kobe in the WCF"

Jordan shot like crap in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Kemps, if I remember correctly.
If there's something puzzling about my comment, then quote it. He did do a good job, it's just that Kobe hit some really insane shots in that series with Grant Hill defending as good as he can against him.
Shane Battier was the same way every time he played against Kobe. Sometimes Kobe would shoot like crap, sometimes he'd shoot 80%, but regardless, Shane played good defense. The reason I say 'was' is because Shane Battier is no longer a good defender.

OMG.That's the kind od ESPN coverage I can get behind.
Lebron needs to scarifice his scoring and worry about running the team and leading the defense like Magic did back in the day. Magic wasn't even a great defender, but he still lead the team on that side of the ball. No one ever question whether or not Magic was the leader of the team he just carried himself like one and imposed his will on the flow of the game.

He's supposed to be practicing now.
Bosh is a pretty athletic guy, and despite getting the least attention of the big 3, he's only 64th in the league in dunks on the year.
Here's a list of the PFs with more dunks:
Blake Griffin
LaMarcus Aldridge
Amar'e Stoudemire
Kris Humphries
Serge Ibaka
JJ Hickson
Derrick Favors
Hakim Warrick
Brandon Bass
Shawn Marion
Josh McRoberts
Pau Gasol
Kevin Garnett
Taj Gibson
Ed Davis
Carl Landry
Lamar Odom
Trevor Booker
Marcin Gortat
Darrell Arthur
Yeah, I'd be frustrated if I played with 2 superstars and got less open lanes at the rim than guys coming off the bench around the league.

and people laughed in the off season thread when I said that Bosh would barely have any more impact than a prime Antawn Jamison on this team.

That's more like everywhere but GAF. GAF hates Jordan, because Lakers-Age dominates GAF.

Who wanted a Bynum for Bosh trade? Viakado, perhaps? Can't recall.
Definitely glad that didn't happen.

I have no idea where the Bosh joke is in there but that's what your post recalled.
