Geez, didn't expect all this from one little comment. I didn't say that the guy in the video deserved to be in the NBA. So.. I don't know where you got that idea. I was just saying, Blake Griffin gets all this praise for how amazing he is.. And I don't think he's that great.

No... no, Blake Griffin is pretty great, I can't agree with you there. Maybe this is just residual bitter tears about LMA getting left out of the ASG? That sounds much more likely.

Do you watch him? He's pretty great.

Did they miss Monday's Magic game?

They didn't miss the Bulls game where he went 4-12 from the line and threw temper tantrums when Asik(or anyone else) put a body on him.

Asik also outrebounded Howard.

Man, he should have left that suit back in the 70's where it belongs...

Knicks need a defensive anchor is what they need. I say they should make a run for Howard when he becomes a FA.... :/

 

[captmcblack]

I feel like as awesome as a Melo/STAT/Howard frontline is, Amare and Dwight would encroach on each other's spacing. Knicks need to get a center whose job specifically is to be a defensive stalwart. We don't need the scoring at all, but 10 rebounds, a block or two and the ability to not get beasted out by Cs (aside from Dwight naturally; he's just too powerful) would be ideal.


Also, Melo <3

 

[Derwind]

I don't know, bigs are hard to come by and A'mare literally can play alongside almost anyone. I mean he was doing pretty well with Shaq on his back in pheonix. And Howard is far more athletic and agile than O'neal...

Spacing might be an issue yes but I can't see any reason why howard couldn't adjust his game. And I mean, its not like Orlando literally hands him the opporotunity to be an offensive threat, the guy cleans up better than most in the nba today.

Though there are obvious flaws in the plan, namely Cap space along with the new CBA rules(which I'm not throughly familiar with yet but I get the gist of it). And well, I wonder how well he'll adjust in a system with two offensive anchors on the team, I mean Turk & Rashard are nice but they're no Melo & A'mare...

Still, it is a fun little thought.

Over the last ten games, Al Jefferson is averaging 28 PPG on 60% shooting, goddamn.


Also, the record everyone knew Jefferson would get. Al became the first player in 14 years to score 30 points without attempting a single free throw or three pointer.

Carlisle calls the Mavs "soft", players take exception

Frustrated after watching his team bungle a 10-point advantage heading into the fourth quarter and then spit up a seven-point lead with 1:13 to go courtesy of multiple errors, Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle pulled no punches, and perhaps even dropped one on his club below the belt.

"Soft," Carlisle said of his team after a disappointing 93-92 loss to a slumping New Orleans Hornets team that kept pushing even without its concussed floor leader, Chris Paul.

"Yeah," the coach reiterated, "soft."

"Who said that?" Jason Terry said, scoffing at the accusation after he had an off night -- rare for him of late -- with 10 points. "I'm not soft, not me. I don't know where that comes from, but we ain't soft. We have to see how he meant soft in that aspect, but I know he wasn't talking to me personally or any of my teammates because I don't think none of these guys are soft."

What chafed Carlisle was a rebounding total that had the Mavs on the wrong end, 44-31, and a devastating 24-11 deficit in the second half that included no offensive boards, meaning no second possessions, not a single tip-in or tip-out. Although Chandler secured 13 rebounds, the other nine who played totaled 18.

erry took exception to the foul call on Jack, who started in place of Paul and finished with 21 points, seven assists and six rebounds.

"I don't know if Jarrett Jack gets that call," Terry said. "We know Kevin Durant does. You know Kobe may get it. But I don't know about Jarrett Jack. That's just my personal opinion. So we've got to live with it, take it on the chin and go ahead and get ready to get this next one."

Where are my god damn smilies?

Eesh family reunions must have been tough.
I remember when I was about 15 I:
-Traded skiing for snowboarding
-Stopped rollerblading and started skateboarding(This was a good move)
-Much to my fathers chagrin I started actively rooting for the 76'ers over L.A.(Though I still love Iverson I came back to the promised land about a year later.)

Now, if Carlisle really had a problem with Kidd and Terry's play, why didn't he bench them? Vets can be held accountable for their play as well, especially during the regular season in a winnable game.

Does a soft player have the balls to assault an exercise bike on national TV? I doubt it.

[RBelong2Us]

When the players can't even see how soft they are, it becomes a problem. Mavs have the talent every year, they just are big pu$$ies.

Knicks facing a team after a bad loss and in a bit of internal turmoil? Knicks need to go in feet first tonight, Toney Douglas needs to take Kidd off the dribble at every opportunity.

David Stern on The Herd: sees Stan Van as "somebody whose team isn't performing, whose star player was suspended, who seems to be fraying."

More Stern on Stan Van: "I would just render a guess that we won't be hearing from him for the rest of the season."

As a magic fan, I'm laughing my ass off at all this.

 

[Omiee]

Im fucking HYPED for this game, i have a couple of friends over to watch the game and its def going to be fun.
I just hope the lakers dont disapoint me and lose this game.
Because you know the miami heat are going to come out wanting to prove a point, we give them a lot of shit about their play but they have 2 of the most talented players in the league right now so you never know how they might take over a game.
I have a lot of confidence in the lakers though, if artest keeps up his play and intensity of the last couple of games, if bynum knows his role in the center and grabs rebounds and blocks shots, if pau is not acting like a bitch, and if kobe is focused we might win this.

That's not over-analyzing, it's not even analyzing. It's just an obvious observation about defense to anyone who isn't Rick Carlisle.
