I hate EVERY team in the top half of both conferences. Memphis is supposed to be on this terribly hard schedule to finish the season yet they keep winning. Yet they keep beating the top 4 of each conference. WHY!

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Celoltics are going to ruin my perfect night

Me too. There goes my perfect pick-em. Fuck you Boston :-(

 

[overcast]

I think the Rockets have a better chance of catching the Hornets than the Grizz. So far we are 1-2 against the Hornets but we still play them 1 more time. If we win, I don't know who would get the tiebreaker if we finish with the same record. how does that work?

Doesn't it go to conference record? Or division?

 

[charsace]

Two straight elbow plays. Please fire the offensive genius.

 

[dream]

Cotdamn.

Holy shit@"That's a Boshian night!"

 

[Red Blaster]

Refs have called a foul on like eight straight possessions, this game is unwatchable.





Bass: 30th in PFs in PER
Nelson: 31st in PGs in PER
Turkoglu: 26th in SFs in PER


And they're a lot worse than their PER says they are. It's almost impossible to find teams that those guys start on and they're the next group of guys after Dwight for the Magic.

Every single one of them would start for the Heat.

 

[diehard]

It wasn't really Baby's fault. That whole play fell apart.

The Rondo floater was just fucking retarded though.

BEST PG IN THE GAME

 

[Vyer]

Damn it celtics.

Chuck Hayes is a freakin workhorse. 9 pts 10 reb 7 ast so far.

Martin is also hot. 27 pts so far.

 

[Fatalah]

Can we please win a game? C'mon Knicks.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

is there any doubt big baby has sugar in his tank?

Bosh confirmed this is just a rumor and there's nothing to it.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Every single one of them would start for the Heat.

Only Nelson would and using the Heat as an example is terrible, they've started Joel Anthony.

 

[dream]

BEST PG IN THE GAME

Seeya in the playoffs.

 

[Derwind]

Who could he pass it to? The Grizzlies were all over everyone but Rondo and that would have been the same result.

I'd much rather Rondo taking the last shot and bricking it, then seeing Baby who shouldn't ever try to make the gaming tying shot. :shrug

 

[charsace]

Amare catches the ball with two hands instead of trying to put it back with one? Pigs must be flying.

 

[jjasper]

I think the Rockets have a better chance of catching the Hornets than the Grizz.

I think both teams can and will catch the Hornets.

 

[Pkaz01]

Lets go suns! This is why amare > bosh btw.

 

[pilonv1]

Warriors giving up a triple double to chuck hayes. smh

 

[charsace]

Billups should drive way more than he does.

 

[The Frankman]

Billups may be our best chance to win. Amar'e struggling and I have a bad feeling the Carmelo offensive foul call is coming.

EDIT: The outside official calls a bullcrap foul on Amar'e. GREAT.

 

[charsace]

Good defense called a foul.

Carmelo doesn't get calls anymore.

 

[Pkaz01]

Wow thats such a fail lopez nash made such a pretty pass. Damn shame.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Hayward learned how to pump-fake! His stats are so bad, but he's so good, can't judge him by his box scores.

Says the guy who uses advanced stats to judge every player.

smh

 

[Red Blaster]

Says the guy who uses advanced stats to judge every player.

smh

He's the best troll in NBA-Age

 

[The Frankman]

I still don't understand why they are sending the guy in Dwight's vision to double. Double from the blindside at least.

Billups ugh...

 

[Pkaz01]

Wtf is billups doing out there?

 

[Zep]

wtf is billups doing

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Says the guy who uses advanced stats to judge every player.

smh

I use advanced stats when they reflect what I see. AK47 has put up ridiculous advanced metrics this season somehow, but has played some absolutely terrible basketball, I don't bring up his PER. Jeff Green has horrible advanced stats and is a horrible basketball player, I can use them for support for my argument. Most advanced stats accurately judge players, but there are exceptions and Hayward is one.

 

[charsace]

wtf is billups doing

That's Antoni ball. You drive too much and he will take you out.

Carmelo runs our offense the best.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

I am demolishing pick'em tonight

 

[SamuraiX-]

I use advanced stats when they reflect what I see.

Ya don't say.

 

[jman2050]

Come on, don't just be calling dudes trolls all willy nil--

I use advanced stats when they reflect what I see. AK47 has put up ridiculous advanced metrics this season somehow, but has played some absolutely terrible basketball, I don't bring up his PER.

I take it back.

 

[Sanjuro]

Well, that wraps it up for the HeKnicks.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Knicks blow. First round sweep incoming.

 

[The Frankman]

Two man-game Anthony to STAT. Run it.

Nine assists by Anthony.

 

[ph33nix]

stan van has the best pissed faces

 

[Pkaz01]

Lmao carter would have a good game against toronto. its like clockwork.

 

[charsace]

I hate small ball so much. Fucking hate it.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Ya don't say.

An advanced stat can be worthless if it doesn't judge what a player actually does so if you using a stat that didn't represent what you're seeing...


edit: Hayward had a really bad game after my post (((

 

[jjasper]

Too bad the Knicks can't play the Griz every game.

 

[jehuty]

Bucks fan here... Even though the Bucks suck, I want to lay all the blame on Hammond. How on earth does one lose to the kings? Oh I know; have a team assembled by Hammond. Of all the bucks players who continue to disappoint there is one who really takes the cake. John Salmons, I hate you. You are a bum and only seem to turn it up when a team acquires you for half a season. There is a reason the bulls dropped him like a bad habit. But noooo, Hammond has to sign you and drakes older brother (drew gooden) to horrible contracts.

Its funny, the kings are moving and so will the bucks soon. If Herb Kohl wants to save this team its time to fire Hammond and hire a decent Gm who isn't gonna brake the bank on journeyman scrubs.

[Gigglepoo]

Looks like the Pacers all but clinched the 8th seed tonight. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

 

[The Frankman]

I hate small ball so much. Fucking hate it.

Earl Barron would've got that rebound!

BTW why is Turiaf not out there? Again Shawne Williams playing PF and STAT at PF...

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

An advanced stat can be worthless if it doesn't judge what a player actually does so if you using a stat that didn't represent what you're seeing...

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Gigglepoo]

An advanced stat can be worthless if it doesn't judge what a player actually does so if you using a stat that didn't represent what you're seeing...

So I can disregard any "advanced stat" if what it represents doesn't match what I see on the court? Thanks!

 

[charsace]

Earl Barron would've got that rebound!

BTW why is Turiaf not out there? Again Shawne Williams playing PF and STAT at PF...

Because we need to put up 30 3's.

 

[SamuraiX-]

edit: Hayward had a really bad game after my post (((

-8 +/- rating?

He's almost DeMarcus Cousins bad!

 

[Gigglepoo]

The Knicks haven't had a big win in 23 days.

 

[The Frankman]

Weird STAT: Has Amar'e ever had a good game as a Knicks wearing the double pullup socks?

Not a bad foul on Howard. Hope he misses a FT.

 

[charsace]

A 3 will be put up now.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

So I can disregard any "advanced stat" if what it represents doesn't match what I see on the court? Thanks!

Not really, advanced stats other than +/- don't judge things like offensive execution and defense focus and those are the only things that cause advanced metrics exceptions in terms of how good a player is on offense.

-8 +/- rating?

He's almost DeMarcus Cousins bad!

JE with a +4!


I don't know why he didn't play much in the fourth...
