NBAGAF by far and away has the most posts of any thread on Neogaf. If we just had one thread per season, it would end up the largest thread ever on Neogaf. Nothing would even come remotely close.
Every single month the NBAGAF thread is the biggest of the sports threads.
In terms of a title, you have to do some strange shit to get one. I have done some crazy stuff and all I got was my name changed. Although I don't know how many people in the history of Neogaf have ever gotten a name change.

Damn that is a ruthless tag and its kind of like a double kill cause of the comment after the quote. Two birds with one stone on that one.SamuraiX- said:

Agreed slightly. That was a real dumb shot on melo's part. As knick fan i'm a little PO'ed about the fact that A'mare had a good run in the 4th only to not get the ball the last 2 mins. Someone also stated this earlier but it still boggles my mind.

Amazing
Heh yep. Was talking to one hot ass girl friday night, mate comes up to me while talking to her, she turns to him and just goes " fuck off would you". I look at her, go "give me a sec", and just walked away. Later in the night crazy bitch asks where the hell i went.SamuraiX- said:

Bitches, they be crazy.

You made your own tag really.

Look, i'm not going to defend Mike as a great strategical coach, but on O, he's a genius. The only reason amare wouldn't have gotten the ball is Celtics D, and him not really wanting it.
You could just as much ask why all the stupid shots by billups earlier in the game? Why did melo turn into a 3pt shooter only in the 4th?

Yeah, I was day-drinking the shit out of a couple bottles of wine when I made those posts. Most idiotic troll war ever, and now people can just say "lolz, go play your $500 acoustic guitar somewhere Puddles" or "go let it linger somewhere Puddles" even if I'm making a serious argument.

Can't really answer that. As of recent melo seemed to have had that shot from behind the arch pretty down. Although in this game he missed it repeatedly. Greed is my only answer to that I suppose.
There def should have been more ball movement esp on that last play, but as you said good D on the Celtics part makes it no easy task. Either way somethings gotta get worked out, either A'mares gotta step up more in the last few mins or Melos gotta learn to dish the ball out when you're not hot. Not really sure how to call it.
Either way the constant 4th quarter failures have gotta end
If he has that many plays to get the ball to amare and he can't do it in 2 minutes of playtime he needs some better plays. And even if the celtics played the best defense in the world amare was not tied up in a straight jacket for two minutes they spent hardly any time even trying to get the ball in his hands. They went straight to melo a good coach would never let that happen for two minutes straight and its not even like its the first time its ever happened. He has been doing it since the suns days. I wouldn't be arguing if it was just one game against the C's its been happening for a while.giri said:
How many times have the lakers, spurs, celtics, or any other team with an elite coach failed to even have their best player touch the ball for two minutes straight?
I agree that he is not the only one at fault, but it has been a common theme when it comes to amare being on fire.
He He he. He draws up the plays, he instills the system, it's up to the players to execute.Pkaz01 said:
They never even moved the ball, that doesn't sound like Mikes fault, his offense has always been about movement. There have been plenty of times when mikes shit the bed against other coaches, but what was the great move here by doc? it sounds like the players shit the bed here, not him.
Well for one doc got lucky on that last play that KG didn't get called for it thats for damn sure but it was still a set play and i'm sure he would have been fine with pierce taking that last shot like he did in their first reg season game. The big one was the play right before that with that alley oop from rondo to garnett with no time wasted that completely slapped d'antoni in the face because he has used that play many times in the past and d'antoni should have shown that to his players but we know he doesnt preach defense anyway.giri said:
The problem with pringles is his offense. He has a good offense for lets say 46 minutes of the game but when the game comes down to the wire his offense completely built around the 3 point shot and as a result favors the players on the wing. He never made the adjustment his offense needs to utilize a dominant offensive presence on the inside like amare.
I noticed a severe lack of pick and roll basketball and noticed a lot of posting carmelo and not enough pick n roll with amare. On the last plays it was supposed to be carmelo or amare taking the last shot which is stupid to me because carmelo had not done shit in the second half and amare was killing it. A good coach would not just settle with that for 2 minutes straight he would get the ball in the best players hand some way. The players played a big role in that (carmelo being the worst offender) but d'antonis offense doesn't really put amare with a chance to get touches in the last couple of minutes.
sorry i pulled a blackface imma go to sleep now

Amazing how him styling on the Lakers makes one forget how big of a douche he is
Yeah, I said earlier that I think rather than looking at this game as "we needed Russ and KD to go nuts to even beat the Nuggets by 4," I think after the series we'll view it as "our roleplayers uncharacteristically played like absolute garbage (especially Serge, WTF?) and KD and Russ picked up the slack."TylerD said:
I guess it comes with being a fan of such a young team--nights like last night are going to happen for Serge and Harden.

Rondo makes too many bonehead plays to be the best PG in the league. Dude is always playing risky.
Giri is completely right about this. You can blame Mike for Amare not getting the ball in the last two minutes of the game. That's on the players (Amar'e included). What, do think Mike is standing on the sidelines telling them exactly what to do every time down the court? That some Larry Brown shit...
I said it last night, I'll say it again-- the Celtics are a mess. If last night proved anything, it's that the Knicks can ball with this team. Not having Billups will be a damper, but Douglas can put the Knicks into hyperdrive. Wish they were playing game 2 tonight, come get some.

COTY experience. Wonder if they trade Scola and Martin now since those guys are so terrible at defense.

I'm just gonna watch 90s NBA over and over.
Free throw marathons, guards taking 80 shots a game, and now the Rockets are going to have Mike Brown.
