He feeds off the fans for sure, but before his knee troubles he was so awesome to watch during road games because he was the only one capable of single-handily taking over games.SamuraiX- said:Matthews was extremely consistent with those types of games early in the season when he got the start at the 2/3 when Roy went down. I wouldn't be surprised to see another performance like that from him (not with all four of his 3s coming in the 1st quarter of course).
Roy, on the other hand, I would only expect to see a similar performance from him in this series in Game 4 or Game 6 (if there is one). He seems to feed off the fan support at home and does't perform as well on the road.
He wouldn't look as good in the triangle, at least his stats wouldn't. He gets away with being good enough to possess the ball maybe moreso than any other player in the NBA, the triangle takes away from that.Darkman M said:Paul is pretty grimey, just the guy the Lakers Need at PG.
:lakersguardsFrom 82games.com, Nets SFs had a collective 9.1 PER. The only weaker position? Lakers PGs, at 8.8.

nah hes just average... Nelly is bettercuevas said:CP3 is a great bowler though.
It was the ACC tourney, it was Julius Hodge, and he probably deserved it.Black Mamba said:Nobody should be surprised about CP3 being dirty. that's always been the case. Hell, he was suspended during the NCAA Tourney for punching/hitting some dude in the balls.

According to CP3, hodge was making jokes about his grandfather that just passedBlack Mamba said:Didn't he miss game 1 of the NCAA tourney for it, though? And then Wake Forest had to go to double or triple OT to win that game or some shit? I randomly remember this game because of where I was at the time.
I don't remember anything about Julius Hodge though, so I'll take your word for it.

The Frankman said:Waiting to hear ESPN NY/WFAN report on Knicks practice. I know it's "Gametime Decision" but something will be announced on radio.
The pace of play in the regular season this year wasn't exactly frenetic, and it's slowed considerably in the postseason. The regular-season pace factor of 94.5 possessions per 48 minutes has slumped to just 90.6 in the playoffs, so we're losing nearly one trip per quarter.
On a per-possession basis, personal fouls are up about 10 percent from the regular season. Similarly, free throw attempts per field goal attempt have increased even more, from exactly .300 in the regular season to .345 in the playoffs. That may not seem like much, but actually it's huge -- for every 20 shot attempts we're seeing an extra free throw attempt, so in a typical game each side is getting nearly four extra shots from the line.
As a result, teams are shooting just 45.6 percent on 2-pointers, compared to 49 percent in the regular season. This isn't just from tough playoff defense, either, because if that was the case we'd see just as big a drop in 3-point accuracy. But on 3s, the league-wide 36.8 percent mark is actually slightly better than the regular-season performance. It's only inside the arc where the accuracy is down, presumably because many of the easiest shots have been replaced with free throws.
It seems like we see a lot more star players isolating in the postseason, and the expected results of that are fewer turnovers and fewer assists which is exactly what we're getting thus far. Assists, in particular, are way down. In the regular season, 57.8 percent of buckets had a helping hand, but in the postseason thus far it's just 52.8 percent. Turnovers have also dropped, though not as drastically -- from 15.5 percent of possessions to 14.7 percent.
Scoring is an abysmal 88.3 points per game, but a lot of that drop is due to the slower pace. Offensive efficiency, however, is not as good as it was in the regular season. We've gone from 104.0 points per 100 possessions to only 102.8 in the playoffs.
He's the best pg in the league so he will look good no matter what. His jumper is money. Only Nash is a better shooter at the pg position.dIEHARD said:He wouldn't look as good in the triangle, at least his stats wouldn't.

Black Mamba said:some interesting playoff overall stats.
"We got the best closer in the world," Bulls center Joakim Noah said. "And everybody knows it. And they know it. And we know it. And their coach knows it. And they say it, too. They have no problem saying it. And we all know it, so that's definitely gives confidence to our team."
"Right now, he is the best closer in the world," Bulls guard Kyle Korver said. "He wants the ball. He knows he can get a shot off. It doesn't matter what has happened the whole game. Great players are able to do that, come through when the team really needs you. And he's done that all year. He's He's hit so many big shots this year ... He's 22 years old. It's pretty special. I'm definitely glad he's on my team."
Who is better than him besides Nash? Please don't say Deron because that hasn't been the case in like 3 seasons.dIEHARD said:He isnt the 2nd best shooter at PG but whatever, he is good.

The Pacers coach said they compromised their defense as they were worried about Korver.
http://insider.espn.go.com/insider/blog?name=player_x&id=6396873"Legend has it Gary Payton, who vets say talked an endless stream of trash, once told Jordan that he drove a better car than MJ. 'The cars I got are just like yours,' Jordan replied. 'Except mine were free.'" Also, love this: "The Lakers aren't as good at it, but the defending champs have an edge over most other teams because Kobe can talk with the best of them while he lights you up and Ron Artest is just weird. One reason he's a great defender is he'll get way too close and whisper in your ear."
Zep said:And that's exactly the reason hes an interim coach.
TheGreatMightyPoo said:Yeah, I suppose, seems like a nice guy but not sure if he's cut out to be a coach.
They were 20-18 after he took over supposedly though or something like that.
I was actually thinking Curry. Strangely enough if you go off pure stats Luke Ridnour is the best.charsace said:Who is better than him besides Nash? Please don't say Deron because that hasn't been the case in like 3 seasons.
