... is it me or do today's generation of NBA fans/players not know how to post up correctly? I bet PGs like Mark Jackson are better at posting up than LeBullrush.

Andre Miller and Chauncey Billups have a proper post-up game.

Yeah but those guys played in the mid 90's, they debuted in that generation so I'd expect them to be able to. Today's player should be able to post up, but don't because they a) don't want to learn and more importantly b) don't need to because it's easier to get the bullshit call by driving to the hoop and throwing up a prayer.

I know GAF has said this but can you imagine a guy like LeBron playing in the early 90's? Questionable J? Next to no post game? Oh sure he'd have some explosive games but more often than not I can see him getting beaten up.

lol yeah. He caught the ball 15 feet out, faced up, and just crossed Durant over to the right and dunked it.

LeBron James Post-Ups (04/12/11)
LeBron James has been one of the most efficient post-up players this season, here's why
Click to expand...

Oh wow, really? I guess I've been watching a completely different league of basketball all season, huh?

And this guy is so right.

I can't imagine would dare attempt to "post up" against the juggernaut defenses of Sasha Vujacic, Sonny Weems, Julian Wright, Hedo Turkoglu, Manu Ginobili, Rodney Stuckey, and Courtney Lee.

Half of the clips in this reel aren't even post-ups.

If Spolestra doesn't start Chalmers and have him punch rondo's arm up the court, they don't deserve to win the series. I wouldn't give a fuck, if he wants to play he should suffer the whole game.

This I can agree on. I would slap that arm every damn time I possibly could.

The Manuflop is a very effective way to play defense, HOW DARE YOU!!!

Remember when Ewing came back in the playoffs vs. the Pacers from the broken wrist injury back in the day? Every Pacer (even Ferengi Miller) commented how they'd slap that wrist on every jumper to test Ewing. I miss the good 'ol days of MAN BASKETBALL.

The Thunder need to throw it into Durant and let him shoot a turnaround or hook. He's so tall and long that he should be doing this.

If you catch the ball in the post, face up your man, and shoot it seems to count as a post move which is just stupid imo.

I don't see how that was a dumb question. Wade has done a lot of suspect stuff the last few plays and she asked him what he thought of people who might see it as dirty.

thats like saying if pheeniks had sex with a fat chick, that automatically makes him a pimp.
having sex with a fat chick doesn't make you a pimp.
that lol post game you claim he has against lol players does not equate to him having a post game.

Bosh was a really good player on Toronto, and has change completely in Miami. He is simply not the same guy he was. He turned into a gigantic bitch. I have never seen him not give a fuck like this in my life. If I was Miami I would be looking for a trade. He is not the same player he was in Toronto, for whatever reason.
Click to expand...

Just like some guys look awful with increased minutes and responsibility, good players can look very bad when they get no touches or plays run for them. On most nights, Heat are basically asking Bosh to rebound and play defense...and if he's lucky he can get table scraps from Bron and Wade. He is not the kind of player to get engaged in a game playing that way.

He reminds me a lot of Gasol. Sulks and disappears when he's not getting his touches even though the matchup is one where he can't really dominate

There's a replay of Dallas vs LA Game 3 on NBA TV right now.

I usually hate Odom but I can't even hate on how stylin' he looks rocking that purple & gold uni with gold shoes, a black armband on right left arm, and black sleeves on his legs.

Like every point he scored in that game made him look good. Damn.

Guys, there is a 5 second violation. Stop over-rating(sp) post up play for perimeter players.

No, it's 5 seconds from when you make your first dribble. You can hold it forever outside of the paint. Damn, even STAT got a frickin' post game this year.

Wade is more deserving of All-NBA at this point than Kobe. I'm not even convinced Kobe makes 2nd team if you just take any two guards.

Rose/Wade
CP3/???

Is Kobe honestly better than Deron or Rondo at this point?

Sometimes you just need to be able to post up and go to town. When a team is playing good defense against your best player the post might be the only way he can get it. Go watch some of Jordan's second 3peat games and look at how much offense he generated by posting up. Post up perimeter players can open up a lot of offense.

Report: Sixers Will Look To Trade Iguodala

RealGM said:
The Philadelphia 76ers are expected try and trade Andre Iguodala this summer, according the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Kate Fagan.

Iguodala was non-committal when asked about playing for the Sixers next season.

"I expect to be back in the NBA," Iguodala said after the team's season-ending loss to the Miami Heat in the NBA playoffs. "It's always been a dream of mine to play ball. This has been a great ride so far, not just with the Sixers, just playing basketball in general. I'm really looking forward to getting some rest this summer, just letting my body recuperate and get back to 100 percent, and I'm really looking forward to next year being my best year in the league."

Iguodala has 3 years, $56 million remaining on his contract.

Yeah Iggy, for sure. I'm sure rest is all you need.

Not like there's a jump shot waiting for you to work on it or anything, you fucking bum.

Delonte West has an unexpectedly sweet post-up game. His shot has been money this playoffs too. I feel he has so much to teach Lebron as a father figure.

Hmm. I think I am going to act as if today is the day the Magic Lakers won their 4th championship, 1987. I'll act as though Magic was still in his prime on a team that had heart. Yes, that is what I will do today. It will be a good day indeed. Magic, the best player in the game!

Well, last year my cousin was staying in my place, she wanted to stay with me because "I like to party a lot" anyway, we went to a club with some friends, after that we came to my place. I have two rooms, one is my main room the other one is where I have my tv, videogames, sofa, etc.,

Anyway we never talked about where she was going to sleep, I thought she was going to sleep in the TV room (I know, I'm such a gentleman) but for my surprise she went to my bed so I was "Ok... this is weird".

We were in bed, after few minutes we were spooning! My hand was on her belly, then went up, she didn't complaint so... you know the rest :D

He later clarifies that it is, in fact, his first cousin.
