Josh Smith getting the greenlight from Mike D to shoot long Js would drive me insane.

Smoove/D12 frontcourt would be amazing otherwise.

Basically this in its entirety.

No different than MWP

At least now they would have a male PF

D'antoni was on the radio this morning talking about Pau. I wouldn't say it was a glowing review with regards to how he fits in his system. I could be wrong, but it seems like if the Lakers did anything that involved moving Pau, it would be for a person who can spread the floor a little more.

 

[Red Blaster]

Pau for Garbageani needs to happen already

 

[pilonv1]

Pau for David Lee

Seems no one else saw why he got ejected either.

I seriously hope those ref's got fined for that shit.

I doubt it though.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Pau for David Lee

Mike D likes athletic players
Spreading the floor with speed as well as shooting

He's had videos accidentally blocked before, but it always gets sorted out. The NBA is actually really good about youtube.

... except when it comes to NBA teams themselves.

Tell me, do you see any video highlights on the official YouTube pages of NBA teams?

Collison looking sharp off the bench. He's been killing my fantasy team for weeks. Not sure they should bog Mayo down with running the offense though

Don't get me wrong, I think he would work better in the D'antoni system than Pau simply because of his speed and ability to run the floor better. That doesn't mean I wouldn't rather get a shooter out of a trade involving Pau though. I think Hill has proven well enough that he can be a solid big off the bench too.

How bad is Lowry gonna give it to Lin tonight

Aren't too many shooters who give near equal value for Pau

Linsanity continues, Lowry reinjures himself, it's official.

trolol. you caused knicks the game and now raps.

 

[StickSoldier]

Ight I'm ready to give up on Kaman, he is soooooooo bad on defense.

1. Kobe and Jordan got to the spots on the floor they wanted to. Well..Kobe didn't care where he was, he was gonna chuck up from anywhere..

2. Dirk says hi? The Dirk that didn't do shit in his entire career and settled for jump shots for the first 8 years of his career until he developed a post game and took the shots he wanted?

Yeah let's compare them to Melo, a guy who will take a 20 foot jumper he's not comfortable with because Glen Davis or some other bum is guarding him.

I'm not saying that driving to the rim or posting up players is a bad idea. Far from it. I'm simply refuting your incorrect notion that "a team is going nowhere when a star player settled for jump shots". That's just not true.

Many championships have been won by teams with a star player who shot jump shots for more than 50% of their total shot attempts. Dirk, Kobe, Jordan 96-98 come to mind. You're probably thinking of how relentlessly Lebron attacked the rim during last years finals, but go back to every game in the EC playoffs where the Heat needed a win and he came through...most of those were jump shooting exhibitions (Game 6 against Boston comes to mind).


I would much rather have a guy who's near automatic on his jump shot (because it's a shot you can get off at ANY TIME) then I would have a low post back to the basket player as my primary superstar. I don't think you win with low post back to the basket alpha dogs anymore in this league. Swarming defense and collapsing on the paint leads to open jump shots, and I want a guy who can hit those consistently. So Melo's jump shooting isn't Melo's problem, his overall basketball IQ is.

thats a terrible matchup for the Raps but Harden is probably gunna go at DD all night to good effect.

Was the Konex curse in effect over there too?

It's 37 - 32 in the phx cle game.

At the half.


Sigh.

I really thought the Cavs would be better this year.

 

[Hi i'm Caleb]

Asik for PG?

Patterson CANNOT guard Bargnani. Rox have to go small

L! O! L!

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Pau for Garbageani needs to happen already

As a Toronto fan this seems way to good to be true. Bargnani is a net negative. Even if Pau's knees give out the second he's traded and he can't play, his +/- would still be 0.

 

[Hi i'm Caleb]

Patterson CANNOT guard Bargnani. Rox have to go small

Well not if P Pat is going to fall for dumb stuff like that. Take a seat son

 

[Cloudy]

They are. Team is not nearly as good w/o Kyrie

Damn Lin playing well lol

RIP Lin.

That was silly of you.

They have no worth while bigs and no wings on Durant/LBJ level to make up for it.

Nobody knew the bench would be this terrible
