It's Juwan Howard.

Rotting corpses never smell good. Just ask Josh Harrellson, dude used to have to sit with Bibby all day.

I hate LeBron's jump shot. It's so ugly looking.

 

[aznpxdd]

Happy 4/20 (from Asia) ya'll!

 

[Bay Maximus]

James is a little too free out there. Thib needs to put some pressure on him. At least for the next 2 quarters.

I don't really read OT anymore, so not sure if was posted there yet, but,

Hollywood lose case against AU ISP

Hollywood told to bugger off.

The court said iiNet's power to prevent customers from pirating movies and TV shows "was limited to an indirect power to terminate its contractual relationship with its customers".

Further, the High Court judges said that infringement notices sent by the film industry to iiNet did not provide the ISP "with a reasonable basis for sending warning notices to individual customers containing threats to suspend or terminate those customers"'.

Woo!!!

Lebron has a jump shot? Since when?

I always picture him throwing the ball at the net, its so goddamn ugly when he attempts anything that is trying to be a jumper.

Teammates affecting players assist totals is bullshit.

I read an article about it somewhere but it doesn't have much of an effect, if at all.

At some point common sense has to overrule statistics man.

If LBJ passes to Haslem wide open under the rim and Haslem misses it, have LBJ's $tat$ been affected?

Every good pass doesn't lead to a 100% shot

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm saying. You can make that argument for anyone

or do you disagree?

 

[giri]

I'm just saying, you can make this complaint for any PG. No one gets 100% conversion on setups, and the differences between players isn't large enough to really affect numbers

Except most number one ranked teams have more offensive able players than the bulls.

Roses team mates really do drag on his effeciency.

But so does thibs horrible offensive schemes.

I'm not saying he's Nash or the like, but he's much better than given credit for.

But its not uniform. Every passer isn't passing to the same quality of shooter. Every passer isn't making the shot as easy for the shooter either.

This isn't a two variable equation. A lot of things go into that. Running from the ball, a crappy offensive scheme... those things are obviously a factor.

Of course. Let me try to find the article.

Think of it like, if Rose's teammates were better shooters, they might go from like 43% shooters on average to 45% shooters on average. Or something. That's, over a season, going to affect your assist totals by adding one more for every 50 shots that Rose creates or has a part in. That is not significant.

That was just an example, but let me find the article

Lol james jnes

 

[SunhiLegend]

Flagrant 2 called

 

[BobLoblaw]

Good. Fucking cheapshot... can't wait til the playoffs. >

 

[SoulPlaya]

Ger Brewer out of the game. Everything is perimeter shooting for Bulls now.

James Jones tries too hard to prove to Spo that he should be playing.

He agrees and disagrees with some of the points you guys brought up.

And he gets thrown out for his trouble. Good luck getting minute playing like that lol

I like how Heat 45 wants a foul called.

Do you remove the human element out of sports intentionally?

There's no stat for running from the ball or ball watching.

Such an unnecessary and uncalled for cheapshot too. What a POS.

Edit: They made Noah pull out the pistols.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Noah pistol dance.

 

[balddemon]

I like how James made that 40 footer after the whistle

I like how people are talking about Derrick Rose as if he actually plays basketball.

 

[Emwitus]

LOL @ pittman! Poor guy. Looks so lost out there.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

I'm not taking the human element out. If you're going to go that way, I can say that Rose's assist totals are inflated because of how ball dominant he is in his offense compared to other PGs in the league.

He agrees and disagrees with some of the points you guys brought up.

His entire argument is an argument against an extreme. Many people throw the "his teammates suck" argument out when it isn't warranted at all.

In Rose's case, you have a very, very clear example of teammates ball watching, terrible offensive scheme, and guys running from the ball.

 

[Emwitus]

I like the alternate version:

Hahahaha. This is going to get lot's of use in the playoffs when the lakers eventually win it all LOL

pew, pew, pew

Boozer's kids don't even respect him


damn

Oh look Boozers traitor kids are back.

Sunhi you should gif boozers kids going "cmon man"

 

[victreeb3l]

It was nice of Boozer to clear a path for Haslem's dunk. Thoughtful guy.

I'm telling you, you can make this argument for a ton of players in the league. Obviously offensive scheme has an affect on how guys play, but you don't disagree on Rose's ball dominance possibly inflating his Apg?

And I mean I can use stats and watch the game as well. Its not one or the other.

 

[thekad]

DY: The point is that that, which is subjective btw, will only marginally effect ast/g, and much less so than being a ball dominant PG.

 

[balddemon]

Have you guy seen the NBA commercial where Lebron is a train and the words ask us "how do you stop it" followed by "with something really really really big" an then it shows the word playoffs lol.

Srsly.

The idea that Rose doesn't get more assists because his teammates stand around him is hilariously ironic. Do you think Rose would get more assists on Phoenix (adjusted for pace)? If you do, lol.

The reason Rose doesn't get more assists is the same reason Steve Francis didn't average more assists than he did. And yes, people stood around and watched Francis.

 

[Owzers]

Watching Boozer makes me want to turn this game off.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Horrible end to the quarter.

 

[Srsly]

Srsly.

It's hard to not make a relatively good post when Worst-GAF sets the bar so low.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

boozer is the epitomy of anticlutch.

The Boozer Defense Force has its work cut out for it tonight.
