Flagrant foul compilation. The fouls definitely used to be nastier, but some of those should be renamed to "attempted murder on the courts" instead of flagrant fouls.

Also, Carmelo's punch and run wraps it up at the end. Such a gutless worm.

Nothing will replace Cats-Knicks

Bynum on Barea is the first one that comes to mind.
Cats-Knicks was fun at the time, but the fact that Brooklyn and New York both have no picks at all in the draft of the decade while being bottom feeders instead of the championship contenders they were claiming to be is just...

They tank don't tank for the big player, they tank with real heart and soul that no team could match. Any team could lose back to back to the kings, it takes a real team to lose 9 in a row and be winless for a month.

They're also 1 and 2 in payroll. It really is just poetry.
They cut Lin for financial reasons.
Maybe they can resign Alan Houston and have to pay a $100 million Luxury Tax. Maybe when Jimmy Dolan can't pay the Boss so he can front for the ‎E Street Band will they make changes.
They scared now

Its kind of sad and hilarious how everyone will tune in tonight to see who will out-suck the other. I'm kind of hoping for a Knicks loss to see the team implode.
Dolan got mad at Lin for the most bitchmade of reasons, plus Melo probably had something to do with it as well. CAA owns the Knicks. Seems like theres an easier way to get Dolan to do whatever you want than buying the team outright. You just gotta get him on tour with his favorite band.

Keep it up, maybe if you pound those keys a little harder I'll feel your anger over here
Cavs absolutely dominated the Nuggets last night on both sides of the ball. The offense looks like it has flowed a lot better since the Miami game and Mike Brown has obviously improved the defense dramatically. Heck, Kyrie looked like a passable defender last night and was able to hold Ty Lawson to 1-13 from the field. Offensively he needs to be more efficient (23 points on 20 shots) but I'm sure he'll find his groove here soon. Let's look at some of the notable performers:
Tristan Thompson 17/21
Anderson Varejao 18/13
Andrew Bynum 14/7
Nuggets held to under 40% shooting and their 7 game win streak was snapped. We take on Atlanta Friday.
No assets on this team though.
Ok.
Guys, Gucci can look at a box score. He has shown that skill and he knows how to copy the numbers from that box score and post them on GAF. We'll have to decide if that's two skills or if it's just one skill with added application.

Sounds like a game ynb should have.
Takes the ball out and chucked it for every shot.

Nice try. Really like the stealth edit too.
We're discussing basketball in this thread you neanderthal, half the discussion is dominated by statistics. Not sure if you noticed but that's how normal people with intelligence evaluate things.
You like the Dolphins, Jazz, and BYU. The irony is strong with this one.
So mad lmao
I just don't really see Varejao running the ball down the court for every damn shot

Having a third of the roster hurt and another 3rd a shell of themselves due to major injuries will do that. But sure, just blame it on Carmelo. It's possible. I mean it's not an entirely intelligent position, but it's possible.
... relatively.

Knicks will win tonight, JR will finally get hot and give Melo some help. I can't wait to see this Nets team implode after Kidd demoted Frank.

Guess you already forget about posting this, huh?
It's cute that you're trying though.
I see a lot of Lakers and former Lakers in that video.

Isn't it pretty much an open secret that half the team blames Carmelo? Who else do you think they're talking about when they use a phrase like "the ball seems to stick"? He's also shooting 27% from three on 4.1 attempts. That's lol.
The defense actually got better when Al came back. I said "wow" too.
If Charlotte is regressing to the mean, does that mean that Kyrie already has his bags packed?
Its funny you say this after blaming Tyson Chandler and Shumpert for not picking up the slack.

30th in defensive efficiency last year
Overpaid for a big man who is notorious for playing shitty defense just so they can be a middling team in the East instead of tanking
3rd in defensive efficiency this year. Oh wait. It's December.
Regression will occur, the law of averages will take over.
Bobcats will be one of the worst defensive teams in the league by years end.

No because we actually improved our team and didn't sign a black hole at center while keeping the same shitty roster from last year that was the worst defensive team in the association. Nice try though bro, almost got me.

It's December and 11 teams are under .500 in the East, are you really this stupid?

blackace if you wanna lock this thread...
This kid, who doesn't know any of us, comes in and starts calling people stupid while making stupid arguments about whether or not the Bobcats are going to regress. He's gotta be someone's trolling alt, right?
I'm not even going to talk to him anymore. I might talk about him, we'll see, but he's basically as irrelevant as the post-Lebron Cavs anyway.

You summed it up nicely
Lets give him a chance guys :3
If you actually looked into what I just said, you'd see that Charlotte scored an 'odd' amount of points in the paint last year despite its size - because it was one of the league leaders in fast break points throughout most of the season. Which would be nice, but we had no offense to speak of outside of forcing turnovers.
So
If Charlotte were somehow scoring 100pts per game, then yeah, you'd definitely have an argument. Because with a similar scoring cast, that just shouldn't make much sense at all especially given how the offense is almost identical to Paul Silas'. But defensively? Actually not selling out for every steal or block presented and *gasp* not getting completely demolished on the boards and giving the team the once rare opportunity to end possessions without inbounding it from the baseline changes quite a bit.
Cool - good argument presented. Now, when he decides to not read a damned thing again, we can all just agree to troll him without mercy until Blackace steps in, right?
We might've been 30th in defensive efficiency because our front court consisted of Desagna Diop, Brendan Haywood, Byron Mullens, and Bismack "I can guard everyone if I try" Biyombo while our coach banked everything on forcing turnovers with a constant fullcourt press in order to jumpstart a non-existant, two man-offense.30th in defensive efficiency last year

LMAO. The Starters just showed a clip where Wesley asked Stotts to guard YNB, and YNB heard it and said some shit like "watch this" as he tried to post up Wesley, and completely got shut down defensively.
Stay free YNB. Stay free.
Stay free YNB. Stay free.

Jeff, I was 2nd in posting the last thread, where exactly were you at? I'm not saying this to "brag" or anything dumb like that, just pointing out that I've been here.
"Bu...but he's mean and making dumb arguments!"
So when I use statistics and logic to back up my points that you don't want to hear I'm "trolling" now? I love how people like you try to play the victim. I sit here and take personal attacks all day but don't cry about it, I dish it back out. At the end of the day they're fucking words and this is an anonymous forum. I don't care what you say about me, learn to stop being overly sensitive.
Saying you won't talk to me, which obviously implies that you're mad, is the same thing as "I'm taking my ball and going home." If you're over the age of 16 it's pathetic.
I'm ready to have a discourse with anyone here but if you're an asshole to me be prepared to get it right back.
