After Shumpert dunk replay: "I guess he's got muscle memory, huh."

Martin was great the last 2 games though. If anything this was the average catching back up.
Ibaka will have a bigger game but at the same time as fisher? Problem is they need multiple guys to hit at the same time not just one.
On the road i don't know who on that team has the balls to come up besides Durant and fish on offense.
You're just making the same lazy argument that both teams have the same number of missed calls, without any evidence. I am not even calling ref biased on this game, I'm just calling you out for not making any sense.

He'd be useful in garbage time I guess. lol
Off all those shots Conley made at the end of the 4th, at least half of them would have been wasted by Rudy.

Gay would have taken high percentage shots away from their big 3 though. Also allows Allen to get slashes and stuff.
He'd be fine as a sixth man. As long as he wasn't taking shots from zach, marc, and mike.

He'd start on the Knicks
I doubt that but if you think so
Tony Allen is not good on O
He would take some from
But there when offense plods to a halt
Having a gunner at that time isn't always a bad thing

LMAO SHAQ. going ham on Perkins.
Tony Allen is a good hustle player on offense but a poor jump shooter. Gay isos get rid of that from him when they are in together.

Shaq on perk now chuck on skip. Amazing.
Shaq insulting perk was the best though. Shaq still knows how to make fun of someone.

I wanna see a Rudy Gay, Josh Smith and Bargs front court.
He's gotten a lot better this year. Chuck, on the other hand, just seems to be rambling more so than ever.
He was awful through he ASB this year. I think in the last month or so, he's toned down the beefing with Chuck, and has been displaying more of the analyst he is on NBATV. I actually agree with him more than Chuck, most of the time, but I hate when he goes into his minstrel act. I think he forgot what made him so appealing prior to joining the crew. In his few guest appearances before then, he was endearing. He's been really grating most of the last two season, but the last month or so I've really enjoyed what he adds to the show. PEACE.
Apparently
True, the lakers with pau/bynum were close but they were never healthy, and this is probably better. Though not as tall.
I can't think of a time when.
Don's disagree. And it's sort of balanced by the odd games on the grizz.
Gay not playing means those shots are going to Z-bo and marc and mike. Where they should. Instead of stopping in his hands. Where prince feeds the post, Gay ISO'd.
I wouldn't want him there as a 6thman beacuse it would allow hollins to fall back into bad habbits and try to rely on gay.
I like gay, but he needs some polishing, and better coaching to reign him in. Something hollins isn't able to provide.

Have we talked about how good Mike Conley is?
Cause damn hes good.
Cause damn hes good.

Gay can score on his own which is something they are missing
Also Pau and AB were decent but still I think this frontline is better
Can't think of a frontline it compares to without going way back
Chuck was always a bit of a jerk, but he's really just an asshole now.

Duncan and drob
Z-bo and Marc can score out of the post on their own. And at a better rate. Not sure why you'd want an iso wing involved in that.
And... Neither.
I've liked several decisions by hollins so far, when the clips went super small, he just stayed big.
When OKC went big "We were already in a big lineup because thats who we are".
IF the grizz meet the Heat in the finals, will be interesting to see what lineup they trot out against the grizz. I'm not sure they can run with Battier/LBJ @ the 4 with Marc and Z-bo on the floor.

Z-Bo and Marc play so beautifully together. They have awesome chemistry. Pau/AB (and Pau/Dwight) got in each others way too often.

In that regard they remind me of Webber and Vlade

Chuck was always an asshole.... If the worse week ever jokes are true. He is just an asshole right now in a bad mood, which means he isn't telling the asshole jokes and being charismatically clever that usually make assholes bearable to the people around them. Trust me on this as a self admitted asshole and friend of many people who are the same.

matchups would favor the grizzlies. Haslem wouldn't play. Bosh would guard Marc and Battier would have to guard Zbo. I can't think of a situation where Battier wouldn't get abused on defense. oh and Spo would never get LeBron to guard zbo. Bosh would do a decent job on Marc I think.

19 & 10 his 1st 3 years with Duncan. And Duncan was instantly great when he came in.
Later years sure, but early on in Duncan's career that was an insane frontline.
No way Battier defends Zbo. That would be a huge mistake. It'll be Haslem and Bron IMO. Maybe some Birdman + Bosh lineup too.
Hey, I am too. Earlier today on Chicago sports radio, Chuck was talking about how he wants to retire from being an analyst, and will do so after his contract is up in 3 years. He said that he's been doing this job for too long, and he's looking to become a GM. I just don't think he likes what he's doing anymore, and it's really souring how he comes across.

has Perkins been good at least once in his career? Why did the Thunder trade for him.
To stop the laker bigs.
During his Celtics days, he was hyped up as some defensive monster that had all these "intangibles". There were a lot of myths built around him that added to his value. When the Celtics lost to the Lakers in the finals, it was because Perk couldn't play. When he was traded, and the Celtics lost in the playoffs, it was because they got rid of Perk. He was just well protected in the Celtics system, and they covered up his weaknesses.
All of this crap made him a lot more appealing than what he really was, and the Thunder traded for him thinking there were getting just what they needed. They then signed him to an overpaid contract, before even checking to see if he was worth it.
THIS IS WHY GRIT SUCKS.
Okc had to go through LA to make any noise in the playoffs. And perkins played pretty good defense against pau/bynum. Thats pretty much it....and then with the emergence of zach/marc and constant rumors of dwight coming to LA it became all the more important to keep him.

man I hope not.... he should look at McHale to see the anguish and stress leaving his comfy job can cause. He is great on TV unless its for an increase in money (or maybe the thrill of competing again) I can't see why he would want to leave. As he's admitted a few times before his job is to watch basketball and talk shit, it can't get much better than that...... Right?
