This seems a bit harsh considering that the thing that came between Mike D'Antoni and a 2007 NBA championship ring may have been the commissioner's office. When he was on the court, no. The problem was that he was never on the court. So they're rebuilding....around what? Monta Ellis? It's not like there are LBJ-Dwight-Duncan level super-prospects for them in this year's draft (especially since they won't get Davis. they can't bomb fast enough at this point). I just don't see a larger plan here.
Elaborate with this story. The only team I'm aware of David Stern directly fucking was the Mavericks.
I think he's referring to the fact that Stoudemire and Diaw got suspended for basically standing up after Horry hip checked Nash into the scorers' table. Because heaven forbid you get excited when your best player gets slammed on an idiot foul at the end of a game.
I told you! The Heat looked exhausted from the tip. The Heat are saving Curry for the playoffs. I don't like Spolestra's rotation right now. He needs to think about the situation rather than sticking to his standard formula. James Jones was making shots but he wouldn't put him in at the end of the game in Orlando. And if you have guys on the team but dont play them, why are they there. You mean to tell me that Curry couldnt go in the game for a couple minutes and lean on Dwight Howard or Joakim Noah?
Minus Watson not playing, but yeah, it was kind of a weird performance. Wade was kind of pedestrian before going off in the 4th while Lebron was Lebron through the first 3 and then vanished, not even effectively stopping 4'11 John Lucas. The Heat may have more talent, but there is something to be said about how well the Bulls have put together a roster of complimentary and quintessential team players.
Teams without their (self-proclaimed) superstars often rise to the challenge while the opponent lets up a bit thinking they can coast. I didn't see that as much as I saw better ball movement by the Bulls without Rose (sort of like the Knicks without Carmelo or the Lakers without Kobe) and the Heat just chasing the ball.
Oh no, no no no. You're not getting away that easy. Could you look up from LBJ's lap one moment and ask him how John Lucas's dick tasted? That little fucker took that over the back dunk personally. Your best player, the leagues leading MVP was lit up by a third string point guard. And don't you dare evoke the Ewing Theory Gator. The Heat got their ass beat. I'm going to the next Bulls Heat game and I'll be in a box. The only disappointing part of that game was Rose's outfit. Also, how weak is this Dwight Howard drama? It is so stupid.
Please. You're the one that beat on JL3 all last week. I said it was a trap game. I would rather Rose have played. It's not a series, it's one game. I love how everybody is kissing Dwight Howard's ass for doing something he could of and SHOULD have done a year ago. Bad advice? I want to see people come down on Howard harder than they did on LeBron. This whole scene was 10x worse than the Decision. And all he did was say he wouldn't opt out of his contract. No mention of him listing teams to which he would like to be traded or throwing his teammates under the bus. I will give him the fact that the surrounding cast in Orlando is pathetic.
I was just reverse jinxing JL3. You can't prove that I wasn't. Don't pull that trap game crap on me. That's just a way to have an excuse if you lose and more trash talk if you win. No, the The Decision was the worst. He collectively forced America, every TV in every bar to waste 45 minutes of their life on that shit. Dwight Howard is unfortunately going to get a massive PASS on all of this because he wasn't followed since H.S. he wasn't the "next Jordan" and isn't the hometown hero in Orlando. HOLY SHIT! Lakers Trade Fisher, Get Ramon Sessions and more.
Can you explain this one to me: As part of three-team deal, Nene goes to the Wizards, JaVale McGee & Ronnie Turiaf to Denver and Nick Young to Clippers. Poor Nene. Shoulda signed with the Heat when you had the chance, mi amigo.
What part of "Shit...now it's a trap game" affords the opportunity for extra trash talk? That's like beating up a retard and then talking smack. I knew coming off the OT loss on Orlando plus the lack of Derek Rose would cause some disinterest. And you can't prove otherwise! Next time, take the meat out yo mouth and watch the game.
No sir, no I cannot explain anything to you. Stephen Jackson's attitude under Coach Pop is going to be interesting unless he's calmed down that much. Holy fucking Moves Batman, a lot went down that really won't affect the deep playoffs except for the Lakers moves.
That Wizards/Clippers/Nuggets trade is like bobbing for turds. Being Chicago & Miami fans, it's tough to realize that most of the rest of the NBA is irrelevant. Can you imagine being a Rockets fan? Or a Jazz fan? I couldnt name more than 2 starters on more than half the teams. Every Heat game I am shocked to see some of the names on the other teams.
It's not often I say this, but you just entered the hallowed territory of "Douchier than Red Sox or Yankees fans"
Yeah take my name out of there! I know everyone on the Charlotte Bobcats! But really, who the fuck is Ricky Sanchez?
Rip Hamilton's was worse. Dude has been in the league over a decade and still looks like he got his suit, shirt, and tie at Walmart prior to a rural prom.
The sad thing is that Luke Walton is probably hands-down the best option on the roster at SF for Cleveland. Sessions is just good enough to make the Lakers extremely solid again.
