NBA Basketball 2006-07: The Thread

[No spoken words]

which ironicly enough also lasted just 91 seconds

I pretty much asked for that.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you serve 'em up, i'll spike 'em down

 

[tpsreports2424]

to add, jordan didn't even make his JV team when he was young...

his kids are great b-balls players...

well, obviously

 

[U2ME3]

is today the day the suns lose? i think the cavs, even though they have been playing like shite, knock off kelly leak and his team.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm looking forward to watching this game, and I rarely actually look forward to a regular season NBA Game.

kelly leak

 

[No spoken words]

Kelly Leak is hitting 54% of his shots from the field overall, 50% from 3. Unreal. 19 ppg and 11 assists. Wow.
This is the year he actually deserves MVP, but he likely will not win it.

Every time I watch Larry Hughes play, I shake my head. This guy is no Pippen to James' Jordan. He's already 0-4 from the field, 2 of those shots were long jumpers with plenty of time on the shot clock. He's marginally interested in playing Defense, at best. He's 40% for the season from 3, which is good...but, overall, 41% from the field, which is bad. He averages 15 points a game, but, he needs a lot of shots to get there. I just don't like his game, and I don't think they ever win a title with this cat playing a key role. Now that I typed this he'll probably score 50 points and make me look like the moron I already am.

nope, he won't.

it's no secret that Washington is better without him.

 

[No spoken words]

Phoenix is fun to watch.

 

[Got Philk?]

I'm so happy Amare has been able to make the comeback after his injuries. He's such a fun player to watch too.

 

[No spoken words]

He's also grown up a lot, which helps. His eyes are on a title, not his stats. He's scary in the post, so quick and very strong.

 

[namkcuR]

Word is Chicago and Boston are frontrunners for Gasol.

But word is that Chicago doesn't want to give up Deng or Gordon to make it happen.

 

[LMP]

I hope Orlando makes a move for Gasol, but they'd probably end up giving up Darko.

 

[Got Philk?]

Word is Chicago and Boston are frontrunners for Gasol.

But word is that Chicago doesn't want to give up Deng or Gordon to make it happen.

The problem is rumor has it anyway...that they won't trade Gasol to Chicago unless they trade 2 out of these 3 players. Heinrich, Gordon, Deng.

Chicago will not trade 2 of these players. One maybe, but definately not two. That is too much and kind of ruins the nucleus, or future of this team.

I have come up with the conclusion. We need to trade for Diogu. I used to say Troy Murphy, but he's probably off limits now so I'm going for Diogu. I know... He's done so much in the NBA...

 

[tpsreports2424]

I was at the heat-bulls game last night, great game...alfonso mourning got stuffed a few times

shaq wasn't playing but i saw him on the side with his blue suit and 25 foot shoes

 

[LMP]

I loved Ginobili's hall of fame flop after he blocked Kobe.

My dad and I were watching it, then rewound it with TiVo, and still couldn't find where he hurt himself.

 

[thetitans2k]

I can't beleive they didnt go to kobe in the end. Also what a great shot by Kobe?

 

[Lila64]

I was there. Damn the Lakers! They had the game, but lost it in the 4th, not to mention missing most of their freethrows
They were seriously lacking in offensive rebounding
Then overtime... thought they had it, came out strong... oh well.

I TiVo'd the game, but haven't gone back to watch. It was a great game though




and thanks to you know who - very appreciative

 

[BonosLil'Pal94]

good first Laker game though

and like my mom said, thanks!!

 

[Hewson]

This is the year he actually deserves MVP, but he likely will not win it.

Kelly Leak has also been nominated for a best Supporting Actor Oscar...will wonders never cease.

"I think, on the world stage, he’s one of our great athletes in all sports. I’m a big fan. The two MVPs he got, he deserved. Part of the reason that he’s so good and so effective is that the guys like playing with him. He creates an atmosphere where they win games."
-Bill Russell on Steve Nash

 

[Hewson]

How about Nate Robinson yesterday... a half court buzzer beater that was a tick too late at the end of 1, then a 3/4 court buzzer beater at the half that counted...good stuff.

And speaking of good stuff...Celts lose again...Greg Oden Green, a new Crayola color coming in November 2007.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'd be shocked of oden is as good as dwight howard.

he'll still be good, but i just can't see him being as man beastly as the man beast.

 

[phanan]

I think Paul Pierce needs to take some more time off, you know, just to be sure he's ok and the Celtics can continue with their losing streak.

Of course, with the luck the Celts have in the lottery, they probably won't get Oden, anyway.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Latrel Sprewell is being for 200 million dollars.

 

[LMP]

i really don't think oden will come out this year, but durant probably will.

and watching dwight howard play in person is like watching untapped greatness, he's going to be phenomenal one day.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Whoops! He's being sued for 200 million dollars.

 

[impy13]

That's how I feel watching Durant play from the first 10 rows every home game.

 

[No spoken words]

I was at a Magic/Twolves game a few months ago, in Minneapolis. KG was guarding Howard for most of the first half, and Howard made KG look silly numerous times. He was just too strong.

I think Oden can, and likely will be a good pro.

I think Durant has the potential to be an amazing pro. I watched him over the weekend, wow. What a stud.

Lila, glad you enjoyed the game!!!
