  1. Crushing defeat, last night was vintage Arenas, 9/23FG, 31pts and 5 assists, looks like he's regaining his form.
  2. The scary thing is, this list will probably change in a few weeks.. I agree with what Kenny said on Thursday, if Blake gets a consistent jumpshot, he will be a superstar in this league.
  3. Which coaches do you think would be successful in the NBA? Which NBA teams would fit their style of play the best?
  4. 2nd round matchups are up for Member March Madness...Vote now!

  5. I might after this tourney is over

  6. Bought some clothes, that's really it. Wasn't looking for anything else tbh.
  7. 1. Do you still miss McNabb despite Vick's MVP caliber season? 2. If you could redo the 2010 draft, would you still take Evan Turner? 3. Eagles Superbowl champs or Sixers winning the Finals, what do you want to see more? 4. What would you like to see the Eagles focusing on in this upcoming draft? 5. Come up with one trade scenario involving Iguodala? 6. Did I just add that question mark at the end of #5 so it could look like it's a question? 7. John Wall or Michael Jordan, who's really better? 8. Where do you think Wall will rank amongst PG's in the next 5 years? 9. Will LeBron crack the top 10 greatest players of all time list at the end of his career? 10. Who wins the ROY award this year?
  8. Wow, Bosh with back spasms, return is questionable. Heat cannot catch a break. EDIT: Looks like he's back now.
  9. Jameer Nelson is killing the Heat with his dribble penetration.
  10. Bosh is hurt, not sure what exactly is wrong, but I doubt it's anything serious. EDIT: Looks like it's his back, he's headed to the locker room.
  11. Wade looking good early, so has Orlando's offense.
  12. It really depends on a lot of things. A running back-by-committee can be very effective behind a good ZBS O Line. A #1 WR can be effective even when the OL isn't playing great. Taking into account the landscape of the NFL (a more passing league now) along with teams like the Redskins and Browns, I think a WR is a more valuable commodity. Serviceable HB's can be found anywhere, especially in a system like Shanahan's who has a proven track record of turning average HB's into stars. I still believe a good Oline is the hardest to acquire commodity in the NFL, but WR's are right behind them. Plus, who was the last elite "feature back" to win a Super Bowl or a Super Bowl MVP? Jamal Lewis? Marshall Faulk? An elite WR stretches the field, takes the safety out of the box, helps QB's perform better (young or old), and typically have longer, more productive careers than RB's.
  13. Yeah he did, you could see how intense he was in the fourth when him and Speights got into it. Very impressed with how Wall dominated the game in the 2nd half after a lackluster first half. He looked so passive and lacked his normal explosiveness, but he did something I didn't expect of him this early on in his career, which was relying on his competitive nature and hitting 3's. He played with emotion and it sparked the rally. Emotion is such a huge part of the game, and he allowed his perceived weakness become a strength down the stretch of the game. That's special. And watch out for McGee, he's finally coming around. You know this when I'm starting to give him praise (I'm easily one of his biggest critics). He's finally getting his stamina together and is getting stronger, but more importantly, he's understanding the game more. His instincts are more keen than I've ever seen of him. He still makes mistakes on rotations and going for blocks while leaving the lanes open, but he's becoming a consistent outlet for penetrating guards, and he's flashing to the FT line and making the right plays when he gets the ball. Defensively, he's deterring guards from coming down the lanes and making bigs shoot more perimeter jumpers. His impact on the floor has been startling. Nick is starting to play with focus on a nightly basis now. I have no problem with him when he plays under control like he’s doing now he has every offensive move in the book he can create a shot anytime he wants and he’s hitting his 3’s consistently. This clutch game winner could do wonders for his confidence moving forward.

  15. “Guys have voices now, want to build brands,” Bryant said. “I don’t identify with it, but I understand where it’s going, why it’s going there. That’s not for me. My favorite quote from this article. Love the fact that Kobe admires the game and doesn't taint it with all this "business man" bull[expletive]. I absolutely hated Kobe a few years ago when the rape case came about and when he played selfish basketball, but now I have the utmost respect for him. It's a joy to watch him play, it's going to suck when his generation of players retire (Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, Pierce, etc).

  17. Wall finally playing tonight! On a more depressing note, tonight marks the one year anniversary of Abe Pollin's death, apparently the team will honor him before tip off. EDIT: Ugh, I didn't think his injury would be this bad, but I guess they're just trying to be careful with him.
  18. Yeah I agree, but regardless, it was a decent look by Chris. I still don't know why he wouldn't opt for the three though, no one was near Bellinili, who happens to be a good threat from three.
  19. It was a good look though, David West just couldn't handle the pass it seems like. Paul was looking to tie the game and win it in OT.
  20. Oh man, can't believe Chris didn't pass it to the three point shooter. He was WIDE open.
