I watched Mike all of last season, and I know he'd be a great asset to bring off the bench. He'll help carry the load on offense and is more than capable of playing PG, SG, and SF. He's a very solid defender and an underrated rebounder. BUT, it's not their biggest need right now. They need depth in the front court. Pacers got almost anything they wanted in the paint, they got to the basket at will and grabbed 12 offensive rebounds.

Pacers did their homework prior to this game, clogging the lanes is what every team should do against the Heat. Of course, Wade won't have these nights every game, but this strategy works. And just as I post this, Bosh gets called for a charge.

Going to Virginia to have dinner and watch football with my cousins and family.

Now Wade gets T'd up, he can't do anything, Pacers are just clogging the lane.

Wade looks terrible out there right now.

Pacers just scored 35 on the Heat in a quarter and that's the most points allowed by them in a quarter this season, so yeah, looks like the absence of above average guys effected them greatly especially with LeBron and Wade struggling so much at the offensive end so far. Those two were just unbearable to watch so far. Shots not falling, turning the ball over so easily, not even moving without the ball. Just terrible. TJ Ford has been great off the bench, 13 pts, 5/6 shooting.

Mo probably has more trade value than Jamison, but that isn't saying much. I don't see anyone taking in their contracts, so the Cavs are probably going to be stuck with both for at least another year.

It takes freshmen wings more time to develop than other positions at the NCAA level IMO. And once Roy Williams realizes it's time for Marshall to start, and Zeller and Henson develop more confidence, defenses will not be able to zero in on Barnes. Then we will see him thriving more under this system and hopefully putting up some big numbers.

Domination. Celtics nearly scored 40 points in the first quarter, Hawks have no answer for them.

Chris Paul has proven everyone who jumped off his bandwagon that he's the best PG in the game. He is shooting around 90/50/40 for 17.5PPG, and is averaging over 10APG. He's also playing good defense, putting good pressure on the ball handler, playing the passing lanes well, and is playing great help side defense, all which is leading to his near 3SPG. Reminds me of a Rondo/Nash combo, except he's taking care of the ball better. He's playing incredible right now, gotta give him my vote.

How would people view their careers? Would they still be Hall of Famers? I remember Garnett saying he wished he came to Boston earlier in his career, but this would have also negated his MVP award among many other statistical achievements. Would the rings they could have potentially won together weigh more towards their legacy than the amount of stats they racked up as the clear cut best players on their respective teams?

Heartbreaking loss. We had the lead and completely blew it. A ton of positives came out of this game though. JeVale played his best game tonight, had a career high in rebounds and looked very good on offense. He didn't force anything. Arenas also played a great game, sucks that he made two bad plays at the end of overtime that resulted in us losing, but I had a feeling we'd lose anyway with the way Rip Hamilton shot the ball.

I'm game

Very solid win for us, I'm actually very satisfied with the end result despite Gano missing the field goal at the end of the game. Randy Moss was completely shut down in this game, huge props to Hall who had a great day in coverage. Our offensive line FINALLY had a good game all around. Committed very little penalties, gave Donovan good protection, and were very consistent throughout the game. Looking forward to facing the Vikings next week.

I see him more as an in game dunker...but of course, I did say that about Dwight so who knows, he probably can put on a show during All Star weekend.

Anyone else think this is going to be the closest race for ROY in recent memory? I'm hearing it every night these two (Wall and Griffin) play, "I gotta give it to him after seeing him play tonight." Both are phenomenal players that will be superstars very, very soon.

Such an incredible athlete. He stole the show tonight. Really sucks that the Clippers only have 1 win on the season still. All of those dunks are just nasty.

This is going to be the tightest race for ROY in a long, long time. Griffin is just a monster, he just keeps impressing. His statline is ridiculous.

Thread merged.

LaRon Landry and Carlos Rodgers aren't playing tomorrow with injuries they suffered, big loss for us. But, the Titans are the 2nd worst passing team in the league, 31st in time of possession. I'm expecting a good game from McNabb, Moss, and Banks. Titans have a terrible pass defense, and we should be seeing Banks play in the slot and Shanahan utilizing him in the screen game. Portis is also returning tomorrow, but Torain is out. Let's see how he does, we will definitely need him to pick up the blitz in the backfield. Not looking forward to seeing Chris Johnson running all over our defense, we always struggle against these quick RB's in the open field.
