What a great move by Pierce, he's playing great so far.

Wade is averaging nearly 27PPG the last two months, and the Heat and Bulls are both tied in the conference. Noah and Boozer have missed 20 or so games already this season, yet Rose has lead them to a top 3 record in the East. I think that's more than enough to get him past LeBron in the MVP race.

Terrible offensive execution by the C's, 13-2 run by the Lakers.

What a terrible end to the quarter for the Celtics.

He's not a scrub, he normally plays pretty well on defense, and has a nice back to the basket game.

Did Shaq get booed by the Lakers crowd? I missed it. -_-

OKC couldn't buy a rebound, that is going to hurt them in the playoffs. Still got a long way to go before I consider them a contender.

Durant = clutchhh

Terrific steal by Westbrook.

Green needs to stop shooting threes.

I don't understand why Nenad isn't just guarding Big Z straight up, it seems like he's afraid big Z will take him of the dribble or something....

Feels great, this is what happens when you shoot three's almost every possession.

What a game for Cousins, nearly posting a triple double. Kings beat the champs last night and the hottest team in the NBA tonight, pretty impressive.

Cousins with 19pts, 6rebs, 5 asts at the half. Kid is dominating out there.

Ouch, this got out of hand fast.

The great thing about Stephen is his ability to distribute the ball. The Bulls don't have a good distributor outside of Rose. But even though Jackson is a decent defender and 3 point shooter that can create his own hot, his FG percentage is atrocious. I would not give up a guy like Taj Gibson for him to be honest. I think he would be good in Chicago's system, and can probably be a more effective player despite his numbers going down. But the cost for a guy like him is too much. He tends to put up either big or at the very least solid numbers, but doesn't do so efficiently. So unless the Bulls, who are going to have to match salaries by adding either Watson, Korver, or Brewer to the deal, are getting something significant back, using Gibson would be a bad idea. Is he the missing piece to this Bulls squad? No. I would much rather like to see them go after OJ Mayo, who would be great for them immediately and long term. He can spread the court and would play a role similar to Ben Gordon a few years ago. Memphis doesn't have an offense like Chicago, so I'm sure his numbers would go up. Right now Mayo can't spot up and consistently get good looks because everything is iso based. In Chicago, both Rose and Boozer draw double teams, and with the way Deng has shot the ball, adding another solid 3 point shooter would be great for them. Transition and finding the open man in the half court would easily get him at the very least the same amount of shots he's getting now. But I'm still not convinced it would be enough to compete with Boston and Miami. They would be considered a top team for sure, but I just cannot see them beating Boston or Miami in a 7 game series.

UGH Only reason why I'm watching now is to see Greivis Vasquez...

Everyone looks so tired out there, very sloppy play coming out of our starters. Ugh.

He's like a Josh Freeman or a Big Ben. I hope the Skins draft him despite drafting a QB before out of Auburn (Jason Campbell). Freeman matured in such a short time which makes me think Cam can get it down. His motion looks fine to me, and he's obviously more mobile. Take into account his size, star power, and success and it becomes difficult to find someone to compare him to accurately. Tebow is probably the closest, except Newton seems more talented. I doubted Cam before because he came out of nowhere as a prospect, but after looking at him a little more in depth, he seems really special.

Terrible first quarter, we are giving up so many points. We need JaVale, badly.

Pinned. Now I can talk to myself after every Maryland game. :glasses:

Love XV, good up and coming artist. Vizzy Zone is sick, I loved every song off it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsZUSP1p20s

Then stop posting in here. Go watch basketball wives.

The thing about Abbot is that he's not saying Kobe isn't a great shooter in the clutch, but on a relative basis, he's just average. 31.1% isn't terrible, but only slightly above league average. The only two players who are actually "good" on this list in the clutch are Paul and Anthony according to his numbers. He does make some intelligent points, but it doesn't paint the whole picture. Clutch is much more that making shots in close games when your team is down 2. Clutch is also making the shot to stop a 2nd or 3rd quarter run, it's getting those shots in to put that team to rest halfway through the 4th. It's making the shots to get your team back in the game, even if another teammate makes the shot that puts your team in the lead. There's a lot more to it than just hitting a buzzer beater, and that's not presented in this article. He did mention that Kobe isn't the best guy to take the last shot throughout his career, but he seems to be focusing a lot more on events that have happened 5 years ago. Last year Kobe was great in the clutch and made a lot of buzzer beaters. Yeah, he hasn't been the best over his career (numbers don't lie in this instance), but it's ridiculous to say you don't want him in critical situations. The thing about this clutch talk is that we only seem to remember the good times. If you have followed Kobe the way RD or most Laker fans have, you'd be fooling yourself to say he doesn't take bad shots in the clutch, and has indeed missed the majority of them ('09 Finals being the most recent instance). Which in turn hurts his efficiency late in games as well as statistical value. You could say that he's forced to take these shots due to personnel or the fact that he won't settle for anything less than the last shot (due to his selfish nature). If you've seen most of his games throughout his career, you would say it's a healthy dose of both. And because of this, he will never be statistically great in this aspect.
