Uh oh shots fired.

Damn homie that sucks.

Yeah he'd have to play Cleveland 4 times a year since it's the same division.

That's my boy but..eh..I don't know about that statement Rashad.

Don't talk about someone's mom in their presence, period.

LeBron 1st. Anybody else a DISTANT second. Durant, Howard, Blake, Wade, Melo..all distant seconds.

Specificty in what you're calling "value" would clear up what the title and topic is about. If you're going by percentage of team's points I'm sure he's on the other side of the value scale. Seeing the title I personally thought it was involving monetary metrics. End of post using unnecessarily lengthy words.

I am flabbergasted at those two plays. [mark jackson]maaah guudness![/mark jackson]

I'm in Dallas and it's all LA channels.

This looks very helpful. Is it " legal" though?

Who cares? I know I don't. Interesting read aside, it's mostly speculation. Let's just worry about what he does on the court for his team, not whether he and Riley are getting along.

Anyone that hasn't recognized Wade's great career so far is an idiot. I think in the minds of most he is placed exactly where he should be .. slightly behind Kob as best SG for a couple of years until he takes the lead at that position.

I don't know if you read the post fully or not but I said the assists go with how many points were scored, not specifically how difficult the shot was. A half court or full court shot still counts as 3 points no matter what. Therefore they would net 1.5 assists to the passer. 1 point = .5 assists in any situation. I'm pretty sure I mapped that out completely. THEN I said that change is highly unlikely so I went to 1 assist per whole possession that led to two or more points. That was mapped out too. No talk of difficulty in an arbitrary sense. No judge (statistician) determining the number of assists based on how difficult he perceived the conversion to be. That was your suggestion, which has a 0% chance. I would say each my suggestions has probably been kicked around the league rules committee before (so many of Steve Nash's points lead to threes or fouls where his pass clearly led to the frees). I'm absolutely sure I'm not the first to think of either suggestion.

I am for .5 assists. I am actually for them also in the case when the assist led to a three. Shouldn't the passer be credited for the player they passed to getting more points? So my thing is every pass that leads up to "points" gets the passer .5 assists: • Two Point Shot = 1 assist • Three Point Shot = 1.5 assists • One Free = .5 assists • Two Frees = 1 assist • Three Frees = 1.5 assists • Two Point with And-1 converted = 1.5 assists • Three Point with And-1 converted = 2 assists Of course this will never happen, but I think it makes sense. If a pass leads to an And-1 with the fouled player converting the free, I feel the passer should get 1.5 assists. Maybe what they can do that is simpler is change it to where if a pass leads to two or more points in a possession, in any situation (three pointer, free throws), the passer gets an assist: • Two Point = 1 assist • Three Point = 1 assist • One Free = 0 assists • Two Frees = 1 assist • Three Frees = 1 assist • Two Point with And-1 (converted or not) = 1 assist • Three Point with And-1 (converted or not) = 1 assist No assists on tech frees, obviously. Only for frees on a drawn foul of a defender.

Lakers going in to the season. We have to see if all the pieces fit right for the Heat. And they still have a very tough Division with the very hungry Orlando and Atlanta teams .. teams that want that playoff success that they've been tasting. Remember Boston was not looking too good after the All Star break but they surged and got back to the Finals. I cant call a cake walk for them just yet.

I didn't believe when a buddy of mine told me he saw this. That is truly sad. When a great friend of mine was fired from my job last year I didn't contemplate quitting and not working anymore all together. I love what I do. I was more hurt in my situation then Mo was I bet. I wanted to leave my job, but go WORK SOMEWHERE ELSE. I don't get wantin to retire. Sounds like a douche move to me.

I was going 120 the other day. But there weren't a lot of cars around. And it was only for about 5 seconds.

I think at some point I had your number. I don't see it now but I'll hit you up.

Hoping to see it opening night.

Exactly. I've been telling people. They don't want that Kobe-syndrome that everyone puts on him. Plus Wade already has one. I'd think he'd rather get one with anyone but 'Bron.

Eddy Curry-type players for sure. I think Gilbert and J.R. will be fine because they make enough and they make what they're worth (for the most part). I'm looking at Drew Gooden. He doesn't seem to be all there. Knicks players are always going to be in this so wont mention them. But it seems to usually be big guys.

He titles the video "The Secret to Stopping Kobe" toward the end And he's only showing the makes and saying Kobe shot it every time he brought the ball up, which is just not true. This guy will get a lot of hits to his site wi people saying how retarded he is and how smart he is not.

Get this guy out of here. If he thinks it's that easy to stop Kobe then he's just dumb. Kobe'll score within the offense when necessary. It just wasn't necessary in Game 1. And he's looking at this in hindsight. Try game planning against him on the fly.

I guess I called this series absolutely incorrectly

Celts came out like champs on a mission today. Making the Magic look like a JV team.
