The Regime

lol @ this officiating

We will more than likely see Kobe matched up with Ray to start the third. Our big guys have done a good enough job in the paint to make Rondo think twice before he drives to the hole.

That could be a momentum shifter. Not bad considering the circumstances. A 27 point outburst by Ray Allen and a quite half for Kobe and we're only down 6.

Laker backcourt play has been pathetic.

[expletive] Farmar, [expletive] Shannon, who gave them the green light to shoot away. I hope Phil pulls both of them. We need to stop losing sight of Ray Allen, that's twice now where we've lost track of him. Laker bench has really low defensive IQ.

Bynum needs more minutes.

Celts are pushing on every miss, we need to do a better job getting back on defense. Sloppy offense pretty much ever since Bynum left.

Also I'm not sure how legit that website is, it looks pretty iffy to me.

Here's the commercial they played during the finals. It's not much, but yeah. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3exctX2OdqA

Ravens at 90 overall, damn. A generous 3 point boost after adding Boldin.

Is there any other team that has made the finals with a negative ft differential? I think we might be the first team to ever do that.

Ray Allen can't even stay up with Kobe, he was hand checking him everytime Kobe made a move. I like what Tony Allen did though, he plays smart aggressive defense and even when he gets beat he doesn't give up on the play. I don't recall Pierce guarding him a whole bunch, he was mostly there just to help. But as Brandon said there is no one that can stop Kobe, the entire defense needs to be well aware of Kobe's every move to have a chance. Kobe beat Celtic defenders to the hole with ease in game 1, in '08 we couldn't buy a basket in the paint.

wtf, I'll pretend like I didn't hear that.

LOL dude okay, it's so pointless arguing against you, your knowledege for football is far more advanced than mine. You bring up the arguement about Ryan Matthews but I cant bring up Kindel, you say Jamal Williams isn't important yet the Chargers lose is a "fluke game". All Ryan Matthews has to do in grab the ball and run, really? I should be a NFL running back I can easily do that. I don't even know where you are going with this argument any more. I'll get back to you tomorrow, I'm just too tired to go back and forth with someone who isn't going to accept reality.

You get my point, he was left uncontested and he missed it. A guy his size should go right up and dunk it every time, he's gased and doesn't have the explosiveness any more. Btw, are you referring to Pau's dunk over Amare, because I don't remember him missing any wide open dunk.

I agreed with you, we both made bold predictions.

LOL.

Pryce started 7 games, no guy who starts less than half the games is the cornerstone for any defense, that argument goes right out the window. Stop underrating the secondary, Foxworth probably had one of his best individual seasons of his career and Webb is an emerging star, I guess you'll have to wait just to find out. As for the Sergio Kindel, he can have success because he's in a good system. Your quick to predict that Ryan Matthews will have a stellar season but Kindel can't, gtfo. Kindel was a beast coming out of college and had it not been for rumors that he might need microfracture surgery he would have easily been a mid first round pick. He coming from the same system that produced Brian Orakpo who just so happened to make the Pro Bowl in his first season. Yeah sure there is a learning curve but if a player is put into the right system then he can produce. Just look at the talent on Baltimore's d-line, Ngata demands a double team, Suggs demands a double team at times, and Baltimore loves to blitz so that will give Kindle plenty our opportunities. What was Baltimores one weakness last season offensively? They needed a WR who could move the chains. Derrick Mason was productive but he never demanded a double team, but Boldins presence is going to completely change the way teams gampeplan for their offense. Stop downplaying the Boldins presence, the Ravens already have one of the best running attacks in the entire league and now Flacco has a whole bunch of weapons that he can throw the ball to. Boldin is sure handed and a guy who can get you yac, something that Baltimore missed last season. By the numbers Baltimore was the best team at stopping the run and we all know how important that is in winning games. You don't think losing Jamal Williams is important? Who torched them in the playoffs, the Jets, and how did they beat them, by running the ball all over them. The Chargers still haven't addressed their issues at nose tackle and until they do they wont get anywhere. YOU DON'T REPLY BACK IN CAPS OKAY?! It's pointless arguing with you. And btw lol at the Cowboys getting to the SuperBowl, good luck with that.

I could see him having a Tyreke Evans type impact. I didn't think Tyreke would average 20 pgg in his first year but he did (averaged a little over 16 ppg in college). 21 ppg for a rookie that averaged 16.6 ppg in college, that's a bold prediction but it can happen. The Wizards don't have a lot of scoring options so they'll have to rely on Wall to put up points. I'm thinking something more along the lines of 20 ppg, 6 apg, 3 rpg, 1 spg, 4 tpg.
