UMG took that video down, but I found a non-youtube link: http://consequenceofsound.net/2010/11/17/check-out-dr-dre-feat-eminem-i-need-a-doctor/ Anyway, I'm not impressed, the production is really disappointing. The lyrics are great, though. BTW, Eminem totally ghost wrote Dre's verse.

It doesn't matter if THE MEDIA hasn't cared for or talked about Distant Relatives in awhile. Distant Relatives has no club bangers or radio hits, which is why it is easily forgotten. It's hard to move past Recovery when 'Love The Way You Lie' is on like every 5th song, at least here in the NY/NJ area. I am sure maybe half of casual rap fans have never heard of guys like Immortal Technique or MF Doom (who get 0 mainstream hype), yet I think they are worlds ahead of guys like Rick Ross in the rap department. As for Distant Relatives being revolutionary, there has never really been any high-profile rap and reggae stars hook up and create an album with a blend of the styles. Much like Guru (the rapper) did with mixing jazz and rap, Nas brought something totally new to the game. Even if you don't love it, Distant Relatives was something very unique and different, opening the doors for future collab's.

It's really not needed. Even without Ratliff or Bynum they still have somewhat decent size with Gasol and Odom (who rebounds like an elite PF) starting, and Caracter/Ebanks off the bench as well. I don't see the need in bringing someone in who could potentially disrupt chemistry as essentially a one-month rental.

Ha...Eminem has made more music, especially radio-friendly music, than Nas this year. There is a difference between quantity and quality. If you feel Recovery is better than Distant Relatives, cool, that's your opinion. But Recovery had a LOT more fluff than Distant Relatives did, and there was little in terms of variety or creativity. What Nas and Damian did was revolutionary, and pretty much each track is real solid, with a few songs that IMO contend for song-of-the-year (I LOVE As We Enter, Strong Will Continue, and My Generation).

Easily Scarface. Not even just because of his music, but because he's had that reputation for awhile now. Do like Bun B and Pimp C, though, but they just aren't quite on Scarface's level.

I've never really listened to J Cole, so I downloaded this album and I'm very surprised. Very smooth production which goes along well with his flow. I haven't listened to the entire mixtape yet, but when I take a good listen to it I'll write up a review.

Las Vegas or Orlando. When I turn 21 in a year, I'm sure I'll lean towards Vegas.

FG% is directly coorelated to scoring, and in Amare's case so is the TO's. The FG% is a result of less PnR oppertunities and an offensive game far more iso-oriented, and the TO's are also a result of him being placed in a greater amount of iso situations. A 10% drop in FG% and over 1.5 more turnovers is a MASSIVE difference in offensive effectiveness. I am sure both will get better as the season goes on, but there will be a significant hit to his stats in both categories by year's end.

Check the 10% difference in FG% and additional 1.5-2.0 turnovers, and that's where the absence of Nash can be felt.

Amazing game. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!!!

I think House would be a much better fit at PG than Arroyo. Arroyo is just as crappy of a defender, and unlike House he doesn't have 3pt range and is scared to take shots. House and Z fit the starting lineup so much better than Arroyo and Anthony. When Miller comes back I think it will be interesting to see if Spoelstra (or Riley) will slide Wade over to defend PG's and use the Wade/Miller/LeBron/Bosh/Whoever lineup. Hell, I think they could get away with it now, but instead of Miller sliding in James Jones into the lineup. But yes, as everyone else said, they need muscle inside. I disagree with BFT as I do think Dampier would do wonders. The area the Heat have consistently gotten murdered in has been the offensive glass. If there is one thing Dampier is good at, it's grabbing offensive boards or tipping those rebounds out to wing players. Also, he would give the Heat some much needed size, and he offers a lot more offense than Joel Anthony does (which isn't really saying anything at all). Size has KILLED the Heat all season long, and even if Dampier isn't the most talented big man out there, it's a lot harder to bully him around the basket than it is Haslem or Bosh (who have been playing far too many minutes at C).

I'm not really sure what you're getting at. After last night's game the team is 6th in the league in Ortg, scoring over 102PPG on 47% shooting from the field, 39% from 3. They have scored over 100pts in 5 of the last 6 games, and shot over 50% from the field in 3 of those. They are taking nearly 10 more free throws per game than their opponents as well. Keep in mind, that's with a totally new, still-developing team without their 4th best offensive player. Offensively the have been fine. They have not things in a particularly pretty manner, but they have been effective and things are only going to get better. Spoelstra still hasn't implented many set plays, and with chemistry still an issue, I don't expect them to be the Boston Celtics or Los Angeles Lakers in terms of offensive fluidity yet. But, they don't have to be yet, and every game it is getting better. Getting killed on the defense glass and overall talent at the PG and C positions are the only issues that won't sort themselves out. IMO I think the PG play will be good enough with Arroyo/House, but Riley needs to call Dampier ASAP.

Not true, it's just that tonight Wade was horrific so the offense was more Bron-centric than usual. Wade has been averaging 26PPG on the best efficiency of his career, the team was shooting over 40% from 3 before tonight's game WITHOUT Mike Miller, and Bosh is only just starting to hit an offensive groove. So to say the team is only in the game when LeBron is going off or if Haslem is hitting 15 footers is ridiculous.

The offense is fine. Before tonight they were 9th in the league in offense, and that's with the Big 3's chemistry still being shaky, and without their 4th best player. Tonight they dropped over 100pts on 50%+ shooting against arguably the best defensive team in the league. Defensively, they need to make some adjustments, and they badly need Dampier. The Haslem/Bosh frontcourt getting over 20 minutes each night is killing them inside. They desperately need depth, size, rebounding (especially on the offensive glass), and a little offense around the rim from the C position. Dampier, as a 1-year rental, could provide some of that.

Can someone hook me up with the explicit?

I know, which is why I said it was very clear this game who the better team is. Of course since Boston won the game they were the better team this game, I wouldn't make a statement so obvious. Boston is a better team. BTW, forgot to add in my last post, Dampier needs to be signed ASAP.

Neither play good defense...

Haven't seen the box score, but I did catch the entire game. Just a few quick notes... -Wade was god-awful, one of the worst games I've ever seen from him. He was literally invisible on offense, and it seemed like every time the Heat were making some kind of run, he either made a bad turnover or missed the shot. Defensively, I have NO idea why they kept matching him up with Pierce. Pierce is too big and strong for Wade to defend, and he burned Wade 3-4x on simple pump fakes. Also, it seemed like everytime Wade made a bad play on the offense end, he would look at the refs, not get back on defense, and 3 seconds later Ray Allen would bury a wide-open 3 pointer. Just a horrific game from him. -Speaking of Ray Allen, he was amazing tonight. When he is hot, the Celtics are almost unbeatable. -LeBron and Bosh both played pretty well. Bosh's defense was bad, but he didn't look like a broken man playing against KG tonight, and he gave them something on offense. LeBron was great, but he took too long to take over the game. When he is aggressive, good things happen. -Heat's defense was attrocious most of the game. Offensively they were fine, they scored efficiently with their leading scorer having a nightmare game. On defense they were just awful. Little energy, missing rotations, and not using their athleticism to disrupt the offense like they had the first few games. -I think it was very, very clear who the better team was this game. The Celtics came with far more intensity, better balance, and played great basketball.

I don't think there's anyway the Rockets give up Scola for Love, let alone along with Lowry and other pieces.

You can read my earlier posts regarding the 08 Celtics vs. the 3-peat Lakers, but as for the 2003 Spurs, it would be an interesting series. I do think, however, the 08 Celtics were a far, far more balanced team. That Spurs team relied on Duncan to do superhuman things to carry them as Parker and S-Jax were only 2nd year players, Manu was a rookie, and both Kerr and Robinson were about to retire. That post-season Manu, Jackson, Parker, Rose and Bowen all shot below 42% from the field, Kerr played in less than half those post-season games, and no one else on the team was contributing. Prime Duncan was indeed a better player than 08 KG, but if there has ever been a PF in the last decade that could at least slow Duncan a little, it would be KG. Offensively, KG would also make Duncan work, and would take him away from the basket, possibly limiting Duncan's impact on the boards and defensively around the rim a bit. Also, even though Parker was probably better that season, I don't think he was much better than 08 Rondo, and defensively I think Rondo would have a better chance at keeping Parker in front of him than vice versa. Bowen would definitely give Pierce problems, but Ray would also give Jackson major problems. I think the Celtics had a much stronger bench as well. Overall, after Duncan, the Spurs would have a lot of problems finding offense against the Celtics. The Celtics would also have problems, but they had a lot more offensive weapons and an equally impressive defense. I'd take the 08 Celtics in a 7-game series.

That's horrible... ...I'll be back in 10min, gotta go smoke a Newport...
