NBA discussion thread

I wonder why. hehehe

Q-Rich is a one dimensional gunner who plays on a team with a point guard that doesnt pass, it was doomed from the start. Proof again that Isiah is a hopeless GM.

how many trades do you think the knicks will pull this summer?

They will probably try and break their own record, but they have so many shite players with huge contracts it might be hard to move them. The real killer though is the draft picks they gave to the Bulls for Eddy Curry, one of which turned out to be the #2 pick.

Heat lost, but then again, if you expected them to win this game then you aren't very smart.

How nasty was that block by Ben on Shaq? Shit i dont think i have ever seen Shaq stuffed like that before, Big Bens head was up nearly level with the rim to block that.

if teh pistons come back and win the series... that could be the play to have changed it. before that game big ben had ONE block in the series... for a defensive player of the year that aint good. but that block was sick. good to see the pistons playing like they care again.

Agreed Royke, Wallace was back to his best defensively last night. It will be even tougher for them to take the next game in Miami though.

On a side note it seems like tanjot has gone fishing with Vince. 😗

😆

yeah i was thinking about that yesterday... i was gonna say summin about it but thought i'd let us all enjoy the peace and quiet😄

Me too. 😆

ooo shhit, Thomas dunked on the whole city of dallas!

Thomas is going berzerk on the Mavs. Somebody stop him!!!

This makes me think: Bell has been getting praise all post season, but Thomas has been the real savior for the Suns these playoffs (IMO). He bailed them out of losing in 6 to the Lakers, has hit numerous other big shots, and now he is pulling the Suns ahead of the Mavericks in game 5.

Btw, does Raja Bell always have to have a scowel on his face?

Bell is a pussy, i thought he was a decent defender before the playoffs started but he has flopped more the Ginobli. I cant stand players that flop its getting as bad as football (soccer), what sucks worse is that the refs are rewarding players for falling on the ground instead of trying to stop your man . After all isnt that what defense is supposed to be about - stopping the player you're guarding from scoring?

It looks like the officials are doing everything they can to keep the Suns 1 point back. It's really frustrating.

And to the Bell is a pussy comment...he's a pussy...in the playoffs, while 24 other teams are hardasses at home, watching Bell play.

Looks like Dirk is trying to put an end to Thomas's heroics by going crazy himself. He definitely decided to top 20 this game (15 in a row for the Mavs in the 4th) 😉

Noone is going to beat the Mavs if Dirk scores 50 points. Thats just ridiculous. Suns needs to win game 6 now

GO SUNS

Dirk is just freakish, he isnt especially fast or athletic but dude can just flat out score. Incredible game by the big guy.

Yeah, Dirk was killing. Plus the Suns didn't score in the last 4 minutes (with the exception of 1 meaningless basket with 10 ticks remaining). Did Dirk outscore the Suns in the 4th? I think he did.

You know it's funny, people talk about where would the Suns be without Nash or Marion or Bell or Barbosa, Hell, where would they be without Thomas!? Sitting at home after the 1st round that's where they'd be!

Anyway, Dirk came back to throw it right in Thomas' face. The whole time I was yelling at the screen saying c'mon Dirk you're better than him you're an MVP candidate, you have to go back at him, you can't just let him punk you like that. Well, needless to say he answered the call and stepped up like he was suppose to.

So Mavs win and Dirk scores 50, now on to Phoenix. I hope they can wrap it up there but I just can't help but see it goin 7 and Dallas winning at home.

A couple of things that still bothered me though in this game were missed jump shots, particularly Howard. I don't really care if he misses when he's wide open but I have a problem with him trying to shoot over people, drive it to the basket Dammit! Everyone time he jacks up a shot I hold my breath.

One more thing could Charles and Kenny be anymore wrong. I'm starting to think that they would have made horrible coaches, they've been wrong so many times in these playoffs that it's riDirkulous! They keep saying that Diop doesn't make a difference in this series, they couldn't be more wrong! He's the X-factor in this series, because Phoenix's weakness is not having size inside. If you don't play him you obviously miss taking advantage of that weakness.

Anyways, on to Phoenix! Go Mavs! clap
