i dont see either of those team in the eastern finals
maybe next year

I have Josh Smith, Chauncey Billups, and Kevin Durant in my fantasy league. I'm in playoffs right now and you set line-ups weekly. I have all 3 activated into my line-up. All 3 have gotten injured in the past 3 days. Win.

Speaking of Fantasy...I went from last to 4th in my league LOL

PLAYOFFS HERE I COME!

Florida SHOWDOWN tomorrow

shit is going down

meh, meaningless regular season game really....

Fucking just got back from emergency room, playing drop in basketball earlier reach for the ball only to watch it hit the wall change direction and snap my pinky finger, complete dislocation had the doc pop it in place, would have pulled a Kobe and popped it in myself but I wasn't sure if it was broken didn't wanna damage it more.
No basketball for a month, this blows probably gain like 5 pounds or something, lol

Basketball talk, Chris Paul is my guy but he's fckin pissing me off lately, dudes playing like Carter was for months prior to leaving the Raptors. For a guy who's known for his ferocity and competitiveness on and off the court he's playing like a bitch, I'm am very disappoint especially after the awesome start they had this season
Posted via RS Mobile

playing like a bitch /begging for a trade is a trend since Carter

I know what you mean, I hate that when it happens ><

But its usually my thumb, and it keeps me away from playing pick up ball for several weeks. But most of the time I just tape it, and go at it.

Cant just stop playng bball because of a minor injury :fullofwin:

^ ah you do the Mikael Pietrus thumb wrap job eh, I've had a jammed thumb few times myself that shit sticks for weeks, much different than rest of the fingers, more ligaments I guess thats why. But this is a worse than a jammed thumb though, complete separation of the bone between the joints, ill post pic of xray later brrrooo to show youuuu how minor it is, :hotbaby:
I just bought myself a pretty badass finger splint from shoppers, $3.99 budday!

I'm just glad its only a clean dislocation, no fracture or break, and last time when I tore a ligament in my ring finger, couldnt do shit for 2 months that sucked



fcking Carter started 2 trends then, brought dunking back and now players crying for trades playing like bitches


EDIT:: check out the x ray pic

LMAO Miami :failed: :fullofwin:

Miami Heat Sucks. Don't give a shit if they have Lebron, Wade and Bosh. Magic just came back down from 24points fueled by the onslaught of 3pointers to beat them :fuckyea:

hahahah...

cant even hold a 24 point lead

pathetic

even though the magic won, they are probably the least scary team out of the top 4 in the east

@Gspec: you win! that looks really bad. Hope the healing process goes well


\Cant believe they gave Bosh the 3 again haha

Wow, Jason Richardson was crazy.

I like Orlando, Orlando has looked weak on occasions when they've lost to mediocre teams, but then again they blow out mediocre teams by 20+ on everyday basis and almost nobody cares. They have shown consistency against top teams as well, Dwights been playing like an MVP lately and when the 3pt game is on, there's nobody better than the Magic, saw that tonight.

Wade is the most clutch player on Miami, yet I haven't seen him given the opportunity to take the game winner even once yet...Not sure what the thinking is behind that, but I don't think it's a coincidence that they've lost all their games that are within 5 points or w/e. Give the guy the fucking ball, he's proven he can score in the clutch. Tired of LeBron missing shots in the dying seconds. If the last shot is going to go to LeBron, he needs to find a way to get to the hoop. Stupid jumpers make no sense for a guy who is most likely quicker AND stronger than his defensive opponent.

And for fucks sake, hit your fucking free throws.

:woot2: As much as i like lebron this is so true. Guy can't hit a clutch shot in dying seconds if the team depended on him, the most we've seen was either layups or dunks

+1

Lebron should be driving to the hoop looking to dish out or to draw a foul. Let wade take the jumpers

LeBron is the MVP for a reason guys!!To hit those BIG shots.....or should I say miss those big shots... Give him a break... LOL :troll:

That's LeBron's game... dunks or layups....he's no "finesse" type player but all strength..

If he was kobe/durant's size, do you guys think lebron would still be as "effective" now? I'm just curious.

Raptors vs nets right now, Who is watching!!!!!

^ noooo, Lebron wouldnt be Lebron if he didnt have finesse, that's exactly what makes him a unique player, finesse combined with strength...


What is your definition of finesse though ? Finesse would be things like footwork, soft hands finishing nicely at the basket with a layup or dunk, getting through guys knowing where to go in a smooth manner, using your picks well etc....

He has all that, and that's exactly why he's so good, there are plenty of guys in the NBA his size and strength they just dont have that extra edge that Lebron has.

I totally agree with you though on power, he is a running back and plays like a running back when he drives the lane tucks the basketball like a RB would a football when smashing through the defensive line.
But once he gets to the hoop he can finesse layup over or around people or just dunk, up to him.

He has point guard like passing ability, sees the floor extremely well, rebounds very well, and we know he can average 35-40 a game if he wanted too. If he was skinnier like Kobe, I think the only difference in his game would be rebounding would get worse, I still think he would try to penetrate strong like he does now

Don't get me wrong, I never said he sucks..of course he's got talent.

But to me..(maybe I just don't see a lot of heat games lately) but I rarely see him post up/fade away (like how MJ does..i enjoy watching the D try and block it.).. When I catch a glimpse of their games, all I see is him take 3s and dunks....I rarely hear about him being "clutch" too.

Again, these are just my opinion so please don't hate... lol

Everyone just lets him do whatever he wants when he drives down the lane as that freight train would hurtttt tt..
As for your guess that he will still take it strong..i guess we will never find out.. but I don't think he'll be as effective. Sorry LBJ fans!!!

Anyway..i don't want to get too deep on this as the LBJ fans here will rip me to pieces hahah..

Go Lakers ;)

lol...raptors/nets gets to play out of country instead of playing at home...= they both suck
