Reggie Miller referring to Mike James: "more huskier"
Reggie is more stupider
Wrong.

He’s more stupidier.

james > lucas..all day

3 is only good for 3s and james does that just as good

deng is clutch tonite
Wtf, is this Blog a Bull or the Heat blog?
Without Derrick, it's just an average blog
lol, you ain't kiddin'
Haven't seen a whole lot of Heat talk
I meant cause no one was commenting
JAMESANITY

the hype is real folks…the hype is real

Close this one out
Mike James...

…. I saw him play for the hornets a few years ago , and he couldn’t do anything right…He’s got it figured out now,,,beautful pass

its an amazing story

he bounced around from team to team, struggled in the dleague for a while, graduated from some highschool….oh wait hes not asian…never mind

and his last name isn't conducive to being placed in other words
But did he go to Harvard?
but does he have 9 turnovers?
d league make you hungry
Wilcox had a legit beef there...

But damn he stoopid.

seriously...u know booz is declining when chris wilcox is looking like a beast
I knew he was declining when he started putting shit on his head to cover his bald melon.
if they release mike james again

im gonna go apeshit. that’s a POINT GUARD. not CJ watson, who has clearly shown he is more of a SHOOTING guard (which is not a bad thing at all, TBH).

and definitely not the turd, obviously.
cj is fine

what the fuck is lucas doing….it was between lucas and mike james, and they picked lucas….what the fuck

so true

cj is a 2 guard. he doesn’t run the team well, but he can score and shoot.

Let's not get down on CJ

He’s still really good, and when we have Derrick, I still think he’s the better backup. But when Derrick’s out, you can jst see that we need someone to make plays from that position

he is not really good

good 20% of the time
average 40%
fucken terrible 40%

yeah....I agree

He’s a good backup PG

I'm gonna resent JL3 for the rest of the season after James gets cut

This dude would be nice as an emergency pg for the rest of the season. Especially with our injury problems

i think the bulls can sign james to a contract...

and move CJ to SG. make Mike james the new pg. Will that work?

Don't you have only so many 10-day contracts

Before you have to sign em? Thought I heard that somewhere

think you're right
:(

i want MIKE JAMES BITCH!!!

Mike FUCKING James

I just turned on the game. How are we doing?

ehh

Kinda sloppy..weird game

all day i dream about skittles

-Drose

damn, that was the first shot by Pierce in a long time
It makes me sad to know Paul Pierce passed Larry Bird
me too, me too
Come on Kyle you gotta make those
Now's the time

to finish them off

Bulls PGs +/-

CJ= -6
Carlton= 0

MIKE JAMES= +16

DAMN....

it’s all on display!

Damn Korver but keep shooting!
Noah just can't quite finish but he got fouled at least
well at the line eihter
you are way too used to watching lebron james and dwayne wade

normal players wont normally finish when being pushed and being underneath the rim

yeah, I'll take Noah though, who do you want Joel, Pitt or Curry? I'm thinking Joel.
Mike James better stay on the team after this
Kyle 1-10 on 3s

in the last 2 games against the Celtics

Which means he'll go 6-8 against New Jersey.
he sure knows when to show up
Shit, come on Noah
noah's been a boss for the past month
Noah just say "fuck you pussy"? lol
wtf kg and pierce

were like holding boozer down. classy.

Ronnie Brewer is

0-3 shooting, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 0 steals, 1 block — and +14 in 20 minutes. Either he’s a defensive whirlwind, or you can’t tell anything from plus/minus for one game.

Pretty much shut down Ray
Why can't it be both?
Right, it's probably both.
He's working his ass off chasing Ray

And doing a good job. So…not a crappy game actually, though you can’t tell anything from +- for one game.

LOL@ Rondo Sucks chant
RONDO SUCKS!! RONDO SUCKS!! RONDO SUCKS!!
Reggie: "This should be a free ball for Rondo to go after"

Bulls Crowd: “RONDO SUCKS! RONDO SUCKS! RONDO SUCKS!”
/Reggie shuts up

RONDO SUCKS CHANTS!!!!!!

Swwweeeeeet

MIKE MOTHAFUCKIN JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking James is dealing tonight!!!!!
love that sidearm rocket pass
Pacers finally found someone they could beat.
And BARELY

Game was pretty good

What, you weren't watching the Bulls?
Flipped over when the Bulls came on

And kept the other game on espn scoreboard

JAMESANITY

jl3 sucks

fuck rondo

I love the chant
should have been a "FUCK RONDO" chant
its a process :D
im all for blogging fuck rondo

but i kinda hate people who curse at ball games, kids man…

what were Bulls fans jsut chanting?

I signed on just to ask. could hear it on TV but had no idea what it was

Rondo Sucks!
Can we keep Mike James this time?
Can we keep him? Please, JR? Pleeeeeeeeease?
Ten day contract, right?

If Rose comes back healthy, I doubt they will keep him.

Ronda getting clowned.
And you can trace this destruction right back to Wilcox...

Poor Doc Rivers.

Pass that rock Mike James do it again baby!
Beautiful cut, beautiful pass

Mike James really impressing me with his court vision tonight. He takes WAYYYYYY too long to get into our sets though, so many shots at the end of the clock/24 second violations when he’s in.

cant blame him. Seriously, how much time did have to practice vs JLIII, lol
the reason they kept jl3 over james

was just cuz jl3 knew the sets being around the team so much and james didnt, but thats dumb. James is clearly teh better talent

that's like saying a turd is better than a pile of puke

but you might be right I guess.

BaB's dream chant
"Fuck you Rondo, clap clap clapclapclap"

Now THATS the chant

Nothing better than our third PG saying

FUCK (you) RONDO!

Mike fucking James BITCH!

Mike James > Rondo
The Crowd Yelling Rondo Suck.
Mike James, bitch.
Ball movement baby!
Pierce sucks tonight, well his shot does, can't get it to go down
How long has it been since they scored?
exceptional teamwork!

wut.

wrong post to reply to D:
of course it was horse's rear
Broncos fan

Horse’s rear

lol’d

Rondo getting John Cena heat?

But without the dozen screaming girls near the cameras…

double double deng!

20-10

That's okay

good help by D.

Lol @ Miller: who needs Derrick Rose

Just shut the fuck up, reggie

Droppin dimes!
Clips at Portland, is Aldridge out?

should be a good one

OK, so why does the Bulls passing game look so adept tonight

Is it more because they’re coming together while moving the Ball?
Or the Celtics are fossilizing as we speak?

Mike James bitch
Some of out its the c's zone

2 quick passes beats a zone.

i hate jermaine oneal

what a bitch. there was no way that other one was a charge, considering he was in the air at hte time.

O'neal get bowled over by..

..Mike James.

James like Lin getting a little out of control at the end still solid game
between thibs and doc you cant understand one damn word in the 4th
Utter frontcourt domination today.

The entire Bulls starting front court has double doubles.

and deng's is with assists!
Who would have thought that Deng would have back to back 10+ assists games?
First time since Toni Kukoc

a Bulls forward has back to back 10+ assists.

I read that on twitter.

i just noticed this, best sig ever
Thanks!

People thought he was actually banned when they read my sig. Made me feel proud.

Boozer, Noah, and Deng all with double-doubles.
"That's exactly probably what he was saying..." - Reggie Miller
I need one 3 from Kyle
KG tired, no threat to take it to the rim and shot is short
James making questionable decisions now
And he draws a foul as you type that.
and misses a foul shot as you type that
thibs all on the court ready to smack booz lol
James right down the center
d league makes you hungry
reggie calls it husky.
LOL, that too if you are not careful
Damnit Booze

SET THE SCREEN MAN!

Damn, Thibs on the floor - 6 men on the floor lmao
Deng is turning into a point forward that can't dribble lol!

impressive back to back 10+ assist games

counted that, tough shot by Pierce
They counted that Pierce bullshit??
That was an awful call on the continuation

He took at least one whole step and then shot after the foul. Ugh

That was not a foul
no, and definitely not continuation

he took like 3 steps after deng “bumped” him

Does Mike James just look nervous all the time to anyone else?
to me he looks like hes trying not to get pissed

When he doesn’t get calls he looks weird

Thats more like offensive foul on Pierce with the elbow WTF
Pierce gets a bullshit continuation
Rondo....boooooo...!!!
Noah reaching in
That was actually a foul..
Where's the chant?

RONDO SUCKS!! RONDO SUCKS!! RONDO SUCKS!!

Rondo is a low post prescence?

Huh??

Only against Mike James
either I'm high

or the announcers actually believe that, and I don’t bake…

he can post up pgs well
Here comes the Madden assisting comebacks
ThIs Is ThE EaStErN CoNfEreNcE FiNaLs!!11!!

- Reggie Miller

LOL @ the "and one" yell

when the ball didn’t even go toward the basket

yeah i caught that too haha
Luol at 42 minutes with 2.5 minutes left.
Boozer with the "and 1" yell
These last few plays...Thibs was marching up and own the court yapping...dude is intense
not a good shot by James but Rondo could not take advantage
not much time on shot clock. bulls not moving well without the ball. too used to having Rose make a big play in those situations
ah, well not his fault then
Deng should have driven that to the basket
Yeah, wide open lane

But he was shooting regardless. Probably expected someone there

Luol at 48 minutes with 2.5 minutes left
Please no overtime.
luol was so wide open....DRIVE
Boston always hangs around until the end

stupid cockroaches

So does Reggie think he's on the Boston network?
bad shot by deng

too much time on the clock

Boozer with the T-Wolves Kevin Garnett classic line.
is james d always this bad?

Seems like he gets into “I’m taking this shot cuz I have too many assists” mode at times

Well I have to go eat lunch. I expect lots of funny things to read when I return.
Can't wait the last 1:12?
I'm serious!

Count how many times they show that damn commercial!!

Portuguese stream has different commercials

sorry..

Oh, bullshit foul there
as long as we don't foul and make free throws we should be able to run the clock out
omg mike james you are retarded
i can't believe they got that lameass call

fuckin pierce is so full of shit

even when mike james fucks up its in excusable ways

love this guy so much more than JLIIK

I wish they gave tech's for floppin
Deng is becoming the playmaker

I always wanted him to be!

yeah, it only sucks it seems to have taken away his rebounding a bit

i’d love him to get a triple double!!

yep, he has really improved the last two seasons
D3NG!!!!!!!!!!
DENG

DAGGER!!!!!!!

Deng's sweet spot

BOOM!

Not THAT

was a good shot

Game bitches!!!!! Loul Deng!
DENG AGAIN!
Luol with a monster 4th
Dagger.

Btw, Reggie already setting the narrative of “the Bulls won because the Celtics missed opportunities”

Deng For President
He probably could in Sudan...
I'm sure

everyone in Khartoum already loves him

THIS IS WHY HES AN ALL STAR!
'Deng-nabit'? Really Miller?
hahahaha

god he sucks

deng>>pierce

for the first time in their careers. how sweet

Deng>Pierce

since last season, actually.

13 pts in the 4th

how many you get rajon? thats right….

Rondo pulling a LeBron 4th quarter performance
rondo is a pussy

he goes against a physical defender, he starts chukin up stupid jumpshots.

Mike James fouled out
Great game by him

The stats won’t say it, but he really opened it up for everyone.

6 fouls in 17 minutes is a lot.
Bulls PGs +/-

CJ= -6
Carlton= 0

MIKE JAMES= +17

James had four assists but three turnovers.

I think this is really about how badly the other point guards played.

I agree.

Booze, Deng and Noah went on that run in the 2nd quarter and James just happened to be in there.

I think he just ran the offense and didn’t take bad shots, which is what made everyone clamor for him since Lucas and Watson were just looking really bad.

If only Watson would try feeding the big men.
Bulls outrebounding Celts 50-36.
Good job James! Nice work!
Taj looks pissed lol
happy Deng is doing this on National TV

especially after the last Celtics game. Everyone is watching

he and pierce were pretty equal last game

they both sucked.

i was thinking more about the game the martian had
New Contract for MJ?
mike james, really?

STOP FOULING! Oh wait, you FOULED OUT IN 10 MINUTES! If the team is down 10, THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN WIN IS IF YOU FOUL

2 of those were bullshit offensive fouls.
and at least one was a bullshit defensive foul

he got shafted

I think I'm the only one who thinks of Matthew Brock

when I think of someone getting ‘The Shaft.’

how so? I only saw one but he definitely had an offensive foul against O'Neal in the 4th
well the first one was def a bullshit call

he was already in the air and oneal undercut him.

o'neal stepped under him while he was in the air twice
Reggie is still making excuses for the Celtics.

Now he’s on to saying the Celtics haven’t practiced enough as a team and have a bunch of new guys.

he can't help it. he loves ray allen
and he has to love ray allen after he broke his record
its a scary man-crush
If only the Bulls had a good excuse for not blowing the doors of the C's

Like missing their starting backcourt that includes the reigning league MVP or something like that.

I bet he comes up with 10 more excuses for them.
Miller is a moron

He hates the bulls for obvious reasons.

I don't think he hates the Bulls

but he is definitely top 5 worst announcers, which is a shame because he has the capacity to be really good

Miller was owned by the Bulls during his playing days

There’s no way he’s going to say anything positive about the Bulls. Even if he does, its probably because it was scripted for him.

C's are old. It showed tonight. Hell Rondo was their inside threat on the block. Allen got it going but he was 0 for 7

and the rest of the team missed shot after shot

Yeah, yeah, Heat fan...

You guys are used to people in the media making excuses for you. Save it.

whatever dude
lol, easy...hes one of the better heat fans.
You mean the ones that were Heat fans before the LeBron/Bosh era?

I can respect that..

Heat fan since Wade
and if you can't respect that F*** off
Swearing at me will definitely make me respect you...
f*** off?

You’re on the Bulls site here.

Fuck off
not you, but as a correction
Right...
Fuck off
Go swoon over LeBrick on PiM
like I said whatever dude, no need to respond to me by the way
Well if you don't want to be responded to, don't post on a public blog.
You do know there's a Heat blog

Or do they not show up their either just like in games?

just visiting, don't mean to cause trouble
Telling people to fuck off kinda starts the trouble

I could care less to be honest. I take nothin seriously on the internet

Internet is serious bizniz.

Well when you start telling people to fuck off..

That doesn’t really match up with you not meaning to cause trouble..

yo, easy dude, ur getting worked over on the internet

no pt of trying to prove ur a heat fan. If they are still insulting you, ignore them.

Didn't you say this is one of the better Heat fans?

I’d hate to see worse Heat fans…

haha, i did say its rare to find a diehard fan didnt I?
diehard heat fan*

but hes ok. i have seen him post several times on our blog,

People show their true class when they receive criticism.

mjtig didn’t handle it very well. Being a Heat fan and not being able to handle taking crap from other fans… not a good combination, to be honest.

you are right, but hes usually ok on BaB
It's cool man, no worries
you are right, mo worries
that's a drop on the power rankings
i actually do know a couple of diehard heat fans ironically.

but yeah, ita rare to find a heat fan wearing an alonzo mourning jersey.

My favorite all-time player!

Mostly from his Charlotte days. That team was badass though with him, Hardaway, Mashburn

really? hes def my second fav center of all time...

RIGHT AFTER THE DREAM!!!

I loved that dude

Right outta Georgetown. Now that I think about it that Charlotte squad was sick too. LJ, him, Dell, Mugsy, etc. Of course they had to run into Jordan

cool, cross team sniping on BaB
is age an excuse?
no, a reality
Real or not, people still use it as an excuse.
they lost not making an excuse, just giving you reasons I think they lost. Do you think they are not old?
I think that them being old shouldn't be used as an excuse when teams beat the Celtics.
well I'm not making an excuse, but this is a big reason why they are losing imo
How can you say you're not making an excuse, then make an excuse?

It’s like the people that say ‘no offense’ then insult you.

it's an observation, they looked old tonight
The Bulls made them look old.
fkn Ponde de Leon

I blame him.

If age were an excuse, there would be no Cougars.
no hulk hogan

or mick foley
or hhh
……

... I would have no problem with that

seeing as Hogan is a caricature of himself, Foley looks horrible and HHH is trying to run the business into the ground.

SCAL chants startin up
Sums up CJ's game
it's an airball party

CJ just wants to shoot

Oh how the douche have fallen...
i love Mike James

And Cj shooting that last shot is why i hate him. He’s selfish.

????

The shot clock is running out and he has to shoot. Totally standard for PG to shoot there in that spot.

he didnt pass it to anyone man
i want the Celtics in the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, gotta hope they fall to 8th
me too

would love to go to a playoff game here again.

it was awesome in 09 even though i went to game 2 when they lost on that ray allen 3. which i had a perfect view of. man…

plus you would see rose play finally

and a first class of view of him escorting the big 3 to retirement

yeah

man am i regretting not going to the january game. would have seen him display his MVP skills!! haven’t seen the bulls win in the garden for a few years now…

Watson goes back in pounds the ball passes to no one and then jacks another one lol
Another one bites the dust...
Finished
lol

cj watsons last shot of the game was the same shot he took in the last celtics game, same spot, same result

Phone home Rondo

Phone home, ya bitch

good win for the bulls

i want to keep mike james. Idc what it takes, get rid of JLIII!

This is why I hate this forum sometimes. Everyone is hugging Mike James' nuts

He had a very nice game, although he had some real idiotic plays late. If I copied and pasted the comments from the Washington game, you guys say the exact same thing about Lucas. Now you all say he sucks. You can’t judge players on one game, good or bad. Yeah, James had a good game but he’s been in the league for like 13 years and nobody wants him. He’s not all of the sudden talented. Let’s not get carried away with 2 good games that he’s had for us.

James helped us win this game

Let’s take the glass-half empty shit somewhere else for tonight

Hey, you're right he did.

He played a great game and I’ll give him credit. I’m just saying let’s not say he’s better than CJ or anything better than a 3rd guard in the league right now long term for us. I’m sure you guys will be dumping on him next week. I’m glad we found someone to take JLIII’s minutes though, we can all agree on that.

He did...run the offense better than CJ tonight...just saying!
Actually I wont

He’s better than Lucas period. Never said once he’s better than CJ.

He's better for us than Lucas. Fact.
did you borrow KC's water bucket?

James player a hell of a game.

hes better than JLIII and thats a fuckin fact...

i watched JLIII alot and hes HORRRRRRRIIIIIIIBULLLLL. James i have watched with the raptors and now. Hes not a bad backup pg.

James runs the offense better than CJ
well they both suck at running the offense

James will get better with practice time though. He has an excuse; He’s had like no time to learn our sets.

i for one always thought lucas sucked

hes everything that pargo was supposed to be for the bulls, except i hate pargo good and bad.

i dont think anyones actually said something ridiculous about mike james except wanting him to play in the game, and as thibs showed (by playing him in the game the entire 4th really) he was definetly a key reason for the win.

If someone starts talking about mike james getting a starting job while cj is out (bballsmurf…) then thats crazy, but so far ive just read a bunch of ’mike james bitch" comments…

when he is making his shots he is almost

BG7. When he is not he is barely BG8

lucas needs to stop thinking he's drose

the shots he takes are sometimes just too ridiculous

im fairly sure he thinks hes kobe

the shots he takes…my god…

Mike James had 4 assists tonight and was +15. JL3 had ZERO assists and was +2

JL3 shoots way too much and doesnt run a NBA offese the way a NBA point gaurd should

James also had three turnovers and 6 fouls in 17 minutes.

It’s not that he played great, it’s that the other PGs played so badly.

well he got Boozer involved

which changed the entire game. We have quality bigs that Cj and Lucas ignore for no reason other than to jack up a wild shot.

James brings a steady pace to the game.

As I said, it's that the other PGs played so badly.
Vinny doesnt look quite so youthful anymore.

He’s showing his age,

theres this idea

That the bench mob has no offense and needs Cj to jack it up. I honestly think mike James would run it better. He moves the ball and good things happen its simple.

Let Cj play sg for short stints and give mike James some minutes, he’s out played Cj both times he’s played.

no he wouldnt

mike james cant really score…..

yeah he can

And so can taj and korver but Cj doesn’t let them. I don’t hate Cj but he’s just an idiot sometimes. He’s either hot from 3 or he sucks and then rose doesn’t get any rest. It’s annoying.

how many times does cj come in

For like 3 minutes, throw up a brick, turn the ball over, then Thibs puts rose right back in for the entire game.

It seems like it happens a lot

He doesn't need to

All he needs to do is be an actual PG. It will open up the floor and create better shots for the benchmob. You can even give Boozer more minutes with them so James can run PnR. CJ isn’t s PG.

the bench mob consists of one offensive weapon outside of the pg

and thats korver…..having cj and korver opens things up for taj and brewer. mike james can run the floor as well as he wants, hes not fucking steve nash or chris paul, hes not gonna suddenly make guys better around him, his ability to ‘run’ and offense isnt going to make korver get anymore open……

to add some more

the bench mobs role has always been to basically defend the crap out of teams while the starters got some rest by completely negating any influence another teams bench could have. I dont think you get that with mike james. Mike james looked more mortal when he was out there with taj and asik as opposed to being out there with boozer and deng….

Thibs could be smart

in that case and run boozer with the bench mob some.

Why settle?

CJ is basically being a “hit or miss” alternative to Rose isn’t any better. CJ and Korver is going to get the same shots regardless of who the PG is, but having someone who can actually run an offense can create better opportunities for easy baskets may actually generate better results. We just watched it in this game compared to Sunday when CJ just shot himself out the gym.

I think you’re underestimating what an actual PG instead of a gunner playing PG, can actually do for an offense. You can play Boozer some with James and the Mob and get much better results from that group.

exactly

He’s just not a pg, and he’s not good enough of a scorer to completely make up for it. Is rather have a guy like James come off the bench, his game isn’t flashy but I feel like the way he plays can be done consistensy. Cjs 3’s aren’t reliable.

hmmm

im wondering if you arent actually colin cowherd now

lol

I wish man, dude is ballin.

you just want to sit next to beadle

…who were the other two who subbed in for cowherd and beadle, the one black dude that was afraid of everything, and the somewhat good looking blonde who did nothing but give him flak

oh i don't know

that blonde girl who I’ve seen on espn maybe 5 times in my life is pretty hot though.

CJ is a solid backup guard

He’s not as effective against starters, but that’s life.

Deng: 23 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists
Boozer: 23 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists
Noah: 15 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks

I missed the first half

what was up with Noah’s line though? He missed a ton of shots. Was he missing bunnies or putbacks or what? Nice rebounding numbers though esp. on the offensive glass where it looks like he was beasting

He missed a shitload of putbacks

It was wierd.

I just wish they wouldn't stand around

so much when Rose is playing, especially against the heat. Hopefully with him being out they reevaluate their roles on the team against good competition

Who wins in a series, Clips or Thunder?
thunder in 6 games
Thunder.

Even if the Clips are in a position to win, the NBA has shown they’ll blow calls to get Durant a W.

clippers in finals = more money

Than the thunder

Kevin Durant = face of NBA
Clips

Paul will own Westbrooks, then Durant will have to outscore butler, griffin, and mo williams. I don’t think he does.

...while James Harden strokes his beard off in the distance somewhere
I'll stick my neck out and take the Clips

I’d put my trust in Paul before any other player between the teams

Thunder win by virtue of not being coached by Vinny.
I don't know, westbrook might try to outduel paul and neglect durant

and ruin everything

Interesting.

I thiiiiink I might take the Clips. Although OKC’s insane home court advantage makes me think twice. Not even trying to clown him, but I just don’t trust Westbrook. Too much of a spaz, and CP can take advantage

Thunder have no inside game and rely on jumpers too much...

so I give the Clips the edge maybe in seven.

Complete toss up.

Might have to lean Thunder because they don’t have VDN. But then again they will have Westbrook taking 35 shots a game (while Harden will have 18 ppg on 8 shots.)

Clippers have zero defense, Griffin and Jordan can't make free throws, no Billups means relying heavily on Randy Foye or Mo Williams down the stretch in playoff games.

I don’t buy it. Great offense but you don’t win playoff games without at least an average defense.

"Bouncy front court man"
LOL

KMart with the dunk. Clips are really lob city.

Another one from KMart!

Loving it!

If only the clips had a real coach...
please dont say that...

if they get jerry sloan, i woudl seriously fear them more than the heat.

If anyone wants to watch Thibs' presser

HERE

Blake looking good in the post
once he gets a coach who influences defense

watch out, and im saying WATCH THE FUCK OUT! Hes going to become the MVP of this league if that happens.

rose says bitch please
lol, well, i think rose will always be the MVP by default

however, im sure hell get lots of consideration as the MVP by the fans, media etc.

not big on VDN I see, well they do chuck a lot of threes and he does not post up nearly enough...

they should be getting him as many touches as possible and he better get better at free throws also.

i think CP3 iwll start to realize that and start setting up more plays for Blake on a pick and roll or let Blake post up on mismatches or piss-poor defenders
vdn coached the bulls

and literally just ran one play, high screen and roll. Sometimes the side he ran it on were different, but it was always the same. His end of the game play was a floppy curl action above the freethrow line….

watch the clippers…thats all they run as well. The clippers are winning on talent alone, and i bet it will come to bite them in the ass come playoffs. If they play san antonio, dallas, or any other good veteran team, they will get trounced

Do you think Big Sexy regrets leaving us for Portland?

They are currently out of the playoffs.

i think portland has been pretty unfortunate

injuries left and right, loosing roy and oden, i really feel bad for that franchise. And their fans are jsut spectacular.

Yeah, I always liked Portland, right from the days Scottie played for them

Also the days SHEED played for them

Aldridge

That’s all I have to say

There's honestly no point to keeping John Lucas III on this roster.

Mike James isn’t that good but he at least looks like he belongs on the same court as other professional players from time to time. Lucas had one decent game against a trainwreck of a team and hasn’t done shit since.

And to be honest

His “one good game” wasn’t even really a good game. Wasn’t he like 8-24 with like 7 TOs in that game. He was just the least of the jokes in a game filled with em.

I mean i know he had a line of 24-8-8

But it looked better than it really was

yeah i mean he took 28 shots

to get like 28 pts… and it took him 45 minutes to get 8 assists. and he’s the point guard.

Blake hit the midrange there, that is the other thing he needs to get better at
that will take time, but i can see him being more complete next yr (esp with a real coach)
Poor Trailblazers.

It’s like they stole the Aztec gold of Cortez and until they give it back they’ll keep losing players to injury. If only they hadn’t strapped Darius Miles to a cannon and dropped him to the bottom of the sea…

The Holy Grail of Basketball is destroying the Clips.
linsanity has seeped into the daily show

god help me…

it also hit colbert report on monday

i didnt think stewart would do it because hes new jersey, but i saw the colbert one coming

i don't think jon stewart hates himself enough to be a nets and mets fan
The Clippers just need more Thrust.
fuck you

hinrich is coming here, not there

Clippers' D is almost as bad as the movie 'Chronicle.'

Almost, but not quite.

i heard that movie was actually good ...
ditto

i thought it was one of those shaky cam “be careful what you wish for” type movies, but heard it was actually a new age superhero movie

You both heard wrong.

Terribly terribly wrong.

just checked

rotten tomatoes gave it an 85….and i kinda trust rotten tomatoes man

Over a doctor, though?
lol

i was just trying to think of some extremely weak joke about him being a doctor

he only plays on tv

and by tv i mean wwe

Or, you can just go see the movie.
yeah, I trust Rotten too.
damn, camby looks old as hell

and yet, hes still a solid rebounding machine and blocker.

how long has he been around, it has to be a long time--but he still may be one of the best shot blockers
hes been in the league since 96

drafted by the raptors!

and i remember seeing him with the knicks

esp in the 99 championship match vs spurs.

Out West, Mavs are starting to click, I think the Spurs will hit the wall eventhough they have been playing well...

Clips, Mavs and Thunder have the best shot I think.

The Spurs are legit.

They’ve done all of this missing Manu for most of the season and their young players are coming along really well. Pop, as usual, has done a great job with that squad. Oh, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan are balling right now.

no post up players besides no acl guy I cant remember his name atm who can do some of that but is small, Duncan can't post up anymore for the most part...

Parker does play well. Not sure about Manu when he will get back. They are a perimeter team that relies on the jump shot now and their core are older. I think they fade away in the playoffs, they do have a great coach so there is that.

They don't rely as much on the jumper as you think.

Parker gets most of his points in the paint, Duncan still gets his, they have a young slasher in Leonard and a decent frontcourt depth with Blair and Splitter. They don’t shoot all that high a volume of three’s either(13th most attempts per game).

There’s no real clear cut monster in the West; I wouldn’t put my money on San Antonio but I wouldn’t be that shocked if they came out of the West.

OKC was supposed to be the monster,

but the Spurs are right there with them, and the Clippers and Mavs aren’t far behind.

theres gonna be a bunch of trades happening the west

teams like denver and lakers are a trade or two away from suddenly becoming possible contenders. Lakers might just land dwight howard, and denver might get nash. the east is top heavy, but id say the two best two teams are definetly in the east. The west is a bit more competetive, but i think the trade deadline is gonna change that. Cant wait till trade deadline

I don't see a trade making Denver much better,

since their strength is depth. But a trade could make the Lakers much, much better. All they need are decent players at PG and SF.

They could strike a deal for Dwight,

but with no guarantee of resigning, odds are it never happens. They can offer a helluva package, though.

Oh, and the Lakers trading for Howard

will not make them much better this season, since they presumably would have to trade Bynum, Gasol, or both to get Howard.

Imagine how good Batum will be

when he hits puberty.

CP3 shooting like JL3 today.
LOL, well the Clips don't look like contenders atm
Yeah, but its a long game and if they play even an ounce of defense

Portland shouldn’t be able to score.

agreed a lot of firepower on that clips team
good pass to blake under the rim
i miss brandon roy

let’s all pitch in, and fix his knees, and in gratitude he’ll play for us.

We can rebuild him
LOL....we can make him stronger
I'm almost ashamed to admit I'm that old....
hey now

I’m older than you

front court all with double doubles

last time it happened?

I went to basket refs play index but did not see how to search for that stat…..

I would love to know
