2007-2008 Regular Season Thread

No you're not. You're scoring a lot of points in every game except tonight. That's not "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBALL"...

Your guys defense is not what it has been in year's past, part because you're still on Big Ben hangover, and part because Flip hardly preaches it.

Still, the Magic might just be the best team in the league right now. Marc Stein sure thinks so...

We are winning and that's what I meant.
The reason we score more now is because our bench is scoring more.
Our D may not be as good as it was in past season but we still have really good D...Wait you'll find out next time we play you.

And yet no one but you cares what Mark Stein thinks...

Our offense hasn't been doing anything differnce, we've been scoring at the same rate almost all season....

As for our defense, we still have one of the most solid defenses in the league, but our offense has been more impressive in recent games.. We are the overall package.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You guys DON'T have really good D, it's just not your team's style anymore. Your guards used to look so much better because they could funnel slashers into Big Ben, and they can't do that anymore, hence them getting beat off the dribble more than they used to. You guys have no huge shot blocking threats (unless you count Samb, who's in the NBDL). Tay-Tay is your only good defender...

 

[RipCity32]

Your right Puggy, CC is acting like our defense is terrible now, we still have one of the bests in the league. But I guess loseing Big Ben takes it's toal 2 years after we lose him? I'm not sure though..

Lol no shot blockers. Maxiell, Tayshaun, Amir, and Rasheed aren't shot blockers?

He ment BIG threats so I'd say
Sheed Maxxy Tay and sometimes Dyess and Nazr.
But mainly Sheed Tay and Max.

We are the overall package.

Not at all, I'll compare it to a player. A players that's good at most things but not great at anything doesn't normally become a star (of course there are exceptions). The people that are great at something are the ones that shine...

 

[MapleLeaf]

97-95 Spurs lead

2.0 left

Under the basket

inbound to dirk for a wide open 3










No good

Rasheed - 1.3 BPG
Tayshaun - 0.6 BPG
Maxiell - 0.8 BPG

Yeah, BIG SHOT BLOCKERS....

Hmmm, good is enough to beat the "great" Magic eh?

Your such a cocky ass, your aren't even the best in the East let alone the League. You bring in Rashard and all of a sudden you the beat to beat, and the best team, and title contenders. Which you are baseing on what your doing in the first two months of the season? You have to be kidding me right?

 

[Pugz]

Rasheed - 1.3 BPG
Tayshaun - 0.6 BPG
Maxiell - 0.8 BPG

Dumbass Max averages more than that.
And I think Sheed is right but when it counts Tay will get a block...
Just wait till we play I doubt you'll beat us at all this season maybe one game but in the Playoffs if we meet you'll get swept again well I'll give you atleast one game and if you don't play us in the Playoffs you still won't make it out of the 1st round.

Rashard Lewis - 19.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 2.6 APG, 1.1 SPG

I know you're trying to play him off like he's not that good of a player but he is, and he, improved play from Turk, Bogans, Nelson, our bench, getting a good coach (STAN VAN!) and having the Most Valuable Player to this point in D12 makes us an elite team, no?

 

[MapleLeaf]

Bass got a career high 18 points to go along with 6 rebounds.

He outscored Dirk

Right... Like Bogans, Turk, and your current bench will win you anything... And Stan Van isn't that great..

Shards good but he isn't making your team an instant ECF trip like the way your making it sound...
You will slow down! You did last year and you'll do it again!

I posted there career averages, way to be aware >_>
Just because Tayshaun blocked Reggie in 2004 doesn't make him a good shot blocker...
Dude, why are you so ignorant to how good our team is. I know it's early and I know regular season means near to nothing, but WE'VE BEEN BETTER THAN YOU THIS SEASON... Get it through your damn head...

Samb isn't in the NBADL yet....he hasn't officially been sent down.

18 points woohoo!

Well, yah seeing as you've played two more than us, and we still beat you by what 30 point when we played you?

And if we are going by career averages Howard only gets 1.7 blocks a game. Big deal? You therfore have no real shot blockers either.
