~*~*2009-2010 NBA Season Thread*~*~

[.GR]

Reke is the truth eh?

 

[MapleLeaf]

Dirk Nowitzki Free Throws in the 4th quarter and OT this year = 54-54 (100%)

He's shooting 56% from the field in the 4th quarter too lol.

 

[.GR]

Beno Udrih is shooting 53% from the field all season.

Brandon Jennings has exceeded expectations so far this season. When he didn't get much playing time in Italy last season, many were surprised by his hot start this year. He's proven just about everyone wrong.

But as Scout Inc.'s David Thorpe notes in his Rookie Watch: Biggest Surprise piece today, if Jennings is the unanimous No. 1 pick for biggest surprise, Omri Casspi gets the unanimous second-place vote.

"Opponents must be shaking their heads at that evaluation. Casspi has blistered teams from everywhere on the floor. He hits 3-pointers, gets buckets off the dribble and races the floor for dunks. Plus, he defends anyone and everyone with quick feet and a tough demeanor. All this while having to make the conversion from a power forward in Europe to a small forward here, with some shooting guard mixed in thanks to the injuries in Sacramento to Kevin Martin and Francisco Garcia. There was a lot of talk about Casspi spending some time in the D-League to acclimate to the NBA after struggling in the Vegas summer league. Instead, he's fighting for a starting spot in the rookie-sophomore game during All-Star Weekend in Dallas and perhaps even a slot in the 3-point shootout."

I counted 3 steps without the ball. I cant do that where I play. We actually call travel.

If you put it up or pass on the 3rd step its not a travel, thats how Ive always played even when we play with refs.

But, that does look like a travel..

 

[.GR]

I'm considered a big guard in this league and going against Tyreke I felt little tonight.

Gilber Arenas^

 

[Bagwell™]

I love Tyreke Evans. I began supporting the Kings because of Webber, and now Evans is drawing me back. Still a Bulls fan, but Kings are getting back up there.

 

[Mexi]

Charles and Kenny both said Deron is the best PG in the NBA

finally some people outside of Utah agree with me.
I've been saying that for a while

 

[.GR]

Not for long.

"Phil Jackson started drawing the diagram on his board, designing a play from the backcourt, and Kobe Bryant was baffled. He interrupted with a furrowed brow and started to point toward the scoreboard to remind his longtime coach that only 5.4 seconds remained in overtime, and the Lakers were losing by one.

"Huh?" Bryant actually said in the huddle Wednesday night.

Bryant turned to appeal to co-star Pau Gasol to bring Jackson to his senses. Jackson stopped drawing and just gave Bryant a dead-eyed look that basically said: "Are you going to let me do what I do or what?"

Jackson resumed drawing in the backcourt, and with that, Bryant ceased being surprised.

"Then I got it," Bryant said later as he walked out of the visitors' locker room, his epic resume now bulging by one more shot. "I knew exactly what he was doing."

Jackson wanted to help Bryant by deterring Milwaukee from double-teaming him"

A true coach, Pjax is. Only he has the power to phase players like MJ and Kobe like that.

 

[Mexi]

Not for long.

tyreke's got to get rid of that goatee

he's too young for a full goatee lol
and i think Mario said he looks like a crackhead, it's true

but dude can ball. i'm a believer
i still dont think he's a true PG like Deron or CP though
he's like DWade, Manu, BRoy. they can play point, but they're not PG's

and Whisper, cool article.
and people say he doesnt coach?
btw did you see the connection between that play and MJ's?

[Pugz]

I said Reke looked like a crackhead, Mario agreed with me

Ive thought for a while Deron was the best, but other fans won't/don't see that.

 

[Mexi]

me and you both pugz

Deron is better scorer
better shooter
bigger
better on ball defender
deceptively quick. CP is faster, but Deron isnt that slow
just as good a passer
better rebounder
less injured
to me Chris Paul is a stat gunner and DWill truly wants to win more. but thats just me

if i had to pick 1, i would take DWill

 

[The Young One]

I think Im with you guys on this one. Deron is that dude...I truly love watching him play.

 

[Mexi]

i dont remember the last time me and TYO agreed lol

 

[The Young One]

Actually we do agree a lot until you go overboard lol.

 

[Mexi]

do you remember this

haha i havent seen this in a long time

KG is such a....

 

[Mexi]

wow i was looking at the pistons pacers brawl on youtube.
i got chills.

horrible stuff.

yikes, Lakers visit the pisstons on sunday

 

[elcheato]

you act like the lakers are the only team

i was surprised they got that call too

but seriously, LeBron gets those calls, Wade gets those calls, pierce gets those calls
superstar treatment. you know that

last week i was watching the Cavs play the Grizz
oh my. that was horrific. way worse than this
they were practically giving the cavs the game

i never complain about refs, but that was bad
yeah the play on kobe was bad, aw well

refs just missed it

if that was lamar or artest or pau though, its an offensive foul or travel
whole team doesnt get special treatment, but kobe does in situations like that

The Grizzlies shot 8 more free throws then the Cavs that game, but yes the refs gave us the game (a game we lost) and wanted us to win.. We've been out shot in free throws practically every game the past 2 weeks.

 

[elcheato]

Cavs win their 5th straight. Brandon Jennings was awful.
