Well then it's the coach's job to make him run a play, no?

You don't think they try? LeBron has a really good work ethic, but for some reason he will never commit or try to improve his post game, and playing off ball.

yep. if we watched a whole game of lebron off the ball we would be saying hes gonna be shit in the league. and all that comes from the media saying how great he would be since he was fucking born lol. he knows he dont need to play off the ball or post up too much because the rest is so easy.

Someone's bitter i see.

What do I have to be bitter about?

My squad is the 4th most successful NBA franchise by championships.
3rd all time as far as winning percentage.
Owns the highest winning percentage in all of professional sports in North America in the 2000s decade.
Also named by Forbes as the best franchise of the 2000s decade.

I could go on with stats about years in the playoffs, consecutive years, accomplishments... it goes on. Storied franchises have a lot of these things, Dallas does not.

I am grateful for my team rewarding it's fan base with such success and great memories. Nothing to be bitter about.

Not liking the Mavs is natural as a Spurs fan, I grew up into that. Kind of like the Lakers. Hate to no end.

Such a boring ass Finals. A historically choking franchise vs a historically choking superstar... yeaa.. no thanks.

This isnt a boring ass Finals. Every game has ended with a last second shot, that is exciting. There are 3 HOF players on the court, there isnt a lack of star power. The Big 3 vs. Dirk the best European player of all-time is a great storyline. The smacktalking and injuries going back and forth has even added to that. Even the postgame interviews have been great and interesting. Your hatred for the Mavericks is blinding you from seeing a great NBA Finals.

not to mention its a rematch of 06 and the mavs are trying to get redemption.

I don't know how a Spurs fan can call any Basketball game boring lol

 

[Pugz]

Dwade pisses me off. He mocks Dirk for being sick. I mean really. OF all people in the NBA to mock someone for being sick or hurt, its DWade? I bet Wade wishes Dirk was his teammate instead of Lebron

Does anyone remember when Tyson Chandler was traded to the Thunder last year and it got cancelled? Whole league could have been different right now.

 

[DJT]

Tyson Chandler missed the New Orleans Hornets' last 12 games before the All-Star break with a sprained left ankle. But that had nothing to do with why he failed his physical with the Oklahoma City Thunder and was thus sent back to the Hornets on Wednesday.


After examining Chandler's left big toe, Dr. Carlan Yates, Oklahoma City's team physician, determined that the risk of reinjury was too great to give Chandler a clean bill of health. He therefore advised the Thunder to rescind Tuesday's trade that landed them Chandler for Joe Smith, Chris Wilcox and the rights to DeVon Hardin.

Even if his big toe was whack, for Joe Smith and WIlcox, you gotta do that, no matter what.

i was just talking to a friend about that. i think the thunder would be where the mavs are. even without perk. tyson would have been a better fit, IMO. but then, the choice they made, i agree with.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

If they had traded for Chandler they would still have Green too.

PG - Westbrook/Maynor
SG - Sefolosha/Harden
SF - Durant/Green
PF - Ibaka/Green
C - Chandler/Collison

Great 9 man rotation.

 

[Pugz]

the toe injury or whatever was legit, they made the right choice. but they would be better off with him now. you cant trade for a dude who is getting $12 mill a year and cant play. i mean now it looks dumb. oh well.

Just heard a good Jimmer Fredette comparison. Eddie House. thoughts?

Just heard a good Jimmer Fredette comparison. Eddie House. thoughts?

Watching Jim Rome? Me to.

I've heard that comparison a lot before, I find it quite accurate. I mean House was never really a starter, just brought in to hit shots.

And going back to Chandler, I still would of taken a chance if I were the Thunder...Wilcox and Smith were nothing really.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yeah the more I think of it, that's a dead-on comparison. Best case: Ben Gordon. Worst case: Smaller Adam Morrison. Most realistic: Eddie House.

 

[Pugz]

its the money that scared them away. they didnt extend kevin yet, they had green too.


eddie house is a good for jimmer. but ive been saying it for a while.
