Anyone remember how odd Shaq was at the beginning of the season?

 

[elcheato]

All he does is sit at the desk and yell names. Disgraceful to Chuck and Ernie.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Not completely true. He was some good moments.

Easily the funniest moment of his TNT tenure was before the season started when they were doing the "Who he play for?" segment and the Aaron Brooks part at like 4:25 of this video.

Wow the Thunder are completely blowing out the Mavericks.

 

[Elite]

Thought it was common knowledge that the Mavs sucked.

 

[Mexi]

is deron really going to Dallas?
ugh

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Pretty disappointed that the Mavs didn't even put up a fight last night.

To who? Idiots?

The Mavs are a good team, they didn't take OKC down to the wire in games 1 and 2 by accident.

Problem is, they aren't a great team anymore. They lost guys like Chandler, Barea, and Stevenson and got even older in the process.

 

[buzzy]

really bad coming from a heat fan, too.
but yeah, losing chandler really hurt em

ESPN Stats & Info ‏ @ESPNStatsInfo

Carmelo Anthony has the worst win% of ANY player that EVER played at least 50 playoff games (16-36, .308). Confirmed by Elias Sports Bureau.

The one thing I don't get is why people thought Heat/Knicks would be a good series. Didn't those same people say the Knicks would beat the Celtics last year?

How do you not get that? lol

:homer:

because they played phenomenal under Woodson to close out the season.

Let's be honest, this was like, the perfect storm for the Heat to blow us out. Lin out, Shumpert blows his knee, Jeffries if banged up, Tyson had the flu for the first 2 games and then Stoudemire tries to hulk smash a fire extinguisher case.

 

[cruzg24]

I dont care what happens next year. This team is talented enough to be a 3 or 4 seed next year. No more bullshit, no more injuries. This team has no more excuses, they are going to have an offseason to get healthy and find a way to make it work between Lin, Melo, Amare, and Chandler. Next year is the year to get it done.

No more injuries, no more coach being used as the scapegoat, no more problems with chemistry, this team needs to fucking step it up. There is a lot of potential there and if it is not achieved it will be an all-time dissapointment in Knicks history.

 

[RipCity32]

I think that team will always have chemistry problems. Too many egos for one locker room.
Kind of like the anti-Heat in a way. LBJ-Wade-Bosh meshed together real nicely, in terms of egos. I don't see that happening ever with Melo and Amare.

 

[cruzg24]

One more thing I'd like to add in. This years playoffs Melo has been 22-64 in FG's and 1-9 in 3pt FGs.

Thats a .34 FG % and .11 3pt % which is absolutely pathetic for a supposed superstar. Oh yea and 12 turnovers in 3 games. So much for seeing Carmelo stepping up and showing his true qualities when it matters most. I dont want to hear the bullcrap that Melo has been guarded by great defenders like Wade and Lebron.

Its just an excuse for a player who needed to step up for his team when they needed him most.

To me. That team had absolutely no shot at doing anything in the playoffs, and that means you suck.
