Hornets beat heat lol. Trevor Ariza with the clutch three pointer to seal the deal.

 

[Whisper]

Hornets stay undefeated beating the almighty Heat 96-93. Chris Paul is really lighting it up early in the season.

 

[Mexi]

Chris Paul reminding everyone who th best PG is

I love Deron too, but cmon man.
remember last year everyone was on the DWill wagon
calm down

 

[elcheato]

You were one of those people

 

[Mexi]

You were one of those people

i said last night

I would take DWill because he's bigger, to start a team, but CP is the better player

he's not miles better, but he's better for sure. Deron doesnt suck

 

[Mexi]

anyways

i know Eddie House is a sniper, but why the hell isnt Dwyane or LeBron taking the last shot?

this kind of stuff always pisses me off

 

[Whisper]

lol I've always said that. CP3 skills wise is top of the league. Deron is just the better matchup because he's bigger. Stop taking my lines, Mexi.

 

[elcheato]

Chris Bosh is really overrated, I knew he wasn't as good as his stats in Toronto but I didn't think he was this bad..

 

[MR.ballin]

Chicago vs Boston going into OT.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Bulls-Celtics go to overtime...WHATASURPRISE

 

[Mexi]

Chris Bosh is really overrated, I knew he wasn't as good as his stats in Toronto but I didn't think he was this bad..

i know

i understand it's only like 5 6 games, but damn.
he's averaging like 13 or 14 points. cmon Bosh

they would have been better off with Amare. I think they could have even had a little extra to get another bench player.
who knows, maybe Steve Blake and Matt Barnes on top of Mike Miller
or maybe another big

 

[Mexi]

question:

who's better defensively? Amare or Bosh?

lol im literally stumped. cant pick one

 

[Whisper]

Like I said, ride the coat tails of James and Wade all you want. This is a TEAM game. Bosh and the rest of the team is going to get exposed once the big games really start rolling around. When it's playoff time and you have to play with the big boys in 7-game series... oh man. People call Gasol soft, can't wait to see Bosh and the rest of that front court get torn up.

Good regular season team, they'll probably get a really good record beating up on other teams, but a playoff team? Championship team? Still not seeing it guys.

 

[elcheato]

I think Bosh will wind up at like 16 ppg at the end of the year. All they're really gonna use him as is a spot up mid range shooter, and with Wade and LeBron going iso all game he really isn't gonna score much, might even sit at 13-14 actually.

 

[Mexi]

im starting to wonder as well
i know its really really early. they just blew out Orlando (still dont know how)

i didnt realize their supporting cast was so awful.
Bosh looks lost too. i think he'll be ok eventually, but maybe it'll be a lost season for him?

mike miller will help, but eh

i still see them in the ECF though

Amare is such a better fit


and like i said
all summer the question was, who takes the last shot?
we found out. Eddie House. rofl

No, Bosh is a better fit, it's just there isn't enough scoring to go around, especially in a slow paced half court offense they run, Spolstra is like Mike Brown, good for defense but doesn't teach/know offense. Bosh is a way better shooter thus the better fit.

 

[Whisper]

Vince Carter. Orlando was right there in the game and even led before he went down. Out goes Carter and the Heat took advantage. The Heat don't have those guys in the middle to create that wall and be that last line of defense to beat better teams that have guys that can penetrate and create off the dribble as it was shown against Rondo/Pierce, Carter, and tonight with Chris Paul.

Also I think Bosh is the better fit, he just needs to get more aggressive. If the Heat are really going to be successful, Bosh has to be a lot more aggressive than just being the player he's being right now. We know what Wade and James will do, everyone does, Bosh and everyone else have to be those guys and really step up.

 

[MR.ballin]

What was Noah thinking..?

 

[Mexi]

i still think amare

he's used to being hand fed, bosh isnt
he's a better finisher and at least has some post moves
just as good a shooter

but bosh is younger so you cant fault them for going after him
