Lol the Magic aren't winning a championship? The Magic have been a Top 5 team in the past 3 years, made the Finals 2 years ago and the Conference Finals last year. Have the Hawks even got close to either? And congrats for beating the Magic without JJ, our starting PG was out (most important part of any basketball team) and three other players were saddled with illness. All I know is the Hawks aren't beating the Magic in April/May.

Dude be honest the Magic are not winning a championship this year. The Hawks aren't either. Thanks for congratulating me on it tho. Kind of a shame tho, I never go around hating on your team but you just gotta take shots at mine and for what? You clearly say we're not on your level but you're bothered when I'm glad about a victory against your team? If a team thats not on our level beats us I don't give it the time of day but you were offended. Thats saying something..

fun game

Shannon just hit a 3/4 court shot to end the 3rd

Clips up 6 headed to the 4th
Blake Griffin is playing like ass too

 

[Mexi]

OH WOW

Fish layup at the buzzer. lakers win by 1

fun game to watch

 

[Whisper]

Mexi's heartbroken. The Clips lost, but damn def' didn't see that one coming.

Fisher's going to get the praise, but I gotta give it up to RonRon playing three straight quality defensive clutch possessions. Especially that last one to take it away from Griffin just to get that game winning opportunity.

That def' was a good game.

Nuggets coach George Karl said before Wednesday night's game in Boston that the Celtics are the best team he's seen on film this season.

"On video, they are the best team I've seen so far," Karl said. "They execute."

Karl pointed out that he's really only watched film of the teams Denver has played this season. Of the league's contenders, the Nuggets have faced the Jazz, Hornets, Mavericks, Bulls and Lakers. Denver hasn't faced San Antonio, Orlando or Miami.

"I'd probably put them No. 1," Karl said when asked specifically where he'd rank the Celtics.

"I don't go out of my way to watch film of teams I'm not preparing for."

Boston entered Wednesday's action with a record of 16-4, the best record in the Eastern Conference and second in the league to only San Antonio and Dallas.

Lakers are old and slow

the last minute 30 was just good basketball
lakers knew exactly what to do, they knew what the clippers were thinking, and they just manufactured a W

good basketball, good game as well


ok Pugz? random post lol

 

[Pugz]

i posted that because it doesnt need its own thread lol. just tossing it out there.

i need to get league pass again. i miss watching good games, the pistons blow.

 

[Mexi]

pistons are the worst team in the NBA to watch
snooze fest

same with the Bucks

who am i missing?
i think thats it

"I wanted [Griffin] to dunk on me. I wanted to see what it felt like." - Ron Artest

lmao @RonRon. Did too good of a job on Griffin to let that happen

Looking back on the game though. Gasol has regressed back to 2008 Gasol lately which is very bad.

I still like watching Kobe, but then again I'm all for fundamental/skilled/smart basketball, not just the athletic/high-flying highlight plays. He's def' lost his athleticism, but he's still one of the best in the game today.

And Blake needs to start. Fisher can take the veteran bench role and go in there in the clutch, but the rest of the time Blake just does everything better. They played about the same amount of minutes tonight, but Fisher is the one mostly out there most of the time and I never like that.

 

[Pugz]

bucks were nice tonight. did you see that tip in by bogut at the buzzer? nice.


yes, pistons are boring as shit. its really a shame. joe never really went all the way through with this "rebuild" and with the team being for sale but no major buyers anymore.. we're gonna suck for a while.

 

[Mexi]

i think it's almost a waste having odom and blake on the bench

it's nice having 2 PG's playing different positions, but Blake with the starters gives them a legit playmaker

Odom has been the bench's playmaker anyways. alongside Luke Walton

 

[cruzg24]

Raymond Felton with a nasty move last night against the Raptors to end the game. That was awesome and deadly. Knicks now on a 6 game winning streak. Amare with 30+ ppg for the past 6 games <3. Next up the Wizards.

 

[dez]

FPS the 3-4 Knick fans on this site should start an Amare for M-V-P club lol

Cause he was held in check all night up until the 4th where he took over. I think he had 18 in the 4th.

I know Melo cant wait for the season to be over. I hope Donnie plays it smooth, no need to trade for him IMO. Just keep the pieces we have.

No it's just the fact that you act like the Magic and the Hawks are equal teams. And now you act like the Magic can't win a title. Get your facts straight then come back and see me.

Damn the Heat and the Knicks are looking good. Didnt think Knicks were gonna be this good at the beginning of the season. But the heat have been on a roll though.

 

[elcheato]

Well the Knicks have the worst strength of schedule in the league right now, but they do deserve some credit.

I hope they can get Carmelo in a trade this season or in free agency. They will be a force if they can get Carmelo.

 

[dez]

I hope its FAcy

No need to trade for him and end up trading either Gallo or DubC when their essential to our team right now, mind as well just wait till the offseason and hope he's still a Nugget.

Thats a really good point. Might as well try to get him for just money if you can.

The Heat are looking real good lately. Starting to look like the team everyone thought they would be.

Big surprise of the season goes to the Spurs though. They are on the verge of breaking franchise records. Who saw that coming???

I agree, I wish I could get a sick Amare sig from someone on the crew. I also think that this makes Melo even more interested in joining us and he can see that we are competitive and taking steps forward to improve. Our schedule hasnt been tough, but what matters is that we are beating those teams. Now if we can sneak up on some teams and win atleast a third of those really tough games then I can see us really better.

Amare and Felton are beasting, but we need Gallo to be a much more efficient shooter from mid range and 3 point arc. We need a consistent 3rd piece right now and its been musical chairs between Fields, Chandler, and Gallo at times.
