We'll take him back on the Bucks any day. He was great for us off the bench. Keyon Dooling has been decent though this year, so we'll want to keep him but you can have Earl Boykins for him I suppose.

Jesus Christmas...John Wall out again??

The Heat are having a very strong showing in Utah. LeBron has 31/9/7 and Wade has 24/2/2/2. But they've also had a good contribution from Ilgauskas who has 16/10.

Shiver · 12-08-2010, 10:24 PM

Wade and James have definitely figured out how to play together. That is bad, bad news for the rest of the league.

MetSox17 · 12-08-2010, 10:25 PM

Earl Boykins is still in the league?

Shiver · 12-08-2010, 10:27 PM

lol Memphis chokejob.

You're comparing apples to oranges here...centers and guards. But Id like to see any of these guys, Durant included, attempt some of the stuff Griffin pulls off. Doesn't happen. Only other guy that makes you watch a highlight clip with as much amazement is an "on" Lebron.

Good. Take him. He's 100% useless. I don't want Earl Boykins though.

Rudy Cool has ice water in his veins.

6270410908 · 12-08-2010, 10:39 PM

Rudy's ***

6270410908 · 12-08-2010, 10:41 PM

Rudy *** does not pass the censors.

They keep pushing him back way too quick for no damn reason cause we aren't winning regardless, you'd think they'd learn after Arenas's constant knee problems and subsequent premature returns.

He's comparing him to the same people you did when you said what you said. I'd say Dwight and Rose are both on his level athleticism wise.

Sort of. He get's like 2 minutes a game, if that. Just enough time to come in and have Jim and Jon gush over how incredible it is for somebody so short to have such a long career.

Um, no. Dwight is athletic for a center, Rose is athletic for a guard. If you wanna see a nice crossover, Rose is good for that. Dwight swats the ball away like nobodys business. But the slam dunk is king in the NBA and Blake is the new "master" of the art. With Blake or LeBron I feel its safe to say win or lose, you never know what's gonna pop up on sportscenter..and for guys of their size, its all the more impressive. I didn't say a name other than Blake Griffin either so idk how you gather that I compared him to them.

I don't think it's necessarily they figured out how to play to each other more than the team figuring out their true identity which is a fast break transition team.

I still think they'll struggle in a half court set. Let's see how they do against a team like the spurs.

but anyways I don't want the heat to be good! King James thinks he can just shoulder bump his coach, tsk tsk.

I know you're a fan so you think otherwise but I just have a bad feeling that his kamakazi style leads to injuries, re-injuries and a lot of missed time. This had better be a one year thing for him or he'll be the next Oden. Id say "slow down" a bit but speed and kamakazi is his game.

Ummm...that's how I gather that....by saying this you are comparing him to every player since Lebron came out.

And if the slam dunk was "king of the NBA" Gerald Green would be an all star.

KCJ58 · 12-08-2010, 10:59 PM

LAKE SHOW needs to figure it out in the 2nd half

Gasol is gonna have to play more minutes cuz Caracter's out

no. you are a noob.

in the days of the forum when instead of ************** you had replacement words, the the second part of his name was considered a slur. so it was censored and replaced with the word 'cool'. so when he was in the nba draft/rookie he was called rudy cool.

thenewfeature06 · 12-08-2010, 11:06 PM

Raymond Felton is continuing to play at a high level in NY and I love it. Not to say the talent was much different in Charlotte but they didn't have somebody like Amare in the post. Lets see how they do in there next 10 games since it gets a little tougher.

Um, well, you see I'm talking mainly about dunks by relevant players. Josh Smith is also a fantastic dunker but he typically misses more dunks than he makes. I don't think anyone can deny that they enjoy seeing a great dunk or posterization from a great player or a great up-and-comer. They devote an entire contest to it still...because we all still love it above all else. And people might watch it again if guys like Griffin or LeBron took part in it. No more Shannon Brown.

And I don't mind debating the forwards but seriously...keep the centers and guards out of it. Like I said, apples to oranges. Its comparing a LT to a RB.
