Ron Artest with the shoulder height dribble drive while looking at the ball.

Phil Jackson should rig something up so he gets an electric shock every time he dribbles it.

It's just the way basketball is with the limited amount of resources available.

And Deron is probably going to want to go to free agency because he's an asshole.

I think that even those later rounders are better than nothing..it at least gives you a little more to play with. And if the team taking your player has some salary cap issues, they can send you some players as well. Again, none will replace the star you're losing, but it's still something.

It's just a ****** system I think...having fewer teams in the league would also help. Whole nother topic though.

He gets a lot of flak on this board for his offensive game but Dwight Howard actually isn't that bad an offensive player. He actually have moves now, go to moves. AND on top of that it looks like he's improving or at least working on his offensive game.

He just doesn't get enough touches or designed plays. They should go to him to set up the three. ie. the run to set up the pass

Same amount of teams as the other sports, but I suppose it is a sport that would be better off having about 24 teams instead of 30. Irrelevant though, since this isn't the point. I guess the best thing to do in this situation is some sort of cap leeway from the NBA, but that would be annoying to determine.

Nice Dwight dunk to end the quarter. Or not......great job Arenas, you stupid fuckstick.

yo123 · 02-13-2011, 04:17 PM

Arenas' was out of bounds, not sure if they can review that part though.

yo123 · 02-13-2011, 04:23 PM

Hey look Bynum is hurt.

Brodeur · 02-13-2011, 04:26 PM

Great defense on Bass by Walton there.

soybean · 02-13-2011, 04:39 PM

sick missed dunk from Shannon Brown lol

yo123 · 02-13-2011, 04:44 PM

Dwight Howard is an animal. He has actual post moves now and it's terrifying, now if only they would get him the ball more regularly.

D-Unit · 02-13-2011, 05:50 PM

I wish I got to see the Magic beat the Lakers. I was at church. :/

yodapoop · 02-13-2011, 06:13 PM

I am still not over the loss. If we lose to them again next time which we prolly will, can we at least punch one of those mother ******* in the gosh darn face? Especially Rondo or Garnett. I mean whats the worse thing that can happen? People already hate us a lot, so why not? But make sure its some1 useless, aka not LeBron and Wade. In case Stern goes ape **** and suspends the dude for 20 games. Okay, I think we have a game plan.

Chucky · 02-13-2011, 06:17 PM

Is Gilbert Arenas the worst player in the NBA?

Probably. In the NBA, nothing is worse than a terrible player who thinks he's an all-star.

At least most terrible players are aware of their terribleness and so do not try to shoot the ball every time they touch it.

He's definitely the worst contract. Rashard Lewis isn't lighting the world up but at least he's a consistent 15+7 every night. Also aside from having one less year on his contract he has a special buyout clause on his contract in which we can cut him next year and only pay half, so basically by trading Arenas for him we saved 28 million and get him off the books a year early. I sure as hell thought Arenas was untradeable.

Only if you're willing to sacrifice Eddie House.

Yeah but he could get 20-30 points each night if he wanted to.

Oh sure, he used to be one of them. By all means, punch him in the face.

Hey, he pulled Maria Sharapova at one point in time. So maybe he does have a little game that none of us never, never, ever, ever, ever see from his useless ass.

I thought Joel Anthony's sole purpose was to take out dudes, so why not just use him for it? Yeesh.

As long as its not LeBron or Wade, its cool. It can even be Bosh, but I bet Ellen Degenrous hits harder than him. It can be House, Miller, Anthony, Howard or Arroyo (they don't play anyway), James "All I can do is stand by the 3 point line" Jones, any1. They can do it, but not LeBron and not Wade.

Nalej · 02-13-2011, 10:34 PM

Celtics 3
Heat 0

I love it. Can't wait to see this team when it's close to 100%

gpngc · 02-13-2011, 10:37 PM

Everyone is going to laugh at this BOS 3, MIA 0 overreaction when the HEAT sweep them in the Eastern Conference Finals.

NBA regular season...

DUZ KNOT MATTAH

That very well may happen but let's not act like this doesn't do anything to the players psyche.
I think it's big for such an injure-riddled team to continue to compete against the game's best teams.

Playoffs is when it matters most but let's not act like regular season games don't mean ****.
