Kobe just got suspended again for flailing his arms. The league office is going too far.

Tyson is a very good complementary player. Curry is a go to guy.

Chicago is soooo dumb. They wanted their kids to play like men and they obviously weren't. Now that they are men, they are turning into exactly what they wanted as they fill out their potential.

When Tyrus is ready in 3-4 years they will probably trade him for KG.

You mean getting rid of the guy who wouldn't consent to heart tests, who was a lazy bum in Chicago, and repeatedly had run-ins with the coach right? I think you are sorely mistaken.

Eddy Curry needed to be traded, just like Tyson because they did not fit into our style of play. Eddy especially. He didn't hustle, he didn't play defense, and he was inconsistent. And we got 2 first round picks for him. I'd say we got the better side of that deal. Tyrus Thomas + another lottery player > Eddy Curry.

It is when you have the ability to be dominant on the rebounding end. He's got a great body, he's got great size, and he's incredibly athletic. He should be nabbing at least 10 per ball game.

If you're go to guy is Eddy Curry, you're pretty much screwed. Curry can score and that's about it. He's a bad rebounder and bad defensively. Although Chandler might not be a very good scorer, he still helps you out by grabbing the offensive boards.

Curry is one of the rare low post go to guys in the league who you can count on to score. A good rebounder is not a go to guy. A good defenseman is not a go to guy. That's the way I look at it. He's still very young and still improving. Dwight Howard could not stop him the other night. Curry is making something of himself. I never said he is a monster, I said he is turning into one.

...and yes, Chandler is great at what he does, but he is still not more than a complimentary player.

You can't count on Eddy Curry to do anything. I'm sorry but it's the bitter truth.

How are they going to far? He is using a shot follow-through to punch people in the face. He should be suspended more games, and is lucky he got away with just 1.

He has bruised / bloodied 2 players now, Ginobli and Jaric, with his cheapshot crap.

sweetness34 · 03-07-2007, 10:10 PM

This is the 2nd time he's done this. And IMO it's not just an accident b/c he doesn't do it all the time on his follow thorugh.

I'm glad to see him get suspended. You don't shoot your arm out to the side after your follow through.

A-Dub4President · 03-07-2007, 10:34 PM

Pretty good win tonight without Amare.

Geo · 03-07-2007, 10:45 PM

LeBron was ridiculous tonight.

he did not bloody or bruise jaric. I'm not defending his actions, i'm just correcting you.

he was beyond that, he took his game to a whole new level, that shot at the end of regualtion was nuts. i hope gilbert feels like crap. i cant wait for playoffs, he steps us agasint good teams on big stages.

Dillen · 03-08-2007, 03:15 PM

Iguodala got his 3rd triple double of the year last night. He's not bad.

Wrong. He gave Jaric a bloody nose, and doctors said it was close to being broken.

" Bryant's flailing follow-through after his shot was blocked with 58.7 seconds left in regulation Tuesday resulted in a bloody nose for Minnesota's Marko Jaric. Bryant was called for a foul on the play. "

Not really. He's very inconsistent actually. He'll dominate one game, and then have kind of an off night the next. Then he'll dominate again, and he'll have a pretty good game.

The times I've watched him this season he hasn't really done much, and that has been against teams like Chicago, Detroit, Washington, etc...He's still a great player, but he's got the talent to rewrite the record books.

If Gilbert and LeBron meet in the playoffs, they'll set a new record for clutch free throws missed.

did you watch the game? even if you read that on espn or something, they probably stretched the truth.

swagger · 03-08-2007, 09:49 PM

Yes, I watched the game. Jaric was on the ground for a minute or two, and he had to leave the court and get attended to.
