This week in the NBA

Recommended Posts

Guest Smell the ratings!!!
Brent Barry and Manu Ginobili are building good team chemistry at getting steals and running the fast breaks.....Tony Parker should worry about his job again.

that's Tony "6 year extension" Parker to you.

 

 

have I mentioned that when the Bulls took Ben Gordon over Iguodala I threw a shoe at the tv?

If Popavich can put Malik Rose in the doghouse for general misconduct for a year then Parker can do the same. Nothing like a trade threat to make him work for the money.

I can't be expected to watch an NBA game before March. I can, however, make fun of bad contract signings. How bout those Golden State Warriors!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

Clippers beat the Sonics 114-84 tonight.

 

First time Clippers win a season opener in 8 years.

 

The Clips best bench player Bobby Simmons scores 30 tonight on 13/15 from the field.

 

Plus rookie Shaun Livingston had a nice start with 6 points 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 16 minutes.

Last night notables...

 

Orlando has some good talent. They may end up on the better end of the McGrady/Francis-Mobley-Cato deal. Howard was solid and because of Stevie and Hill (provided he plays at least 60 games) Howard can develop on his own without the pressure to produce right now.

 

The Jazz looked really good. They caught the Lakers on the second of a back to back night on the road too, but still. They have some very good players and depth and Arroyo didn't even play last night. I like that team.

 

The Lakers won't be as bad as last night, but I can see a lot more nights like that this season. Kobe had 38 points last night while the rest of his team produced 40. Not good. The Lakers are still ailing with Divac, George, and Slava out, so you are really not seeing the whole team, but even when those guys come back, they don't scare anyone. Their biggest problem will be, as shown last night, they are going to get killed in the paint on both ends because they have no intimidators.

 

Kings are in big fucking trouble and might want to start thinking about shopping the unhappy Peja or someone for something because they need a shakeup very badly. They made a huge mistake by signing Webber to a max contract, but then again, this was before the huge knee injury. Now he is getting killed on the defensive end. Nowitzki and Duncan have looked like gods against Webber.

 

Speaking of bad contracts, the Warriors put up a measly 75 points last night with their two new signees, J-Rich and Troy Murphy at the helm. Murphy did well last night, but Richardson was 4-18 from the field last night and couldn't hit a perimeter shot to save his life. He was not worth the big contract they gave him and will prove he is just a highlight reel who can't win. Think Dominique Wilkins 2K4.

Houston and the Lakers will both bounce back. Though I fully agree with Dangerous A saying tha they don't have anyone to intimidate in the paint.. what's supposed to offset that is that LA is supposed to be a great shooting team like they were against Denver. Utah's a tough place to play, and they've got a decent team assembled. How about Andrei Kirilenko yesterday? man, that guy was block after block after block, it was great.

 

How has Derek Fisher fared with the Warriors? L.A. could really use him, I think.

He's splitting minutes with starter Speedy Claxton, putting up decent stats all around the board.

 

As for my presence in this thread, I'll wait until the Bulls game is over. ;)

The Nuggets are having internal problems with what to do with the lineup some want to go with the big lineup and move Carmelo Anthony to SG the coach is refusing.

How has LaFrentz been doing? We're in Boston tomorrow, and I want to know what to expect from their front line.

I have to say that I agree with Magic Johnson's assessment that the Suns are the new Kings. Lots of offense and very explosive. I can see this team taking a playoff spot from either the Nuggets, Rockets, or Kings if any of those 3 teams start slipping.

 

Nuggets look horrible on offense the last 2 games. Carmelo is just jacking up shots with no rythym and no ball movement. K-Mart has looked less than impressive as well. It's only game 2 in the season, but I'll just say if this team gets off to a rocky start, Bzdelik is history before the new year.

Nuggets-Wolves is the new Knicks-Heat, only with more offense. I love it. Francisco Elson getting in KG's face, fuck endorsments and awards, he's just a tall skinny dude who can get rattled like anyone else! K-Mart playing the enforcer role and pissing off Cassell enough to throw the ball at him and get ejected.....this is going to be a great season :)

I'm digging the developing rivalry between the T-Wolves and Nuggets. I think it could be even more explosive this year because of K-Mart joining the fray. Add on a disgruntled Sprewell and we've got the Hatfields and McCoys out there on the hardwood.
