Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2006 Slim, some guys just get it going specifically for Sac and Kwame is one of them. It goes the other way as well where a guy who normally goes off on normal teams has little success against Sac (or whoever for that matter)...Like who? I'll bet that more active players got their career highs in at least one stat against Sacramento than any other team. We lead the league in making scrubs look like All-NBA players; does the name Tony F. Delk mean anything to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwpeer 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2006 Quote of the Day "I don't know the exact prognosis, but it's not very good. There's a reason we didn't trade Michael Doleac, and that's because of this exact possibility. He's going to have to step up." -- Heat coach Pat Riley, concerned that Alonzo Mourning might have torn a calf muscle in the loss to Detroit. Just read that on espn.com daily dime... Couldn't happen to a nicer guy *eye roll* I can't stand Alonzo after that shit he pulled to get out of his contract. What an a-hole. I hate when announcers gush about him and his recovering from a kidney and stuff, not even mentioning what a douchebag he was about actually playing for the team who SIGNED him WITH A BAD KIDNEY. Pisses me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2006 Despite his "warrior's mentality, Zo has never been the nicest of guys, on or off the court. And in our obligatory Brokeback Mountain reference, anyone else hear Bill Walton making comments about Wade's body, as if he wants to do him? And to think all of this time, Bill only had eyes for Jason Kidd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boris Diaw has 2 points, 5 assist and 6 rebounds deep in the fourth. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come. I dont know if I ever actually posted it, but for a while I've had this thought. A lot of people seem to think that Amare's talents are going to pile on top of the very good current Phoenix team, but every time Amare is making plays thats one less play being made by his "replacements" this season. still this makes phoenix better nobody get me wrong, but again there's only so many touches to go around, so who knows if it makes them THAT much better? I mean maybe they go from a 50 win to a 55 win team? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seconded. I watched this live and I jumped out of my chair when it happened. Makes getting the League Pass worth it. Between that shot and the finish of UCLA/Gonzaga, it was a great night to be a basketball fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 Amare finished with 20 and 9 in his first game back with only 19 minutes. It helps that he was playing Portland. Looking at the whole picture, everyone else had a GREAT game so I guess it was just a balanced scoring attack that kept Diaw from shooting. They had 76 points in the first half, so the Offense didn't miss a beat. Starting Amare, Boris, Marion, Bell and Nash with Tim Thomas, James Jones, Eddie House and Leandro Barbosa as the backups makes for a pretty deep team.

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 I did notice the 76 at halftime, but more disturbing was the 63 points they allowed on the other end. Still, the Suns locked up in the second half and the Blazers only ended with 108. Everyone keeps asking how Amare is going to gel with the team offensively, but defensively is where I would keep an eye on since the Suns had improved in that area this year and you wonder if Amare will get back into things on the defensive end.

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2006 Jamal Mashburn has officially retired after being waived by the Sixers earlier this week. Shame, the guy was really starting to become one of the elite players in the league when he began having his knee problems, which forced him to the sidelines for the last two full seasons. The year he finally made an All-Star team, he was perhaps as good as any SF in the league on his best night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fanofcoils Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Are the Clippers last season's Sonics (winning on chemistry and not on talent)? I'm not sure of how many wins the Clippers have but I think it is way less than what the Sonics had last year. I'm also not sure how many people care about a team that is overachieving and whose top player is Elton Brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granted, I've been flaming/flamebaiting him a little, but at least I contribute to the forums positively most of the time. Everything fanofcoils posts is trite, trivial, and argumentative. Maybe we could do something like the "suspended from the WWE folder" thing, except he'd be suspended to the WWE folder, so that he'd have to leave the rest of the forums alone.

Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 The Clippers have mediocare talent and much less talent now than years ago. Their "chemistry" is much better and thus they are overachieving because of their mediocare talent.You're insane. Not only do the Clippers not have "much less" talent than years ago, they probably have better talent. As far as your ridiculous assertion that they have "mediocare" talent, Elton Brand is not mediocre talent. Neither is Sam Cassell, nor Corey Maggette, nor Cuttino Mobley, nor Chris Kaman. Jeff McInnis, Darius Miles and Michael Olowokandi are mediocre players. Marko Jaric is a mediocre player. Eric Piatkowski is a mediocre player. The team that the Clippers have now is the best team that they've ever had... and you're looking the obvious reason why they're not "overachieving" to be the fourth-best team in the west this year: because they should be the fourth-best team in the west this year. There aren't five teams in the west that are better than them, on paper or otherwise; they're better than the Nuggets, better than the Grizzlies, and *way* better than any other team below them. If they weren't the fifth seed, they'd be under-achieving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
