Guest NYankees Report post Posted May 14, 2006 How does Stackhouse not know that he has to hit the rim? Huge win by the Mavs to take a 2-1 series lead. Wow Nowitzki took 24 free throws tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 Does everyone here consider Dirk a Top 5 player? Is Duncan still a Top 5 player? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 14, 2006 Top 5 1. Kobe. Duh. 2. Dirk 3. LeBron 4. Garnett 5. Nash So yeah, and no. It's really fucking hard to do a general top 5, easier to do it by position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted May 14, 2006 Wade didn't make that top 5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 14, 2006 He's 6. As I said, it's hard. You know what, scrap that one, I like Wade and think he's better than LeBron. So, put Wade in LeBron's spot, and move LeBron to 4th, and Garnett to 5th, then Nash. Much easier to do it by position, which I will. I'm sure people will be mad. PG 1. Nash 2. Arenas. That's if you consider him a point, which I do. 3. Kidd 4. Billups 5. Paul SG 1. Kobe 2. Wade 3. Iverson 4. Carter (He's playing awesome.) 5. Ray Allen SF 1. LeBron 2. Marion 3. TMac 4. Artest 5. Kirilenko PF 1. Dirk 2. Garnett 3. Duncan 4. Brand 5. Jermaine O'Neal (Honorable mention to Rasheed, Gasol and Dwight Howard) C 1. Shaq 2. Yao 3. B. Wallace 4. Camby (Goodness, these two spots are so hard.) 5. Okur (I feel like I'm missing someone.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted May 14, 2006 I would've dropped Garnett from that top 5. I know he's only a couple years removed from his MVP seasons, but still. He's dropped off huge since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 Yeah, Garnett doesn't make my top 5 either: 1. Kobe 2. Dirk 3. Duncan 4. LeBron 5. Wade Nash is my 6th, Brand 7th. Garnett probably slips in 8th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 14, 2006 I would've dropped Garnett from that top 5. I know he's only a couple years removed from his MVP seasons, but still. He's dropped off huge since. Is that a result of his teammates? That's what I attribute his play to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted May 14, 2006 He's getting older and has had some injuries in the past couple seasons. Don't get me wrong, he's without a doubt still a top ten player, but I don't think he's quite up there with some of the other guys mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 I'd go: 1: Lebron 2: Kobe 3: Wade 4: Dirk 5: Duncan I think the only reason Duncan is that low is because he has the best supporting cast of the other top 5 but when it comes down to it, he can still fuck with the rest of the list. And I don't see how you can consider Arenas a point guard and call Allen Iverson a two guard. They have practically the same numbers with Arenas averaging a few less points.

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 I just posted my lists a few days ago at NMB, so good timing. PG 1. Steve Nash 2. Gilbert Arenas 3. Allen Iverson 4. Chauncey Billups 5. Jason Kidd It was close between Gilbert and AI, but I gave Gilbert the nod based on his recent playoff performance. SG 1. Kobe Bryant 2. Dwyane Wade 3. Vince Carter 4. Ray Allen 5. Michael Redd Probably the easiest list to decide. SF 1. Tracy McGrady 2. LeBron James 3. Ron Artest 4. Shawn Marion 5. Andrei Kirilenko Marion & Kirilenko was probably the toughest decision to make. LeBron's still a little rough around the edges in his shooting and his defense, and while he's improved as a clutch player, I'd still go to McGrady for the big shot if choosing between the two. PF 1. Tim Duncan 2. Kevin Garnett 3. Dirk Nowitzki 4. Elton Brand 5. Jermaine O'Neal Refer to what I said about Gilbert/AI...I almost put Dirk above KG for the same reason, but KG's defense was the big difference, though Dirk has improved on his. C 1. Yao Ming 2. Shaquille O'Neal 3. Ben Wallace 4. Marcus Camby 5. Brad Miller This, of course, is provided that Yao makes a full recovery from his foot injury, and if he continues to get the touches he was getting even with a healthy McGrady in the lineup.

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 I may be the minority but I'd probably put Kaman and Krstic on the center lists ahead of Camby. Kaman is quickly becoming one of the most underrated players IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Horrible game by the suns shooting wise, but they still almost won. WHY they didn't stick to that automatic offside guy doubling whenever brand touched the ball, I don't know. The suns stole homecourt back, so now they have to hold on in Phoenix on tuesday... ...
