Wade gets some calls just like all superstars do, but damn some of the calls Lebron was getting in the 4th quarter vs. the Heat were ridiculous.

Toronto has a nice quartet of players in james, villenueva, bosh and peterson. they've been playing well together the last little while. if they keep them together for a few and add a few more solid players they'll be contenders.

Yeah that is a nice quartert. I really like Bosh. I think saying they'd be contenders is a bit of a stretch though. And James is gonna be 31 in a couple of months.

It makes the game unwatchable. 28 attempts? Bullshit. We already know he's a good player, you don't need to go overboard on nationally televised games to make him seem god-like. He scored 47 points but it was probably the worst game played that someone scored that high. He played terribly especially the first half. It's on ABC so he goes out taking double-teamed fadeaways trying to up his rep some more. It's pretty amazing how he's changed so much in just a few years, going from more of a point-forward who can score when needed to becoming basically just a very good scorer. I think he's much better when he's finding other guys and creating for others.

The Cavs just aren't a very good team. I know part of it has to do with Larry Hughes being out but part of it is the fact that they're just not really smart. I was watching Z torch Shaq in the second quarter constantly. So what do they do? Obviously, they go away from him. And they gotta figure out this 4th quarter shit. I don't wanna hear this "young team" bullshit because they're not. They just get lacks with a lead and stop being agressive. It's not hard to figure out what's wrong when you're blowing leads consistently. You're not playing good defense and you're turning the ball over too much.

They don't have a PG, Drew Gooden is psycho, and they're bench is dogshit outside of Donyell Marshall. I'll be surprised if they win more than 2 games in the playoffs.

They're some intense motherfuckers but they're fun to watch when they're clicking. T.Dot has a great home enviroment. They just need someone to compliment Bosh and a serious wing-scorer who can create his own shot to be playoff-bound.

In a recent published report, Marbary stated that he is now going to go back to playing like "starbury". lol

i should get that exact quote because it's hilarious

"I went into this year trying to do something, to put myself in a situation where we can win, Okay?" he said, "to help the team win games. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. So, what do I do now, as far as the way I play? I go back to playing like Stephon Marbury, aka Starbury. I haven't been Starbury this year. I've been some other dude this year."[/b]

"If this was my contract year and I went to any organization, based on how I played this year, and asked for the max, tell me what they would tell me," .Marbury said in the interview. "They'd say, 'That ain't happening.' "

it wasn't happening even if you played like starbury too, idiot.

i want dolan to buy everyone out.

i've never been so depressed as a fan of a team.

Of all the NBA players that are actually skilled, Marbury is the one I'd least want on my team. The kid just doesn't get it.

djm13 · Post by **djm13** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 9:53 pm

ALERT ALERT

jerome james has 11 points in the first 4 minutes of the game

F: Antoine Walker

C: Erick Dampier

well, to be fair, what professional athlete isn't actually thinking that?

thing is, marbs is one of the few dumb enough to say it

...funny part is though...he's not complaining about that...he's actually saying that he's not worth his contract this year

erick dampier is skilled?

djm13 · Post by **djm13** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 11:24 pm

i think he's basing it on when dampier went out and tried...put together a good season

he's not so much skilled as "could be a pretty good big man with any effort"

This year and every year after his rookie contract.

djm13 · Post by **djm13** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 1:49 pm

yup...thats the second funny part...that he feels he was worth it until now

Chris Kaman with 24 points and 23 boards.

He's a solid player. Gets overlooked cause of guys like lebron, wade etc from his draft class.

stupidregister · Post by **stupidregister** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 2:39 pm

He's one of the few true centers left in the game and works hard. Doesn't need the ball to be effective.

antione doesn't deserve to be up there with those guys

jredd109 · Post by **jredd109** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 3:49 pm

he needs a shave and a haircut.

neither does erick dampier who's now getting the distinction of being skilled.

SoulClap · Post by **SoulClap** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 4:35 pm

Hey man I had trouble trying to come up with a center in the league that has skills. Mark Blount maybe?

Why doesn't Antoine deserve to be there?

curry

i still dont think dampier was a terrible pick...he's not "skilled"...but he has the ability to put up much better numbers
