Used in a sentance: Kobe is obviously better than LeBron.

Hell of a combination. Tell your friend's chick to hook him up. "Hey Jana, get Jake a Handjob and some Fresh Balls this Christmas." Post the result of that conversation in here.

They are still contenders, but they have plenty of holes to fill. Shaq is a liability on pick and roll situations...we all know this, and it has been that way since he weighed 330-355 pounds in Los Angeles. On offense, the Cavaliers aren't going down low to Shaq. They don't run the offense through him...and they are right in not doing so. The only problem with that is that it puts only four active Cavalier players on the floor (yes, not technically, but you get the picture). Basically, when Shaq isn't touching the ball, he isn't involved in the offense. His job is to gain position in the post, demand the ball and either force his way in for a simple hook or dunk, draw a foul or kick it out to shooters. Shaq doesn't fit. If you have a player like LeBron, who feeds his shooters, you need bigs who are able to hit shots, or at least move out of the paint. With Shaq clogging the lane, you force James to the perimeter, he loses another 18-foot threat (because Shaq and Varejao shouldn't be taking 18-foot jumpers), and the defense doesn't have to collapse in the middle, making it that much more difficult for LeBron to make a play. This was the same exact problem in Phoenix, and everyone should've realized that from the start. Nash wanted to hit his shooters, get his layups off of screen and rolls, and have a teammate to throw oops to out of them. Shaq was slow, he was too big, liability on defense, just didn't fit well until he started getting the ball dumped into him constantly. It turned Phoenix into a completely different team, they allowed tons of points in the paint against a Spurs team that dominated them inside out, and they had no shot at a conference finals because of it.

Kobe is the best player in the NBA. You draw the conclusions.

If turnovers count, Monta Ellis could get one soon.

I tried to IM Smitty but he's not on. Looks like we're gonna have to wait this one out.

Agreed. Every forum has a topic from this clown in it. He obviously waited until no one was online that could stop him. My suggestion? Add some "hidden" mods so spammers think a certain individual is a regular member when they're actually not. Pretty tricky, eh? Either way, this guy has no life.

It's bad enough I need to listen to Matt Millen tell me about good teams. Seeing a dick, doesn't help the situation.

Yep, completely agree. Undercover Mods is what we need. People that have the power to ban spammers but not much else.

I guess you're no longer *puts on shades*...the Lone Wolf. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
