  1. Monta Ellis will be treated as a combo guard, and he'll more than likely make it before Lowry will, simply because he's a better player. CP3 will start. Westbrook is better, even though he's selfish. Once you get your two PG's (CP3 and Westbrook), that's about it for Kyle. Guys like Monta, Eric Gordon, and Manu Ginobili will be listed as the reserves ahead of him. No chance Lowry plays this good (18/8/10) for the entire season, even if he had the big minutes handed to him. He's not THIS good.
  2. Wade flop, and a huge call that should've been a charge...but that's how things work, sadly. Great game, Minny. Looked good out there. They lost that game on their own, though, with those two missed free throws.
  3. This will probably be the game that Carlisle uses to adjust minutes and experiments with certain fives. I doubt the Raptors win, either way, because in a 66-game season and what will probably be a very tight 1-8 in the West, the Mavericks really can't afford to start 0-4.
  4. Wait...posts are disappearing, or the topics are leaving the New Content section?
  5. Yeah, sure that will change every 10 games or so, lol.
  6. Just imagine if Roy was back out of retirement, and playing like he was just years ago. Portland would be favorites to win the West.
  7. Deron Williams isn't getting much sleep these days. That game was ugly.
  8. Did you happen to see the last 2-3 minutes of the Thunder/Mavs? Westbrook played up to the level of Durant, had more points in that that two minutes than he did the rest of the game. If we're going by that logic, really, the only fun thing to watch in Miami is the duo, and shades of Norris Cole (and only because he's doing good as a rookie). The remaining players on the roster, including Bosh, aren't that exciting (with the exception of Bosh's one dunk the other night, which may have been the best he's ever had in a Heat jersey). The most exciting teams to watch have a mix of high-flying, young and old, superstars and role players, that can get up and down the court fast, run the break, OR play in a half court set. Miami and OKC will fit that category best. However, I'm also interested in storylines and X's and O's...and teams like the Lakers are exciting, for me personally. Everyone has been bored with the Spurs forever now, but I actually like watching them run their slow half court offense, lock up teams on D, and perform in the clutch (although I despise the team).
  9. That shot was incredible...but don't forget, Westbrook went OFF in that last 2-3 minutes. It's like someone just talked trash in his ear, and once he did something good, got to the line and heard the fans chanting his name (and it was loud), he played like a superstar to end the game, and on both offense and defense. Durant is looking to score 30+ every game this year, it seems.
  10. Who said he was the best player in the league? More than one good game, by the way...and the worst part would be those that called him out of the top five, after his injury-ridden season last year. It would be nice if everyone knew how to evaluate talent a little better, instead of clouding their evaluations with hate. Nights like these make me chuckle a bit.
  11. Can't believe there are still people saying Kobe is not a top five player in this league anymore.
  12. Not sure what's up with the New Content issue (Dash just messaged me about it as well). I'll have to take a look. As far as second favorite teams go, I would rather put up college teams. It would take me a while to create all of those images (and I would), but that would make more sense to me.
  13. I'm not so sure Fisher is the best PG on the Lakers, really. And I'll change my mind about Ron Artest...for now. I'm thinking Mike Brown (er...one of our offensive coaches) has taught him where he needs to play, and that he needs to pound the ball inside more.
  14. It's that Built Ford Tough guy. Congratulations!
  15. Both Bibby and Douglas are just small two-guards. Neither of them belong at the point. Bibby used to be able to create for others, but he's pretty worthless now. The Warriors shouldn't have won this game the way they did, regardless. Melo and Amare had under 30 combined points, and both shot the ball very poorly. Monta was even trying to hand them the game, with the shots he was bricking...but damn, Golden State just came out and pulled down boards galore (Kwame had 10 boards in 12 [expletive]ing minutes, doing his best Danny Fortson impersonation) and actually passed the ball around. Oh, and...B-RUSH to the rescue.

  17. Durant doing it big, again, with his third 30+ point game. Pretty (and clutch) jumper late in the game, too...just knew it was money. Sick of Russell. I wish the Thunder would find a way to trade him to Boston for Rondo.
  18. Garnett is getting older, quicker, because he doesn't have much help up front. KG's days of being an elite defensive anchor are over, as long as Perkins isn't back there blocking guards from getting to the rim. Twice the work now. Keep winning, Orleans. Get a bad pick.
  19. Watched a bit of the game with the DVR (girlfriends are cool). It seemed as if Toronto was finishing their fourth overtime...aside from DeRozan, I didn't see much going on out there. Bargnani looked dead tired. Slow transitions. Most of what I was watching, Toronto looked like an older team...as in, Boston Celtics old.
  20. Augustin's final shot was just ridiculous. I really would've put Kemba in the game, no joke. For that one final bucket, I would stick Kemba out there and tell him it's UConn time, and see what he does under serious NBA pressure. I thought Bosh died on that dunk, by the way. If he didn't lay there with a deathly Komodo dragon look on his face when he finished it, I would have bet money he tore something.
  21. I seriously want to watch this game, but League Pass mobile is so terrible, at least on my phone...keeps freezing, and I have to restart it. This sucks. BFT will have 400 posts before the end of the game, lol.
