  2. Westbrook has been great in the fourth quarter.
  3. A lot of his struggles come from his teammates though, I agree he has a lot to work on, but having that consistent second option is huge for a young PG. Look at Rubio in Minnesota, Rondo with the big three, even CP3 with David West. Wall has never had that fall back option, and it's stunting his growth. If Wall is able to control his body the way Rose does, and learns how to finish, he can easily be a 20PPG scorer. He fills up the stat sheet because he's such a dynamic player, he's the second best guard when it comes to blocks (behind Wade), I believe he's in the top 5 in spg, and is a terrific rebounder for his position. However, for all of the optimism I have for him, his defense is really a legitimate concern. It looks like he has regressed this season despite the great defense from Javale most of the season, which is a bit odd. His man to man defense is terrible, PG's still seem to blow by him on occasion, and I always find him trailing his man off screens and picks.
  4. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like anyone watched this game other than me, so the constant criticism of John Wall will persist. He's going to be great, I still maintain that he can be the best PG in the league someday.
  5. Nick Young will probably walk at the end of the year, he doesn't have much trade value. We've barely seen him play this year and you're already jumping to conclusions? He's a project, you have to stay patient with him. He has good potential in this league, already shows great basketball IQ and work ethic, it's all about helping him develop into a good basketball player.
  6. At this point I don't care what we get back for him, unloading him is addition by subtraction.
  7. Haha, I'm sure you would, we beat the Packers last year, and we know how that season ended.

  9. And he did it coming off the bench, so why change it?
  10. Magic's Lakers were swept in the '89 Finals. Shaq's teams were swept out of the playoffs 5 different times. Kareem was outplayed by Bill Walton in '77 and Moses Malone in '81 playoffs. Bird got swept in the playoffs in '83 by a Bucks teams that featured Moncrief and Marques Johnson as their best players. Almost every great player has a significant indictment against them. Fact of the matter is LeBron will never get exoneration until he pushes past his current barrier which Nitro alluded to. Like many, I assume LBJ will get his ring eventually, but more and more, you have to stay grounded in the reality of what's happening with him and what has occurred in the past. I'm more than forgivable of his performance against the Spurs back when he was with the Cavs in the Finals, but to see him play poorly on a team with Wade and Bosh in the Finals after such a dominating ECF is inexcusable.
  11. None, he needs the ball in order to be effective, he doesn't have the lift he used to, doesn't have that quick first step we saw in Washington, cannot penetrate, and is too one dimensional now to effect the game in other areas. There's a reason why Orlando is paying him $62 million to sit at home.
  12. Pharmacy technician, which is a headache of a job.
  13. 3/13 in 4th quarter and OT. That's some big 3
  14. Terrible foul by LeBron, stupid, stupid foul.
