    Is it time to admit that Cleveland got it right with the Shaq deal?

    I actually don't think Shaq will do much come playoff time. He's just a big body they'll use to soak up fouls on guys like Dwight, and to stop people driving to the rim. You can't keep him on the floor in a late-game situation because they'll just foul him. but it is a luxury having him...

    Top 20 of the decade, statistically speaking.

    i love the fact Ginobili is on that list. he's really the only one on that list that could claim to have never been THE MAN on his team. you could argue he's the third bannana, behind TD and TP. Ginobili, for me, is the most underrated star of the last decade. He won the Spurs the 2005 Finals...

    The Official NBA Week 10 Thread

    absolutely. really love this kid. so much versatility for his size, has shooting range, and a real competitive streak. such a promising future for the Kings. kinda wish they were my team. felt gutted for them when they lost. but kobe is kobe. and watch the replay closely, Kobe doesn't push...

    Bill Simmons' Book of Basketball

    finished the book a few days ago. had enough interesting content to keep me entertained considering how long it is. and I also learnt a lot about some of the older players and the ABA. but its typical Simmons. so if you're annoyed by some of his traits then that will be magnified by 100 in this...

    Why does LBJ get no respect on these boards??

    So let me see if I understand this... Because LBJ is such a great guy, and gets along with his teammates, and makes them better, he is immune to taking criticism from disappearing down the stretch in a huge series-deciding game? Is that what you're saying? And he must really get along with his...

    Can Dallas go all the way

    You are wrong my friend. I would argue that based on the first round, the Mavs were the best performing team in the West (and look at their form over the last 10 games of the season... very ominous). The Nuggs put away the 7th seeded Hornets who were already falling apart. The Mavs were 6th...

    Why does LBJ get no respect on these boards??

    I seem to recall a Lakers v Suns series in 2006, in which the Lakers were 7th and the Suns 2nd in the conference. Kobe was phenomenal in that series and the Lakers somehow stretched it to 7 games, and ultimately lost. That Suns team was title-worthy and should have beaten the Lakers in 4 or 5...

    Can Dallas go all the way

    I still think the Mavs could have won the Denver series last playoffs if they weren't shafted by the refs with that no-call on Melo. They were playing awesome ball and completely destroyed the Spurs in the first round like they were nothing. I love the Mavs. On paper they've got everything you...

    Why does LBJ get no respect on these boards??

    I'm not really arguing with you guys. I agree Lebron needs help, and that he has an average supporting cast. and I also think he's the best player in the league at carrying his team, better than Kobe. But I'd like to know what you said about the Cavs-Magic series before it started. I'm...

    Why does LBJ get no respect on these boards??

    You mean when he went 8-20 in Game 6 against Orlando, shot 2-8 from downtown, and made one basket in the entire last quarter? The game when Dwight stood up and lead his team to victory? Because that is how I'll remember that series. Dwight being a monster in the game that had to be won, and...

    Why does LBJ get no respect on these boards??

    Big Z was an All-Star a few years back, alongside Lebron. So yes, Lebron has played with 2. You can pull the "crappy supporting cast" card with Lebron, but the fact is you don't win 65-odd games with a crappy supporting cast (which is what Cleveland did last year). They had a...

    Andrew Bogut 2009/10 thread

    the man HAS to be an All-Star this season. look what happened to the Bucks when he was out.

    Why does LBJ get no respect on these boards??

    I am constantly amazed at how unselfish Lebron is when he has the tools to dominate individually on a level never before seen. Despite being on some seriously crappy teams, he has never truly abondaned the team-game for the benefit of showcasing the extremes of his own talents (i.e. Kobe circa...

    Celtics give Rajon Rondo $55 Million extension

    and now you won't be able to afford a decent back-up PG :) i'd say a tad overpriced, but i really like Rondo, and if the Celtics were my team i wouldn't be pissed at paying that amount. he was carrying you guys for most of the playoffs last season. and he will probably get better too.
