NBA Week 2 Thread

[Hodges]

Cmon the Raps! Big road game today against the Celts, hopefully we can pull one out of the bag.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

That is Gay.

 

[PHX]

Lol, all four short favourite trailling at the moment.

 

[Vegas.]

We are in a terrible rhythm offensively, passing up good looks and Pierce just missed an uncontested layup.

We will come good. Single digits by the half please.

Memo to all magic players: THROW HOWARD THE BALL....NOT BOGANS!

What's with Buck-Twenty? He's killing my fantasy teams the last couple of games.

 

[Vegas.]

Oh jeez, deferring to Rondo for a deep jumper...

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Hey the 127 million dolllar man chucking up another 3/11 game.

Money well spent.

que pasa?

Who? Lewis? 120 Mil? lol, if that's who your're talking about god knows. He had an awesome pre-season, was more aggressive blah blah blah.

But bottom line, he's playing at the 4, not going to put up the number he's able to until he's back at the 3.

You'd think a guy making that much should play the other guy out of the 3 spot.

 

[Vegas.]

Our defense has actually been pretty good. Our offense has been slow, stagnant and uninspired. We ain't out of it, but it needs to be single figures by the start of the 4th.

si, si. no me gusta!

And all this time Otis Smith had me convinced Tony Battie was the messiah.

 

[PHX]

11-0 run to start the 4th for the Blazers.

Genius.

The Messiah is Kevin Pritchard, greatest GM in the league who continuously makes people look stupid, especially on draft day.

God dammit, 0-11 run to start the fourth, suprise suprise, Bogans is on guarding fernandez who ran the bloody score fest.

Someone kill Keith Bogans!

 

[Vegas.]

FINALLY hit a 3 pointer! 1-11.

Cut to 8 points. Game on.

 

[mdc]

B-Roy's taking over, although Turkish doing keeping the Magic in it.

How much is Turkish going to get as a FA? I can't imagine Orlando will keep him (need/cost), but I reckon he can and should be asking for 10-12M/year. He's a better player than Deng/Iguodala, that's for sure.

 

[Vegas.]

Hey mdc, do you follow a team?

 

[mdc]

Hey mdc, do you follow a team?

Not really. I just try to watch whatever looks interesting, but in any match I tend to root for the team that has the player I like best.

Durant just lost to Indiana, but Brandon Roy is looking good against Orlando (though I do like Hedo as well).

 

[Vegas.]

Durant just lost to Indiana

Not for lack of effort. 37/8

 

[WALL-e]

Magic locker room at the half:

Keith Bogans: "Hey i've got a sweet Idea, Dwight has 24 and 16 at the break, is shooting 90% from the field and 75% from the line. Lets not give it to him! Lets give it to me so I can airball some corner 3's. It's OK if I have the offensive firepower of a wet clothe though, because I play defense. I've only let outlaw go for 10 in the 3 minutes I guarded him, let Roy dominate and fouled on weak attempts at D."


Ladies and gentlemen YOUR MVP Keith Bogans, a very close second.......Anthony Carter

 

[PHX]

I dont blame Bogans today.

I blame Stan Van Gundy. Horrific coaching.

Does he realise he has an upgraded Bogans sitting on the bench in Pietrus? Roy would not have burned us so bad with Pietrus instead of Bogans.

AJ on the court for an extended time during a 15-2 while a capable Nelson sits.

Who's feeding Dwight? No one. But Stan clearly hasnt addressed it because he's been ignroed all 2nd half.

Someone needs to remind 'Shard that he can drive to the hoop effectively and is playing like shit because he's a little pansy hanging around the perimeter.

And Hedo? Well thank god for Hedo.

 

[Vegas.]

Oh C's baby, Pierce heating up.

 

[WALL-e]

Pietrus still sitting, I thought he must have been injured. Not only is he our best defender by far, he drives it and creates, loosens things up for Dwight, who at 6'11 280 odd isn't visable enough for our guys to see.

It's just dumb, watching the spurs the other day (god i hate them but anyway) Duncan was killing it and gettin 1-1 coverage so every possy they fed him.

EVERY ONE! until they stopped him.

That's what you do

 

[PHX]

Lol Bogans with a good chuck all too late.

Still in the game.

Pietrus still on the bench with 16 minutes next to his name while Bogans is up to 32 minutes.

**** off Gumby.

 

[Vegas.]

Pierce from EVERYWHERE!

And the Celtics take the lead off a House 3.
