NBA Week 3 Thread

[jerry springer]

i dont think the Vinny del Negro era will last much longer than the Bill cartwright era in chicago unfortunatly

 

[peternorth]

everyone whoz shot in the lebron vs carmelo game has hit a shot....except for balkman

 

[peternorth]

lol kenyon martin has a pair of lips tattooed on his neck. wtf??

 

[peternorth]

kenyon martin ejected by joe crawford for a sissy foul (little hip and shoulder by martin against a sideshow bob screen).

cavs got this easy

 

[peternorth]

pretty boring games tbh

 

[mdc]

The Warriors starting line-up is ridiculously small. I guess Nelson wasn't too worried about Kwame Brown owning them inside.

I wonder what odds you could of got at the start of the season for Biedrins to lead the league in Rebounds. Another 19 today. Matching it with Dwight.

Averaging 14.78 against Dwights 15

[sheller891]

LOL There is a world of difference between PRE-tenders (which is what Denver are basically) and world champions (which the Celtics are ...)

I look foward to the Green machine spanking the Nugz bigtime tommorow

Has been a good season thus far.

Very happy with LA, of course it is early days.

We are 8-2 overall since 03-04, and have won the past 6 encounters.

we're due for a loss eventually.

and the good teams that the Cavs beat in the regular season, end up going deep in the finals (Boston, Lakeshow last year, Spurms, Suns the year before).

i'm just waiting for the team's O to click. im sure the Nuggets 25th position offensive effiency rating can't go any lower.

i know that. but my point is that regular season encounters between us dont mean much and you always harp on anthony>lebron just based on the record

every unbiased supporter will tell you james has improved a hell of a lot more than anthony over last 2 years...where now james is top 2 in the league and anthony is top 20

thats why in a playoff series, well always have the EDGE (and with mo now, were 10% less awful then we were last year)

dont get me wrong i like anthony and dont mind the cavs, but surely you cant say at this point in time, that youre poised to do better in the playoffs and would beat us in the 1 in a million chance we would meet in a playoff series

He lives!

Welcome back Biggie

 

[Warsaw]

Shocking start by the sixers 2-20

 

[Darealrath]

I get nervous about us holding such big leads after last season but damn. Impressive start.

Daniels is on target for a 52/16/12

the only advantage u guys have over us in the playoffs, is that you are in the east, and we are in the west.

granted, in a playoff series i expect the Nuggets to beat the Cavs.

don't forget... the Cavs are 0% when playing against Western teams in the playoffs. And yes i know we lost to the Spurs as well... but we at least took 2 games from them, and ALL but 1 game was close.

 

[dont bowl there]

I don't think anyone other than Denver fans would agree with you eathb.

 

[dont bowl there]

Marvin Williams is 9-12 this year from 3 point land compared to his 1-10 for the entirety of last year. Good to see his hard work paying off.

we also took boston to 7 and could of easily won that series with a bit of luck with this proverbial clown car:

joe smith
wally scerbiak
delonte west
iglauskas
varajeo
banged up ben wallace
boobie gibson

tell me 1 of those people that are better than any of the starting 5 of denver last year

fact is: we would beat you something like 4-1 in a playoff series, because we know how to play defence and because we have le freak

yes eastern conference is weaker, but piston has been one of best teams in nba for years on end and boston was by far the best

this year,eastern becoming much strong anyway

you have done nothing in the playoffs - come back to me when you have anything to back up your claim that you could beat us in the playoffs

although you have a much better chance this year
chauncey
martin back to the best he could be at this stage in his career
revival and impressiveness of nene
melo
hopefully j.r. smith coming out of his slump

and previous w-conf super powers such as spurs/suns/mavericks falling extremely fast and with houston an injury away from rafer alston jacking up 8 3's a game

Don't let it slip!
