Official NBA Week 9 Thread

Ohhh shit that was NASTY!

Ladies and gentlemen, Shaquille O'Neal.

 

[chickawah]

Don't tell me you thought that wasnt a foul on Nate

No, that was a foul. Plenty of other bs calls today though.


Edit: lol, 'And if they say he was in the circle, what about the other guy that was in the circle?' gold.

76ers respond to Shaq's alley oop dunk with Jodie Meeks passing the ball to the kid in the third row behind the basket.

The wing pairing of Young/Thornton is unappreciated here. Possibly the 4 dumbest players to ever start together.

Young and Thornton just throw up junk, not quite as entertaining. But yes, I don't think there's any doubt it's the dumbest starting unit of all time. Hinrich too, although very good defensively, is an awful over-dribbler on offense. He dribbles from the wing, along the baseline and out to the corner at least a couple times a game, and I've yet to actually see him get an assist or a score from it

Tommy's gonna blow up the ref's locker room, this is fun!

lol, Bonner just bricked 3 straight FTs.

Surely Josh Howard would win the 6th man of the year award in that regard too.

Nah he just stopped caring. Dude was awesome in the early days for Dallas.

Nice pass out of that double Nene.

hahaha harrington wtf was that.

I was a huge Josh Howard fan, but there is absolutely no question that the guy is about as sharp as a bowling ball. Might just be from the pot though.

Difference between general intelligence and bball understanding though. I'd definitely have Howard above average in the latter category.

Yeah my money is on the pot.

Did I just imagine Glen Davis shooting free throws? And Jrue Holiday taking 27 million steps, hitting the layup AND getting the foul call?

 

[swaneagle24]

Big Baby just drew another foul?

 

[sblack]

Did I just imagine Glen Davis shooting free throws? And Jrue Holiday taking 2 steps, hitting the layup AND getting the foul call?

EFA. Clean NBA spin

And no, you didnt imagine it

I assumed it was a travel because it wasn't LeBrone James, my mistake.

For a guy with above average BBIQ, he's shot a LOT of contested long 2's.

 

[swaneagle24]

By the way, is anyone else as pumped as I am for Championship Day on ESPN? WNBA Finals game 3 AND NBA Finals game 7, with the added bonus of Euro Champions League falloverball.

Look at Billups.

So has Kobe and a million others. It's the Jordan syndrome.

I still think when you look at the overall package, he was a pretty sharp player. Had to be, I reckon, given he's not really blessed with any single identifiable NBA talent.

Soooooo did Chicago win or not? My NBA site is ridiculously delayed today for some reason, going at snails pace, this the same for anyone else?

ESPN is updating, as NBA.com and Yahoo are behind
