The Official NBA Week 7 Thread

[Vegas.]

Josh Howard not lining up for the Mavs today, however a Dirk game winner is once again imminent.

EDIT: Well it was a game tying shot.. OT we go.

 

[Red.White and Blue]

and here they come.. back to 11. Jazz almost in foul trouble. WOuldnt surprise me if they find a way to drop it

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Keep on chuckin' Jet

 

[SaintsPremiers08]

Dirk goes bang!

 

[Red.White and Blue]

Nice W Jazz.... 3 out of our 4 tough games this week. Very pleased

 

[Vegas.]

Dirk god mode is good enough to gets the Mavs the win.

 

[Dirtywhirl]

All credit to Dirk, came up huge. You just can't defend that shot.

 

[scooterselwood]

get ****ed refs. was a body foul all the way.

gentry got 2 technicals with 2 secs to go

Bryan Colangelo needs to fire Triano and hire Frank before Chicago gets there hands on him. Easily the best available coach, might be able to turn the Raps season around.

 

[Borgsta]

Can't turn around this season IMO. Takes more than a month to teach a team defense.

Avery Johnson -> Toronto would be pure win.

 

[Hodges]

Can't turn around this season IMO. Takes more than a month to teach a team defense.

Still, the offense will carry the team to a few wins. Probably can win 40% of games over that month adjustment, then its all gravy. But it needs to happen soon. And it wont. Because BC has a track record of keeping shit coaches for longer than he should, and rewarding shitter coaches with long contracts.

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Could Gerald Wallace be the first ever Bobcat representative in an All Star game? 16.5 ppg 12.2 rpg are solid numbers and the team has shown improvement this season.

As voting stands Lebron, Wade, Carter, KG and Dwight will be starters for the East.

For the reserves Joe Johnson, Rondo and Bosh are locks. Pierce, Allen, Horford and Josh Smith might get look ins to reflect their team's records. That leaves at least two more spots which Wallace could fill, I think he's done enough at this stage to get in.

 

[PHX]

Just to throw up a few names that might contest Wallace. Brook Lopez, Luol Deng, Gilbert Arenas, Danny Granger.

Of course team performance has the Ricky Bobby's ahead of all those players teams at this stage.

 

[mdc]

In his chat Hollinger predicts it'll be Wade, LBJ, Bosh and then 3 each from the Celts, Hawks and Magic (which, given how much they've been rewarding "winning" recently, sounds right to me).

 

[peternorth]

well i hope us (lakers) can overcome kobes injury....

 

[PHX]

Who would be the third one from Orlando?

We have Carter and Dwight playing good basketball and then the rest just turn up sometimes and have been injured/suspended. Lewis shouldn't be in contention. Nelson is injured. Pietrus is up and down like a prostitute's pants. J-Will is just a back-up.




Kobe's hurt his finger. If it was any real issue, he wouldn't play. He was simply chucking yesterday, bugger all to do with the injury imo. If you choose to rack up 24 shots on a hand with an injury that may be affecting his shot when you have the supporting cast like Kobe does, it's his own problem.

 

[mdc]

PHX, Lewis is the third. His numbers are almost identical to last year when he made it. Plus there's no way Wallace keeps up his insane rebounding by the time the coaches have to vote, and 17/9 doesn't look nearly as impressive as 17/12, especially on a losing team.

I guess the other option is 4 from Boston and 2 from Orlando.

 

[PHX]

That surprises me.

 

[magtrev]

Good ol' Nets. From 2 up to 12 down faster than you can blink.

 

[PHX]

Faaaaaark. If bit of a dog moment from Ariza. Would have copped a suspension if he had have connected.

I thought Ron Ron was meant to be the punk in the trade deal.
