Re: NBA Thread

The moves were clearly made with an eye to picking up a player of waivers which they have done in Troy Murphy

Delonte West becomes crucial with Nate Robinson having been traded and Marquis Daniels injured and also traded

They've played some of there best ball going small with KG at the C spot

Ther is an argument to back up some of these posts.
Lets not forget the Celtics are on top of the East and they havn't had Perkins for most of the year and when he did come back he was limited.
I know the playoffs are still to come, but if they get the O'neal's fit then they still might be dangerous.

Re: NBA Thread

Interesting stat i seen posted on another forum, regarding Miami.

They are 14-16 against teams that are above .500 & 29-2 vs the teams below, must be worrying.

God I wish I'd recorded that Magic - Heat game the other day. I reckon I could watch the Heat blow a 24 point lead at least 15 times.

The Cavs have 12 wins this season and are awful, except against the Knicks who they're 3-0 against, including 2 wins since the Carmelo trade. That's just wierd.

Watched the second half of that game on the weekend.
Richardson and Arenas just raining threes. Was amazing viewing.
Lebron was held scoreless in the 4th which is embarassing.

Another close loss this morning to the Bulls. Now 0-4 vs Chicago this season.
Derrick Rose's candidacy for MVP growing by the day.
Dwight Howard appears to be his only threat.
Maybe Dirk if the Mavs come storming home

Re: NBA Thread

I think Rose has the MVP wrapped up. I don't think anyone would have predicted the would do so well especially with all the LTI's they have had.

43 - 18 is outstanding.

I've decided to dip my toe back into the NBA after about a 12 year hiatus so I IQ'ed the Bulls-Magic game and the Heat-Spurs game from Saturday and watched them yesterday. Rose is money; the way he moves around the court is a joy to watch.

Would I be classed as a bandwagoner if I chose Chicago as my team to follow?

Yep.

I'm trying to find a team to follow. I started warming towards the Jazz but it just isn't sticking especially after what they did to Sloan. I've always kept my eye on Chicago so they'd be my next choice.

I'll jump on that band wagon as well.

Nah, jump all over the Bulls.
Three of their key players are young - Rose, Noah and Deng will be around for 10 years.
Perennial contender and they play good team basketball too.

I am a bandwagoner from the 90's, it's taken a long time for another superstar to show up.

Would you believe I was watching that game and fell asleep on the couch when the Heat were down by 20 something, woke up 25mins later to see Orlando hit the lead. I missed the whole comeback.

I too am loving the Miami choke train that is stopping all stations.
Did you read today that some of the team was crying in the rooms after the game???

Re: NBA Thread

MVP: Derrick Rose (Shoe in!)
6th man: Jason Terry (Maybe Odom?)
Defensive: Andre Igudola
Rookie: Blake Griffin
Most Improved: Dorell Wright (Hopefully Paul Millsap)
Coach of Year: Tom Thibodeau

Re: NBA Thread

Defensive: Andre Igudola

Dunno if the 6ers record will warrant any defensive rewards this year?

Be surprised if they stray from Howard and if they do it might be for a Josh Smith type. Block, steal, rebound.

Shame the Bogut couldn't put together a injury free season, he could have been in the mix for this one???

LaMarcus Aldridge for Most Improved.
Howard for Best Defensive is a no-brainer.
Agree with the rest.

NBA First Team
PG Rose
SG Kobe
SF Lebron
PF Dirk
C Howard
