2011-2012 NBA Thread: The Chris Paul and Dwight Howard sweepstakes

[Valisk]

if dwight + a bunch of nobodies could make it deep into the playoffs year after year

Eastern Conference... but otherwise your argument is valid. Just know that conference was weak as fuck during that period are they only went past the 2nd round twice.

[Kibble]

They'd be a better team if they just traded Wade or LeBron for a PG and center - those 2 will never play at 100% efficiency while on the court together.

This is why you aren't a GM.

[Man0warr]

All I know is when LeBron or Wade is out (has happened several times this season already) the Heat don't struggle as much at the end of games, because the other guy knows exactly who is going to take the ball and score.

[kisada]

still doesn't mean they're a better team without each other.

[Man0warr]

True, if you assume that there isn't an alternative to not having both, like say trading LeBron for Dwight and then winning 5 titles in a row.

[Kaslo]

Wow local media freaking out after the loss to the Clippers... "Harden shouldn't start!" 'OKC needs one more big name!" "Get rid of Perkins!"

Apparently we were suppose to win out?

[Cail]

despite all the trade shit, ill give dwight a lot of credit. dude still playing hard and puttin up #s (cept his freaking FT%)

They used to not know, but Wade is the closer now. Bosh and lebron have admitted it already.

holy shit..with 10mins to go in the 2nd quarter, LBJ has fucking 24 of miami's 40 points...

[Buffy]

Bulls playing like complete crap.

[Rhinox]

They were due for a clunker. Missing two starters has to matter at some point, even for a really good, deep team.

Serge likes to block shots

[kisada]

miami went from blowing out the bucks to being blown out. amazing.

[Cail]

jennings played like a beast tonight

[Moss]

Serge likes to block shots

IBLAKA with the rebounds and blocks double-double

[Man0warr]

Some real bad officiating in that Mavs/Thunder game. Pretty competitive despite missing Kidd, Haywood, and Odom.

Yeah, the worst was when Serge was out of bounds making the pass after the Dirk miss. The no-foul was a good call, but Serge went out of bounds.

Iggy >>> Rose

[Andalusian girls]
