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

[Moss]

I mean its nice Javale is hustling back on defense, he just needs to make sure the team is actually on defense first

[Skai]

[Dimmauk]

It was definitely not a goaltend... you can pin it to the glass, just cant hit it after it hits the backboard

The league admitted that it was the incorrect call. Free win for the Thunder.

[Cail]

dont look now but the twolves have a winning record

Not necessarily, possession would have stayed with the Thunder since Harden had the rebound. The league also admitted it was a close call.

[Rhinox]

wow Monta Ellis completely embarrassed James Harden tonight. Westbrick with a costly turnover late that almost cost them the game and KD having to bail them out.


in other words just a regular game for the OKC thunder.

[Kaslo]

What are you talking about, it wasn't even close:

[boo]

Too bad Monta cooled down.

He had 30 points at first half, was hoping he could break 50 point mark at least.

David Lee with triple double lol

Maybe they would've still won, I doubt it though. Ball gets hit to backcourt with <6sec remaining.



I just fucking hated how Foster made the call, all emphatic and shit like he knows what he's doing, when he's not even anywhere near the play and on the opposite side of the rim.

[Kibble]

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but Kyrie Irving is a baller. Not related to last nights game, but so far this season.

It's his call to make though, the ref close to the rim is suppose to look at other things.

Kendrick Perkins butt hurt over LBJ's tweet about Griffin's dunk.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/L...-tweets-020712

Funny how he says elite players don't tweet, a month after deleting his account. Butt, so hurt.

[Kaslo]

I took it more along the same way Bruschi called out Ocho early in the season. Elite players aren't "in awe" of any play. And he was referring to neither Kobe or MJ tweeting ABOUT THAT DUNK.

I'm more proud that he's not afraid to be dunked on and posterized, that's just part of actually playing defense.

[Valisk]

He got his feelings hurt because a high-caliber player joined in on the roast. LBJ is younger than both Kobe and MJ and is at the peak of his career when social media is a substantial part of society. The Bruschi/Ocho situation doesn't have enough common factors to be compared to this situation.

Edit: I should say the Bruschi/Ocho situation have too many differing factors to be compared to this situation.

[Cail]

i still dont think that blake dunk was all that special. he dunked over perkins arm. big whoop

[Valisk]

It wasn't special. But the fact that Perkin's has a hurt butt is funny to me.

If Perk wasn't already on Twitter and all that shit, that'd be one thing, but he straight up deleted his account after getting swarmed by a bunch of shit from the shockwave that was Griffin 'dunkin' on Perkins.

And whether it's a dunk of the year or not, it got caught up in the hype and the power of the almost sort of dunk, ala Dwight Howard's. That's just how it is.

Basically, Perkins can be butt hurt all he wants, but calling out people for tweeting is just fucking stupid.

Oh.. and in regards to the thing with Bruschi calling out Ochocinco? Ochocinco did what this year? He's got a right to be in awe. He didn't do jackshit the rest of the year as it is. LBJ still carries his weight, even if only plays three quarters in the playoffs.

Fairly certain he's not afraid to get posterized. Ijust don't think he expected this sort of backlash. He looked like a bitch when he closed his twitter, now he looks like a bigger bitch for now calling people out, Lol

Stay salty, Perk.

[Rhinox]

Pippen dunk over Ewing was way better.

[Akiyama]

Pippen dunk over Ewing was way better.

Agreed. Was a beastly dunk, and Ewing was an elite player, unlike Perkins lol

[Cail]

only reason its the omgdunkoftheyear is cuz espn/tnt/nbatv have a hard on for blake
