NBA 2008-2009 Season

Holy shit.. did anyone else catch the Heat/Bulls game tonight?

For those curious who didn't see it, the Heat are up 93-90 with like 13s left, Bulls ball. Cook fouls Gordon shooting a 3 with 6s left; Gordon goes clutch and hits all 3 free throws to tie it up at 93. The Heat call a timeout to inbound from half court, Wade gets wide open under the basket, drops the pass, Hinrich nabs the loose ball and calls a timeout. Bulls ball with 4.7s left and a chance to win it, but Wade intercepts the Bulls' inbound pass and calls another timeout, redeeming his earlier fuckup. With 3.5s left, Marion inbounds to Wade, back to Marion, who dunks it to win it 95-93.

i saw the ending, crazy stuff.
Mavs are off to a good start against Celtics tonight

[Man0warr]

This is a good game haha, Doc Rivers kicked out and KG has 5 fouls.

[Stee]

Has anyone noticed that teams are cloning their old point guards appearances?

Barea seems to have exactly the same haircut and physical appearance of Kidd.

Then you have that Dragov kid in Phoenix that looks identical to Nash.

The fuck is going on.

This is a good game haha, Doc Rivers kicked out and KG has 5 fouls.

And they still won.

[Dimmauk]

And they still won.

And the Mavs choke again in the fourth. /surprised?

[Deejay]

Actually they didn't have an answer for paul pierce. He was making some pretty clutch shots, and iirc Nifagski hit a couple game tying 3's near the end of regulation.

[Dimmauk]

Dirk will be one of the greatest players to never will a Championship.

[MrW]

Also the biggest choke artist behind my man, John Starks. Rondo is out of control. That's a huge triple double he cashed in on last night. If he could only hit a jump shot...

He will get there. I remember when Tony Parker couldnt make jump shots. Now he is shooting 3s LOL.

[Man0warr]

I'm surprised it was competitive, with Jason Terry out with injury, Mavs have exactly 1 player that averages double digits. Once Josh Howard fouled out I knew it was over, as they weren't going to let Dirk get any shots off.

They still woulda won if Pierce didn't make those 2 ridiculous fade aways - but Dirk had some nice shots against KG too.

[MrW]

Pierce is so damn deceptive and he's really blossomed last couple of years. He hits a ton of big shots.

Dirk did knock down some late 3's to keep it close but we all know regular season shots =/= playoff shots.

[melbufrauma]

I think if the mavs would of had Jason Terry last night they would have won, jason terry has always stepped up for them in the 4th, and plus he avgs 20 pts a game and they missed that, but woulda coulda shoulda, they still lost

This just in:

Heat trade Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Raptors for Jermaine O'Neal and Jomario Moon.

I think it's a pretty even deal for both sides, and it could turn the Heat into a pretty decent team...

Oh wow. I knew they were looking to dump the Matrix for O'Neal. I'm am interested in seeing what Moon can do in Miami.

Basically Heat got Oneal for Banks, Moon's game is similar to Marion's. I guess Beasley is ready to start now. He played good last night.

[MrW]

I kind of like this trade for the Heat. Not sure why really. But hopefully it works out.

[happydude]

Heat pretty much traded Shaq for Jermaine... kind of a downgrade

[Andarvi]

They are fucked when D. Wade leaves anyway in 2 years.
