2010-2011 NBA Season Thread

Really shouldnt be that shocking that the effort is bumped up a notch...its the playoffs (& especially when its a team being written off).

[GRT]

lol, on that Z-bo don't get respect discussion earlier, how's a $71 million contract for respect?

[Akiyama]

I'm gonna go with 'He's not in the discussion often when people talk about really good post players in the current era' sort of respect. Pretty sure he doesn't give a shit if anyone talks good about him though. He's got the money, lol

[kisada]

part of the reason is that he's never shed the immaturity label. but it's been like 2-3 years since he's done something dumb so that is kinda in the past.

the other thing is that for years he's been a black hole offensively. however, since being traded to memphis he's been a better contributor to offensive flow (though it doesn't really show in his assist numbers). his defense has always been beyond meh but he's still a monster in the paint.

when people think you're immature, selfish offensively, and a bad defender you're gonna be hard pressed to get rid of those kinds of tags.

Meanwhile, we are going 7 for 7 on competitive games so far. This series might end up being the most physical of them all.

West just hit a shot which brought this random thought: I was thinking about rooting for all the underdogs in the first round until I realized I wouldn't mind seeing LeBron face off against Delonte in the next round.

Imagine this scenario: Delonte picks up LeBron on defense at the top of the key. He sticks his hand in LeBron's face and says, "Smell my fingers. Smell familiar?"

Sea of blue, OKC crowd is fantastic

[Saga]

Don't think a single game of this playoffs has been boring yet, these are all shaping up like they're going to be really interesting series.

[Deejay]

fuck you jesus shuttleworth

Carmelo trying to play hero. He could have drove to the right and shot a 15 footer instead of a rushed three with two people in his face.

didn't mind him taking a 3 after Chauncey went down, except he might have been able to get a better 3 or someone else to take it since he was cold entire half

[Headspace]

Knicks vs Celtics. The most stoppable force vs the most movable object.

Or he didnt know what the score was? I dont know, but dumb shot was dumb.

[GRT]

wow the HCA whistles already started in 1st quarter?

[Kaslo]

Second squad getting this game to a controllable point. And now our 3s are raining.

[Zoolander]

Jesus, Denver cant make a free throw to save their fucking lives. Should be way more ahead.
