The whole Celtics offense seems out of sorts, and Rajon Rondo can't seem to find anyone this year.
Lebron highlight
I want to like LeBron. He's a beast. He's a prodigy.
but for the life of me, i just can't like him. Something about him is soooo irritating.
Over time he has become a player it'd be easy to dislike.
The fact you hinted that November games don't matter and then in the next post brought up their 1-1 record against Dallas as if you thought it did matter.
He's a big bully, what do you expect?
I'm having a hard time justifying Carter over Hedo.
Over Hedo AND lee.
Carter AND Anderson.
very true.
I loved watching Lee play last year...he reminds me so much of Rip Hamilton.
Carter AND Anderson > Hidayet AND Lee
Speaking of players that it's easy to dislike...
the Celtics are loaded with 'em.
Because with Hedo, they needed 7 games to beat a Garnett-less Celtics. With Vince, they just beat Boston w/ Garnett at home. Idk what's so hard to justify.
I think that it's laughable that people are comparing Hidayet to VeeCee in the first place.
I'd take Turko and Lee over Anderson and VC
Well this obviously isn't the PO so it's not really a fair comparison.
Carter isn't doing anything that Hedo didn't do last season. He would straight-up take over games...important games, in the clutch.
Lee has a ridiculous amount of upside and he's a great defender.
If the Magic think they can win right now, then maybe Carter was a good choice, after all. But will it still look like a good move a year from now? Two years from now?
It'll be interesting to see how it all works out...but i liked how Hedo and Lee fit with the Magic.
Hedo is a loser.
Carter has this=his last chance,,,otherwise he'll join Hedo.
50/40/90 on those "pussy fadeaways."
I wish you'd post like a normal, ing human being.
lol Sheed backing up his 73 win prediction by chucking up threes all day at a horrid clip.
Carter is the better individual player, but they essentially gave up Lee as well. And it's not always about the better talent, it's the better fit.
Case in point: The Pistons came awfully, awfully close to winning the le in 87 and 88. Two wrenching playoff exits when they could've easily come out on top. The chemistry was off in 89 for reasons that had nothing to do with talent: Rodman was a versatile defender who had earned more playing time, and Adrian Dantley resented it. They traded him to the Mavs for Aguirre. Now maybe at that point in their careers Dantley was a better player than Aguirre, but Aguirre was no slouch himself and was a childhood pal of Isiah's who would make no trouble. It was a people trade, not a basketball trade, and without it they probably don't win a championship that year.
I've just never been impressed with Vince Carter. Every NBA player will tell you he has, or had in his prime, just as much talent and skill as LeBron, Kobe and Wade, and he's never come close to anything they've done. Never gotten past the second round, and I'd have to check basketball reference, but I don't think he's even been on a 50-win team, whereas of those other guys, they all have at least a Finals appearance. He just doesn't have *it*, whatever that is.
And neither does Turkoglu.
And got Ryan Anderson. IMO, Van Gundy should be starting Howard, Anderson, Lewis, Carter, Nelson (when healthy). The whole point of trading Turk was so Lewis could move down to the 3 and they wouldn't be undersized at 4. As much as I think that trade helped them, I really don't see the point of it with the lineups Van Gundy is using.
