DPG is trolling you... even that little biscuit head knows better than the he spits

Stats can be empty. Watch the games. Yes, they rebound well, very well. And they do protect the paint. But they suck on pnr defense and in defensive rotations, FT line extended.
and this one time in band camp.....

I wouldn't say no chance but it would be a very, very slim one.
Thanks Yogi Berra. No, you don't.
The 2007 Cavs were the worst team in NBA Finals history and had no chance from the outset. Both Nets teams sucked balls in 02 and 03 compared to their western counterparts. The Bulls opponents were predictably defeated every time Chicago was threatened. The list goes on...
They are good when they have clear height or size (weight) advantages but are mediocre when they do not offensively. They are the primary reason our defense has improved. But I just dont know that more touches would reap better results against better compe ion.
A better PG, that would have the balls to go away from Kobe when needed, and would create dunks for Bynum would mean a world of difference.
They have a slim chance at actually winning it all, but I agree with what you are saying. There are still contenders in my mind because of that. You may not agree, but I'm not blowing smoke when I say I think LA is a contender with that in mind.
I would love to bash LA, but I'm not a homer and I truly believe they have enough talent to make it to the finals even if they aren't the favorites.
Only if their opponent has significant injuries.
I agree. He's just trolling right now.
quite an odd statement Deads...if they Win the West that means by default they have a chance at an NBA le...![]()
Yeah, that's what I thought![]()
I'm not trolling. I also had to tell you how to run your team Hornets78 when you were panicking![]()
I agree, LA could make the finals. SA could make the finals. The Clippers could. Portland and OKC the same. The west is just wholly unspectacular.
A healthy Heat team would crush any of those teams though, especially with the motivation coming off last year's Finals debacle.
Calderon 20 points, Im guessing EVERY PG in the NBA is circling us on the schedule![]()
And I had to explain to you why the Mavs were a better team with Tyson Chandler when I predicted them to win the West even though you felt Butler's loss was more impactful than Chandler's addition.
I don't disagree fully with that, DD. You are getting hung up on my definition of contender vs yours. My opinion may not be yours, but it's not like I'm in left field with my definition of contender.
I thought Dallas, a team with no one who could slash and create for themselves (outside of Dirk), who relied solely on perimeter jump-shooting against the best perimeter defensive team in the league had no shot, but Lebron choked.
Not when you're giving major minutes to:
1. A ginger who can't defend or hit shots in the playoffs
2. An undersized fat-ass who has no real position or purpose on the court.
3. A guy who figuratively sucks on the court, and literally sucks off it.
Deep down Spurs fans know this to be true, despite the veil of optimism they try to maintain.
I never argued the Mavs weren't a better team with Tyson. I said I thought they were the favorites when fully healthy and I thought the Caron injury changed that.
I give two s if he is trolling or not. To me that is an excuse people use on here when they are wrong. Im taking him at face value, and when we get rolled out of the 1st or 2nd round, I will remind him of it. He loves to crow when he is right, he just said he is NOT trolling.
But of course he is gonna blame it on Kobe, when even Kobehaters like Harlem have started to realize how flawed this team is.
If the Pistons would have lost to LA in 2004 or the Mavericks to the Heat last season you would have them in your list of "non-contenders teams that made the finals". I don't care what you think, If you make the NBA finals you're a le contender.
the goods
Chandler made them much better offensively since he could function in a pick n roll.
Lebron may have choked, but Dallas's defense played well, especially with Chandler. Also, the Mavs had way more depth than the Heat.
Seriously?
In to bynum, to start the 4th.
AAron Gray on him. Davis came over late, but the shot had no chance. Look I like Bynum. But drew is not ready to be the focal point of an offense especially one with no high quality PGs
