like i said the mvp is starting to slip through his fingers ...
he probably wont deserve to win it ...
but since he has been robbed of a couple who cares?!

[lefty]

Refs clearly hate Ryan Anderson

[UZER]

Paul always trying to anticipate fouls and committing a stupid turnover.

[lefty]

D'Antoni's coaching

[Killakobe81]

Rox want this one soooo bad ...
not that i agree with sitting Harden ... but a win here proves nada both are missing key role players ...

[lefty]

if Harden missed that it would have been funny, too much ISO tbh

[Killakobe81]

[Killakobe81]

[boutons_deux]

Spurs have NO CHANCE

[Clipper Nation]

at Media already trying to talk themselves into the Rockets come playoff time based on this fluky regular-season win. Last I checked, they are still built around two of the biggest chokers in NBA history.

Also, let's not pretend that DK's playoff paths were so difficult when MVPippen was carrying him to rings... unless teams led by the likes of Reggie Miller, Steve Smith, Keith Van Horn and Glen Rice counts as "the hard road."

Your takes have to be some of the worst I've heard. You'd get laughed out of most locker room conversations but you think you're cool because your takes are contrarian.

[illmatic]

Reggie Miller'esque.

Yet they have a better record than your team.

Clippers lost, but Lou had a pretty incredible game:

10 steals is the new franchise record.

Getting asshurt over a JA Adande tweet. That's why the forum is such these days. Little basketball discussion.

Not agreeing with CN but the east was clearly the weaker conference during Jordan’s reign. The bulls usually struggle with teams with dominant bigs (see Knicks with Ewing and even pacers with Smits). That’s why I always doubt the bulls would have 8peated if Jordan didn’t get suspended for killing his own dad as both fatigue and Hakeem would’ve stopped him. The west teams were spent by the time they got to the finals, after the bulls dispatch the likes of the Bucks, nets and “formidable” teams like the Knicks and pacers.

Besides, the bulls never had a crazy dominant run, even that 72-10 season didn’t end in a 15-1 or 15-0 run. The bulls were not able to dominate the sonics due to kemp (which makes all the talk about how great a defender bulls rodman laughable, he was not where close to pistons rodman and was generally an annoying brat to pull mind games and stat pad for rebounds at that point).

Jordan was great, but not the clear cut greatest. He’s along Kareem, bird, magic, wilt and Russell as candidates.

At this point, comparing lebron to Jordan is a little of a stretch. Lebron won 3 les on absolutely loaded teams. Jordan won 6 on perimeter loaded teams but below average front court.

The only players who can claim winning les in the modern era with average support are Hakeem, Duncan and dirk. And really that doesn’t mean much.
