Adding to this, they both have incompetent front offices and their teams go from a finals appearance to perennial pretender. Most of Hakeem's prime was wasted, so we'll see if Dwight leaves Orlando to prevent fading into obscurity. | ||

Most of Hakeem's prime was wasted, so we'll see if Dwight leaves Orlando to prevent fading into obscurity. I obviously don't actually think that for real (I had Dwight as my MVP, and I'm from Chicago) it is just that IMO if you called it be the book every trip down the floor that he touches the ball it would be a foul. Either on him or the D. So you have to draw the line in a different place for Dwight. As to your second point, Orlando is suffering from the same disease that Cleveland was with Lebron: Trying to give him a contender right away, without draft picks (because they are too skilled of individual players to ever let their team get into the lottery). What they really should have been doing all this time is trading away players like Lewis and Turkoglu for draft picks that they really weren't worth (Like Clippers/TWolves #1 picks). Dwight + Eric Gordon is a good foundation for a championship team. But I also would not blame him for leaving, the front office sucks there. | ||

So who here read the quote So this is what Hakeem had to go through. and was sure what was meant above?

Don't worry, Kobe has at least 3 more games to volume shoot clutch baskets to erase everyone's memory and regain the throne the king of clutch title. | ||

Drawing comparisons between Dwight's game and young Hakeem's game would be folly. Everyone knows about the demise of the Rockets juggernaut and how Hakeem damn near left after the front office accused him of faking injuries. I'm not seeing much ambiguity here...the situations have so many parallels. | ||

The ghost of Brandon Roy, Chris Paul the (eventual) tragic hero, Spurs and Lakers are struggling titans and the Pacers and Sixers keeping some of their dignity. The NBA playoffs are way too long but if they're like this, it's all worth it. Dignity? IIRC, the Pacers have led all four games at halftime, and have had leads in the fourth quarter of every game. They are keeping pace (no pun intended) with the Bulls. It's not like they got blown out for three games like the Sixers. | ||

The speed of D-wade, lebron, and CP would be too much for any team to handle. yes, but either combination you cant go wrong with, the timing just worked out better for the line up they have now. | ||

They were right there with a chance to win in 3 out of the 4 games so far. | ||

Ray Allen had a terrific series against the Knicks, excited to see how they match up against MIA, who can defend both him and Pierce pretty well. | ||

He is a great guy & I wish him the best but I am not sold on the idea he can do it on a regular basis or be a starter with 30+ minutes per game. Just as the MAVs are not very likely to turn the ball over or miss as much as they did that quarter.

This year has confirmed my opinion of Paul Pierce as highly overrated. I don't even hear the announcers talk about him. | ||
