let's do some role playing.


oh, I see you are a potential coach of the year, I better get you fired before everyone realises your the reason I, and this team, don't suck total balls.

thanks, but no thanks for the ewing mentor, I need olajuwon of you ever expect footwork though. remember in 2010 I got them lessons and I came back knowing how to ball? well everyone figured out what I learned, I need some new tricks.

who am I?

talk about imploding teams eh

and about the article about which years had memorable mvp winners i thought it was fair. nash didn't put up 40+ minutes a game with ridiculous stats like lbj this year and that's why his 2 mvp years weren't particularly memorable. those teams and how he ran those teams was the memorable part

Yeah its disgusting losing to a team that held the number 1 spot for 2 years. Its shitty when they are so good and your team isn't.

Its the high energy style I think, coupled with the fact that almost every player on that team has a very high basketball IQ. its not for everyone. Its not always aesthetically pleasing. I know the feeling. You look at the Bulls and you just say to yourself, whats so good about this team :S ? Especially offensively and without Derrick Rose. But they are just really good, I cant figure them out aside from saying they just play really really hard and now how to get it into the basket

I guess it might be how we never win "pretty"..? It's all about hustle plays for us, and while it's very encouraging for Bulls fans it has to be the most disheartening thing to watch as a fan of their opponent

exactly. we wouldnt want anything unfortunate to happen to you, really, i promise.

the bulls win with solid team defense, great coaching and depth. depth is less of a factor in the playoffs though, so we will see how it plays out. anyway, in my opinion, the bulls could still win their first round series vs the 7th/8th seed even if Rose doesnt play a single minute.

of course they can beat the 8th seed without rose, its the knicks or the bucks, both those teams are bad. I'm not sure they can top philly, good coaching and wing defenders there, and chicago doesn't have a huge post threat, aside from the booze, to punish phillys lack of interior d.


liking home court a lot more now that indy moved to number 3, they were scary as a 4/5 matchup, atl and orlando aren't scary at all.

Move out the way Lob City, Laker Nation still owns this town.

Final stats for Kobe and Bynum the one two punch that KO'd the clips tonight.

Kobe: 31 pts, 5 Rebs, 6 assists

Bynum: 36 pts, 8 rebs, 4 blks


Yea more importantly Kobe's been saving the clutch jumper a few games now. No double team and hes going to make that over a smaller defender. I mean he takes alot of bad shots and his percentages are really off. But man, you just cant not like how much clutch gene he has.


2 clutch shots in 2 consecutive games.

And there's still people that argue that Kobe isn't clutch. It blows my mind.

It blows my mind that people still thinks he's the epitome of clutch. Statistically he's average, shooting about 31% (when trailing by one or two points, or tied, in the final 24 seconds of regular-season and playoff games since 1996-97. NBA-wide the avg is 29.7%). According to that even lebron is more accurate at 33%. It's just the sheer volume of shots kobe takes at the end of games that makes it seem like he's always hitting them. He also has an incredibly low assist count over the same period in the last 24 seconds. I'd take cp3/durant/melo/dirk over kobe in the clutch any day.


I agree with this so much.

Melo?

rofl.

That just tells you how deceiving stats can be, that you'll trust them to go with Melo in a clutch situation over Kobe Bryant.
You're so busy reading numbers that you're completely missing what's right in front of you.

Dirk CP3 and Durant are all clutch as well, and they share with Kobe something Melo sorely lacks. A true competitiveness that never dies no matter what the score is and that inspires the teammates around him to keep playing.


Come on, stop it.

Vindicare can't even detect sarcasm, don't expect him to understand what evidence means.


Oh I called you on yours, it was just such an outlandish statment the fact someone even said it sarcastically got to me admittedly more than it should.

As for evidence.



And that video doesn't even include clips from 2011 or 2012. Which would add at least another 8-10 shots.


A highlight reel as evidence for clutch is almost as dumb as thinking 2 clutch shots in consecutive games is proof of clutch

March 13, Grizzlies vs Lakers. Game tied at 97 with 20 seconds left when Kobe takes the final shot for the Lakers. BRICK!

March 14, Hornets vs Lakers. Game tied at 93 with 2 seconds left when Kobe takes the final shot of regulation. BRICK!

March 18, Jazz vs Lakers. Lakers down by 3 with 4 seconds left when Kobe takes the final 3 pointer to tie the game. BRICK! No overtime this time.

So tired of Kobe fans that will go crazy every time he hits the game winner but are no where to be found when he bricks the final shot in 3 out of 4 consecutive games.

man, I'm sad about all this orlando drama. Not so much because the team is falling apart, but i thought van gundy and dwight would be people who would get along great. I don't see how you could dislike van gundy, he reminds me of like everyone's favorite uncle. If they do fire him, the only thing gained from it is that dwight is pleased for what, a year? max? Then the team fails expectations, dwight wants a trade, same shit again except now you don't have a coach.

I'm guessing it's cause van gundy doesn't give him "superstar privileges" like the rest. No criticism or anything, etc.

I actually cant wait to see Knicks vs Bulls in playoffs. If NY does anything right the matchups are not bad. And its arguable who has the better bench.

4th seed looking good but its hard to not fall behind philly with this schedule. Im almost ready mentally they play Miami
