Yeah.. Lebron + Rondo = Fail.

Rondo definitely isn't John Stockton, but he doesn't suck. Lawl. He's very very good at what he does. But man if this guy could shoot, gooooooooood God :D

On the Jefferson topic, it's going to be interesting to see what the Spurs can do if they're healthy. I think I MIGHT actually enjoy watching them just a bit this year. Lawl.

Random: Is Blake Griffin white? Is he mixed? ><
EDIT: most places say that he's mixed. Black / White obviously.

Haha, come on, stay with your thoughts!

Mo Williams can spread their offense though, what's wrong with him?

If Rondo can develop his jump shot and hook shot, he will be beast. I hear the problem is that his hands are too big so his shooting is just retarded looking.

And can anyone give some links or anything pertaining to Rondo being a jerk?

Btw he wrote on my myspace once, it was epic


Mo Williams shot like 30 percent in the playoffs... that's what's wrong with him. He completely fell off when it mattered most. Lebron needs a pass first point guard on his team who can shoot a 3... Steve Nash immediately comes to mind but he is a defensive liability (but you get the idea). The entire Cavs offense in the playoffs was Mo dribbles the ball up the floor for 7 seconds, hands it off to Lebron who will stand there for a good 10 seconds and then get a shot off as the 24 second clock winds down. All this with the coach of the year (lowl) standing on the sidelines, no less.

As for Rondo being a jerk, there are plenty of examples. Namely in the Bulls series, when he should have been ejected for the flagrant fouls on both Hinrich (when he threw him into the scorer's table) and Brad Miller (slamming him in the face when the ball was about 3 or 4 feet away going for the block).

50% black, 50% white, 100% douche bag.

I want to see him kiss his bicep after Dwight posterizes him.

He trains with Patrick Ewing, maybe not getting much out of it? I think D Howard's offensive game is alittle awkward looking

He needs to not tell everyone on the court when he's going to dunk.
He gets stripped of the ball so often when he attempts to dunk. "Bring ball low, real low, act surprised when a dude cleanly swipes it out of your hands when it's still by your waist."
With his height and strength he shouldn't need to wind up his dunks like that? ;o

I think it's pretty clear that Dwight needs to work on his ball-handling in general. His handles are poor, his passing isn't as good as it needs to be, and he turns the ball over way too much by getting stripped or just fumbling the ball. He also needs to know how to recognize where the help defense is coming from and react accordingly. If he can just hold onto the ball, he actually has some decent post moves with his quick first step (for a big), counter spin move, and sweeping hook shot.

This is actually one area where you can appreciate Bynum's value. He has GREAT hands which can catch tough passes and hold onto the ball in traffic. While Bynum can't dribble the ball all that well, I can't remember very many occasions in which he's been stripped or fumbled the ball, and that goes a long way to helping him score efficiently around the basket. Part of it may be having Kareem instead of Ewing as a mentor.

Even though, Ewing was a damn offensive juggernaut himself (don't bring up that fingeroll!).

Dwight is just fucking up :/

ewing was a jump shooting center and his game doesnt really translate over much to howards. most of ewing's game was either a stand still fade away jumper or that FUGLY two dribbles into the lane and fade away J. Howard would benefit much more from a footwork based center like olajuwon.

and 100% agreed with cyric. bynum has unbelievable hands and dwight would be so much more dangerous if he could soften up those hands of stone.

lolololol. Man the classic "Ewing Dribble".

God that shit was AWKWARD and he was so fucking SLOW.

But Ewing could still score from the paint even with his shot. Too bad he played in the MJ era, and then the Hakeem rapefest.

It was like a little bunny hop.

As good as the centers were in the early 90s, Hakeem was head and shoulders above all of them. That's sounds crazy when you're talking about the Admiral, Ewing and Shaq since you expect them to be about on par, but it's not at all crazy when you watch how he dismantled each of them.

Good god. I mean the Knicks played great defense (certainly better than the Spur'slol) but look at what he did to Ewing.

Not really, he averages 2.9 ppg which means he doesn't even get in the 3 pointer most times.

Can someone link the Ewing dribble, I can't find it on youtube.

BTW, lots of trades going on today. Wiz give up the #5, SA gets RJ from the Bucks in a steal, Pistons ship Amir for Oberto and immediately buy him out.

AMIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


WHAT THE FUUUUCK


* yes, I know he's no Chauncey. Or even Oberto But dammit, I liked the kid.

This whole Dumars thing of 1) sign to contract 2) realize contract hampers flexibility 3) trade away contract... it better lead somewhere good.

PS: Boozer is not "somewhere good"

Jefferson could probably play 7th man for Duncan; he tends to rest alot and will probably be doing more of that as the season continues

Minnesota has so many picks for tomorrow, they traded Mike Miller and Randy Foye to the Wizards for the 5th pick and they already had the 6th. They also have the 18th, 28th, 45th and 47th.
