2011/2012 NBA Thread: Where Weather Happens

[Darthphere]

At the end of the last series...Lebron whispering to Doc..."I really respect you Doc, come coach me when you finished coaching the Celtic 3. I need you."

****, every player in the league would love to play for Doc.

 

[Poeman]

Joe Anthony cannot stop Russell Westbrook...Only Russell Westbrook can stop Russell Westbrook.

 

[Poeman]

Yeah, i wish he was the Knicks coach too.

I also think his son will be a great player in the league.

 

[Darthphere]

Yes, because Joel Anthony would be on Westbrook.

 

[Poeman]

Yes, because Joel Anthony would be on Westbrook.

The point I was hinting at was no one can stop Westbrook except himself

All you have to do is talk to Westbrook and he's make this team self destruct. It's easy for him to get in a one on one, which I'm surprised Wade didn't do. Notice when he led the team in shot attempts through the first 3 quarters, Miami led most of that time. It wasn't until Durant started to shoot that OKC took the lead for good. Westbrook has a short fuse and the Heat should expose it by getting in a one on one with him.

Pat should have punched her in the face with all his rings on.

 

[Poeman]

I still consider Pat Riley a ***** for leaving the Knicks back in the 90's. That team was so close.

Alonzo has the illest tan...Guy must be sun-bathing on afternoons

 

[TheWatcher]

ZO will always be one of my all time favorites. Too bad he's so old he would be perfect for this Heat team. Rebounding,shot blocking, defense, heart, hustle... Everything the Heat didn't have last night all season.

 

[Darthphere]

We have Joel Anthony for that except he has no hands.

 

[TheWatcher]

Or the ability to rebound.

 

[Darthphere]

You try rebounding with no hands.

 

[TheWatcher]

He has hands but I am 95% sure there are made of brick.

 

[SolarTiger]

I think that getting rid of Wade and picking up John Wall and the number 3 draft pick (possibly in the form of Austin Rivers) would be a kick ass move for the Heat. Rivers may not be able to carry a team to a championship alone, but he wouldn't have to on a team with LeBron, Wall and Bosh. They would be unstoppable.

I take it you don't watch much college hoops. Rivers at 3 would be a monumentally stupid pick. He's ranked anywhere from 8-13 right now and is slipping.

Unlike Curry (who is as pure a shooter as there is) and Rondo (amazing court vision) Rivers is a chucker with questionable court vision. He has a sick handle, which gets him into a lot of highlights but if he's picked ahead of Beal/MKG/Barnes I would be shocked.

 

[Darthphere]

He's like The Thing but Canadian.

 

[TheWatcher]

You should consider trading him Amundson from Indiana. They are the same player but Amundson is taller and a better rebounder. They are both offensively inept and from UNLV.

 

[Poeman]

You also forget...Joel Anthony is not a leader


The perfect piece for this Miami team is a player like Tyson Chandler...A voice and a anchor...Someone like Serge Ibaka is good too

What the hell are you going on about?

 

[Poeman]

You telling me Joel Anthony leads like a Tyson Chandler??? He lacks emotion.

Anyways, did anyone hear Jim Rome and David Stern today...Its gone viral

Stern went on Rome's show. Stern got pissed then plugged stephen a smith as he left jim rome's show!

Stern got pissed because Rome asked him about the lottery and if the fix was in. Stern then freakin snapped and threw out "Do you still beat your wife" then declared that rome has made a career out of taking shots.

Again, what the hell are you talking about? When did anyone say Joel Anthony is a leader. We're obviously joking unless you literally think Joel Anthony has no hands and is The Thing.

I am saying he is not a leader and it came up because Zo was a leader.
Why doesnt Turiaf get more playing time? He has no offensive game whatsoever but he is a good energy guy with good defense.

 

[Darthphere]

Ok that Jim Rome/David Stern exchange was ridiculous. How can a NBA commissioner just say that?

David Stern should fine himself.

I have no idea what the issue is with Wade (well, actually I think I do) but the bottomline is, this series won't last very long if he can't attack the basket effectively. I don't care what Lebron does, he didn't come to Wade's team for the guy to disappear, and he's been getting away with it all season. It's impossible now, the Thunder are too explosive, and the Heat bench too inconsistent.
