NBA Basketball

I know the dunk contest jumped the shark years ago...but there is a little piece of me thinking Blake Griffin will go off ala Vince Carter. One can hope.

that kid's hops are plain stupid

[Aeroplane]

Was really bored this morning so I started reading the whole thread...the past is funny

4-22-07

The Lakers are burnt out. Kobe will last three more seasons, at most.

5-3-07

No worries. Portland looks like they will start making repeat appearances pretty soon. After the draft, they will have a ridiculously sick, young, talented, and potentially dominating roster. Oden, Aldridge, Roy. et al. Holy fuck.

6-26-07 ...on whether to draft oden or durrant

Odin without a doubt, they cannot take the chance of not drafting him and having it fly back in their face

5-21-08

Whoever picks LOVE is gonna regret it in a few years.

who wouldn't pay to see the clippers?

[Dex_star]

back in the day you didnt have to pay :/

whats up wit the 'coaches' for the dunk contest? why does there always have to be a gimmick, just let the peacock fly man, let the peacock fly

[Solix]

"The Lakers are burnt out. Kobe will last three more seasons, at most."

I definitely see this happening now. Watching Kobe game-to-game, I think he'll be running on near empty when his contract ends in 2013. Lakers will probably sign a two-year extension just to preserve him as a Laker cuz he'll say he's got some left, but he'll be done.

Well as true as that may be, that's still 3 more years than the last guy predicted.

while we're on the topic: a good read.

“I was talking to my teammate and he decided he wanted to put his two cents into it […] I’m a quiet guy, a laid back guy. But I’m not going to let nobody talk trash to me. He’s on a good team now so he thinks he can talk a little bit. But it’s a lot of fake tough guys in this league and he’s one of them”

Kevin Durant,

on Chris Bosh

kinda weird that he'd talk shit after spending the entire game getting totally punked. durant got to the line a lot on fast-breaks but he was pretty useless otherwise. lebron made him totally invisible. durant even got punked by joel anthony. i mean, seriously. joel anthony.

bosh on the other hand had 20 points on 13 shots and 7 rebounds and his team won.

utah lookin turrible.

gsw should be up by ten more...

yeah not to mention bosh's antics were only after kd told james harden that next time he should dunk on bosh. not that it warrants bosh to include himself in their discussion but shit talking is obviously a part of the game, not sure why kd got so salty about it

[ssheat]

Nobody likes Chris Bosh.

[Classics]

KD just mad his team lost.. Held to 35% whereas CB shot at 61%.

CB is a huge factor for the "Heatles'"

[Solix]

no one to blame but K.O.B.E

Allow any team to shoot 60%+ from the field with 50%+ from threes and you're gonna lose in this league. Bigs played soft/had no effort, poor rotations defense, offensive isolations for the large majority of the game. Kobe shot better than the rest of the team and kept them in it. He's far from the one to blame.

Can't be serious...

In reference to Kobe being clutch, here's a response to the last article and a different perspective on it all. http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/lakers/post/_/id/15380/new-podkast-kobe-and-clutch-with-truehoops-henry-abbott

oh and btw, J-smoove got fined for the big balls gesture, expecting House to receive the same.

[lintmunro]

J-Smoove got fined because he grabbed himself though
