That was a flop.

 

[henz0]

i would fire VDG before the bus even left the stadium

seriously.. there's no possible way you can justify that decision

 

[lawdog1]

Only flop I saw was from Jamal Crawford earlier, straight bs. Good game Flop City

You can't be serious?

 

[reduce523]

Damn vdn he sucks

 

[Bert.]

Lebron>>>*

Most Valuable to a team? No again lol Both The Thunder and Heat would be very formidable without Lebron and Durant. The Clips? Lotto bound.

what? take Durant off the Thunder and they would suck

not sure if serious..

 

[memo]

Toronto is going to be pretty good when they get Andrew Wiggins too

 

[chao7]

You can't be serious?

Serious as a heart attack. Also ignore the fact that they got away with an indisputable goaltend. And that Turiaf probably should have got that flagrant for hitting Barbosa in the neck without making any semblance of a play on the ball.

Yep. Steal of the draft. If Kyrie turns into another Lebron and has to deal with years of marginal talent, Cleveland will realize they could have paired their superstar PG with a monster big man. I would have loved to see them develop together.

:LOL Why is it always "Cleveland will regret, will realize"...

No offense J, but you went on and on and on about how dumb the Cavs were to select Tristan Thompson over Jonas Valanciunas....anddddddddd you were wrong.

I don't think I can value your point of view towards drafting as I'd like too. Drummond was a steal of the draft, and 8 teams will be kicking themselves later; but as a fan of the Cavs - I am completely content with Dion Waiters, who's averaging 14, 3 and 2 a game.

Is there a bat signal that goes up whenever I mention Cleveland and your feelings get so hurt? I'm not the only one who has said it. And it's focused on Cleveland not because I have some absurd vendetta (which you illogically believe yet I've refuted over and over), but because giving a great young PG a talented big man >>>> getting a backcourt mate. 

I'm wrong about Tristan over Jonas? So that's settled for sure? He's the better player for his entire career? Jonas has played 30 games to Tristan's 100+ I like Jonas' height advantage and skillset over Tristan's. Their PER is similar, their points per 36 minutes are the same, defensive rebounding rate is the same, Tristan gets more offensive rebounds, Jonas shoots better from the field and from the FT line. Let's not pretend it's been five years and Thompson is an All-Star and Jonas is getting garbage minutes. They're putting up similar numbers and I still think Jonas will have the bigger impact and is the better player. Doesn't mean Thompson is a scrub, but I think he's similar to Waiters. A fine player who will have some big moments, but overall I liked other players... especially alongside Irving. 

And I'm glad you're content, but 14 points a game on 38% shooting isn't great. Waiters is a scorer on a bad team. So he's going to get some points... and that's about it. 

I don't care about Cleveland. For the billionith time, so stop getting sensitive if I criticize them. They're an interesting team because they lost the best player in the NBA and I'm curious to see if they struggle again to build around their superstar talent.  I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong and despite an awful owner I'm not rooting against Cleveland. Primarily because Dolan is terrible too and so are a lot of NBA owners. I wasn't a fan of Kyrie and didn't think he'd have the kind of impact he did... and I've freely admitted that mistake. If Waiters and Thompson become great players, I'll be glad for Cleveland and won't care at all if I was wrong. But god forbid I criticize Cleveland again and bring you out.

 

[Peep Game]

Bradley's flop was damn near disgusting

Not a flop, thats a 20lb differential right there.

this post comment and your SN are very fitting. Did you not see Bradley's second motion when he threw himself back after Crawford bumped into him? It wasn't as bad as when Lebron was bumped by Tyson Chandler, but Bradley should still get some Oscar consideration right there.

 

[hongcouver604]

Toronto can't be done making moves right? Look at all the swingmen they have... I know they're regretting that Landry Fields signing .

@ Rudy


Hollins can go to hell! How many players have we let go in the past 3-4 seasons that was due to "Lionel's system"?

If you really think the Clippers got the better end of the officiating in that game, I don't know what to tell you. Only indisputable goaltend I saw was when Blake got fouled and tied to lay it in and Bass took it off the rim. And Bledsoe got fouled like 3 times in the 4th quarter going to the basket and they didn't call it. Whatever. We shouldn't have got down by 19 in the first place, but we were not helped at all by the officials.

I'm saying

Memphis's biggest issues this season have to do with scoring and all of their scorers one way or another are finding themselves off the team. Not by coincidence, Mo Speights, OJ, Wayne Ellington, Rudy, and a few others all look much better once they leave lionel hollins.

If Rudy was with the Raptors at the beginning of the season they would be contending for that 7-8th spot.

Haha, the hate people from Michigan and Detroit have for Canadians is hilarious. Toronto is a better city then 90% of NBA cities, they'll have a good basketball team one day.
