THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[sea manup]

^ For real?

I wasn't even aware.

When?

Okc

 

[darthska]

Oooooh, wasn't even thinking about that.

Was totally thinking Lakers.

Fisher never played for OKC.

Or GSW.

Or UTA.

 

[youngwolf]

Bruh if the Cavs won it all they could take the team away

They're safe in cLeveLand forever then

Canada bout to take back the basketball crowd


Semi srs

Actually not srs



Currently in Seattle because half of Vancouver has no power

 

[mr marcus]

will be tuned in 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Looks like Moe Harkless injured his ankle in practice a few days ago for Puerto Rico, not sure if he's going to even play anymore

Looking at the rosters, Canada should win this

Kobe led the team in scoring but shot 40 percent that series.

Pau led the team in shooting, played more minutes, had more rebounds, more blocks,had less turnovers, had less assist.

Pau had a legitimate claim to the 2010 NBA Finals MVP.

We all know Kobe and Lebron could and would have never been able to carry a team by themselves.  

Pau was cooking in Chicago too.  Again, Kobe and Lebron understood the need for team-mates.  The silly thing is how Kobe feels he won the 5 by himself, which he didn't.

Not many have won titles "by themselves". MJ never has

Hakeem and Duncan come to mind but that doesn't mean they're "better" than MJ or Kobe or Shaq

 

[MVP]

When the hell did Duncan win one by himself? Hakeem and Dirk are the only ones.

Repped for being the first post since yesterday that didn't mention Kobe or LeBron.

I wouldn't say he won it by himself, but 2002-2003

Tony was in his second year

Manu was a rookie

David Robinson's last season

Bowen and Jackson were the other main players

 

[pmatic]

2003 Duncan won by "himself".

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

There's no way anyone could have possibly watched the mavs championship run and say dirk did it by himself

 

[sea manup]

2003 Duncan won because kobe and shaq decided to take a break from winning all the championships

Kind of like how Hakeem only won when mj took a break

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Debatable. Dirk had an all time performance by shooting standards (if I'm not mistaken)

On paper it's easier to say he did it on his own, but he definitely got help by a prime Chandler

Kidd was older but definitely was key on both sides of the court

 

[sea manup]

I don't remeber much of dirk when the mavs beat us

Only the entire mavs team raining 3s without missing

It was INSANE. Hell even PEJA was dropping bombs 

 

[MVP]

If Duncan did it by himself in 2003, Dirk def did in 2011, contributions from the others are very comparable for both squads.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

But Dirk's numbers against LAL:

25, 9 on 57% FG and 73% 3P

Yeah I would agree with this, I don't think it's unfair to say Dirk pretty much carried them to a ring

 

[sea manup]

Sounds about right

Just one of those games where no one on the other team could miss except it lasted an entire series

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

You guys are looking at stat sheets and what not. Tyson, stevenson, Shawn marion, kidd were crucial on both sides of the ball but especially on defense. Jet Terry also had a huge role. That entire run was team basketball at it's finest. Just silly as hell to imply that dirk did it on his own. The whole team jumped into one of those cryo chambers right before the playoffs and they were quoted saying it gave them an advantage over everyone else. Like seaman said the entire team was unconscious from 3 and ran the lakers out the gym, it was nuts.

Not really, I literally two posts above said the same thing about Chandler and Kidd. It's just a difference of opinions

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It was more than just chandler and kidd. It's not really a matter of opinion, the whole team came up huge.
