Nice! Just saw this on ESPN. Got number one on the top ten plays.

That was pretty Nice. Although i have seen better. Blake Griffin's dunks this year are that amazing. I am a bigger fan of the floor shooting. That is why I love PP and Ray Allen. Especially when he spots up for a triple.

Who are you guys rooting for tonight, Knicks or Heat?

[italstallianion]

JR Smith's dunk was nice, clearly dunk of the year potential, but I think it was (and should have been) an offensive foul. He flattens the defender (who was set), so the only thing I'm wondering is whether or not the defender was in the restricted area, which I couldn't tell, although I doubt it.

 

I think the referee's were too busy watching JR Smith's dunk (although I can't blame them) to notice the clear charge. Then again, one can argue that Blake Griffin's dunk of the year candidate on Danilo Gallinari could have also been an offensive foul since he pushes off with his other hand while in the air.

Don't worry, they'll keep losing by more then one point when Carmelo Anthony is traded.

Heat, I just hate everything New York and always root for their teams to lose.

Knicks

[italstallianion]

Aren't you a Knicks fan? I was curious as to see who the Celtics fans would root for. I'm a Spurs fan and I'm rooting for the Knicks to stick it to LeBron. I also feel that the Knicks got shafted a bit vs. Celtics, so they can really use this game here.

Trust me it won't be by one point I'll be the first to admit it but why does everyone think Melo is the only player we have? This is not meant for you I'm just talking in general. Sure we'd downgrade but we have a nice squad.

Knicks. Everytime my nuggets lose Heat fans always open their mouth. They think they're on top of the world because they have a win streak(most of the teams they beat aren't really that good). It's funny though because they constantly make excuse. One time it would be Erik Spolestra is a bad coach and the next time would be the big three needs more time to work together. I have nothing against the Heat I just hate bandwagons. I remember last year when they got pounded against the Celtics everyone was like "Heat suck" blah blah blah..

[italstallianion]

Tough few days for the Knicks, losing at home to the "rival" Celtics when they probably should have won, and then losing at home convincingly in the next game to the equally hated Miami Heat.

[Jasonbay44]

I was really impressed with the way Joel Anthony essentially shut down Amare in the 2nd half. Very solid effort from him that will probably go pretty unnoticed with the way the big 3 (especially Lebron), played.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Magic trade Rashard Lewis for Gilbert Arenas.

 

Magic trade Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus and a 2011 first round draft pick to get Jason Richardson and Earl Clark.

 

No, you're not being punked.

[Jasonbay44]

As a Wizards fan, I'm glad they got rid of Arenas contract. I know Rashard Lewis has a huge contract as well, but at least this trade gives John Wall the PG spot all to himself when he is healthy. Meanwhile, this is interesting trade for the Magic, they basically shook up their whole team and now have 2 pretty bad contracts in Arenas and Hedo.

[italstallianion]

Looks like both guys have bad contracts and can benefit from a change of scenery. I'm not sure who'd get the better end of the deal. Talk about completely shaking up the Magic organisation.

[Keeper]

Wow, no kidding. The Magic really shook things up.

 

Just watched a Bulls-Knicks game from 1994. Man, those games were physical. Pippen played the entire game, including overtime.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

So Keeper how do you like that Bulls game? What an ass whooping.

[Keeper]

I only caught part of the game, but yeah they had their way out there. They were embarrassed the other night against the Clippers at home, though. Should've re-signed Brad Miller. Omer Asik is terrible, and Kurt Thomas is ancient.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I hope the Heat get destroyed.

[Palodios]

So does the rest of America haha.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lol my main reason is because my facebook is filled with everybody saying "Go Heat!" and they know damn well they weren't a fan until LeBron came. Plus I have 10 on the Lakers winning.

[suns]

Only 10?

If I was a betting man, which I'm not, I would bet 150 on the Lakers

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Where's that 150 going to come from? I don't have money like that to spend. I would never bet so much on a game anyways.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Tough loss. I know Celtics fans are pissed.

[WhiskeyBreath]

RIP the Celtics title chances if KG's knee injury is serious.

[Keeper]

Yeah, pretty much. At least the Bulls are supposed to get Noah back some time before the playoffs start. They need another scorer, IMO.

[Keeper]

Bulls game was fun to watch last night. I loved it at the end when Scal had the ball and Stacey King was like, "Scalabrine in isolation!" And when he made the shot, the crowd started chanting "MVP." LOL. Good stuff.
