Roy Hibbert is the most overrated all star in the league.

[mvp 78]

Nope, Bosh.

[Jasonbay44]

Nope, Bosh.

Not even close. Bosh Shits on Hibbert. Hibbert is straight garbage. He's f***ing 7'2 and shoots 43% from field and can't rebound to save his life. Bosh is great offensively and only reason his numbers are down are because he's a team player and has completely changed his game around to benefit the Heat. Hibbert just sucks. He got raped by Drew Gooden tonight lol

0 points and 0 rebounds? Garbage. Overrated just like Paul George. At least George can play D, his offense needs work. I still can't believe that the Pacers are the team everyone expected to beat the Heat. The heat's bench would probably beat the Pacers starters.

[Jasonbay44]

At this point I don't even think he's overrated anymore TBH. I think everyone finally realizes he sucks and has stopped defending him. However, I'm still pissed this bum made the all star game over Al Jefferson. I was mad at the time it happened but now I'm even more pissed after seeing Al Jefferson play his ass off to get Bobcats in playoffs and play injured in playoffs to try and help his team, while Hibbert has been pathetic in every part of his game including his effort.

 

Edit: but I agree George is overrated, but I still like him. His D is still there and going up against Ariza is tough..

 

I also thought it was funny to see T-Mac and Gilbert Arenas s***ing on Hibbert

Wasn't Hibbert an early favorite for DPOY? What happened to him?

Hibbert was always weak offensively and especially weak at rebounding for being 7'2. However, he was always at least good defensively and at the start of the season he was arguably best defensive center in league. I don't know what the hell happened to him, maybe its a lack of effort, I don't know, but Hibberts decline since the start of the season he been truly unbelievable. I can't remember seeing someone fall off this hard and this fast.

Wasn't he the reason the Heat signed Greg Oden? I was listening to the Jalen Rose podcast, and he compared him to Robin Lopez. Looks pretty accurate after these last eight games. He was getting owned by the scrub Hawks big man. Nene and Gortat are going to tear him to pieces. Oh, and Drew Gooden. lol

 

Maybe he's hurt?

Yeah Hibbert was actually dominant in playoffs last year against the Knicks and Heat, which led people to believe he was finally developing an offensive game and learned to rebound and led some people to say he was the best center in the league and supposedly caused Heat to sign Oden and etc. Then once regular season started he went back to being garbage offensively and as the season went on he kept getting worse and worse at rebounding and defense and is now up there with Kendrick Perkins as the most useless starter in the NBA.

 

An Injury is definitely a possibility but from watching last nights game, it just looked like he didn't give a s***. There was a play where he could of got a rebound, Gortat was fighting him, Hibbert gave up and just shoved Gortat in back and got called for loose ball foul. Offensively all he does is spot up for mid range jumpers and get called for illegal screens and he's not even a good shooter so of course he bricks his jumpers.

[Jasonbay44]

Warriors just fired Mark Jackson. Very odd, I know the Warriors may have underperformed in some peoples eyes but I thought he was doing a pretty good job and usually when a star player like Stephen Curry wants a coach to stay, the organization will listen.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Terrible decision. The players played for Jackson and the team isn't going to find anyone better to fill that void.

 

He'll probably end up as the coach of the Knicks, assuming that they're able to kick their weird obsession with Steve Kerr.

[Jasonbay44]

Well John Wall just s*** that game away. What an awful performance

[Jasonbay44]

Wizards end of game execution is unbelievably bad. Whitman is a moron

[Jasonbay44]

So Lebron had a decent game tonight

[rjortiz]

Wizards need Hibbert to forget how to play basketball two more times.

[Jasonbay44]

s***** ending to a good season. Hopefully Wall and Beal learn from this experience and we re-sign Gortat and can try this again next year.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

All the hype with the NBA combine is ********. Yeah, who cares if these guys can play or not! Their vertical leap is what really matters!

[Jasonbay44]

I agree... Although, it doesn't mean Wiggins vertical still wasn't impressive.

[Thunder]

s***** ending to a good season. Hopefully Wall and Beal learn from this experience and we re-sign Gortat and can try this again next year.

 

Sad to see the Wiz go down like that. I had hopped on their bandwagon for a while there. At least I have OKC to fall back on.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Lottery tonight. Everything we've fought for since last summer!

[Spudboy]

Do you want Love in green?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Not at the cost of Embiid, Wiggins, Parker, or Exum. Love + Rondo is a second round combination at best without another big piece that we may or may not have the ammo to go get.

 

However, if we remain at 6 (or get bumped further down) and are stuck looking at the Julius Randles and Noah Vonlehs of the world, then yeah go for it.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

7th pick. f*** this s***.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Cleveland gets number one again...

 

It's cool, they'll probably take Aaron Gordon or someone ridiculous with it.

[Palodios]

7th pick. f*** this s***.

 

This is why it is silly to want your team to tank for the lottery.

[jacksonianmarch]

It's a f***ing joke that Cleveland got it again. They completely f***ed up last year's lottery. So they get a do over with a much better draft?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Oh yeah, I'm devastated that we didn't have KG and Pierce hobbling up and down the court again this year. Those extra 15 wins would've been soooooooooooooo awesome!

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Actually we have 6, not 7. That's a bit better. Now we get one of Wiggins, Parker, Embiid (none of which are likely), Exum (slightly less unlikely), Randle, and Smart. I hope Danny doesn't blow his load on Vonleh or Gordon, they are busts in the making. Trading it for Love looks like the way to go though. Edited May 21, 2014 by Jacoby_Ellsbury

And instead, they'll be complete garbage not just in 2014, but in 2015, and 2016. Hooray!

[jacksonianmarch]

They cannot deal the 6th pick for Love. They'd only have been able to do that with a top 3, as those are the only transcendent talents in this draft. There are probably a bunch of other productive players here, but those are the only "can't miss" guys
