Whoa don't put words in my mouth, you are the one who was orgasming over Perkins because he has 1 good game. I at least admit when my team sucks, but every time the Celtics lose it's always the refs were bad because that's what Tommy said. The Celtics are not a good basketball team, biased or unbiased. I've said that Davis and Pierce are the only 2 above average and they are well above average in that. Jefferson has the potential but he's not there yet. It's when you start talking about how good Dickau, Scalabrine and Reed are is when I start to get suspicious.

[YanksHater213]

Actually, the refs are bad just about every night, and its pretty ridiculous. How are they a bad team? Theyre going to win the division probably. Nets are looking terrible, and the Sixers I think will slow down because AI plays 987243998549872539857 minutes a game.

See this is where I don't get it, you say the Nets are looking terrible yet they have a better record than the Celtics right now.

[YanksHater213]

Its true. They just dont look right as a team.

 

I dont like their make up anyways. Collins is a pussy, and he cant rebound for his life. Hes nearly as bad a rebounder as Mark Blount, no joke. They dont really have any spectacular interior defenders or offensive players either. It wont surprise me when they start losing games because they dont get enough out of their big men.

I hope you mean outstanding interior offensive players, because Vince and Jefferson have the ability to drop 40 on any given night. I actually like the Nets. I have said that I like them. I agree that their front line is sub-par at best, but their guard/wing play will get them into the playoffs in my opinion.

[YanksHater213]

I dont consider Vince and Jefferson interior players. Yeah, like you said, both are great guard/wing players. As for that sentence you bolded stuff in, I was referring to their C/PF positions

Yeah I don't consider them interior players either.

 

Yeah I thought you meant their C/PF's...just had to check. But its true...Nenad Christic and Jason Collins? Not what I call elite big men.

[YanksHater213]

Ever see Krstic play? Hes like a girl. Its sad. Hes got a decent jumpshot though.

Not actually, but I have seen Collins and Amare Stoudemire OWNS him. Although Stoudemire OWNS like every PF in this league (INCLUDING DUNCAN!!! Look at my avy :thumbsup: )

If SAR just passed his physical...

[Manny Goes Boom]

HUH?

[Moose]

HUH?

 

Shareef Abdur-Rahim failed his physical before he could've been a Net.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Shareef Abdur-Rahim failed his physical before he could've been a Net.

 

Right, right, right...I don't see him called that often. My bad.

[YanksHater213]

Yeah... it confused me too. If you said Shareef, or Rahim or something like that I would have made sense of it.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Yeah but Moose is right, Shareef would have helped the Nets ALOT. A good Power Forward, who can score and rebound. He's a solid player whos always been on s***** teams.

[YanksHater213]

Haha yeah, he has been. Sucks to be him basically. But I always saw him as a guy who plays bigger and quicker than he actually is. Its too bad he doesnt know how to go to a winner. If he stays there a few years, I think theyll be a good team. Pryzbilla, Outlaw and Khyarpa have huge potential, and Webster, I think will be great.

Webster will be great but he is on the Blazers. Rahim is on the Kings.

[YanksHater213]

WAAAAAAAIT. What the hell. I knew I needed to sleep.

[Manny Goes Boom]

LOL yeah he is on the Kings. http://aol.nba.com/playerfile/shareef_abdur-rahim/index.html

Just wanted to show two of what, five best PF's in the league battling it out.

I really don't think that anyone's as good as Tim Duncan though, TD really slaughters anyone who he plays against, he doesn't talk s*** like the other guys, although I think he could win any battle, although I've seen Garnett dunk on him before.

[JimBrown32]

Who you think is the best dunker today, I have to go with Vince Carter, but inch for inch, Steve Francis.

Good point. EB also has a great sportsmanship. Rarely gets technical fouls. I just wish EB was a bit taller than 6'8".

[See Red]

Hate to say it, Manny Goes Boom, but my Nuggets just got screwed against your Suns.

 

Camby gets that rebound with about 2:30 left in a 5 point game, and he goes down and there's no call, which leads to a Suns three pointer. That was a horrible no call.

 

'Melo gets 4(?) offensive fouls and they don't call that? Reminds me of the game last year where Earl Boykins got pulled down by Nash and they called a foul on Boykins.

 

Now it's 4 points with 28 seconds left... we'll see what happens.

I didn't catch much of the game at all because I was at work during most of it. My grandpa watched all of it and said that the Suns got the calls in the first half and in the second half the Nuggets were getting them. But I saw a few bad calls, and my grandpa said it was a very tightly officiated ballgame.

Check my avy. Amare kills Duncan, but the Spurs get the Suns quite a bit.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Christ, Pierce put up 43 against the Bulls and the C's still fell short. :rant:

Yeah, that's prolly a pretty good summary of the officiating, Manny. But it was that one call that the Nuggets didn't get that killed them. Oh well.
