"Arm Leg Leg Arm How you doin?" (c)T510

The Knicks are championship contenders, right?
They're built to win now.
The Bulls and Sixers aren't.

"Arm Leg Leg Arm How you doin?" (c)T510

Typical early Sunday game performance.

There's always a malaise to these games.

Did he even get any tick for the Cavs?

It's a shame dude's career is where it's at.

he had the intangibles...dude is just a hothead and is surrounded by a bunch of yes men.

bill self practically begged him to go lol

and MVP qualities against elite teams. I mean, unless he's still injured, but I don't think he is. He needs to have a big 4th quarter.

Absolutely no reason for that

Clapping all extra

that dumb shit isn't going to work against any of these clips. only hurting their own team's focus.

if he didn't have both hands occupied grabbing two dudes' jerseys

That shit has no part in the game

But that's a part of the game you don't just chop someone. That's just juvenile

Can't tomahawk someone's nuts in a physical game just because your jersey is being grabbed.

my implication was that blake plays the mean post game without conviction. he's not prepared for the kind of game post defenders will bring to him in the crunch. he's ticky tack fouling on every play (like everyone does) but not a force.

the (much less talented) guy who fouled him is gonna get punished later on but is still blocking shots at the end of a win against another contender.

it's why blake doesn't look like a champion or an mvp to me.

i would have been okay if he got angry and gone out with some fouls of consequence. i would have been okay if he smartened up and said "ok now they're definitely watching, i need to help my team win here." he chose to grab some jerseys and halfpush thabo on his way to the bench and the l.

into the playof...

oh wait, this game doesn't matter - OKPlayer

best believe if the 6ers had a chance to win a season series against MIA

would it matter

hell yeah, fuckin right!

LAC and OKC bangin all day

but regular season games don't matter

c'mon

Russy!

And we play them twice the next two games in a home and home that spans 3 days.

We gotta get today's at home

ibaka a sneaky dirty ass african nygga

Perkins a ho nygga

KD got pre- alopecia

Westbrook going to catch a case this offseason

Dallas Heatvricks BACK 2 BACK CHAMPS!!

that pump fake that fouled Mask out had Olajuwon written all over it

of course Mcfail takes him out while hes hot and hustling his ass off.

but he had a play where he hit a 3, came down on d, and somehow left someone open by 20 feet.

dumb rookie shit, but ambidextrous, post game, runs the floor, hits the three, and a good interior passer?

not bad for a 20 pick.

thomas robinson. they're gonna have to strip down everything he thinks he knows about basketball save for running, dunking, and rebounding. EVERYTHING ELSE has to go. I guess the hoops einstein that is bill self doesn't teach screen setting.

and as I'm watching, robinson passes to beverly, the lane is wide open, so robinson decides to hang at the 3 pt line while his teammate is trapped. smh he's just hoops stupid.

and Truth has completely fucked Darren Collison's juju. He's getting abused.

That was a dunk if he just cut hard.

That 1st dunk he got is what we need. We need him to just be a Bamma, run, jump, and hustle. We can build up from there.


These defensive rotations are atrocious.

and see what they got. I mean Greg Smith definitely shouldnt lose minutes to Trob.

Jeremy started off aggressive and was playing great, then hes on the bench for 6-7 minutes straight

and damn are the bobcats really this bad?
feels like every other day they're getting dubbed by double digits

Jesus fucking Christ....

is shooting.

He showed me

in 2 games....ugh

cause they stay giving points away.

right behind the Knicks statistically and a large part of that is skewed by Asik.

Id have to look at the numbers tho. From memory Im thinking the games we win---we shoot really well and get "excessive" ft pts, but i can attribute a number of our losses to bad ft shooting.

the 3rd qtr for whatever reason is his kryptonite.

Id love it if someone in houston media addressed how bad he is in the 3rd.

Dude will be at 10 and 6 going into half and im like okay, we can almost double that and its a decent game....

NOPE ends 3rd qtr at 11 and 6.

Turner airballing a floater 4 ft from the basket ain't help none

come to think of it: he hit a j, drew a foul on jrue holiday, blocked evan turner, then stared down david falk after hitting another j. bet he felt pretty good.

beal tho :/

Yeah Beal reacted badly, like it was a break. Lemme find out it just a sprain. ***crosses fingers***

Took his time. Played with control aggression.

and traded two lotto picks (technically) for a dude who looks like a certified bust so far
parsons is a nice player and all but honestly anything pass pick 15 is basically a crap shoot
much less 2nd rounders

obviously you take parsons at that money
but a comparison is not even the point
just that drafting is an inexact science , especially at the later picks

however if he's with the rockets and does what he did in portland, if morey gets into a bidding war with someone over him, he's then stuck at that price.

instead of compounding the "mistake" of trading batum for dorsey, by not having a wingman of batum's approximate talents by 2013, now he's got one who for the money and production, is a push if not better.

and peep the 2nd rounders he's drafted:
landry
budinger
parsons
scola

they've obviously got a knack for finding value there. partly why marcus morris was moved. that phx pick might yield something in the high 30's.

if he can do things like that against the pnr, he'll be alright while the rest of his game comes around.

beverly is a menace on D.

Dallas Heatvricks BACK 2 BACK CHAMPS!!

Dallas Heatvricks BACK 2 BACK CHAMPS!!

Dirk misses jt and jt misses dirk.

Lets see olbrecht and Terrence play at least 8 minutes.

I'm okay running up the scores but we just gotta be ready Wednesday.
We owe them an ads whooping after losing 11 straight. Fuck Dallas.

Half our rotation is not black

We may move up to 7th!

this team was in an ugly mid-season funk.

... he'll be a shell of himself. Deng too.

Then to open the 2nd, turnovers and 3's...we were on the brink of going down big but Blake made a great play with the shot clock running down and Jamison caught fire. Metta didn't see any action in the 2nd, lets keep it that way for the 4th.

Dwight is missin some absolute gimmies man, but on the other end, Teague has missed some open looks.

Keep the fucking turnovers under control and we'll be alright.

12 straight points. At least Kobe hit that 3 to double the lead going into the 4th.

they do a terrible job in transition defense

Kobe makes those two and Atlanta is in a completely different gameplan.

Teague and Zaza hit him man.

but yea this kobe burst is crazy right now....i havent seen him this explosive in a long time.

but Josh Smith is dumb

Unless you want criticize him for not handling a bad pass. Devin passed that too high and too late.

Allowed Clark to recover just enough to get his hand in from behind and once Josh bobbled and started falling out of bounds (with no timeouts), it was going to be a tough possession.

I tried finding it just now but of course every recently uploaded Josh Smith highlight on youtube is of him getting yammed on.

My thing is you know the play coming out of the time out and you know you have a good shot of getting the ball. You have to be prepared to make that catch. Just like in football they get on wrs for not grabbing a ball that hit him in the hands. He had to make that play. Then on the catch, with his athleticism, he was still in a position to just go up. If he was ready it couldve been a quick drop step even with the initial bobble. Ron was on his hip.

Update: (found a shitty highlight from yahoo)
Dwight had a canopy over him so there was a slight chance of at least getting a call ( even tho they dont always make that oen end game). The attempt to pass it out was just pathetic he didnt even look. He had horford a foot away. Im sure it was hard to see him in the traffic, but the ball just being thrown out blindly...eh

I thought he was closer to being out of bounds but he really wasnt that close.

I monday morning QBacking, but it wasnt on Devin. That pass wasnt necessarily a bulet but given the angle he had, it was rigt where it needed to be. Only maybe a nanosecond too late.


Lets not even talk about his 0-6 from the line since thats a different play.

The pick defender keeps jumping it without any back-side help and a lack of communication with Korver's man.

there was a lot of no calls, traveling and bad defense.

Turn the ball over 21 times against one of the best fast break teams in the league...I think ATL had 25 points off turnovers.

it worked every time..

Horford don't fumble the ball we lose.

27ppg on 47% FG, 5 rebs, 5 asts

but more than that, he's moving so well. he's fast. his vertical is still there.
he's attacking the basket. his endurance is ridiculous, playing 38 minutes a game

appreciate this shit, man. for real

17th year plus all those playoff games...and dude is still cranking. He's a testament to what mental and physical commitment can do for a player.

Moreso than the dunking, his first step is the most telling thing...dude is QUICK right now. I don't know how this dude does it...all that mileage and he's turning back the clock physically somehow.

The first step off the hesitation is incredible right now

only Kareem played at this high a level this late into his career

I guess all those games of not playin any defense left enough in the tank...Lol

"you weren't dunking like that 2 years ago"

he jokingly answered "vino"(wine) then just said he has "no idea"--like even he's surprised

I really wonder if he's doing something different this year during his post-game recovery

There's def something different he is implementing into his therapy or routine.

We aren't winning in OKC and have the Hornets the next day on a b2b.

The rest of the month after OKC & @NO we need to go 8-4, 9-3...
