    Magic and Kobe. Well Kobe had a bunch of air balls against the Jazz one year but he was like 18 or 19 at the time. Basically Rose sucks because he didn't have a prime Kareem or Shaq on his team. Shaq and Kobe never had bad playoff games before the finally won their first championships? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws2yhBzJjis I think Kobe was like 18 years old in this game. Magic won a title his rookie year but again, he had Kareem (although he did put up something ridiculous like 42/15/7 in Game 6 of the Finals to clinch it when Kareem was hurt).

    Ah okay then. That completely negates all of that statistical evidence and makes the comparisons horrid. What statistical evidence? The statistical evidence that says Rose is comparable to 4 really good players--including two of the best of all time--as well as to two guys who were really talented but didn't have their heads on quite right? I mean I guess it's not a horrid comparison but I'm not sure I see the point.
  4. SpongeWorthy
    And whoever made the comparison between the Bulls and the Bears was right on. They're easy to root for because they play their asses off but when everyone is trying hard the difference in talent becomes pretty stark. The Heat are basically the Packers.
  5. SpongeWorthy
    Rose's only hobby is basketball. There's your difference.
  6. SpongeWorthy
    And everyone knows the only reason Miami won is because the refs decided to get them back in the game at the end of the 3rd so Thibs couldn't give Rose a blow to start the 4th.
  7. SpongeWorthy
    Let's just assume there's basketball next year and Miami is able to improve incrementally. Does a conventional team beat them? We can afford to take some off the table on defense to get a real flow on offense going. And then I see a weirdly built team like Dallas that has some combination of Kidd/Terry/Barea on the floor a lot of the time (sometimes all 3 at once!). I dunno, I just like the look of it in my mind's eye.
  8. SpongeWorthy
    I hate everything. wacky idea: Nash/Rose back court next year?
  9. SpongeWorthy
    Also the fact that we only went ISO until Rose had logged 35+ minutes and had Lebron covering him.
  10. SpongeWorthy
    Lebron was also beyond putrid in those Finals as well. These things happen.
  11. SpongeWorthy
    And I've been screaming about this all series...let's run a zillion PnRs while Bibby/Chalmers are covering Rose but go ISO when he has Lebron James on him? what the [expletive] thibs?
  12. SpongeWorthy
    And I know I'm the biggest Rose stan on this board but let's keep in mind he's still the same age as MICHAEL [expletive] JORDAN was as a rookie in the NBA. He's ahead of schedule folks. Get OJ or JR and hope the new CBA hamstrings Miami and let's wreck [expletive]. go dirk
  13. SpongeWorthy
    Ok so saying you'd rather have Rose over Lebron is silly. But doesn't anyone wanna root for our guy? He's taking his lumps. Everyone has had to. The only wing players that haven't happened to play with Shaq or Kareem. [expletive] it man. I wanna win with our guys.
  14. SpongeWorthy
    And why didn't Dallas get a few more tenths on the clock shameful homer calls
  15. SpongeWorthy
    Why are you running a lob just give it to Dirk he can shoot over anyone
  16. SpongeWorthy
    I'm not one to beat off about veterans having presence of mind and all that but that was brilliant by Kidd.

    Hoo boy, Dirk is unreal. And Terry should've hit the trailer there.
  19. SpongeWorthy
    How will an extended series affect Scott Brooks' shooting schedule for Franklin and Bash
  20. SpongeWorthy
    Bodie's grabbing some nice boards

    Boozer goes weak because he has no leaping ability at all. Not sure why we keep running stuff for him in the high post. He's not even that good a face up player. Bosh, as annoying as he is, was putting some really impressive moves on us by facing up. Basically Boozer needs to play like ZBo and start as low on the block as possible.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    We should stop helping them double Rose by bringing screeners to him. Or if they're gonna double at least have a guy pick and pop. Boozer always slips the damn screen and Noah can't shoot anyway.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    We need a SG baaaad. Brewer and Bogans have done a great job on Wade (although as soon as Bogans yapped, Wade got going and the momentum turned) but they just can't give you enough on offense against a good D like Miami. Miami's done a good job of limiting the damage on the offensive glass and Thibs need to counter punch. Hopefully the short turn around helps us regain the edge.

    When those two get in their echo chamber where they congratulate each other for being funny and inventive they remind me of Keith Olbermann interviewing a hip lefty blogger. Can I be the hip blogger? For now, but in time you two will need no words...only deep, meaningful smirks
