  1. A point guard's job is to create offense. If that means doing it for yourself because you're also the best scorer on the team, then so be it. Rose dragged a team otherwise composed of one very good post player and a bunch of guys who have no [expletive] business starting in the NBA to the playoffs, and if the team hadn't been so ravaged by injuries he wouldn't have needed the last week to get that done. It's absolutely asinine to say he's not a top 5 PG because his assist numbers aren't high enough.
  2. The more I think about it, the more I think Cleveland is in fact the best team in the league. Orlando is not as good (in my opinion) as last year. LA is a year older. No one else in the East besides Orlando can really stay with Cleveland and I don't think anyone in the West has enough to go over the top against them unless Kobe has one more awesome Finals in him. At the same time, Cleveland doesn't strike me as invincible, like last year's team (mistakenly as it turned out) seemed to me. They're a very good team that's prepared to combat every situation, and they have the best player in the league. I don't think they're world-beaters, but I think they're the best in this year's NBA, and that's all you need to be. And after saying all that, they were still a fluke Jamario Moon performance away from possibly being 1-1 with the worst playoff team heading back to their place.
  3. Panthers will stick with Mardy Gilyard, though I'm growing more and more convinced the pick will be a defensive lineman.
  4. We can definitely win a game at the UC. I'm already looking forward to the "Cleveland sucks" chants The Cavs crowd would have to have significantly improved to be regarded as crappy tonight. It took until the 4th quarter to get "Noah sucks" chants going, or to really be loud at all.
  5. This is probably a minor quibble, but Cleveland can't just tread water for 40 minutes waiting for LeBron to explode against better teams. Screw you, Jamario Moon. You'll never play that well again in your life.
  6. The scrubs Moon and Parker 3'ing us to death. [expletive] that.
  7. Luol Deng is absolutely murdering us.
  8. Just the last of the 3. Russell got taken 400 feet deep by Angel freaking Pagan.
  9. The Bulls really aren't playing that great (apart from Flip, who had a great half), the Cavs are shooting the lights out from 3 and we're only down a pair. I like this.
  10. LOL another BS 92-hopper drives in a run. We "give up" 2 of those a series.
  11. Rose got crunched by Ilgauskas, no call. Rose in the same bubble as LeBron, foul. I'm wondering how many All-Star teams Rose will have to make before he gets some benefit of the doubt.
  12. How the [expletive] is that a strike, are you kidding me?
  13. Paxson traded Carney for Thabo Sefolosha on draft day, then eventually flipped him for what turned out to be Taj Gibson. I'm no Pax fan but I'd say that worked out about as well as it could have (unless he'd drafted Blair, but you could say that about every team).
  14. I was thinking about this over the week, would it be a terrible idea to have Soto lead off? He obviously isn't a "fast typical leadoff hitter" but he is probably out most patient hitter, outside of Lee, he has already taken 7 BB and isn't hitting for all that much power, yet. That's a very intriguing thought, which is why Lou hasn't even entertained it.
  15. Then VDN needs to pull a Phil Jackson and criticize the refs publically. IMO, that's the only way you are going to get the refs to give Rose some calls. Del Negro will get fined and they'll swallow the whistle even more.
  16. How the hell are we only two games out of first? Put the Astros in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg
  17. The Bull are going to have to hit more than 1 three to win a game in this series.
  18. Liner off his shoulder. Report is that he's fine, just a bruise.
  19. To the ABC announcers: Stop comparing LBJ to Jordan. Just stop it. MJ is better, will always be better. If LBJ wins 4 or more titles we can start having this discussion, until then shut up.
  20. My streak continues - 1 game thread win in my 5th season of doing it
  21. Not missing much.
  22. I think in my game thread starts the Cubs offense averages about .8 runs per game.
  23. Holy eff, that might have just saved San Jose's season.
