Didn’t mean to sound like I was bragging, or the only one who was right. Just pointing out his current troubles. I still maintain that he’s a starter in most situations though, provided he can work the kinks out of his game. He’s definitely NY’s best option in their current system. Also, Anthony has got to go. He’s the biggest blackhole in the league [Zach Randolph might give him a run for his money]. He leaves teammates standing around waiting for shit to happen. How has JR Smith done since coming back over?

Yeah I know, I just wanted some of the credit after catching most of the heat for saying the same thing. Heh. Though you have a slightly better outlook on him than I do.

I just don’t think Anthony is built For D’Antoni’s system. As for JR Smith, haven’t really watched him play since I stopped watching the Knicks a while ago.

But he’s gotten in recent trouble for posting a naked pic of some girl on his twitter. Apparently it’s Joe Budden’s ex

He’s playing very well on the offensive end and getting an admirable amount of steals on defense. The problems of late have been due to the absence of Tyson Chandler, which has severely hurt them defensively.

Teams are primarily making him go to his left now but he’s having plenty of open looks given his way. I think if he keeps finding STAT and develops good chemistry with him they’ll do well.

Haha, caught that looking for his stats. He’s having a pretty shitty year thus far, at least on court. Also, Rubio is out for the year with a torn ACL. Kid is really gonna need to hit the weightroom and eat better/more. He’s naturally frail and he couldn’t even make it through half of a condensed season. Hopefully he starts taking the training side of things seriously.

Dang that sucks about Rubio. I saw him go down late in last night’s game and was hoping he had just banged knees with Bryant but obviously its far worse than that…

So last night while watching the Mavs vs Kings game they mentioned what the most watched game in NBA history was.

Without looking it up, can any of you guess which game it is?

Wow. LeBron James and D-Wade acting like the ultimate 1-2 punch in crunch time. Clutch.

It has to be this game raj

His head is 3/4 above the rim.

Sadly this is correct. Ya bill is pretty bad haha

D WAAAAAAAAAAADE!!!

Amazing set up by Wade for Lebron. Dat ball movement… - YouTube

D Wade game winner! - YouTube

I love how Lebron misses and Wade calls for it. To be fair to Lebron, he played very well to force the game into overtime.

I’ll just put this here.

That Green dunk was awesome.

Cool little chart taking 5yrs of NBA shot data and showing points per attempt from every spot on the floor:


So do any of you guys have NBA posters?

I use to have a Penny Hardaway poster as a kid.

I also had this poster which I hung in my house in university but haven’t put back up since I moved out and finished.

Extra points if you can name everyone on here.


Oh and here’s another random nba related pic.

When I watching Kobe’s 81 pt game, I took a shot of the TV.

It still hurts to this day…

I had a Michael Jordan “Art of the Dunk” poster.

I had several VHS’s back in the day. Basketball bloopers, best players highlights, stuff like that. Wonder what happened to all of it.

Sorry if pic comes up small, couldn’t find another copy on google image search

^That’s a pretty cool poster. I think I’ve seen that one before
