Re: the official Dwayne Wade >>> you thread

Melo looks tired, he is fighting hard, too hard having to gaurd Gasol in the post while obviously doing what he does on offence. Time out, probably just to get em some rest.

The Knicks might have to go with a more conventional line up, they have the bigs in Wallace, Camby and Chandler. Because Gasol is having his way and nobody can keep Zach off the boards.

Okay, HT thoughts.

Both Smith and Bayless are lucky to still be in the game. Glad they are though.

Despite the scoring a high shooting % both teams are playing very good defence.

Rasheed Wallace, ageless wonder down in the post

Gay cant gaurd Melo, unless Melo settles for jumpers and then Gay's length gives him problems. Gay is defending him very well on the perimeter, contesting jumpers and staying in front of him. But in the post, no chance. Thats here Melo needs to go.

Marc Gasol in the post, that up and under scoop

Conely, top 10 point guard. Dont care about stats.

Jason Kidd's 3 point shooting and glue guy work on both ends

Zack Randolf, all star. Double double at the half.

didnt wallace retire? wtf

didnt wallace retire? wtf

He came back. Good thing he did, schooling people aint easy lol

Grizzlies - Bobcats tonight

Going to be a tough test for Kemba with Conley and Allen, two great defensive guards. He'll probably have a rough night. And seeing how MKG handles Rudy will be interesting.

"Sources say, however, that the Hawks have no interest in trading Smith for a package centered around Pau Gasol."

If it's going to happen they need a 3rd team.

Watch the Lakers get him for some BS package lol Jamison, Morris, Sacre and a pick.

Even though Memphis is on a back to back, Charlotte has played them pretty competitively.

I cant say im too surprised by this, if im the Hawks...what am I going to do with this version of Gasol?

Him and Horford make an intresting tandem on paper, but 's age, his general lack of fortitude (especially on defence) and contract length make him a no-no if im them.

[The Franchise]

What do we think about Roy Hibbert? I strongly believe he isnt an all star calibre player and the max contract he got, i felt was a mistake.

This season, 9 ppg, 8 rpg on 37% shooting. For a big man 37% is shockingly bad.

2.4 blocks a game is nice, but this is a player vastly underperforming.

People say, well no Danny Granger, no Collison....this guy is a max contract guy, the others around him should play better because of him, not the other way around.

[dmize]

Hibberts alright, but he's a prime example of how weak the Center position is. Put this dude in the early/mid 90's and he's probably not even a top 15 center.

Dion Waiters

Looking like a complete scrub. One good game and a bunch of 3-16/3-14's since. Cleveland FO

edit: went 2-13 again tonight :dead: More TO's than FG's

Beal, Lillard, Davis, Gilchrist >>>>> Walters

All hype, complete hype.. I knew it as soon as I saw him play in his first NBA game.

I knew it at Syracuse, how does a guy who doesn't even start one game for his college team end up in the top 5

Celtics losing to the Pistons right now This fn team

[The Franchise]

Lakers dropped 40 on us in the first quarter. Our defence is shocking.

Bring back Jeff Van Gundy, this is total shit.

2.5 seconds left and we let the Lakers throw an inbound pass from under their own rim all the way to ours for an open Gasol layup

I dont even......

[The Franchise]

Terrence Jones just smashed on Meeks, hard.

[The Franchise]

Also, from what I see...Dwight isnt as big as he once was. I dont think its intentional, looks like he just isnt lifting as often.

Probably will help him in the long run in this offence though.

[The Franchise]

Based on this evidence, Howard isnt any better than Bynum at defending the pick and roll. Harden is keeping us in this with his play in the pick and roll.

Gasol isnt stepping up and rotating to protect the rim either.

Kobe almost has a triple D at the half.

[The Franchise]

Not official but I read Marcus Camby has the fastest ever triple double with 26.35 minutes.

Kobe has 11, 7 and 9. He has played 20 minutes.

half a quarter to get 3 boards and an assist...very possible.

edit; Nope thats wrong, Magic Johnson had 11 pts 15 ast and 12 rbs in a 1st Quarter before. God damn Magic...what a player.

Isiah Thomas of Pistons had 27 pts 16 ast and 11 rbs in a half vs the Knicks also.
