I believe it was towards the end of game 6 or game 7, I think there was a controversial call in the 4th and it had my commentator talking like the Bucks got the short end of the stick. Anyway, that series sounds intense, I did not have the privilege of growing up in a sports family and I shared a room with my brother growing up. It was not always possible to get access to a television and it is not like you could stream games (yes, be grateful for what we have today) - sad to know that my memories of that series come from a little walkman that picked up the radio.

I will check out that clip you posted now. I appreciate the efforts, gramps.

by The Franchise Tue Feb 05, 2013 9:35 am

No problem.

I really dont remember the series too well, The Bucks won game 6 so I can only assume the bad call was game 7

by Guest Tue Feb 05, 2013 9:36 am

You could also assume that my memory has gone missing Razz

After watching that video you posted, I do not even care about what I might have once thought - that boy put in crazy work. Much respect for that performance, and once again, thanks for sharing.

God DAMN at that Kobe dunk. Had the game paused so I just saw it but Shocked

edit:

Memphis

Losing to the Suns at home. No closer so they had to run a play for Darrell Arthur( Laughing

) to shoot a 3 with 20 seconds left, which he airballed Laughing

Paul George might be up there with the elite SF's this time next year. This guy is a BEAST. Pacers finally found a legit franchise player.

U mad? hmm

by Zealous Wed Feb 06, 2013 5:54 am

That's not how it works lol

Curry does have injury issues though. If he were always healthy he'd be such a beast IMO. I enjoy watching the Dubs play, there a fun young team.

by Gil Wed Feb 06, 2013 6:59 am

Joking lol. Curry is the best shooter in the league after all.

by The Franchise Wed Feb 06, 2013 8:23 am

Lin sucks, I hate watching him.

That Kobe dunk...my god, this old man......smh

I would laugh at the Grizzlies...that play sounds utterly hilarious...but I really feel sorry for Conely, Gasol, Z-Bo and Allen..they had something good going.

by Gil Wed Feb 06, 2013 9:18 am

Not to take away anything from the Kobe dunk but how did he get away with that carry lol?

He sucks because you don't like his playing style? Really?

by The Franchise Wed Feb 06, 2013 9:52 am

You take something away from Kobe? Not like you.

No, Lin sucks because he is a back up who starts, plus doesnt fit with Harden real well.

Excuse me if im not crazy about my point not being able to hit spot up jumpers consistently and turns it over almost 4 times a game

He shoots 35% from 10-15 feet and 38% from 16-23.

To put that into context, Tony Allen, probably the worst shooter in the league (gaurds) shoots 37% and and 32%

Tony Brave Scotty Parker, 49% and 43%.

by Gil Wed Feb 06, 2013 12:31 pm

U seem mad because you were wrong about him.

And backup lol, he's better than half the point guards in this League. How is it his fault him and Harden are similar players btw? :facepalm:

He sucked early on because he was playing passive and was still recovering from an injury but he's been impressive since the turn of the year.

http://www.hoopsstats.com/basketball/fantasy/nba/playerstats/13/2/eff/13-1

Deal with it.

Backups don't drop 38/7, 38/9, 28/9, 30/14 etc in a span of about a year. Inconsistent? yes but backup? rofl

Not true at all.

PG's I'd take over him:
Paul
Rondo
Irving
TP
Rose
Westbrook
Williams
Curry
Walker
Holiday
Lillard
Conley
Lawson
Lowry
Nash
Jennings
Wall
Vasquez
Calderon
Rubio
Teague
Dragic

and probably Nelson and Felton as well.

He's better than Rubio the 30% shooter, Dragic, Teague, Calderon, Vazquez, Wall, Jennings, Nash, Conley, Walker and Lowry. Agree on the rest.

by dmize Wed Feb 06, 2013 2:00 pm

Rubio looks like a joke right now, but Lin's not much better a shooter. Rubio is 5x the passer.

Lin doesn't even have arguments for being better than Kemba, Jennings, Conley, Vasquez, Calderon.

Lin: 12.5ppg, 43% shooting, 30% from 3, 6.2apg, 3.0tpg

Kemba: 17.8ppg, 43% shooting, 35% from 3, 5.7apg, 2.4tpg

Kembas a better scorer, shooter, assist/to ratio, takes care of the ball better. And doesn't have guys like Parsons and Harden to pass to, so I'd say he's the better passer too. Oh and he's utterly roasted Lin whenever they've played.

I noticed you left off Lillard when him and Kemba have virtually identical stats lol.

Wrong about what? I am clearly right...look at those shooting %...worse than Tony Allen..you are kidding me?

Yes back up...not a top 30 point guard. Deal with it.

Back ups dont drop those numbers? Im afraid they do...go check out Tony Delk, Mike James, Nate Robinson, Andre Miller, Sessions, Devin Harris and Jarrett Jack...these are back up points, all have had monster games.

Better than Calderon, Vazquez, Wall, Jennings, Nash, Conley, Walker and Lowry?

Gil, change sport bro. Laughing

Randolph rumors starting now... :facepalm:

Seems like that could be why they wanted Davis.

by The Franchise Wed Feb 06, 2013 6:02 pm

Their fans, their players and Coach Hollins deserves so much better.

Its crazy. I had Memphis the 3rd best team in the West, above the Clippers despite their record...now...whoever gets them in the playoffs im going to consider favorites.

by The Franchise Thu Feb 07, 2013 9:28 am

Lin

13 points on 3-10 shooting and a whopping 3 assists vs the Heat. Oh and Harden's defence is horrible..im sure its because he is now carrying the scoring load, but its unacceptable how bad he is. We have hid him on weaker players most of the season, last night couldnt do that.

BTW Memphis lose again, at some point they were down like 30 I think too.
