NBA Season 2009-2010

I know, this has been a pretty top game so far, time for Kobe to get it done.

Man I love watching Ty Lawson play.

 

[Ridders]

Kobe played pretty well tbh.

Don't like losing to a Melo-less Nuggets team though.

Kobe played well, the annoying thing was that when he was hot he got taken off and then we he came back on they kept the ball away from him most times and kept going into Gasol who wasn't having one of his better games.

Gotta give props to Billups, what a performance.

I don't mind playing through Gasol tbh, its actually something I'd like to see more. Perhaps since Kobe had the hot hand we probably should have gone through him more but for the long run I'd like to see a balance between who we run things through.

I mean Gasol did have 17 points, 17 rebounds and 6 assists, you can't complain about that effort from your big man.

I think it's massive that this Denver team has done so well without Melo.

Yeh im not bagging Gasol out, just frustrated at the fact that we went away from Kobe when he was on fire, when a player gets hot like that you keep going to him but i agree on the balance between Pau and Kobe.

 

[Ridders]

Atlanta vs Wizards game postponed due to strong blizzards.

 

[Ridders]

Lebron nearly scoring 50 again against the Knicks.

48 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals.

 

[Ridders]

Very good win by LA over SA without Kobe or Bynum.

 

[andrew057]

Knicks blow a 15 point lead with 7 mins to go against Tyreke who absolutely owned that game.

In other news Durant is torching Portland in the 4th.

 

[Ridders]

Ouch. Poor Portland.

 

[Ridders]

Been reading rumours of a trade involving Augustin and Big Baby.

Really like it from the Celtics side. They could really do with a back-up PG.

 

[Ridders]

1016 fans turned up to the Nets game.

Thats sad.

Curry went off :crazy:

Lakers with an impressive win over Utah despite missing Kobe and Bynum. Gasol's the man atm.

I really think Odom is proving the major difference. This guy is a beast when he really plays and is a nightmare for the defense, he and Gasol are killing it atm.

 

[Ridders]

Yep Odom's been massive as well.

This is precisely why Kobe should have rested earlier. This team is talented enough to do well without him in the regular season. What I really want to see is Kobe fit and raring to go come playoffs.

Jazz wouldve won if Millsap started.

There 9 game winning streak started when Boozer got injured.... I wish they'd just trade him for a shooting guard....

Boozer for Rip Hamilton and Jerebko

I think Pistons do that in a heart-beat. They get to rid themselves of Rip's contract plus add a dominant low post scorer.

Would Utah really want Rip Hamilton for 4 more years at 12 million per? The trade would definitely make them a better team though. It does kind of work for both teams talent wise as one team has a glut of guards but no real front court scorer while the other has a glut of bigs but no good guards apart from Williams.

 

[Ridders]

How about a deal involving Utah and Sac-town to exchange Kevin Martin with Boozer? If I was a Utah fan I'd love that deal.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Whoops, didn't see the other thread.....

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Despite a slow start from Durant, since December 1 he's shooting 49% / 44% / 89% whilst averaging over 30 a game.

Has that ever been done in history? I'd guess only Larry Bird would come close?

 

[Ridders]

Yeah those are insane numbers. He absolutely exploded in January with the following stats.

51.9 FG%, 53.2 3PT%, 89.9FT% while averaging 32.1 ppg.

Those are definitely Larry-like numbers.
