Re: NBA Off Topic

David Stern don't **** with Snitches I see LOL:

Hawks GM Danny Ferry is being fined $15,000 for being a snitch.
Rajon Rondo bumped referee Rodney Mott on Sunday night and he will pay the price for that by sitting out Monday night.
But after the game when it happened Ferry approached the referees and gave them the video of the play. The tattletale. But the league has a hard and fast rule about players or team officials approaching a referee after the game, for any reason, so he Ferry was given a $15,000 fine by the league.
The whole thing kind of makes me laugh, mostly because I don’t have to write the check.

And Tommy Heinsohn's thoughts:

Re: NBA Off Topic

Like Dwight isn't capable of scoring 30? Or Nash and Gasol can't score 20? Regardless, if you're going to use the hyperbole of Kobe scoring 15 points a game (more LOL please than anything else said), then it's not ridiculous to think these guys can do that either.

Neither scenario would play out BUT D-12 (pre-back injury) was never capable of averaging 30.

Kobe's defense + Gasol being out of shape/hurt + D-12 not being at his best are the main reasons to me. Look at how poor their perimeter defenders are (and have been for a while). I believe they thought Dwight was going to suddenly mask their deficiencies but what's very evident to me is how low his bball IQ is. He misses assignments, rotations, and because he's not on a different level athletically anymore he can't get away with cheating.

26th in pts against
17th in opponents fg% & 3pt%
26th in forced turnovers
Opponents 8th in most shots at the rim

All glaring signs of defiencies on D (mostly perimeter focused)

Anxiety disorder.

Thanks.

If he has a phobia of flying, he can go to therapy to work on it. What has he done on his own to fix his problem? What did he expect would happen when he made it on an NBA team? Ridiculous

Yeah, I don't get it. Granted, I have no clue what it's like to have anxiety disorder, but the dude managed through daycare, elementary, middle, high, and college... what's the problem now? Focus on the court and block everything else out (I'm assuming that's what he was doing). And if he knew coming in that it would be this big problem, why put yourself in a career that involves being in front of/around millions of people? Maybe dude really just wanted to get the check, then dip.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Obviously, Kobe gets some credit for those championships.
But personally I give more credit to Shaq and Phil.

If you don't give Kobe all the credit, you're not giving him any credit. That's what it seems to be. Because no one in here (with the exception of maybe Kash lol) would say Kobe doesn't deserve any credit, but to some that means we all hate him.

Edited, no point in arguing forever, everyone will make his own opinion on the subject.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Sam Amick @sam_amick

The Milwaukee Bucks and coach Scott Skiles have agreed to part ways immediately, USA Today Sports has learned. Story to come.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA

Milwaukee has made assistant Jim Boylan its interim coach, league source tells Y! Sports.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA

Close coaching friend of ex-Bucks coach Scott Skiles tells Y! Sports: "Scott hated his team."

Lol I love this move, was never really a fan of Harrelson, but I am a Birdman fan!

If he can stay out of trouble..

Re: NBA Off Topic

First off, Scott Skiles coaching Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings, and people expected him to like the team? Jennings and Ellis are essentially the anti-Skiles. Boylan's good enough for the rest of the year though. They're a mediocre team, they'll at least play like one now.

For those that missed the Melo/KG Drama

Apparently Melo went after KG after the game as well

Re: NBA Off Topic

Did anyone besides me pay attention to the elbow Garnett tried to throw at Amare on the drive?

Thats some foul ish right there, smh

Re: NBA Off Topic

I doubt the Bucks will hire another coach because Hammond, the GM, is in the last year of his contract just like Skiles was.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Comment from ESPN:

"Mavs are getting younger

From a 39 year old Jkidd to a 38 year old Fisher and now to a 37 year old Mike James."



Man, this is tough season. Can't we please fast forward to June? Dirk is 100% on his assessment of the front office. We rolling the dice and are pretty much guaranteed to get nothing in free agency. Paul or Howard will not leave LA to come to Dallas. It's just not happening.

LOL WE SIGNED MIKE JAMES?

Oh lord this is going badly. How long until we give Delonte another shot?
