@ tweetgate....That's serious business right there.

That Kwame quote has to be fake man...hahaha.....Kwames feeling himself with that new contract...

Brons "post game" is pretty useless if your not going to post up Dorrel Wright when your team needs a bucket....

1st off lets try using the word tweets in the singular sense, since that's the only one I've used from someone else. I always check espn.com during and after the games and I look at the tweet section and this particular time I saw a question that I would also like to know so I posted it up here to see what everyone else thought....What's wrong with that ???

How about a "___ ____ posed this question on Twitter and I thought it was a pretty valid one. (insert-thought-here). What does everyone think?"

It's not about posting a question you thought was worthy of discussion, its about proper attribution. Not very ethical to post others' thoughts as your own.

Don't do it.

Be nice if Phoenix just left Steve Nash in LA after the game.

I'm so sorry, guess I'll go on twitter and apologize to him for asking the same question he asked because I wouldn't want him to sue me. I'm sure he's the only person in the world who's thought about that concerning lebron.

That Heat game was pretty good. Warriors kept fighting back until they final got the lead. The one thing I learned, Was that you got to hit your 3's vs the Heat.

But Kobe dropping 48! Nice!!!

I was wondering about that jeebs.....

Forcing team to basically hit 3s to beat you....I guess playing the percentages isnt a bad idea...

I just don't get why, when a team is hot from 3, you don't revert to a traditional man to man for a few possessions....I literally don't think I've seen Spo ever make an adjustment on defense.

Exactly lol.

I started to read your post and I was gonna add that they almost did in the Lakers as well.

But then I saw the end of your post and you included them.

I just talked to someone about this. But Spo fundamental on defense is to not allow any of the easy points. Basically shutting down the paint. They will live with rotating out to the shooters. And trapping the ball (on pick and rolls) and forcing the ball handler into a jump pass kind of situation. Which I would say usually works in their favor. They have the type of players that cover alot of ground and play the passing lanes like Revis. And also if you notice the 3's they hit were pretty tough shots. Nate took two 27-28 footer. I think Spo defensive game playing was fine.

The Heat just weren't shooting as good as they did in the first 3 quarters. Which you have to give credit to Jackson. The old warriors wouldn't have played that kind of defense.

Word of advice. Sarcasm in situations like this is never a good thing. The ban hammer is strong here, just be happy when you do something like that you survived to post another day and move along.

Kyrie looks good yet again against Utah. That game exposed how badly we need someone in the middle of our defense. Andy is about the only guy who plays any defense down low except for Tristan, Semih Erden and Antawn Jamison are useless defensively (and Semih Erden is useless offensively too.) Ramon Sessions is obviously trying to play his way out of Cleveland, but he's going at it the wrong way. He's pressing so hard that he's going to demolish any trade value he has. He's playing out of control.

I real llike Kyrie myself. I really find Ricky Rubio defense to be really surprise.

Re: Game Discussion Thread 1/9/12 - 1/15/12

So I'm watching SportsCenter, and I look to the left of the screen, and what do I see? "LeBron Disappears." In my head, I instantly facepalm myself, because I don't feel like sitting my cereal down to do it for real.

But seriously, ESPN ignored the fact that Wade went 1-8, Chris Bosh didn't make a shot, Mario Chalmers didn't make a shot, in addition to others, to get on LeBron for not being aggressive. I could care less if LeBron isn't attacking, if he passes to an open man, that player has to knock the shot down.

It just irritates me when I hear, "LeBron still looks passive, he looks like he doesn't care, etc." It's like, this dude has flat out balled the entire year, and yet he only takes 1 shot in the 4th quarter this game because Wade was having a great game, and now he doesn't care? Now he's disappearing? What if LeBron WAS being aggressive, and he only went 2-6, and he took shots from Wade? Then it's LeBron not being clutch, coming up short again, etc.

Ok, sorry, that's the end. Carry on.
