Pack....does Brook Lopez fall in love with his jumper or is his lower body that weak on the low block that he keeps getting pushed out of his position?

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread

I'd say it's the latter more than anything.

I've never seen a big man post up his at the 3pt line or so far out from the basket like Lopez does. And yet he still finds a way to score from that spot.

If they recorded Flukey Shots as a stat, he'd lead the league in that category.

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread

Ah, okay. I thought he had Demarcus syndrome where he thinks he's Melo and takes mid-range jumpers after facing up.

I just thought I'd ask since I haven't seen him play in a while.

Has Deron started shooting better or is it still kinda terrible right now?

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread

Still terrible and according to him, among the many excuses I've heard from him just this year, it's a "confidence issue" -__-

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread

Yea... Lopez has to be the weirdiest low big man ever. He plays like Jamsion (Lakers) but just bigger. Some of shots he puts up your like "WTF!" and then it goes in. And he must dribble the most of any big man with his back to the basket.

The Nets came out with a big game last night. You could see they were fighting big time. I also think Deron Williams needs to play more like that. Joe Johnson was in another world offensively.

But the Celtics are falling part.


Demarcus Cousins is so damn good. I wish he would put it together already. He obvisusly could be a top 15 player in the league. He's basically a young Rasheed Wallace right now (without the 3 pointers)

Also LeBron James just putting up more MVP type numbers.

Soooooo, can we just forfeit our game against the Heat tomorrow and go home and play Cleveland? Or can someone let Rose borrow a knee?

After that second half debacle against the Magic, I'm thinking the game in Miami could get ugly.

Boozer and Gibson combined for 52 and 22 but it's hilarious in a bad way watching Boozer on defense. He scores 31 but I still can't get excited for him as a fan. Thibs looked like he was losing his mind watching them blow that lead.

Here are the only times I'll ever put Carlos Boozer and excited in the same sentence.

"Man, I'm so excited the Bulls finally used their amnesty on Carlos Boozer."

"I don't think I've ever been more excited to see Carlos Boozer travel on a road trip...to another team."

Just a couple examples.

Define "get ugly".

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread

Well there you go then, King LOL.

Thoughts on last night:
-Nets got a fluke win last night.
-Clippers are 0-1 in 2013? FIRE VINNY!!!!
-This Warriors team is going to be a problem for some teams in the future. Maybe even this year.
-How many different ways are there to say Lebron is a great player?

LOL don't get me wrong Pack, I'm not complaining or raising any concerns that nobody is talking about the Bulls. I was just surprised that SF included them in the list of teams getting talked about too much this year. On ESPN, the Bulls get those lazy *** highlights where they show you one, maybe two plays from the game then flash the final score and move onto talking about Tim Tebow or some other NFL topic. Unless we play the Miami's, Oklahoma City's or LA's of the world and lose. Then they show all they're plays.

Did you not see my first post in this topic? Just watch. It's still in play.

[Nathan_OS]

Its not gonna be an easy game for the Heat regardless if Rose was there or not.

I'm sure we'll come out strong and it'll be a good game.

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread

Idk

The way this team plays defense, I just don't see it. The Heat aren't the Magic.

Obviously, I hope I'm wrong.

People actually watch ESPN to see highlights?

They get plenty of love from the guys on NBA Gametime though FWIW.

I wish the Nets could lose "ugly" and play "ugly" like ya'll do as opposed to being the unwatchable mess they are now.

Re: 12/31 - 1/6 Game Discussion Thread

Yeah, I watch Gametime more than anything, but I still watch Sportscenter cause I can only watch the same Gametime so many times during the course of the night lol. When I wanna see NBA highlights though I go to NBAtv, but since I do still watch Sportscenter, I see when they show highlights and it's pathetic and that's being nice.
