Re: 2/5-2/10 Games Discussion Thread.
Tonight though it looked like he should have had the ball way more. I really don't like how the Lakers played that 4th quarter playing through Kobe high post everytime. No cut, no off ball movement, double teams on Kobe, turnovers. No good.
It was a great game though, Wade killed it early in the 4th. Oh and Earl Clark was doing a way better job on James than Metta did. D'Antoni didn't even realise that. MWP is a terrible perimeter defender right now.
Boston man. I hope they make the playoffs. I want to see Pierce and KG have a last shot at the Heat.Last edited by Vni; 02-11-2013, 03:23 AM.Comment

Teams don't have to double team Dwight. Whenever he gets on a run wich doesn't happen that often, they just send him to the free throw line. He's not dominant offensively.

Seriously it's not Orlando, you don't have a bunch of snipers around Howard and Howard isn't healthy. He just isn't that good offensively.Comment

Re: 2/5-2/10 Games Discussion Thread.
Yea you don't need to double Howard one bit. Most teams play him straight up. And if he about to get an easy bucket. They foul him really hard. He not as strong as Shaq. Shaq would power through those fouls for and ones.
But damn the Heat ran a double team train on the Lakers. I haven't seen closing/rotation/traps like since last year. That Wade steal on the baseline when he steals it and passes it behind his back. That's just flat out SICK. The LeBron James dunk at the other end was jut ok.
Edit: That Rudy Gay tomhawk dunk.... Why does it look like he broke his arm as he cocked it back?

Celtics just on a roll. I think they honestly are a better team without Rondo at the point, team just flows better Rondo holds ball way too much and plays bad Defense.

Re: 2/5-2/10 Games Discussion Thread.
Running the same high post iso over and over was really bad. The Heat adjusted and forced a couple of turnovers. It's happened a lot that the lakers would stop moving the ball and stop cutting in the 4th quarter. It's D'Antoni's job to call plays at thoses moments but he can't even do that.Comment

I dislike the rash conclusions made off of a string a games by a veteran team, played mainly against sub par basketball teams, sans the Nuggs and Heat.
The Bulls have had a couple nice strings of games and some really marquee wins, but are they a better team without Rose? Hell no.
This run has more to do with Paul Pierce finally playing at a Paul Pierce level, Garnett shooting the ball exceptionally well and Jason Terry actually providing quality minutes off the bench for a change.
As BB said, they will miss Rondo come playoff time. Guaranteed.Last edited by JODYE; 02-11-2013, 01:16 PM.Cubs | Bulls | Dolphins | 'Noles

Bulls are built way different then Celtics Rondo is distributer style PG. I strongly believe in most systems in NBA you don't need an elite PG to go far. Avery Bradley, Jason Terry and Barbosa are not as good as Rondo however none of them put up nights of like minus 27 defensively rondo has and with them combined in a rotation the can produce what rondo was doing.
Rondo this year seemed like he was dribbling way to much and killing the offensive flow. Now with Jeff Green fully healthy again he gets more play time without Sullinger. Go ahead think I'm crazy for saying there better team without him I watch more Celtics then most people here so I see them a lot, I hear what there saying around these parts. Whether its temporary as you all claim as of now when watching them I'm seeing better basketball then I was before that's a fact not just a guess like you are all making sayin they ain't going anywhere.

Re: 2/5-2/10 Games Discussion Thread.
This run by the Celtics only shows they're better when their backs are against the wall and they forced to do things like "try" and "focus". They're not necessarily lazy, but they're arrogant as hell and play down to their competition and Rondo, he of the assist-out-of-an-open-layup stat padding mindset, is the personification of that. It's why he and the team as a whole always plays their best basketball in the playoffs. It's why the last few years they started hot and cooled off significantly midseason, then got right at the end of the season/playoffs. It's been a consistent thing with this group.
They're not going to accomplish anything against any team that matters (Miami, Indiana, New York) in the playoffs. Their offense will stall without him in the face of legit competition and that will be that.Last edited by 702; 02-11-2013, 01:58 PM.Comment

Re: 2/5-2/10 Games Discussion Thread.
There's a dramatic difference between they are playing better after Rondo than they are a better team without Rondo.
I don't think Rondo was dribbling too much, the Ball movement is just better. and Making shots will do that to you. They are just a more focused and consistent team now. It just sucks that it took a Rondo injury for that to sink in.
I disagree, beside the Heat no one in the east really scares the Celtics. They'll be just fine as long as they avoid the heat.
I do agree w/Back's against the wall theory. No one team does it better. This is perfect statement about them. "The worse Boston gets talent wise the better they play".Wolverines Packers Cubs Celtics

No I they're better Defensively with Rondo off the court look up stats prove that statement wrong. Yeah in some ballhandling scenarios they miss Rondo. Honestly it happens in team sports you can lose an all-star and get better. Why don't people accept that still? Unless your talking like Kobe, LeBron then pure talent is overrated. You can lose your "best player" in team sports and get better. We shall see whose right when its all said an done but I'm not takin back what I said they're better off without all me, selfish Rondo.
