So apparently the Bucks are starting Middleton at SF and Butler at PF.

We'll see about this...

All about matchups. I know MWP and Anthony are starting at SF/PF but you'll probably see Butler on Anthony the majority of the time. At least, that would make the most sense.

SF I think you're misunderstanding the conversation...

I don't think anyone is asking "why do people think Chalmers is a d-bag? "What do people find him annoying?" "Why don't people like him"

We all know why...lol

The question it why some (a lot of times Heat fans) tend to be over critical of his on court play...when he's come up huge in big moments..

It's kind of like Spurs fans and Bonner...except he's never come up big of course..

And I'm saying I think part of the reason people are more critical is because people don't like him, he's a d-bag and he's annoying.

People will give you a much longer leash to screw up if they like you.

I don't know how people can come to the conclusion that he's "annoying" and a "d-bag" based on what they see from 3 hrs a night. It's not like he's out there getting locked up, beating up his GF, getting DUIs, killing people/animals.

Bynum has been given medical clearance and will play one stretch of minutes tonight.

GL to Bynum. I think he's an "annoying d-bag" but I want him to dominate down low again.

Re: 10/29 - 11/4 Games Discussion Thread

No D-Wade tonight vs. the Sixers, according to Spo as he's holding him out to protect his knee saying it's a "little sore".

Also:

Jimmy Smith <s>@</s>JimmySmith504 <small class="time"> 1m </small> Make <s>#</s>Pelicans Ryan Anderson injury chip fracture of second toe on right foot. Still out 1-3 weeks.

in you estimation who do you think plays more minutes tonight, Birdman or Bynum? (fantasy basketball related)

Bynum is probably going to play, max, 5 minutes.

Heat are playing 76ers, and the game will be over by the 3rd quarter.

I'd go Birdman for garbage time minutes.

Thanks, I'm really hoping Bynum can have a great season this year.

Knicks going small tonight: Felton-Prigioni-Shumpert-Melo-Chandler

Woodson says they'll switch it up and go big tomorrow against the Bulls.

K-Mart playing tonight and probably not Amare, and tomorrow they switch. Knicks going to be doing that in back to backs, and maybe even non back to backs too, at least early in the year.

I don't find Chalmers annoying or a d-bag at all. There's nothing wrong with having confidence in your game. Ain't no one ever had zero confidence and still made it to the league. Some might be more vocal than others, but every single NBA player has confidence (unless they hit a rough patch and/or are in a slump).

By that logic no one should dislike bynum, or dwade, or even howard. Some people just don't like certain players, and think they are d-bags or what not. Thats just how it goes, im sure there are some players you aren't fond of. I don't like blake griffin, yet as far as I know he's never been in legal trouble. Some people don't like players, I don't get whats hard to understand about that.

Re: 10/29 - 11/4 Games Discussion Thread

What's the deal with all these NBATV/TNT analysts appearing on ESPN as of late? It used to happen before but it wasn't as frequent as I'm seeing it this season. I think even saw Mike Breen was on TNT yesterday.

The reasons you gave for not liking Chalmers were either lame and/or unfounded, IMO. I could see why people wouldn't like Griffin, Bynum, Wade or Howard. Chalmers? Don't see it, but like you said, some people just don't like certain players. Not going to knock you for it but I will knock your reasoning.

Well i guess we just have to disagree. Your reasoning for being able to not like someone made zero sense to me, but whatever. everyone is different.
