#8 Hawks up 2-1

Pacers are 2-15 in Atlanta over the last 17 meetings (including the playoffs).

Hawks still have 2 home games left.

#7 Grizzlies up 2-1

Grizzlies have been the more balanced team. They went to the WCF last season, and have been under the radar.

Which team do you think is more likely to win the series, and advance to the semi-finals?

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--nets-pursuing-tr...

PG - Deron Williams

SG - Joe Johnson

SF - Paul Pierce

PF - Kevin Garnett

C - Brook Lopez

I'm not talking about the obvious well known or big name players.

I'm talking about players like Zaza Pachulia. He is such a dirty player that brings energy, and hustles. He could really help a contender. His numbers do not reflect his game.

Name some under the radar free agents, which many people don't know of, or don't know the strengths they can bring to a team.

Here is a list

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8589693/nba-free...

It looks like Rose will win the MVP (Since the media, is driving the Rose for MVP Bandwagon)

I personally don't think he is the obvious winner, but my question is this...

Who will get left off of the All-NBA First team?

Kobe?

Dwyane Wade?

Rose?

Magic Johnson Rookie Season: 18PPG(53%), 7.3 APG, 7.7 RPG, 2.4 SPG, 0.5 BPG = Result didn't win ROY

Steve Nash 2004-2005: 15.5PPG(50%),11.5 APG, 3.3 RPG, 1.0 SPG, 0.1 BPG = Result won MVP

Pick (1) player from each group, that you think is the best.

-((Joakim Noah or Luis Scola or Al Horford))

-((Lamar Odom or Josh Smith or Antawn Jamision))

-((Brook Lopez or David Lee or Al Jefferson))

BQ: Rank the players you chose 1-3.

Here is the link

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/pos...

Top 5 looks like this:

1. Dwyane Wade

2. Kobe Bryant

3. Brandon Roy

4. Joe Johnson

5. Manu Ginobili

Now that a certain Celtic player retired, it is official.

I am the last player left in the NBA, that was drafted by the Washington Bullets.

I've heard ppl say he was a nobody, before he was with the Lakers.

--Prime Kobe 2005 with Caron Butler and Lamar Odom: 34-48 Record. (missed playoffs)

***Kobe missed 16 game's, but the Lakers went .500% w/o him**

--24 yr. Gasol 2005 with Mike Miller and Shane Battier: 48-34 Record

Advantage: Gasol

......................................…

-2006 Prime Kobe w/ Lakers 45-37 Record

-2006 Gasol w/ Grizzlies 49-33 Record

-2007 Kobe w/ Lakers 42-40 Record

-2007 Gasol plays 59 games, Grizzlies win 22 games

-2008 Lakers win championship w/ Gasol...(he should get most of the credit)

Where are all the Gasol Jockers? Seems like everybody is on Kobes Jock. Why cant Gasol get some love...

......................................…

Does anybody know what the lowest FG% was for a player who won a Finals MVP?

Kobe won the award going 66 - 163 from the field, Is 40% perhaps the lowest all-time?

.................................................

Pau Gasol 18.6 PPG (48%), 11.7 RPG, 3.7 APG, 2.6 BPG seemed worthy of winning the Finals MVP...

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AhNYaRKPp.z2...

Good trade for the Hornets in my opinion.....

4th quarter performance in Finals

Game 1: (1-5 from the field)

Game 2: (2-5 from the field, 3 TO's)

Game 3: (2-6 from the field, missed a critical FT with 59 sec. left, turned the ball over with 28 sec. left)

0verall just 5-16 from the field in the 4th quarter's (.3125%)

..........................................................................................

What's your opinion?

A) Your just a hater

B) Kobe just had some off games, he will bounce back.

C) Kobe is not the "best" closer in basketball

I was 100% sure the Hawks would win...I just knew without a doubt

I told everybody, I knew for the past week. That I guaranteed the Hawks would win. And I don't make very many Guarantees, especially when the odds are against my team. I even told a bandwagon Laker fan, at a store today, LOL

BQ: Best Game of the season?

The Bibby 3 off the top of the backboard, Josh Smith swatting Lamar Odoms layups, like fly's, All the 3 pointers drained in the 2nd half.

---Held the Lakers to a season low in points!

-Magic & Bird:

>>8 titles in the 80's

>>>LAL/Boston 11 final appearances 1980 - 1991. (3 of which they faced one another)

-Jordan & Hakeem Olajuwon :

>> 8-0 in the finals, 8 final MVPs

-Tim Duncan & Shaquille Oneal:

>>8 titles from 1999-2007

-Kobe Bryant & LeBron James:

>> Considered by the media, the 2 best players of today.

BQ: Pick a big 3, out of the following players.

I just noticed, that LeBron is shooting the 3 better than Kobe.

LeBron: 34.2%

Kobe: 33.9%

That's crazy...I guess he is no longer LeBrick.

Record Wise: The West has 6 of the 7 worst teams in the NBA

GSW - 20 - 38, T-Wolves 18 - 40, Clippers 15 - 44, Grizzlies 15 - 42, OKC 13 - 45, Kings 13 - 47

That's 40% of the Western Conference.....

Record Wise: The East have 3 of the best 4 teams (Magic,Celtics,Cavs)

.................................................................................................

Seeds 4-9 in the West are better, but isn't it time we acknowledge the fact that the East no longer sucks????

MJ

@ Cavs (42-40)

69 Points (37 FGA .622%)

18 Rebounds***

6 Assists

NOTE:

****18 Rebounds is more than Kobe's career best(15)***

Kobe at Staples Center,V.S. Toronto (27-55)

81 points, (46 FGA .608%)

6 rebounds

2 assists

Overrated:

Underrated:

Which "Current" NBA Players resembles the following players the most?

Michael Jordan:

Larry Bird:

Magic Johnson:

Charles Barkley:

Reggie Miller:

Why are the fans at the Oracle Arena, cheering for the Lakers?? That's ridiculous...
