Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 21, 2012 -> 07:07 AM) Yea but Chauncey hasn't been healthy for a number of years now, counting on him to be around to lead the charge was foolish. So sad to see VDN lose in a sweep after all of the s*** he went through in Chicago..... What are you talking about? Chauncey never had a major injury before this year. He's played in at least 70 games every year since 2001 before this year. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 21, 2012 -> 08:19 AM) I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, THE CLIPPERS ARE A TITLE CONTENDER. Yes, that was J4L after a preseason game I believe. Sorry Jordan, your posts in this thread just stick with me because you're so over the top most of the time. Hey, they got the 4-seed in a tough conference short-handed, upset a favored Memphis team, and then ran into the '96 Bulls. What can I say?

Him and Rip seemed to have the same thing this year, the only difference is Chauncey's achilles exploded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Unsurprisingly, Dwight wins and Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith are fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 If the Thunder can keep their quartet of KD, Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka together long-term, they are just going to terrorize the western conference for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this would certainly fall under that category. Um, no. That's just not the same as saying that teams that shoot 60% or better from the field end up winning a majority of their games. Especially when Harden is going to command a hefty raise after next year. Nice try, though. Edited May 22, 2012 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Dwight isn't coming to Chicago because it really isn't worth it for the bulls to assume the risk. With no Rose next year it isn't as if they are positioning themselves for a title run to convince Dwight to stay. I guess the only good thing is they could clear out some cap space in a trade if they acquire Dwight, and if(when) he bolts, they have a lot of money to build around Rose in 2013-2014. Not counting on it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 22, 2012 -> 09:15 AM) he is top 5 player in the NBA. Interesting. With so many faults, I wanted to argue this point. I still think I have to given top 5 players are on the court in crunch time, and you simply can't put Dwight out there on offense down two with ten seconds left, because he'll wind up at the stripe and you will wind up losing the game. In typing this response, I discovered our departed Derrick Rose had become quite the efficient player when healthy this year, to the point of landing in the top 10 of PER. Where are you, Felix?! Oh wait, Derrick's dead so it doesn't matter. Full disclosure - I want to put Derrick in here, but exploded legs do not allow. Here are my top 10 players in the NBA - note, this is for a one-year season, not a value moving forward season. Top 10 guys to help win you a championship in 2012-2013: 1. LeBron James - man, I wish he'd have gone to New York. 2. Kevin Durant - love, nerd glasses and all. 3. Chistopher Emmanuel Paul Three 4. D-Wade 5. Kobe Bryant 6. f*** IT IM RANKING DERRICK ROSE HERE f*** YOU ALL 7. Russell Westbrook - he's basically a healthy Derrick Rose at this point. 8. Kevin Love 9. Dwight Howard - achy back, drama, crunch time s***tiness. 10. Blake Griffin - wow, I guess he is a superstar. Apologies to whomever I called out. We party.
