The Official NBA Thread 2011-12

Did you even watch the game? They were down by 21 at one point, down by 18 at the end of the third and down 19 a couple minutes into the fourth. They were getting beat up, worrying way too much about the refs, they got wrecked. They looked bad and whiny. It was their worse defensive performance of the year. Gasol and Randolph were eating em up. I have to give props to Melo though, he was doing a pretty good job on Z Bo. It look likes Melo is finally becoming that all around player people want him to be

I did. The Knicks were competitive. Grizzlies ran away with it in the third. Knicks fought back, cut the lead in half, refs had bookies on their backs and had to make their money. I get it. It was a classic Tim Donaghy game. Anyway, back to normal today, 7-1.

No melo and they still beat the heat by 20. Melo is my front runner for mvp this year, just slightly ahead of Kobe. I know LBJ will most likely win it but that's whatever. The dedication melo has shown on defense and all out tenacity is what puts him there. He's matured as a player and its nice to watch. Hopefully JR Smith follows in his footsteps like he has been since Denver.

lol @ kobe. you need a good record for MVP.

Dude, coaching turmoil, losing Nash, then Gasol, Dwight Howard still not 100%. New players coming off the bench. And he's leading the league in scoring, best shooting % he's had in his career. Playing the PG position, facilitating a team that has no idea what they're doing and almost a .500 record...shit I'll take that anyday

9-0 MSG

Lakers are so so sad right now. World Peace is on facebook asking fans what they think is wrong even....

Barkley is the worst when it comes to the Knicks. He's got some kind of allergy to them. Like, look man, the Knicks are tough this year, get over it. He'll always find something to hate. I could see him saying "Yeah it's game six of the Finals and the Knicks are about to win the title, but the Thunder have more offensive rebounds, so I don't like this performance by the Knicks at all."

Jim Buss needs to die

In retrospect... Wow! But still saying "no" to Phil is just dum!

Ok so it's been a while.... Kobe (shooting free throws on a torn achilles... Legend). Lakers make playoffs (just) good but we'll see, won't make it past the first round (probably, just being realistic) Philllll.

All hope to the East beating the Heat. Who can do it?

Dwight Howard is such a bitch signing to a new team, just like Lebron was.

He's also over rated.
