I don't know who scores more effortlessly - Lebron or Durant. They both take "score at will" to a whole new level.

Man, Boston is rolling without Rondo. 3x OT take down of a hot Denver team.

Kings take down Harden and the Rockets. Ouch.

And the Magic over Portland. Nikola is a machine. :-?

James Harden is the best shooting guard in the nba right now. Bar none. And he's only 23...incredible.

Boston now 7-0 w/o Rondo. McGee played a season-high 32 min because of the 3X OT.

gratifying in a way to watch SAS dismantle the Nets last night not because
I have a particular dislike of the Nets, but just to know that the Wizards
aren't the only team that the Spurs can make look like chumps.

agreed

Mem got a good near term replacement in Prince who just put up an 8-8 game.
How many of those has Gay had?

Another game-winner for Rudy Gay tonight.

Yes, his efficiency isn't great but he's showing the value in being a shot-creator.

Indeed, the bottom-line is that they are winning games and have hopes of chasing that 8th seed.

Kobe is a lot better than him IMO. And I think Wade is still better too, though he is declining.

Or, maybe if he made shots more regularly earlier in the game, his team wouldn't need late-game "heroics."

Statistically - using efficiency stats and PER, they're all close, but Wade and Harden have the edge over Kobe. I'd agree that Kobe is the best half court player of the 3.

Regarding the Raps the important thing is that they win more games than we do.

Toronto is Winning, UGH!!!

TGW · Post #714 » by **TGW** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 4:55 am

Toronto winning is bad because...?

Gay went 4-21...he's definitely a shot "creator".

I need to change my sig

tontoz · Post #716 » by **tontoz** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 1:50 pm

Gay went 4-21 and Melo went 5-24. What a chuckfest.

Who is Alan Anderson? Never heard of him but he went 6-8 from 3.

They're also beating these tough opponents on the road.

I hate to say it, but damn Lebron is good. He's on another level right now.

@mcten: Kobe not naming names, but ... "After we lose by 20 or 30 points, we definitely can’t be laughing and joking around"

Barkley punks Shaq here. Webber was talking about how Russell learned about shotblocking by reading a book. Barkley tried to chime in right away and gets cut off. Finally he gets his shot in (5:40 mark) at Shaq

"Is that why you didn't block shots, you didn't know how to read?"

Shaq looked pissed lol.
