BTW, Rondo being a legit MVP candidate is a laughable idea. He's not anywhere close to being the best player in the league, and his team isn't very good.

We can get any basket that we want. This game shouldn't even be close.

Funny both the Cs and Heat have regressed significantly in terms of defense.


That's what happens when you play Bosh at center and Battier at PF. Small ball does not win and this "no position" crap will cost them. The idea that the league is getting smaller and the center position is getting phased out is a myth. There are a lot of young good centers in the league and I can't wait until Drummond and Moose team up to beat down those dainty small ball lineups.

Kobe with 11/7/5 in the first quarter. Not too shabby for an old guy in his 17th season.

He did get his hands treated this summer, no tape or wraps and it shows in his ball handling and shooting

My last comment on Rondo, because I'm coming off like a hater, but that's not my intent, it just amazes me that he's generally getting a big pass from everyone about this:

How is what Rondo did ANY different than what McGee does here, who actually did get killed for this?

Well, the game is not close, 11 pts in the first projects to a 40p blowout...

I know people will start saying... No D antony's sistem wont make the cut in the playoff... but man, what a relief to watch this team play this way...

Another unpopular opinion(and i know i'm a know Pau homer) but everything Gasol makes in the game... makes sense, is like a freaking clinic of how to help your team in every little detail, its a shame he coast too much and has that poor body language...

I can live with 40pts qtrs every single day of my life... (i'm used to 10-15 qtrs in europe :( )

Rocket fans were praising Asik left and right for his defense. I don't see anything impressive.

And because you've seen him for an overwhelming sample size of one quarter, you're an expert.

Howard is unstoppable. He can get shaq numbers in this team (28/14)
.
Just feed him more. Kobe has learned that he'll only uget another ring if Howard plays like Howard. There is no stopping him
