2/13 Game Discussion: Ginobili Goes Off Against Cavs

[Boogie!]

is anyone watching the phoenix/gs game? wtf was harrington thinking dunking it in his own net?

[Bryans_Collar]

B. Diddy is pwning the heck out of the Suns in the 4th Q.

I want another Dallas/GSW match in round 1.

Baron will run Kidd into the ground
Jackson will bitch slap Dirk up and down the court

[bloodfiya]

Oh man, big finish coming up!

[Trilogy]

7th and 8th in the conference continue to dive...New Jersey loses, Atlanta loses again, and Indy loses once more. Philly wins, and might have a decent shot at the playoffs.

Meanwhile, we're back within half a game of Cleveland for 4th; unless Orlando falters in a big way, home court and a first round date with LeBron would seem to be our focus over the final 31 games.

Yea. I don't want any part of Cleveland either.

I still think Orlando is catchable, but it's not going to be them taking a big slide. It's going to have to be us making a charge at them.

The game after the all star break against them is the perfect time to start to make a run at them.

I don't think we'll pull it off though. I kind of hope Cleveland overtakes Orlando.

[Kosta]

Barbosa had a clean look, you can't draw up a better play. Nash with the screen. 'Bosa has hit that shot in the clutch many times..Not tonight though.

[emfive]

That non call on Hill changed the game. Baron undercut him. Dangerous play too. Too bad the refs weren't up for that one.

[mintsa]

Hopefully Shaq & Kidd (probably not) play tomorrow night on the second half of the TNT double header.

[Kosta]

Shaq is very doubtful for tomorrow. Rumor is he'll be in first game after the break vs the Lakers on the 20th.

One columnist suggested this week that to spice up the all-star game, it should be USA vs the World, not East vs West. I'm not necessarily sold on that, but the international team wouldn't be a walkover.

C - Yao, Ilgauskus, Bogut, Dalembert
PF - Dirk, Pau
SF - Peja, Deng, Hedo, Kirilenko
SG - Manu, Barbosa
PG - Nash, Parker, Calderon

[emfive]

That is a good idea. I think it might add a little spice to it!

[Hank_Scorpio]

So when the guy goes off against us, everyone starts talking about how our defense at the 2 and 3 is weak.

When he goes off against the Cavs - a team that if quite strong defensively at the 2 and 3, everyone just talks about how good Ginobili is.

You people so crazy.

[Kosta]

Al Thornton is going to be really, really good.

23 points, 8 boards so far tonight.

I'm proud to say he was a guy I was real high on before the draft.

Saw that, great idea but what about the "snubs" factor. Which American is not an allstar this year? There would be lots of complaining.

C - Stoudamire, Howard
PF - Garnett, Bosh, Duncan, Boozer
SF - James, Anthony, Butler
SG - Bryant, Iverson
PG - Paul, Roy, D Williams

Looking at the roster, why not have team USA play an exhibition game instead?

Right now, I just see a Corey Maggette clone.

Observations:

No love for Monta? Dude's been tearing up the last few games shooting something absurd like .600. Plays fearlessly too.

Stephen Jackson has really, stepped up. He still disputes calls but does so in a calmer, mature way. The funny thing is that refs still think of him as a bit crazy so when Jackson comes running to contest a call they all flinch at first, but are pleasantly surprised when he talks calmly to them.

Is Kenyon Martin back? Denver's been giving him more minutes.

Rajon Rondo had stats tonight...18 pts, 3 rebs, 5 assts, 3 blks, 3 sts. WOW. He's making me change my mind.

Jamal Crawford is two years away and a Eddy Curry and Randolph trade from being a really good player. He needs to play for a San Antonio type team. 6 stls tonight. Otherwise he just keeps shooting dumb shots.

The comedy that is now Devean George...blocks the Kidd trade...then proceeds to shoot 0-11. Is he trying to screw over the Mavs? Although they won by 20 against a fading Portland. Good try though, Roy and Co. B Diddy should have that spot.

Gotta appreciate Babcock's eye's for PG's -> Rafer, Calderon and James.
James is terrible now though but look at Rafer and Caledron. Look at Raf's stats the last 10 games before contesting, and imagine he got to work with Hopla?

A player I would love on the Raptors...Ronnie Brewer or RonBrew. Exactly what we need.


Great games tonight...

I agree, although we should remember that he's 24. Still a semi-steal at 14th overall, and I can see him putting up 16/6 next year, especially if they deal Maggette.

[MoPeteRules]

makes me feel a lot better about Ginobli owning the Raps..

[LLJ]

I have great interest in seeing how the Suns are going to defend without Marion.
