Yeah Wade.. man up... if you are a superstar you are at least worth 20 wins.

You guys need to see his crossovers, check the highlights or something

^ Was it really a win or a loss in disguise? ^

The Nets somehow managed to lose to the Pussycats =/... Other than the fact that they play down to their competition (and only rarely raise their level of play), the Nets need to decide on whether they want to be an offensive or defensive ball club it's pretty annoying because I often have no idea what the hell type of team they're trying to become.

Damn Miami needs some serious help, a team with a player of Wade's caliber should not be this bad.

Jason Kidd another triple double.
Lakers continue their superb play

Bulls choking. They're trying to join that prestigious club of team(s) to lose to the Knicks at home.

Orlando looks real flat tonight, Dwight is the only one showing up but he hasn't been that dominant

Basileus777 · Post #29 » by **Basileus777** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 4:02 am

Knicks win. The Bulls are getting booed.

slowest game thread in history of the intenets?

Lakers @ Hornets should be a great match up tomorrow night. Kobe needs to shake off this slump. They've been winning despite his poor shooting.

NetsForce · Post #35 » by **NetsForce** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 5:19 am

Kobe seems to be coasting right now... Which is pretty scary when you look at the Lakers' record.

I agree it does seem like he's just coasting. But I also think he may be trying to figure out how exactly he best FITS with this team. He's used to being the guy carrying the entire franchise on his shoulders. He didn't HAVE to figure out how to fit with the team in previous seasons. He just had to carry the team and his teammates simply had to not screw up. Now he has teammates that are actually impacting the game, so he has to tone down his game. And to his credit, he has been doing that.

He is not getting enough credit for that. I have always said that when Kobe has competent teammates, he is more than willing to take a step back and let them shine. He was taking a lot of heat for carrying the team over the last couple seasons. Fans calling him selfish and whatnot. Winning 3 championships as the facilitator wasn't enough for some critics, but he did whatever the team needed from him. Some superstars are incapable of putting a team on their back and carrying them through an entire season and into the postseason the way Kobe did, but now some fans are seeing just how difficult it is to do that.

Pretty nice win for the Kings considering the circumstances, pleasant surprise

Post #38 » by **TMACFORMVP** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 6:32 am

Salmons has been fantastic this season. Has tremendously improved his range, slashing skills always been there and an above average defender. His game reminds me a lot of Josh Howard.

Ballings7 · Post #39 » by **Ballings7** » Wed Jan 9, 2008 8:00 am

He really started to impress around mid-winter last season. Which was a preview of what would be for this season.

As much as I've seen, I think he's an All-NBA-level defensive player. People who haven't seen him consistently over the last year and 1/2 probably won't believe it, but, he is. He's had several impressive defensive games.

Just has benefitted greatly from the increased and consistent oppurtunity he's had, compared to in Philly.

He's been quite the find for the Kings. All that summer league domination was legit
