“bunch of really good no calls at the end”

What a joke. Translation: “I’m really happy the reffs let my boys get away with mugging.” Steve Javie — need I say more?

Your team won. Celebrate. But “good no calls” smack is only good if the no-calls go both ways.

Why was Fischer fouling with 5s left?

Price should’ve been playing all along, but I guess he was in Sloan’s doghouse because he wouldn’t run the offense like he was supposed to. That was why he put in him yesterday because he knew the Lakers wouldn’t be ready for the freelancing that happens with Price running the offense.
I disagree on AK not getting the ball on the cuts. He really didn’t that play called for him very often, and when he did get the ball he would sometimes get a nice pass, but rarely did he ever take the ball and score it himself like Korver, Harp, or even Miles would.

Sloan is kicking himself for not inserting Price sooner in the series. AK never gets the ball when he should, i couldn’t count how many times he was wide open off curls in the post, but his teammates don’t trust him anymore because he only seems mentally there half the time.

AK47 isn’t the same player he used to be. He is terrified to go the hole strong because his two injuries have both occured when he was going inside so his offensive game is now the outside shot which he only hits about 35% of the time. Not only that but AK47 is addicted to video games and stays up all night playing online with his boys in Russia and doesn’t have any strength. He’s lost weight this season, looks like a frail girl, can’t shoot the outside shot, and only plays defense on occasion.

I’d take LeBron. Duncan is a great player but without TP or David Robinson or the other good teammates and coach Pop Duncan couldn’t do it on his own. I think if you surrounded LeBron with some of the players and coach that Duncan has had he’d have 4 chips as well.

So one question, I’ve been told by some that LBJ would be a better draft pick than Timmy D all things being equal. I have to disagree with that assessment in that Timmy has won 4 chips and has been the best player over the last ten years, MVP of the decade as one reader put it to us a while back. But tell me who would you pick?

There are many players who seem to dominate during the regular season when there isn’t as much on the line, but when the playoffs begin it’s a different level of intensity. Head to head CP3 doesn’t compare to DWill, TP, or Billups and in a playoff series he won’t compete at the same level against top competition.
Stats don’t mean anything, look at Boozer…great stats but can’t come through when the competition is playing their best defense.
And the Hornets are down 3-1 to a Denver team that won’t beat the Lakers once so it isn’t just one bad game, I’m looking at the series and the head to head competition of CP3 vs. the other three.

Wow, the Hornets have one terrible game, and suddenly CP3 isn’t great player anymore.

I’d love to see this so-called statistical domination of Deron Williams.

That must be the reason for CP’s statistical domination of the above list of point guards.

Eyeroll.
