@Philly vs Denver

I think they are equals. Neither team has an Alpha Male, but they are loaded with talent. That only gets you so far in the NBA. You need to have someone who is going to lead and be the go to guy in the clutch.

Orlando looks bad, but I find it funny people are saying Dwight has quit on his team. That’s complete Bullshyt. I don’t even like Dwight but I won’t judge him off that. Just because he wants to be traded doesn’t mean he’s packing it in. Same thing with Melo last year. You all have to stop believing the damn media story lines. They don’t write to report the news. Almost a majority of the shyt i’ve read in articles is all speculation and hearsay from that writer. Or my favorite is when they take the words of an athlete out of context and twist them, then write an entire story based on that.

and because you don’t get wife jokes, that’s why.

HAHAHAHA

@ Chi-rilla – please tell me you jokin about Dwight not quitting on his team. If Dwight ain’t quit on them, then they quit on him. I read a good article on yahoo that was sayin basically that after Dwight called out his teammates, they pretty much quit on him n how he can’t even say shit cuz he really ain’t the team leader anymore.
You can’t tell ur teammates that they just ain’t good enough by askin to be dealt, then shit on them same dudes for not steppin up. You knew they weren’t shit when you asked to be traded then you actually have the balls to tell em to step up?
Behind his back, teammates are startin to whisper “Fuck Dwight”
The only reason he still in Orlando is cuz the All Star game is there n management don’t want him comin back in another team’s uni. If Otis had any balls, he’d trade him today so the fans could boo him the whole weekend.
Losin respect for that dude daily. Now he doin the “If it’s God’s will, I’ll play with (insert player here).
Orlando management comin off as soft n that team’s chemistry is fully poisoned now. 22ppg, 12rpg, 43%ft, 4 ASSISTS n 14 TURNOVERS in 4 straight losses, 2 straight 20 pt blowouts vs Tony Battie, 21 mins of Hibbert on one leg, Okafor n KG? Plus a 30 pt loss to the Celts before they finally beat Indy before the losing streak.
You can want dude all you want in Chi-town, but dude has quit on Orlando. This ain’t the media tellin us. We watchin games…

props to k dizzle for capitalizing the G in God. nearly everyone just writes “god”.

it looks like blake did touch the rim on this repeating image of last night’s dunkdeath

@KDizzle

When a player is quitting on his team, you’ll see it in his game play. You’ll see it in his production. Everything you just stated sounds like Dwights TEAMMATES quit on him. Not the other way around. And are we all forgetting that Dwights teammates SUCK?
If Dwight were to sit out for 10 games and Orlando played 5 good teams and 5 bad teams, they would be 2-8 in that span without Dwight. That entire team is predicated on Dwight drawing double teams so they can shoot three’s.

The real issue that everyone should be addressing is SVG and his terrible coaching that has caused Dwight to want to leave. If any of you were a 7ft big man who could score at will, would you really want to be surrounded by stand still shooters who suck at defense and a 6ft PG who is really a shooting guard? I know i wouldn’t.

I’m by no means sticking up for Dwight, just the same as I wasn’t sticking up for Melo last year when he asked for the trade. I also didn’t stick up for Bron, Bosh, or Amare when they all left their teams. I’m old school, so I like when players play the majority of their career in one place. But sometimes a player needs to switch teams if management isn’t doing the right thing. If 5yrs from now, Derrick Rose is still surrounded by Noah, Deng, and Boozer, without any rings, and no other all-star caliber player to help him, then I would have no problem with him leaving Chicago. But that’s just me.

@ Chi-rilla

all fair points.
I still don’t think Dwight can score at will. He’s like Lebron in that when Lebron’s jumper is falling, you can’t do anything to him. When’s Dwight’s jumphook is fallin, it’s a wrap. That being said, he shot 6-17 vs Tony Battie when his team needed points so I still don’t trust him.
I’ll never compare Rose to Dwight cuz even if in 5 years, Rose asks for a trade:
1) We’ll never hear about it cuz Rose would just go to management n it’ll never get out
2) Rose would never publicly ask for a trade then proceed to publicly call out his teammates. That whole irony annoys me.
“Y’all ain’t good enough for me to win, but I need you guys to step up” What?
Dwight gettin by on rep right now cuz if we did a center ranking over the last few days, he’d be behind Gortat, Gasol, Bynum cuz they makin an impact in whether their team wins or loses. Dwight is barely gettin 20-10′s vs powerforwards n backups…

****Question to everybody else****
Has anybody seen Dwight pull out that Tim Duncan bankshot he brought out last season?
I’m askin cuz I haven’t seen it once n it was actually fallin last season…

@KDizzle

I agree with you on those points. DWight has a Diva-like personality about him that makes me cringe. I hate to see my big man smiling and acting goofy ALL the time.

@Silky
I won’t argue with you as far as Dwights post game development goes. But lets not pretend that SVG is even on Skile’s level. At least Skiles teams come out and play defense. He only wears thin because athletes are p^$$y’s and can’t take being yelled at.
SVG on the other hand thinks that the 3pt shot is the best shot in the game even though it’s the lowest percentage shot. And running a pick n roll with Dwight is just about as dumb as running ISO plays for Steve Nash.
Pat EWing did a great job of teaching Dwight the post game. He also helped make Dwight into the defensive player he is. Dwight just needs to continue to develope. Once his athleticism leaves he’ll be in trouble.

why is it okay to discuss sending dwight to the major city chicago, but it is bad bad bad to talk about paul going to the lakers

hmmmm

anyway, i wuld like to see dwight and rose 2gether on the same team
but only one of those guys can be a max player with the new cba.

love how we can bash the cast of ny but support them when trying to disprove me. ironic

fNf ur absolutely right though, me not including chandler/amare/melo in my analysis

however, some would say amare/tyson=dwight

melo gets no love from ppl here nayway.

but i was more so just looking at the supporing cast around the stars. and how people don’t give any leeway to the knicks for not having a stellar support cast.

but still, lebron aint have the best cast in cleveland and still got the job done. so no excuses. i jus don’t like how ppl can open their eyes to the magic while shunning the knicks for being in a similar boat.

hahahaha i won’t call out deng’s injury. i like his spirit anyway. i respect dude because he plays the right way. (when he actually plays) jk

you blame jordan ? i’ll take it up a notch…i blame social media. and media in general.

And if they continue to suck the rest of this year they should be able to get one or the other.

i wanna be clear..i like amare though..and i think he’ll wake up and become a beast again. but something is wrong with him, i dunno if something is bothering him, but mentally it looks as though he’s checked out. i hope something clicks. as soon as amare plays as well as melo is playing that tandem would close out games.

Speaking of new york, they put up a HUGE win tonight against the powerhouse, former champs in Detroit. How is Chandler shooting 70% from the field for the season, and not getting more touches? The only pass the guy gets is from the rim, it’s insane. Melo put in 25 points and only took 14 shots, an MVP-like performance if I’ve ever seen one…good job knicks! *slow clap*

have control buy it for you…you two can share a room.
