Skin'emAlive Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 i enjoy watching the clippers lose more than the lakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The lakers game was crazy. Lakers were down 4 going into the 4th quarter and ended up winning by 13. The crazy part is that not a single starter for the lakers played a single minute in the 4th. The Clippers starting 5 got blown out in the final quarter by the Lakers bench.

Bubble Screen Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yeah he's been pretty bad. Making me feel bad about how much I spent to get him for my fantasy team...Where do you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Where do you play? Â Yahoo. Â Public league, didn't feel like having to make my own league. Â I don't love the standard rules, but it's low hassle. Â I loaded up on Bulls and Spurs this year. Â Pretty much what I've done every year the past few years. Â The only player anyone actually wants from those teams is Rose but they produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Rose went through and then landed on Battier and it was nothing. lol  Peter talked about it in the offseason, there is more contact allowed around the basket and on jump shots than ever.  I think the officiating is correcting the ease with which you should be able to get to the basket following the institution of defensive three seconds, the relaxation of illegal defense calls, and the banning of hand checking.  If you're a slasher, there will be several times a night you will get mugged on a shot and not get a call.  But at least you can't hand check players all of the way down the court any more.  That really sucked.  I hate seeing that in the college game too, where the ball handlers are much worse.

RonArtest15 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Lack of scoring is going to kill the Bulls. Didn't realize it until last night, but the loss of Nate Robinson is going to catch up with them at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was infamous for the hand checking before mid-court that got the rule implemented in the first place? Was it Marc Jackson? Lack of scoring is going to kill the Bulls. Didn't realize it until last night, but the loss of Nate Robinson is going to catch up with them at some point. Did you see the chart compiled of all of the players that were a part of the backcourt with Rose dating back to 2000... talk about a rude awakening it's been for Rose.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Deng and Dunleavy had putrid nights....sweet Jesus. If they knock just a few of those open looks, the 31-5 run doesn't happen.   Miami is my favorite defense to watch in all of sports though. ****ing beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConcordNCSkinsFan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Stern screwed the Clippers by not letting the Kevin Garnett for Deandre Jordan trade go through when they got Doc Rivers. Jordan is so overrated it's not even funny. Some highlight plays here and there while having a low BBall IQ and poor fundamentals.  Joey Crawford as usual called a bunch of quick fouls on a Miami Heat opponent early in the game letting them take over once Noah and Deng had to sit early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Stop it. Cole put Rose on skates. He tripped because of Birdman's leg but he was already crossed at that point  He crossed him up, no argument there.  I'm just saying he wouldn't have fallen down without running into birdmans leg.   Who doesn't love Barkley's playoff picks?

Ozymandias Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 That crossover was absolutely sick. He shook Rose into the pick by birdman, so technically Cole did make Rose fall lol How about the Clippers tho, Xavier Henry straight wrecked them last night  Btw, whether you are a fellow Heat fan, or an admirer of Lebron, good luck here come playoff time. I probably won't be posting in here much anymore because I don't like having to torture myself, listening to idiots either take the tired, rehashed shots at the Heat, or Miami in general that I'm sure you're aware of, or constantly ****ing and moaning their lungs out over every call.    Joey Crawford as usual called a bunch of quick fouls on a Miami Heat opponent early in the game letting them take over once Noah and Deng had to sit early.  I guess its starting early this year lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
