The thing is, those scrubs have turned into good role players.

I think the Lakers are coming out of the West.

I'm not sure if the casual NBA fan realizes how good Monta Ellis has become. He looks like a star.

MavsFanFinley · 02-21-2008, 11:18 AM

Ellis is a stud. If people are not aware of him they will be soon. The only thing lacking in his game right now is a 3pt shot but that can be added. He was smart to recognize that as his weakness last season and stopped jacking up so many and attack the basket instead.

Incredible shot by Davis to send Boston on his way. I was so sick of watching Garnett talk smack to Biedrins all night. Biedrins held his own and did some damage imo.

Moments later, O'Neal slammed teammate Raja Bell in the head with an elbow, forcing the Suns guard out of the game.

LOL I wish I had been watching the game to see this. Rung his bell good.

On Shaq:"He did seem to get stronger as the game went on, which is incredible,'' Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. ''I did really think he'd run out of steam sometime in the second half, and he really didn't. Him not being used to anything that we do - 124 points - I didn't think we could put that many up, just starting out.''

That doesn't breed much confidence...

Yea. Reminds me of how giant stars get really big and explosive right before they die and turn into a black hole from which nothing escapes.

Lol Manu has 26 points at halftime. 6/7 from 3.

K, well, I'm not going to celebrate a player that I hate.

some_user86 · 02-21-2008, 10:25 PM

And Spurs still might lose.... 99 (Wolves)-98 (Spurs) @ 39 sec to go in the game.

MavsFanFinley · 02-21-2008, 10:31 PM

Ginobli with a big shot to put the Spurs up one with 6 seconds left.

amuseddaysleeper · 02-21-2008, 10:37 PM

Ginobili is a god

I wish there was a way for him to run for President

LonghornDub · 02-21-2008, 10:38 PM

Was really hoping the Wolves would pull that one out. Mavs need all the losses they can get from our rivals.

The funny thing is, I bet every top 10 team in the west hopes/prays for someone else to drop a game since you could move 3 spots with just one rival's loss (depending on your seed)

DelNegro · 02-21-2008, 10:50 PM

Yeah I gotta be honest. I"m not rooting for you guys too much these days. No offense.

amuseddaysleeper · 02-21-2008, 10:55 PM

But you're Vinny Del negro!!

What happened?

(assuming your were a Spurs fan at some point?)

u2sarajevo · 02-21-2008, 11:45 PM

amused... he was talking to the Mav fan when he said that. He is a Spur fan.

I am thankful for Ginobili. He did my fantasy team good tonight. He's been playing better lately. (just shooting the shots he's supposed to shoot - that ones for amused)

I'm with you too. After all, the Timberwolves are a fluke team. Al Jefferson is a fluke player.

Wow. SpursDynasty-talk has spread here? Amazing. The tool is like a virus.

i was thinking the same thing lol

hahaha you guys are hilarious

LonghornDub · 02-22-2008, 09:06 PM

Rockets up 16 on the Hornets in NO.

Pongo · 02-22-2008, 09:19 PM

Joakim Noah doing damn fine tonight, if he's given minutes he can really contribute to the bulls. Good defense, hustling, he's got hops, has shown flashes of his passing ability.

He's got 8pts, 7boards, 2ast, a block and a steal at halftime vs the nuggets

thats the thing, they arent a bunch of scrubs. they have 4 guys who are top 10 at their position and a stud young pg.

fixed

rockets playing with choking defense and very fluid ball hopping offense.

if they can hold on, it is win number 11

antoinewalker · 02-22-2008, 10:09 PM

wow, the rockets are blowing out the hornets.

LonghornDub · 02-22-2008, 10:55 PM

Suns are blowing out the Celtics early. Still 3.5 quarters to go, but this is a very nice start by the Suns.

MavsFanFinley · 02-23-2008, 12:25 AM

The Rockets win was impressive over NO tonight. I have to admit I was wrong about Houston turning it around but they show no signs of slowing down.

It's looking more like Denver missing out on the playoffs.

GS struggling without Jackson and Biedrins though they are trying to make a comeback.

Phoenix taking it to Boston as well.

Dim499 · 02-23-2008, 12:45 AM

The Celtics are playing so incredibly sloppy. So many lay-up chances given away. The Suns don't deserve to win this game, but the Celtics are even worse.

chumdawg · 02-23-2008, 12:53 AM

The Suns are kicking the crap out of the Celtics.

JVG choking defense(which Rick A. and Yao/shane/Mac impart to the rookies) + Rick Adelmans fluid "keep the ball hopping" offense = Domination

It's because of not abandoning the D:
Rocket Defense:

chumdawg · 02-23-2008, 01:08 AM

I bet that dude scored, with an and-one.

dirno2000 · 02-23-2008, 01:14 AM

Nice night in the association for Mavs fans. Denver, Golden State, Utah and New Orleans lose while Dallas and Atlanta win.

LonghornDub · 02-23-2008, 02:49 PM

How in the world does GS lose to Atlanta in Oakland? That's embarrassing. Those guys are fighting for a playoff spot and they're blowing games at home to the freaking Hawks.

dirno2000 · 02-23-2008, 03:08 PM

Jackson and Biedrins were out and the 3's weren't falling.

BTW, I watched a chunk of that game and Bibby still isn't healthy. Atlanta may not be the playoff shoe in that I assumed they would be after the trade.

Ah, that explains it.

I'm glad the Portland hype has died. They were extremely scary during that winning streak though.
