Oh, dude, there's lot's of us who could hit it at 10%...given ideal circumstances. But evidently there is only one of us who thinks he is better than the guys we watch on TV.

I am not sure that you fully appreciate the difference.

I don't recall ever saying I'm better than the guy's on TV. Probably because I never did.

You may not have said that, but you definitely scuffed off a play that you definitely can't say you've experienced at the level he is playing at. The talent pool and game speed of D1 ball is not equal to professional playoff basketball.

CadBane · 05-26-2009, 11:27 PM

Obviously not. And I it seems people missed my point, so I'm just going to drop it.

Flacolaco · 05-26-2009, 11:32 PM

Here's a bold claim for you: I don't even have enough upper body strength to make a 28 footer. Whatup.

I think...we got...your point.

It wasn't a mad clutch shot, as proven by the fact that you could step out in a empty gym and do it like ten times out of ten.

Yes, we got your point.

Now, were we unconvinced? That's another story, Larry.

You don't shoot 'em with your upper body!!

That might be why you aren't making those. You need to shoot those with your legs.

Edit - Gah, chum beat me to it

AxdemxO · 05-26-2009, 11:38 PM

Why dont we start by giving the Magic D some credit when it comes to other player on the Cavs team. Its funny how all year the whole team was great, but now all of a sudden LeBron doesn't have enuff help??? LeBron is being guarded well out there and is getting 40 hard earned points almost every nite, but the Magic are making sure that no other player goes off. and on the other end the Cavs are not playing the Magic 3 point shooters....

Pietrus is doing work on Lebron for sure, but he's still shooting at a pretty darn good clip...maybe 46-48%.

I don't have legs.

Man, you guys are so insensitive. You should just let people that make unsubstantiated claims on a Dallas Mavericks message board make them, and never question their validity...and certainly not make fun of anyone who makes ridiculously absurd claims.

CadBane · 05-27-2009, 12:33 AM

What you really shouldn't do is excessively twist words and flat out make up things that people didn't say. Some of you guy's are no better than Webber, Kenny & Charles when they twisted Dirk's quote about Denver's defenders. :]

Until the next, "Not to bring this up again, but..".

You've looked like a huge moron these past few pages.

CadBane · 05-27-2009, 12:53 AM

Could we please discuss the actual playoffs? Thanks.

fluid.forty.one · 05-27-2009, 01:35 AM

It was probably wise to edit that. You've gone back and completely erased or edited a lot of your posts lately. Perhaps you should think about what you're posting before you post it from now on.

Thanks for the negative rep, by the way.

Mo Williams has done a stellar job of backing up his guarantee. Impressive.

Pietrus and Hedo have done as good a job as you can on James. They're making him earn those points.

James has enough help but the Magic have done an excellent job of defending them.

92bDad · 05-27-2009, 11:01 AM

I guess LeBron may now understand how Dirk feels...to an extent. He needs some help and some other players need to step up and create some scoring.

However credit to Orlando for the way they are playing.

By the way, at the end of regulation, was it me or did Howard completely mug Verejo with no call? At least an over the back...NO CALL...Howard and the Magic are fortunate that the ref didn't blos his whistle.

bernardos70 · 05-27-2009, 11:23 AM

Do you realize the Magic were one contested buzzer beater Lebron James 3-pointer away from sweeping the Cavs? I can't say I believed the Cavs would get man-handled like this.

Other way around, if you ask me. Varejao is a dirty player.

I understand many opinions of Varejao, and for the most part I agree.

Heck, Lebron and D. Howard are my two favorite NON-Mav players, but dang...Howard jumped up and all over Varejao.

Now the non-call is pretty obvious, that the refs don't want to be the ones to decide the outcome of the game, but effectively by NOT making the call they do make themselves a part of the story.

Again, I'm a Howard fan, but he got away with that one and I'm willing to admit it.

Flacolaco · 05-27-2009, 03:54 PM

Of course Varajeo is dirty.

How many times has he tried to kill Bart Simpson now? It's ridiculous.

The funny thing is Howard fouled him twice on that play. He yanked Sideshow Bob once which started Sideshow Bob's momentum into him. Then as Sideshow Bob was moving into him, he wrapped his arm around Sideshow Bob which pulled Bob on top of him as they were both falling.

Granted it was probably a good no-call in that situation after the cheap one they gave Lebron on the other end. Orlando fans might have started a riot if D12 got whistled there.

AxdemxO · 05-27-2009, 05:16 PM

Want to talk about calls?? what was that trip call with .5 left. That was ridicules and the game should have never been in OT.

GermanDunk · 05-27-2009, 07:52 PM

Are you ready guys ??? The Malarias will kick the crap out of the Ebolas !

Another break in concentration and just not controlling their emotions. Denver just fell flat big time in that 4th quarter.

Flacolaco · 05-27-2009, 11:41 PM

Seeing as how they're a flash in the pan fluke, they're lucky to be blowing it in the fourth quarter of the WCF.

I hope they all choke on their post game steak.

Maringa · 05-28-2009, 07:46 AM

Frustrating to watch all of the Denver missed free throws & three pointers, when they couldn't miss against the Mavericks. Nene either has come down to earth, or Damp really is that bad...Melo is also looking average...Oh well..Lakers would have still kicked our butts...

Lebron has scored 49, 35, 41, and 44 points for an average of 42.3 ppg in the series, I don't consider Lebron being stopped. Cleveland's problem is that Mo Williams doesn't play in the NBA anymore.

Blueprint79 · 05-28-2009, 01:35 PM

For the game tonight, you can watch it online at TNT.TV It's pretty cool, you vote on a player from each team, and then the camera will follow them the whole time, so you get to see what they're up to away from the ball.

ty · 05-28-2009, 02:36 PM

A loss is a stop.
