Isn't it a nice day!

Flacolaco · 11-15-2007, 09:12 AM

Shaq is truly over the hill now. I know they saved it all up for the 2nd half last year, but the things that Riley has said the last couple of days have really surprised me.

dude1394 · 11-15-2007, 09:14 AM

Got some links or some repeats of that? I don't really read the generic nba stuff very much.

Riley Clarifies Comments About Heat's Loss To Bobcats
November 15, 2007 - 4:08 am

Miami Herald - Pat Riley didn't hold back on his players after the Heat's blowout loss to the Bobcats on Tuesday, telling reporters: ``I should suit up. I would play better than some of them right now.''

A day later, Riley clarified.

''The point is, you can't continue to throw clichés at them about those kinds of performances,'' Riley said before Wednesday's game against the Sonics. ``What can't be tolerated is the whole concept of veteran players continuing to make the same kind of mindless mistakes. That doesn't bode well, and it's something that I have great concern with with this team.''

I saw him on sports center last night saying that they needed to shake up their roster big time, and that some veteran guys or guys you wouldn't expect to see coming off the bench would be coming off the bench.

But I loved it when he said "I should suit up. I would play better than some of them right now.''

If the Warriors get to about 0-10, you can pretty much mail it in at that point. I sincerely doubt the return of Steven "Jailbird" Jackson will magically turn things around since their guard production isn't the problem.

dude1394 · 11-15-2007, 09:35 AM

Well Nelson did get his money..soooo... Sorry chum.

Dude... It is indeed a nice day!

MavsX · 11-15-2007, 09:53 AM

Considering that they start a 5 game road trip now, the chances of them going 0-11 are reasonably good.

If there's anything last year should have taught you, it's not to count the Dubs out just yet!!

MavsFanFinley · 11-15-2007, 11:29 AM

Not sure what's wrong with GS but I won't count them out either. They didn't start off well last year and look how that ended.

Miami is a freaking mess and I couldn't be happier about that. Something must be up with Shaq cause he doesn't even look like half the player he was.

Shaq lost weight??

fluid.forty.one · 11-15-2007, 12:24 PM

I hope GS goes 0-82.

rabbitproof · 11-15-2007, 12:42 PM

Miami's struggles are a little more anticipated.. with Wade hurt and probably the most empty of empty offseasons.. but you have to credit their management for atleast TRYING..

... where as GSW is just laughable. The team experiences its first playoff love since the first Bush administration or something ridiculous. Props to Mullin for playing hardball with every single one-year wonder Warrior but to trade your second best player after such a run is why they continue to represent consistent suckitude.

I can see Miami bouncing back into the playoff mix in that cupcake conference when Wade, who is still a top 10 cat, gets back. GSW will probably catch fire at some point but I'll be surprised if they get in.

At least they have the Baron Davis foot/back injury to look forward to...

I'm probably nitpicking here, but GS actually started out well last season. It was the middle of the season when Davis got hurt that they had a really bad stretch.

I still don't understand why vets aren't lining up to sign with Boston.

nowhereman · 11-15-2007, 03:51 PM

How about a curse of beating the Mavs in the playoffs?

Over the past 4 years:

Kings combust as a franchise, lose Peja and Webber and acquire Artest
Suns lose Amare to microfracture surgery
Heat lose Wade to injuries and owe 60 million to deadweight Shaq
and so far, the Warriors are 0-6

alby · 11-15-2007, 03:53 PM

some Warriors' fans are pretty pathetic, they feel that last year was enough for them--some weren't even expecting a year in year out playoff team.. pretty sad if you ask me. They are so used to losing every season that most genuinely didn't even forecast another playoff year.

GS is 0-6

if they go 1-10, its pretty much over--the Western Conference is too good for them to make comeback. Right now, the 8th seed is playing 2:1 ball (Denver 6-3).

Yeah but San Antonio seems immune.

StackAttack · 11-15-2007, 07:26 PM

As far as I'm concerned, the worse these two teams do, the worse it makes our last two playoff outings look.

mqywaaah · 11-15-2007, 09:28 PM

Yup, I see your point Stack.

The next year Derek Fisher hit a miracle shot to counter Duncan's miracle shot. It's not much of a curse, but at least they didn't repeat.

So basically, the Mavs have been the only reason the Spurs haven't won 5 straight championships.

MavsFanFinley · 11-17-2007, 12:12 PM

GS finally looked like the team I remembered from last season. They got their first win and the return of Stephen Jackson on Sunday should help immensely.

I couldn't believe how well Miami played Boston.

nowhereman · 11-17-2007, 12:40 PM

so what do we do when miami plays GS?

hope that baron and wade injure each other?

chumdawg · 11-24-2007, 02:45 AM

Don't look now, but the dubs are 2.5 games out of the eight seed.

alby · 11-24-2007, 02:50 AM

and Shaq looks like he's back after tonight's game v. Yao

nowhereman · 11-24-2007, 05:46 AM

yeah - that night from shaq came out of nowhere (26/14 with 3 blocks). I guess the Diesel's got a little bit left in the tank - he's just saving it for big nights (like playing on national tv against the guy that took his all star start from him 3 years ago).
