QUOTE (qwerty @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 04:40 PM) This thread is an abomination. Almost always has been. I believe it has traveled so far down the rabbit hole that there is no turning back. I suggest to those of you who you detest this thread to venture out elsewhere for your NBA discussions, essentially nothing can be learned here, let alone trying to expand your mind. QUOTE (qwerty @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 04:58 PM) Rowands matter of opinion. Southsider2k4 being a douchebag for the sake of being a douchebag. How are these things allowed? So we allow admins and mods to insult, while on the otherhand the site instructs others to do something else entirely different? Seems rather shady if you ask me. I imagine an admin or mod should keep their dicks between their legs at just about all times, unless if they are settling a disagreement between two (or a group of) others. Truly, what a great person to keep this place in line, slings out the insults at the same rate as those who get suspended and eventually banned, but it is just glanced over. Things have to get shook up around at the top... I am certain of it. It's been too stagnant for years now, and the camaraderie at this point is vomit inducing. It's a shame Jason is not around as much, but really, can you blame him? ^ gets it

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 09:49 PM) *A* top and *THE* top are a lot different. I think everyone recognizes there's a big dropoff after Dwight. Fair enough. Misread the "a" as "the", which clearly wasn't the case. Although I think posting the numbers between the two still stands, since there are a few people that come to this thread that think Noah is better than Dwight (or at least on the same level, which is farrrr from the case).

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 09:34 PM) It's official. Joakim is back to being a top center in basketball. Noah in February: 11.6 points (.539 FG%), 11.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 blocks Howard in February: 20.1 points (.555 FG%), 15.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.4 blocks (I know that was a blatant troll post, but I couldn't help myself so the few people that actually DO believe that don't bother trying to defend it)

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 04:33 PM) I think I'm in the minority but I thought that movie was way overrated. The death sequences were pretty neat, the cinematography was good, and the main bad dude who does voices in the Simpsons was great (and needs to be in more bad-guy movies). But the movie itself was just boring as hell. I think Gosling had, in all seriousness, 10 total lines the entire movie. He just kept staring into the camera. I didn't really care for the ending either. This sums it up for me. The first 10 minutes were great, but other than that it was pretty overrated.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 29, 2012 -> 12:49 PM) oh. this should be good This thread is good for at least one two/three page derail a day. It's awful.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 12:22 PM) Derrick Rose can dance, for those who dont already know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZczejHLBaG4 I don't think that's Derrick Rose.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 03:22 PM) Somebody in that group just doesn't belong. I agree. What's Rose doing there?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 09:43 PM) Well Orlando certainly lucked out with the Dunk Contest this year eh. At least Jeremy Evans owns

whatup Kevin Love

QUOTE (juddling @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 06:48 AM) For those in here still watching The Walking Dead.....some good news as they cast the role of The Governor (coming next season) Meet The Governor I can't imagine them actually following the same Governor character as in the graphic novel, but this is certainly a move in the right direction.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) Also, yes, they need a new one because their last 5 were awesome. Fixed That should also speak to whether or not I knew they had other albums In the meantime, I guess I'll have to settle for listening to the Desert Sessions.

They need to release a second album. Same with QotSA, for that matter.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 01:25 PM) Speaking of you, Ricky Rubio has been playing like absolute s*** lately (looking at box scores). Has he looked as bad in person as his stats suggest? I wouldn't say "absolute s***," (possibly because I've seen what "absolute s***" looks like in the past with Jonny Flynn and even on his bad days, Rubio looks better than that) but he's been pressing way too much. He's also become a little loose with the ball this month, which has lead to some pretty ugly turnover totals and is something that definitely needs to get fixed going forward. He'll always average more turnovers than the average guard because he sees more openings that the average guard, but if you're consistently turning the ball over four or five times a game, it's unacceptable. As far as the lower assist numbers (7.5 in February after 9.1 in January).. well.. that's bound to happen on a team filled with godawful jump shooters. I don't really put that on him. Another major problem this season has been his shot selection. It looks to me like he's trying to draw fouls consistently on drives and will throw up an ugly, off balanced shot expecting to get a foul. He's never going to have a great shooting percentage, but he definitely needs to be more selective, especially on drives. That being said, he's a rookie. He's playing a s***load of minutes and the Wolves have really leaned on him, so it's bound to impact his play after awhile. I'm not really worried about it. I don't think he's going to be a superstar, but he has a very good career ahead of him (definitely an All-Star career, since he was built to play in those games) and will always have a huge impact on his teams.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 01:19 PM) Great post, and 100% true. Its like you either have to jump on the bandwagon or be a hater. There is middle ground there to appreciate what the kid is doing without getting all ESPNy about it. It's very easy to recognize that his story is a great one, while still understanding the hype machine has gone too far. It's called 'being reasonable,' and apparently it's ruining everything about sports these days. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 01:16 PM) It's the best thread of ever. I honestly think this year's thread is even worse than the one last year. And that's saying something.

The NBA thread always amazes me.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 22, 2012 -> 04:08 PM) It's the best show on television. Breaking Bad? Yeah, I agree.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 01:55 PM) No mention of Martell Webster's last second slam dunk when down three points? Martell Webster was arguably my least favorite Timberwolf (really it's hard to pick between Wes, Darko and Martell) BEFORE this play. Imagine how I felt after it.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 20, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) looks like deron williams was a bit tired of the jeremy lin hype....36 pts, 6 ast, 4 rebs through 3 quarters Probably the most impressive part of that is that he's only made one two pointer so far, but is 8/13 from three.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 20, 2012 -> 07:29 PM) That's on Sheridan for putting that garbage up than and even giving it legs. Most definitely. It's a trash article and shouldn't be given a second thought by anyone that actually read it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 20, 2012 -> 07:16 PM) I didn't write the article. It isn't like Sheridan is some hack. Except if you actually READ the article (and not the headlines or spinoff rumors), it's clear that the rumor was started from Marca.com, which is less reputable than Sheridan himself. The only quote in the article that Sheridan got himself is from an unnamed source that said that Rose wouldn't have a problem with the Bulls trading for Gasol. Everything else (including the absurd idea that Boozer and Watson for Gasol might be enough) was pure speculation. It's a garbage article, just like 95% of the s*** that gets put up these days around the trade deadline.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 20, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) Welcome to a message board. It's akin to me saying I'd be alright with the Timberwolves trading Darko Milicic and Wes Johnson for Dwight Howard. (to be fair, Boozer is far better than both Milicic and Johnson, but it doesn't mean that deal would be any more likely to happen)

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 20, 2012 -> 10:55 AM) That deal is completely unrealistic but if it were to happen, I'd be completely on board. Pau is a very very good player and is both an offensive and defensive upgrade over Boozer. That said, I don't think Boozer is near as bad as most people would say but Pau is far better (imo). To get him for Boozer + Watson would be a great move. I realize Watson is a very good backup pg, but I don't think we are losing a ton. If Rose isn't healthy, this team doesn't win a title, so while it is great to have that depth, the reality is, with Rose playing a lot, the Bulls can get by without Watson. However, in stretches where Rose is hurt in the regular season, we'd be at a big disadvantage. I read this as "That deal is completely unrealistic and would never happen, but if it did it'd be cool." Well, no s***.
