Erick Dampier has 3 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block since he entered the game six minutes ago.. why did they wait to sign him again?

When Arenas and Hinrich have the best shot selection on the team you're in trouble. Nick Young, JaVale McGee and Andray Blatche have JR Smith level basketball IQ. I don't know how the hell they're only down 10.

So true. Blatche has become such a fat and lazy punk. All he cares about is scoring 20 points. He used to care about rebounding and blocking shots, now he's given up on that. It's sad because he was once a decent athlete.

This is not the Utah Jazz team that I'm used to seeing. There are only 1.5 white guys (AK47 and D.Will) on the floor right now.

I'm really impressed with Utah. They have a bunch of guys that move well without the ball and Williams is the perfect point guard for that team. Al Jefferson and Paul Milsap are absolutely ruining us on the glass without Bogut and Gooden. It's promising to even be in this game without those guys.

Some comedic relief on a slow morning.

Sorry STRIP and CCB, but I don't know whether to laugh or shake my head in disgust at how pathetic Blatche has become.

I've been wondering how the Jefferson move will work out for them over the course of a season. He can do the dirty work that Boozer never could and is a damn fine post player, but he is absolutely useless with Utah's bread and butter pick and roll.

Lol nice. He just gave up after being faked out by Rondo as KG set the screen. Hilarious. Isn't shuffling his feet, keeping his weight high, walking over to hedge on the pick, lol. The funniest part is that it's only four minutes into the game, LMAO.

I think the funniest part was Rondo still blew the lay up despite the wide open look.

It looks like it was an alley-oop to Shaq. I'd say funny was Rondo thinking Shaq isn't 500 lbs and can jump more than five inches off the ground.

Yeah, it might have been an alley oop, but it was pretty stupid of Rondo if it was. He could have dunked it or have a easy lay up with no one to contest.

If you watched the game, you'd see that Washington's entire strategy was giving up on the pick and roll.

scottyboy · 11-30-2010, 11:34 AM

forenci, you are going down tonight.

Sir, I do not appreciate the notion of going down, nor do I accept you inference that we will go down. Furthermore, NETS SUCK!

scottyboy · 11-30-2010, 11:49 AM

Isn't this pretty much representative of the entire sport of basketball?

Not really, I would say the majority of the players in the NBA could be troubled to take one step to their right to at least challenge a lay up.

MetSox17 · 11-30-2010, 01:13 PM

So how long till Spoelstra gets the axe?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slu...poelstra112910

SeanTaylorRIP · 11-30-2010, 02:25 PM

I think LeBron can definitely have negative influence on the other guys. Wade has always been supportive of Spoelstra but now that Spoelstra and LeBron have beef all of a sudden Wade is talking about how Spoelstra isn't coaching well and how Spoelstra isn't his man. It's hard to blame the coach when you hear LeBron complaining that he doesn't like playing this many minutes and he hates playing PG, that tells me that he doesn't buy into his coaches system. IMO regardless of who you are as long as your coach is still employed you have to follow his system and what he asks of you. LeBron seems to be handling the fact that he can't get everything he wants like in Cleveland very poorly. He definitely got spoiled from having Mike Brown being his little biotch that now the second his coach scolds him or tells him to do something he is majorly offended and feels like he's being disrespected. It's called having a coach. Unfortunately no matter who the coach is LeBron will always get his way because Wade, Bosh, Big Z, Arroyo, etc are his puppets. I think his teammates are more scared of angering LeBron than they are their own head coach, that's a problem. If LeBron is complaining that Spoelstra is too strict I hope that their next coach is a true stiff neck.

I forgot who said this but Pat Riley won't come back...

reason being is... why would he come back and ruin his legacy unless it was a sure thing he would win the title?

Also...

It's so funny how ESPN spins the story.

Spoelstra tells Lebron to be more serious then apparently according to the players Spoelstra won't let the players "be themselves"

That is ridiculous. It's like if you're causing a ruckus during class and your teacher tells you to sit down or be quiet then he/she gets in trouble for not "fostering learning" or promoting "self expression"

gimme a break.

They should just go back to the olden days when there use to be Player/Coaches.
