But hey, whatever helps you sleep at night.

I said it was "nowhere to be found tonight". Don't really see the issue in that as he clearly got ******* roasted by Bargnani tonight.

If that's the case why would you point out that he's gotten better on defense this year if you were just referring to one game? Wouldn't you just say "Bosh played **** D tonight" and not "all this talk about Bosh's improved D"? It infers you're saying that he actually sucks on defense now and his improvements were not real.

Don't worry guys, he's just jealous that Chris Paul/Carmelo Anthony/other player is on the way!

Hopefully :S

The Hornets are completely falling apart. Losers of 9 out of the last 11. Okafor will be huge coming back but the team just seems to have lost their confidence and their offensive spark.

yourfavestoner · 02-17-2011, 12:08 AM

Melo plz k thnxbai.

I have serious doubts this team can win the title constructed as is unless Matt Barnes decides to be the new Robert Horry when he comes back. They are absolutely atrocious on offense this year. Atrocious.

EvilNixon · 02-17-2011, 08:32 AM

Monta Ellis is a superstar player...21 points in the second half. 11 in the decisive 4th..Warriors win yet another game against a winning team.

scottyboy · 02-17-2011, 08:47 AM

so despite Devin Harris saying multiple times he wants to stay with the nets and be a part of rebuilding, the nets feel he may not "be invested" in the franchise and are talking with the blazers where we'd send harris, outlaw and morrow for like andre miller and rudy fernandez.

i hate this team. if we do that...oh my god.

bigbluedefense · 02-17-2011, 08:53 AM

Yes. Please do that Nets. We need you to destroy your roster so Melo has no intention of signing there.

And Laker fans, the Nuggets aren't trading Melo in the West.

scottyboy · 02-17-2011, 09:12 AM

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap..._Carmelo_Talks

now it's saying the nets are out of talks.

this is going to be a LOOOOONG week. between the melo drama and my total lack of faith in the Nets FO...oy vey

M.O.T.H. · 02-17-2011, 10:04 AM

Devin Harris blows anyway...but I wouldnt trade him to the Blazers unless I was getting Patty Mills in there somewhere. Acquiring Miller would just be to clear more cap room.

If I'm trading a youthful PG, I wouldnt want to do it for cap room. I'd want some young/redeemable talent back, at least. That said, having his and Przy's expiring contracts wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

This season they are. They arent playing at the same level like they were during past two seasons. They should've been able to crush the Cavs....but they didnt.

MetSox17 · 02-17-2011, 02:00 PM

Bill Simmons' trade value chart is up. Two Kings in the top 50. Woot

P-L · 02-17-2011, 02:06 PM

Can a Lakers fan explain to me what their accomplishments over the past two seasons has to do with this season?

I just dont know how anyone can tag them as being overrated when they are playing as poorly as they are right now.

Im a huge laker fan and im pretty ****** pissed with how they are playing right now, they arent the top dawg that they usually are....

....so instead of overrated, i would go more for the side of them being underrated right now. We will really find out more about the Lakers when they come back from the all star break.

P-L · 02-17-2011, 02:08 PM

Ok, just checking.

MetSox17 · 02-17-2011, 02:16 PM

It's a weird situation to look at. People calling them overrated are using the fact that they're the two time defending champs as reason why they're overrated (cause they're playing like ass right now). But if you call them the two time defending champs and say they're the top dogs until they're bumped off, it's all of a sudden an illogical argument.

draftguru151 · 02-17-2011, 02:33 PM

They're overrated because people were penciling them in as WC champs before the season and even now when they're not playing well at all.

MetSox17 · 02-17-2011, 02:36 PM

As of right now or lately, who has penciled them in as WC champs? Cause i sure as hell haven't seen it.

draftguru151 · 02-17-2011, 02:41 PM

Meant now as in a few weeks ago before they lost to the Bobcats and Cavs. That might have just been the Laker fans on here and ESPN though.

Actually Harris has been playing pretty well and I'd hate to give him away.
but I do love me some Patty Mills...mmm

So are the Heat overrated for people tagging them as winning the east this year and 7 championships, when they havent even beat the celtics, let alone even played for a championship yet?

And we are bowing down to the greatness of the heat?

They were at the beginning of the year for sure.(by myself included)
