Big Al Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Gad, the Mavs suck right now! Third game in a row they've lost after leading to start the 4th quarter. They're losing because they're still doing the same stupid shit that has caused them to choke for the last three years: taking the jump shots and avoiding the paint like it was a quicksand trap. Honestly, they need to dump everybody who was a Mav when Nellie was still in town because they are STILL trying to play Nellie-ball. And failing miserably.

Jim Alfredson Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I was playing the Jazz Kitchen tonight so I didn't see the Pistons/Lakers game. I have to say I'm shocked the Pistons won. And the Nuggets beat the Celtics. Perhaps this trade was a good thing for both teams. I still miss Mr. Big Shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone catch the Hawks/Celtic game? Great game for November, the East have some very good teams this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well not only did the Pistons beat the Lakers and the Nuggets defeat the C's but the Sixers came back from a 26 point deficit to beat the Pacers last night in Indiana. I turned the game off in utter disgust at the end of the first quarter when the Pacers were up 38-15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceW Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well, Like I always say, maybe Joe D knows something we don't. And why not, look who he is and what he has done. Pistons beat Lakers soundly. Who'd a thought it at this point in the season?? Well that good for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't normally watch the NBA, or any basketball for that matter, but I had to see what was so special about this years Lakers team. I'm still waiting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 The Lakers played like a JV girls' team last night, and the poor play was somewhat a carryover from their Tuesday night 4th quarter against New Orleans when they nearly squandered a 21-point lead. On the flip side the Pistons shot about 65% and had errant threes and free throws banking in. Can't win 'em all, and some nights the ball bounces the other way. The key to the Lakers' success so far has been balance, from both the first and second teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Boy, Dumars seems to have killed the Pistons with that trade. Losing to the Timberwolves!?? By 20+ points? Are you kidding me? No offense, no defense. Pitiful. The season appears to be a bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yeah, I have both Rip and Tayshaun on my fantasy team and I've been watching in horror as both of their numbers have been plummeting since the trade. My Sixers won today to climb above .500 for the first time this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceW Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I am dusgusted. Did not see the game you mentioned but understand the pain. I feel it. The question is: HOW COULD JOE D HAVE DONE THIS?? I mean, Detroit is not the only team, preparing cap room for the very near future. Did Joe do this? Has he written off this season? What about the morale, man, it can get pretty low the way they are playing? Ai is NEVER going to practice the way "teams" practice. You would think he would get it through his thick head what the main reason is that his teams have never won a championship. Pistons now have three teams to go through to get to the Finals; Boston, Cleveland, and New Orleans. Crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-p...p&type=lgns Pistons punish Iverson after missing practice DETROIT (AP)—Allen Iverson apparently chose family and food over practice— and he’ll be fined for it. Iverson was the only player who didn’t show up when the Detroit Pistons worked out on Thanksgiving. Coach Michael Curry confirmed Iverson will be fined, will not start Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks and might not play in the game for missing the practice. After Detroit traded for the superstar, Iverson insisted he would do whatever Curry wanted him to and even mocked his famous rant about practice while playing for the Philadelphia 76ers.

BruceW Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well there you go... I said it five days ago and the ugly "me" has raised his ugly head already. And he will probably say I wanted to see my family. Bullshit, all that money everybody is paying owns him and makes him obligated to practice with the team. He just doesn't get it. I hope they dump him asap and that he never wins a championship, he deserves to not win. He never grew up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Man, I was all set to go on a rant about the Sixers' and then I found this inspiring story on Wayman Tisdale. Kind of puts everything in its proper perspective. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/stor...mp;lid=tab2pos2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 HOLY CRAP!!! WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT IN DETROIT???? I turned the game off about midway through the 3rd with the Sixers down by 12 or 13. I figured that they had been down the whole game and playing the 2nd night of a back to back, on the road, w/out Elton Brand... Well you do the math. Both teams were playing pretty poorly tonight. Iverson just isn't meshing w/ the rest of those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Definitely a surprise ending between Philly and Detroit. Donyell Marshall shows some signs of life!! Likely meets or exceeds his contribution to Cavalier victories against Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Sixers went and fired Mo Cheeks today. He just got a big contract extension after making it to the playoffs last Spring. Scapegoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Reggie Theus has been canned by Sacramento. No surprise there, I watched the Kings vs. Knicks game, and the Kings looked dead, uninterested, and like a team that has given up on its coach. BTW, I've been following the Knicks this year, and they're a fun team to watch, hope they make the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Celtics lose two in a row. The Laker loss was understandable, but they really looked like a tired team last night against Golden State, and how can Ray Allen only come up with only seven points? They just didn't look too interested in playing last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceW Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Iverson still proves to be a bad addition to the Pistons. Bad trade, Nuggets get floor general and Pistons is a selfish private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 What the heck is going on with the Celtics? They lose again tonight to the Knicks, and didn't look very good at that, their bench stunk. After going 29-2, their last six games are 2-4, with losses to Golden State and now the Knicks. They might not be as good as everyone thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm all about the NCAA hoops and don't care about the NBA. UNC lost to BC- I guess they're not invincible! I'm going to the NCAA First/Second Round games in Greensboro NC- possibily the best sporting event I've ever been to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to the NCAA First/Second Round games in Greensboro NC- possibily the best sporting event I've ever been to!! I'm the exact opposite, I love the NBA but could care less about college, though watching the NCAA would be very cool. I would imagine that UNC will get to go to Greensboro as a No. 1 seed.

Jim Alfredson Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 The Pistons are actually looking pretty good. Stuckey is a stud. I can see now why Dumars traded Billups. I'm afraid the next move is to trade Rip for someone who is more reliable. I hate to say it, but I don't think they need Rip anymore. Then again, AI might just be here for the season, so having Rip next year would be a good thing. But somebody needs to be the sixth man, either AI or Rip. Stuckey deserves the starting PG role.
