BruceW Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 I haven't seen hardly any Piston games this year. They are no longer top TV draw out here in California. Cleveland has taken that spot. Pistons don't even seem to make Sportscenter much and that is bad. But if they stay hot, they get put back on the TV schedules. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) IMO LBJ has taken his game to the next level Nobody can throw them down like LBJ Edited January 5, 2009 by Soulstation1 Quote
Dave James Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 I'd sure like to know what goes on inside Greg Odens' head. One game he'll look like he's finally getting and the next, like he just fell off the turnip truck. Against the Lakers last night, he collects all of four rebounds in 35 minutes. How can a guy that big only have four boards? You'd think with that kind of size, 10 or so would just fall into his hands. I know rebounding is all about positioning and anticipation and that it takes awhile at this level to get your sea legs, but this is ridiculous. Oden is like manic depression...a frustrating mess. Up over and out. Quote
vajerzy Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 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!! 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. I can't afford NBA games and I agree the talent is remarkable- but I most enjoy watching upsets- especially the teams who play the power teams and beat them. I go to University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth games. They're not the ACC but good basketball. I went to Greensboro in 2005- met 2 Seton Hall fans who drove all night from Orange NJ to watch then get trounced by Wichita State- first game of the sessions- we bought them beers to drown their sorrows.....and meeting a couple of hundred Wichita State fans who drove 16 hours for their games.......and during the Duke Southern U game- watched Southern University's band whip the joint into a frenzy with their playing and high stepping, while Duke's band did the "we're not worthy" moves..... I love March Madness! Quote
Noj Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 For me, the NCAA tournament is very exciting basketball to watch--especially to see the talent that will be moving on to the NBA. March Madness always features really great finishes and upsets and lots of emotion. Great fun to watch. However, basketball is never played at a higher level than by the elite teams in the NBA. As a basketball fan, I can't help but enjoy both. Besides, if a person only watched the NCAA, that person would never see Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, or LeBron James, to name three of the greatest players in the universe who never suited up for a university. Maybe there's less romance, but I get the same rush watching the NBA playoffs as I do the tournament. Quote

I agree with you......I do enjoy the playoffs and there are guys in the NBA who I never heard of until they got to the NBA. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 IMO # 24 scores 61 pts in MSG Quote
Noj Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 61, most all-time at MSG. Kobe is second all-time in 60+ point games only to Wilt Chamberlain, who did it more than 30 times. Bryant's 20-20 from the free throw line is also in the top five all-time for most free throws without a miss. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 IMO LBJ wants the MVP 52 pt triple dub in MSG Quote
Chalupa Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 Knicks fans have got to see some amazing basketball this week. Too bad none of it was from their team Quote
paul secor Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Good win for the Lakes last night in Boston. Phil is pushing them to get the home court advantage throughout the playoffs. I don't expect Bynum back this season, and going for that might burn them out. Quote

Soulstation1 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 # 24 looked hung over yesterday Quote
Soulstation1 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 LBJ was thinking about the Browns Quote
Soulstation1 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Posted February 15, 2009 The Dream Dunk Contest LBJ vs Superman The hoop keeps rising until one can't dunk Anyone see the Big Cactus shooting / making a FT blindfolded? Will he become Coach / Baller of the sorry Suns? I got a feeling he is gonna team up with Turtle Head one day Kevin Durant is straight ballin' AI shaved the braids Quote
Soulstation1 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 OMG Anyone see that half court shot by devin harris to win the game vs philly? Quote
Chalupa Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Posted February 24, 2009 OMG Anyone see that half court shot by devin harris to win the game vs philly? Yes, that was crazy. Lucky for him the NBA doesn't call traveling any more. Quote
Noj Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 The refs must have ruled that Harris had the ball knocked free momentarily by the defender to negate the traveling. Miraculous shot. Lakers play against Durant and the artists formerly known as Sonics tonight. Durant is averaging just over 33ppg this month. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 i've seen enough the pistons will not win the NBA championship this season Quote
paul secor Posted February 24, 2009 Report Posted February 24, 2009 Wonder how many NBA cats are juicin'? It wasn't all that long ago that Dr. J and Michael were freaks of nature. These days, even the bench guys are hugely bulked up and/or are human pogo sticks. Don't even start about football. The incredible Hulk couldn't make an NFL squad. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 i've seen enough the pistons will not win the NBA championship this season Ya think? They are terrible. Dumars killed the team by trading Billups. I understand why he did it, but it was a still a bonehead move, imo. Quote
