    Maybe Mazula is stupid
    I don't think that he would ended with 0 points
    5 players who actually were pretty good vs Lakers at least some of them ended with 0 points scored
    Garza ,Sheeirman, Gonzalez,Walsh Nd Harper

    will
    Will to win. And just overall coaches not wanting to give other coaches advantages with game plans. That’s gotta f*** up the betting Hugh.

    I just love seeing the Spurs lose. Part of my old school Laker fandom. I can’t stand the Spurs.

    The timberwolves look different. They look hot.

    Spurs ain’t winning this Series with Edwards going off. Now they got A win going back to Minnesota.

    Wemby is great. But could this be Dwight Howard in 2009. Sometimes it’s about the team.
    It’s wide open. Why is it crazy for us to have a shot?????


    Let’s get the championship this year. Why wait? The closer you get the more you snell it and want it. Everybody telling them they losing.

    San Antonio is not winning the championship.


    And the Knicks look like the most complete scorers in the playoffs.

    Meh...let's not trot out this equivalency jazz here madam. Vucevic had injury issues. He fractured his index finger on his shooting hand, in Boston after that trade. It should also be noted, that the C Bags went 12-1 after picking up Vucevic before his injury too. He then missed 15 of their last 20 games.

    Going from a starter avg 31 min a game, 18pts, 10 rebs, 3.5 assists, 50% from the field 37% from 3, 81% FT, in Chicago, to coming off the bench on a new team takes some kind of adjustment doesn't it? Compound that with suffering an injury after that trade, he still avg 10pts 7 rebs and 2 assists. 50% from the field 34% from 3, 80% from the FT. Yeah his numbers dropped in the playoffs 19 min 6pts 4 reb, 2 assists 39% from the field 29% from 3.

    However I say...that due to injury, my boy Vucevic, has more of an explanation for his play wouldn't you?

    Now your wonder boy Keon Ellis? Let's see...

    He wasn't hurt in Sacramento or Cleveland. He just sucked in Sacramento on a lottery team.

    18 min per game , 6pts, 1 reb, .6 assists 40% from the field 37% from 3. To his credit he improved some in Cleveland after being traded.

    25 min per game..8pts 3 rebs 2 assists 49% from the field 35% from 3. Then he fell totally off the cliff in the playoffs. 11 mins per game
    1pt 2 rebs 0.3 assists, 17% from the field and 17% from 3.

    They are NOT similar in any fashion IMO. NOPE

    Let it be known that Abeer 's disciples don't scare Slick either! :Laugh:


    Your boy playing time actually increased in Cleveland didn't it? 17 min in Sacramento to 25 in Cleveland. He's just flat out horrible in Cleveland in this postseason period. Now spin that, anyway you want my man. He's simply overrated as hell. I'd take him on a vet min, but I won't expect much from him even at that salary!!

    Damn..did Ant go to Europe for some kind of secret treatment too? That's a hell of a recovery, I hope they didn't just shoot his knee up with something, that's a hell of a risk IMO, but he looks pretty damn good, considering how bad that hyper extension looked.

    On another note...San Dog in the 80's was a beautiful thing! I was in the Navy and had a couple of honeys up in Chula Vista, but BOY..Tijuana was the place to be on the weekends!!! My GOD, I left a few brain cells in TJ, trying to get to that worm in the tequila bottle! You could get a few buddies with 5 bucks a piece in our pockets, catch that trolley to TJ, and have a blast. Stumble back across the border in the morning, flash that green ID card, and sleep all day Sunday trying to recover!, fun times back in those days.

    Suggs shot 18% from the floor in the last 4 games of that series. Ouch..Ouch. We talk about having to pull Vando, because his defense doesn't out weigh his offensive shortcomings, and to a degree Rui too. This guy makes more than them combined. That seems like an expensive gamble, on a theoretical good fit. That's saying that we view Luka/AR , as being soo bad defensively, that we need to get rid of Lebron and Rui, and bring in a 30M bricklayer, in order to try and shore that up.
