NBA 2010-2011 Season Discussion Thread

Celtics baby! This win made that ATL BAL game hurt a little less.

Is Michael Beasley for real or just in Minnesota?

Any Monta Ellis fans out there? I knew he could score but thought of him as erratic, and assumed he had a poor fg% ...but:

26.5pts shooting 51.4%, 33.3% on 3pt'ers, 4.1 rbs, 4.8 assists, 2.6 stls

Not bad, where does he rank at his position?

It's a little of both.

It is going to be painful to watch Taj go to the bench when Boozer comes back. I love watching him play.white_sox

Eh, I'm really looking forward to it. Having a guy like Taj coming off the bench is going to be awesome...especially since the Bulls aren't a very deep team right now.

Anyone seeing this potential trade between the Hornets and Raptors on ESPN? http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5828835

If this goes down with all the players listed, I can't see how in any way the trade would benefit the Hornets.

I don't get it either...but I heard that Jarrett Jack is good friends with Chris Paul so maybe this is a desperate attempt by New Orleans to keep Paul there.

They get out of luxury tax by trading Peja, get an upgrade at the backup PG spot and an extra big in David Anderson (better than playing DJ Mbenga minutes). Marcus Banks is just an expiring contract.

I think they could have made better use fo Peja's huge expring contract (for a more significant trade) , but this isn't a bad trade at all for them.

Chris Bosh might be the softest big man in the league. Zach Randolph is abusing him right now. Memphis is just scoring in the paint like it's nothing.

Heat are gonna lose another game. They had no Wade though, and Haslem went down with an injury earlier.

In Lebron's face.

Heat suck :lol:

nice!

It's too bad his talents have to be wasted on a team with possibly the worst head coach in NBA history.

Even though he threw it in, the dunk on Mozgov is one of the best "posterizations" I've ever seen! Looking at a different angle Blake has him covering up and then slaps his head around a little. Hilarious!

That game was a crazy dunkfest. Loved every minute of it.

Griffin's got a crapload of talent and he's easily become one of my favorite players to watch. I really hope he stays healthy, because he's got an insanely bright future.

Amare's reaction to Blake Griffin's posterization of Mozgov:

Awesome :lol:

The warriors are getting destroyed by the lakers :O

Gasol has'nt missed, fg or ft.

Udonis Haslem could be out until All Star Break

Ouch. Their best interior defender and rebounder is going to be joining their best shooter (Mike Miller) on the bench in street clothes for a while.

I know no one cares except a 2 or 3, but the Pacers are slayin the Cav's right now! These guys ain't bad.

Well...the Boozer-less Bulls put up a good fight but it was pretty clear that they're not really on the Lakers' level yet. The Lakers have some depth in the backcourt that the Bulls are really lacking. JML897

im so disappointed with the rockets so far. our defense sucks,most of our players sucks,yao being injured AGAIN sucks,etc... the team looks so flat at times. and when we do play hard we dont know how to close teams out. this year is starting to look like a lottery year for us. the west is too tough for us to keep losing games we should probably win. anyway despite my rant i will continue to support the team but i just want them to play smarter and tougher.

Wow, what a great win for the Bulls against the Suns tonight. They were down by 23 early on, forced OT, and then made a last-second layup to force a second OT. D-Rose is amazing (35 points, 12 rebs, 7 asts) and Joakim Noah made some HUGE steals late. I can't wait to see this team at full strength. JML897

I tuned into that game in the 4th quarter. Wow @ both Noah & Rose. The Bulls are going to be scary good when Boozer gets back.

Also in other news, the Knicks are .500 for the first time heading into Thanksgiving since 2000. :D

Pacers ahead of the Heat in the EC standings! :D
