Re: Roccet's Thread
That's a really good observation...
I just stumbled upon Simmons in maybe February, I don't really have much time to read his columns but sometimes I throw on the podcast and listen to it in the background, but he's become probably my favorite NBA guy pretty quickly.
That's a really good observation...
Re: Roccet's Thread
His columns are long as hell man... some of the longest I have ever seen... I'm sure CP officially has slapped Simmons

Re: Roccet's Thread
He did an interview of Rick Reilly on his podcast where they discussed their contrasting styles, Reilly writing good, short several hundred word articles and Simmons writing good several thousand word articles. You just gotta know what you're getting into with him...
But I used to love sports and reading and writing about them, my idea of the simple life would be to be a sportswriter.
I knew I started a thread with an article of his a while back, just checked it out... No Colins!!!

what the fuck... CP didn't show at all
I actually read that one too...excellent article... yeah..you gotta know what you are getting to and have some time... he's gonna write a good article.. but he's going to add a lot of filler that really wasn't even necessary..but that is his style..

That ain't how it works!
This is only the second time I've seen someone on this board arrogant enough to put a
/thread.
at the end of their own post. Within a week, too, I hope it's not a new trend...
But maybe in a week, when this thread is still raging with about a quattuordecillion replies, you'll figure out what that's worth.

oh of course the two teams dont compare. I was just giving an example of a phil jackson team that dropped a game 1 on their home court. That championship team started the game poorly and was able to recover just enough to get into OT. But like you said, too much AI.

which makes it clear that you did not understand the context of the question.
SVT: tobe scores 30...
C: ...minus the 15 which were a direct result of his poor play [NOT to his D assignment(s)], leaving 15...
C: ...15 minus the amount of points he gave up to his D assignment(s) = X?
it's funny how none of the supposedly "knowledgeable" fans on BGOL touched that one.
could it be because it ends up being a NEGATIVE number? or just that they don't really watch the games after all?

Re: Roccet's Thread
my question to you only required a simple yes or no answer. Again, you said "how many did the garden weasel give up on D?" (your question, which you also answered). I asked "so kobe was the only player to give up points on D? " (my question, which still has yet to be answered). I dont see whats so hard about the question? What does being "knowledgeable" have to do with this? Thanks.
Why is it that when someone disagrees with you (or engages in a mature conversation with you), you feel the need to comment on what they know and what they actually watch?

Re: ***The Official Laker's vs Roccet's Thread
I think we will see if it was just rust immediately. Typically in situations like this... a good team that takes a quick loss in game 1 at home after a long break.. they really jump on the opposing team early in game 2... will be interesting the first several minutes of game 2 tonight.

Re: Roccet's Thread
your question wasn't rhetorical?
then the answer is no.
so i have 2 non-rhetorical questions for you. is it relevant to query which player gave up the most points on D? or is the number of points given up on D irrelevant? thanks in advance.
if you think i've answered that question, then you haven't understood what you've read.
see above for the answer to your question.
being "knowledgeable" has everything to do with "this", as is evidenced by the back-and-forth. you clearly don't understand what is being discussed in this instance.
ex 1: in this thread, i have never provided any amount of points that tobe gave up on D. but you seem to think i did.
ex 2: you asked a question whose answer does not bear any relevance to the topic i was discussing with SVT.
who has disagreed with me? you? i didn't see a position stated. only a question.

Re: ***The Official Laker's vs Roccet's Thread
I think it's going to be important from a psychological perspective for the Lakers to jump out on Houston early. They need get Odom, Fisher, etc off early and then Kobe can attempt to take over late in quarter or late in half if his shot is falling...and since the other players will have been involved in the offense, he can hit them if double-teams and they wont be cold because they havent been getting shots.

Re: ***The Official Laker's vs Roccet's Thread
Shit is a good sign for the Lakers.. if they can close out this quarter and don't let the Rockets make a run to close out the lead, they will be in good shape... still too many jumpers though..they are hitting them now, but they probably won't fall like that all game..

More importantly, other players are involved and getting shots. Odom hasn't taken any shots but everyone else has multiple shots and are on the scoreboard... when the Lakers have distributed scoring, they are tough to beat...because when Kobe is not scoring...eventually he is going to start missing shots, his team will still be in the flow of the offense and will continue to score..

IT's THE DAVID STERN FACTOR that is making the "WHISTLEERES" blow all kinds of whistles against the Rockets.
You all know David Stern wants to the Lakers in the Finals.
