Thugs_R_Us:

LeBron does have serviceable options on offense. That is a myth. Its just that LeBron himself can singlehandedly, as he wins games, can lose games as well, esp. if his greatest weapon is taken away from him. The Cavs are a good offensive, but are even a greater defensive bunch. Their offense is not as bad as people are making out to be. Their guys are shooting good percentages.[b] Its just being masked b/c their defense is more of the backbone to the team.[/b]

lai-lai:

. . .i caught u red-handed contradicting yourself and you still managed to pull this
wdf is this explanation. . . . yeah its masked so we can't see them knocking down shots because of their defensive skills,if there is no offence, there is no offence, period
see wadeftw/thugsru, if u can weave that despite being contradictory, i see this argument has no point , . . . .so peace and good luck to your defensive basketball
i wonder if every team focused on defence like u want, who will be watchin basketball, every sport has to have variety, dude

The long posts tire me to read sef

una remember the '01 Sixers sha.

shuwo

I can only remember Mutombo, Iverson, Mckie and Snow. Can't remember the other members in their rotation.
And they beat a pretty good Bucks team of Allen, Cassell and Big Dog. An offensive beast at the time.

Wade WTF. . . . that sixers team were no offensive slouches.

I am not too sure but i bet they averaged close to 100 pts a game that season
to go with their staunch defense.

WadeFTW:

Oh no. [b]Your posts is too easy for the taking

I've argued against people much more knowledgable about the game.

I will get back to it after studying. Finals week.[/b]

JeSoul:

wow A-40 you brought out a whip on Wade    that's the harshest I've seen you write, but Wade sure deserved it, cheating on his wife n all . . .   
hehe na you start am now     _{turning red in the face} Doyin me I just be like the girl next door oh!    
and for all the kind fellas who queried, here's my youtube channel

JeSoul:

Hmmm. . .

Phoenix trades Diaw and Raja Bell to the Bobcats for Jason Richardson.
Who is getting the better deal? Phoenix just traded away 2 of their top defensive players . . . does that make sense in the west where defense comes hard? They get some firepower with J.Richardson but in addressing one problem, they've created another.

The bobcats -good or bad deal for them? they're not making the playoffs anyways.

millco88:

But I never thought adding more offense was what Phoenix needed; they have to become better defensively and trading away your best perimeter defender isn't the way to do that, IMO. Richardson's the best player in the deal, but I don't think he makes Phoenix any better.

Now maybe if he had a reputation as a stone cold killer in the playoffs, you could see how Phoenix might try to outscore teams. But given the ages of Nash, Shaq and Hill, Amare's inability to defend the 5 effectively and how differently they play depending on their big guy lineup, I don't see how it really helps them that much.

A-40:

All in all i think looking at it in the long term Charlotte just might be getting a better deal because their roster gets a little deeper

Carmelo dropped 33 in one quarter albeit against the T/Wolves

JeSoul:

Yeah perhaps long term. I think Brown is up to something . . .

Mehn its hard for Melo to impress me. 33 in 1q is impressive sha. Denver is definitely better with Billups, #2 in the west right now i believe. But I don't think they'll stay in the top 4 by the end of the yr.

JeSoul:

Bingo. I think that's what they're going for. The west is all about putting it up and I guess they're just trying to keep up? Like Lai said earlier, you need a balance of good offense and defense, the Suns just reduced in the latter category, and gained (yet to be proven) in the former. I guess we'll see as the season turns . . .

A-40:

Dirk dropped 46 last night  _{against the Thunder}

Now the Western Conference is just pure drama the Spurs have flown from 8th some days back to 3rd,Houston,Utah and Portland seem to be runing out of gas especially Portland now is the time for them Mavs to climb up those standings we have played less games than these guys ahead so lets take advantage

The Cavs finally lost their winning streak now who would stop the Celts? as those guys are getting scarier by the game
