NBA 10-11

I will have to agree with this statement whole heartedly. He was second fiddle for that first run, but that man won a lot of games for us during that run being the #1 fiddle in the crunch time. Shaq was the first option for the first 3 or 3 1/2 qtr., but the 4th was always and have been Kobe time no matter what fiddle he was playing.

I just wonder how healthy Timmy D will be come that time when games are being played every other day... That's the same problem they ran into a few years ago, and I don't even you trust that T. Parker can shoulder a whole team during a playoff push.

I agree Kobe def. had a hand in many of those wins. It was def. Batman and Robin (Sorry Heat fans) and I dont think one would survive without the other. Both stars needed the right complementary player to win a ring later on (Wade and Pau respectively).

As far as Tim goes, we can only hope he stays healthy. I dont think we're gonna need to rely as heavily as we had in the past so long as Dice/Bonner/Blair can contribute. But I have a bad feeling the Lakers bigs are gonna eat up our frontline no matter who we have.

As far as shouldering the load, at times it will be TP or Manu or Hill and we might even have a RJ sighting or two (one can only hope). Thats one nice thing about or team, we dont rely on one weapon.

I don't know if there is anything wrong with "sefish". The difference between Kobe, Jordan, etc and a guy like Melo isn't selfishness, its leadership. I don't think Melo cares if he's the best player on the court, the second best or whatever. He doesn't tell teammates to get better. He doesn't demand perfection. This doesn't make him evil or a bad player, just don't look for Melo to do anything besides do what we already know he can do. He is a great player, but offers no intangibles at all. Then again when players leave school early before they learn the difference between talent and hard work, and get paid max dollars for their skill and potential instead of for their leadership and ethic, what else do you expect?

I actually think this is pretty spot on

Duncan is fine playing every other day. The back to backs are what kills him. They don't even always play every other day in the playoffs. Many times they play the first couple games a day apart, then have a two day layoff when they switch cities. He should be fine for the playoffs if his ankle is fully healed. Plus he is playing the lowest minutes of his career for this specific reason, so he isn't gassed for the playoffs.

doesnt matter theyre not getting past the lakers anyway..

 

[jstep13]

Never know...stranger things have happened...remember Lakers were on their knees not too long ago begging for 'Melo to come...lol those were fun times...

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

more like denver was begging for that trade and the lakers wouldnt part w/ our center..

Hopefully McDyess doesn't go down for you Spurs fans. He's a very important piece to you guys puzzle. Plus without him Timmy gets little rest come playoff time.

Couldn't have said it better myself...

 

[ProgMatinee]

i think the whole Melo to LA thing was a sham to increase the offer from NY or to speed up the process. I don't think Denver wanted any part of Bynum, IMO and I don't think they wanted to send Melo to a Western team.

 

[IronLungs31]

Boy I'm a "C's" fan tonight... Need for these guy to add one more lost to that league leading record.

 

[IronLungs31]

That's 5 in row...

Now it's our turn to cut this lead to 2.5.

Lets go boys!!!

 

[jstep13]

Spurs havent blown anything (yet). All of the the remaining games are pretty much W's since the Big 3 are back except for the Lakers. Win these final games and sweep the first round and this black eye will have healed itself...

 

[Shatterer of Dreams]

Looks like this is going to be a good one

..and showed up for the investgation w/ another mans sperm in her underwerar you moron.. did you hear about this?..

You're either 12 or extremely immature, name calling? really? I never said he did, I said a woman said he did it. Was a making a cheap joke about it. Yes, but i dislike Kobe, if someone said Lebron raped a girl you would never shut up about it, oh and I'm not a moron but you're a poopy head.

This kind of game is why I love basketball.

That's why I love playing this game!

One more half and will have this 2 seed in the bag...

 

[IronLungs31]

This game is not over but it is, if anyone out there really believes in their heart that their team is going to be us 4 out of 7. Are just setting themself up for a huge heart break.

I promise you boys this 3 peat is in the bag already we are just playing the games to get to the inevitable.

I want you boys out there to quote it, do what you need to do, but you want get the chance to use it...

It's only name calling if it isnt true.
