sounds pretty crazy man. Ive had a couple shiners and even with that, when you exert any physical activity, you definitely feel the pressure in your eyes. ouch.

Detached retina?.. I wish I was wrong but I'm pretty sure you won't see him until next season.. I've had the same surgery.

I am not squeamish by any means, but detached retina always sounds nasty to me. That is one of those things that always makes me cringe when thinking about it.

Suns 3rd straight 140 pt game, even with out STAT. Damn LB is a beast and shaq has been a highlight reel the past few games.

Suns fans are so easy to please. Don't fall into a false sense of security when all they have done is played the Clippers twice and the Thunder. Just wait until you come up against a team that plays defense and reality will set in. Amare is out for the season so might as well pack it up and go home.

If that's such an "easy" feat against the Clips and Thunder, why didnt your Lakers get anywhere near 140 against those teams? You guys just barely broke 100 against those teams even with the almighty Kobe and your huge front court. Suck it hater.

I think we have the highest scoring average, we're pretty consistant in what we do..

Yet I was thinking, and I havn't seen any of the games. But perhaps Porter was the one holding back Nash w/ his system?.. Has Nash been setting the pace in these games?

And Shaq can play when he wants to, problem is only he can dictate that.

Im actually quite certain from various interviews and media that Porter's system was indeed holding back Nash and most of the talent on the Suns.

In the 3 140 pt games, i think it was more of a collective pace. Everyone was sharing the ball making plays for each other and you could just see that they were having fun again. With Porter it was too much of a chore for them to try to be something they were not.

Run and gun can make for a fun team and a pretty good record, but it rarely gets you anywhere in the playoffs.

Big men and Defense win Rings...

Big men and Defense win Rings...

Exception, Jordan and the Bulls with dominant bigmen like Luc Longley and Bill Cartwright. They sure had defense though.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Phil and MJ had the Three headed center playing D though.. And Cartwright wasn't that bad, even though he talked like he had a set of balls in his mouth..

Remember Ho Grant and The Worm were Quality at PF too, W/ Pippen playing Wicked at the other forward. They had a nice team.

No doubt, they just didn't have a dominant center like you usually see. As far as Cartwright goes, man he had some great shooting form.

What about the "show time" Lakers? They ran the ball alot and only played tough D when really pressed to do so.

They still had Kareem.

They still had Kareem.

True but they still were a running team.

They had a nice Big man named Kareem.

They ran but Kareem still anchored the defense nicely..

 

[ProgMatinee]

If a team with a 3 headed dog of Magic Johnson, Kareem, and James Worthy, shows up in the current NBA.....then obviously, I'll make an exception for them...lol.

Magic is arguably in the top 3 of greatest players of all time, so any style of team with him on it would have been been able to beat most teams.
