NBA Non-Suns Game Thread

I remember suggesting the Suns to go after David Lee a few years back. He is a monster http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/2772/david-lee

I remember being told that Lee would not be an upgrade over Stoudemire, that he is worse than Amare as a defender and rebounder, etc.

Kenneth Faried is such a great player, I wanted that guy...

I wanted Faried or Leonard. It's hard to believe how long it's been since the Suns picked an impact player in the 1st round.

Jeremy Lin is like a poor man's James Harden. They occupy such a similar role that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have both on the team. I wonder if they'll try and move Lin.

Lin and harden both played well against the Knicks. Especially Lin. When's he's like that, along with harden, they are going to beat teams. BUT to always expect that much from Lin is wishing for too much.

Check out Kemba Walker's stats... http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/6479/kemba-walker

Nash made the lakers look good down the stretch. A quadruple edge sword now, nash makes Howard and gasol that much more dangerous and then there's Kobe.

The Thunder got robbed again. A lot of BS fouls there, some crucial calls/no-calls near the end. Didn't like the referring in that game, they made themselves a factor in that game.

Lebron's foul in the game vs. OKC was his first in 250 minutes of play. 250 minutes! A guy who gets that much time doesn't foul ONCE in 5 games? Is that even possible?

Sure, if you don't play defense. LeBron? No. Can you say superstar treatment? I knew that you could.

Lebron is a great defender, I don't see him foul much.

 

[Chaplin]

Lebron is a great defender, I don't see him foul much.

Please. Don't be such a fanboy. There are obviously players that don't foul much, but NOT ONCE in 5 games? Good defenders foul too. Some foul on purpose as part of their defensive strategy.

Even Jordan didn't have this kind of superstar treatment.

Lebron is a great defender, I don't see him foul much.

My vote is with Chaplin and Superbone. One foul in 250 minutes of play = superstar treatment.

"I don't see him foul much" hardly counters that.

Is it a coincidence that three sets of refs in five games didn't see him foul at all? Of course not! 'Just his Royal Highness David Stern setting the guidelines.

 

[95pro]

he does foul, just like he did near the end of the 4th. lebron jumped into Ibaka and ibaka was called for the foul instead. superstar treatment.

 

[Phrazbit]

LeBron is a great defender, probably top 5 in the league... however, he absolutely gets superstar treatment. Going 250 minutes without a foul is a joke, especially for someone who plays as physical as him.

Anyone watching the DAL-OKC game? That miracle 3 that Darren Collison just hit to send the game to OT was amazing!!

I switched to the game just as Durant hit the 2 free throws just prior. That was an amazing shot. Marion always seems to get the hustle assist right before a huge game tying 3 to send the game to OT.

wade is suspended for kicking someone in the groin. about time, he always leads with that foot while making a shot. can't remember if it was against the celtics or okc in the playoffs when he kept doing that.

Reggie Miller was the originator of the kick shot. Karl Malone led with his knee to good effect, too.

I don't think any of them seemingly always went for the groin though. I think I remember Malone hitting Amare in the kids once before.
