People just want to have that perception because Blake has never retaliated for all the times Zach has thrown him to the ground, shoved him, held him, etc. (like in the .gifs Chester posted). But at the end of the day, the numbers show that all that stuff doesn't really make much of a difference in terms of the overall production between the two players.
So what they are really saying, is ZBO dominates Blake in the Playoffs because he throws him to the ground, and grabs his nuts? Clippers need an enforcer to check stuff like that. Blake gets a lot of cheap shots taken at him. All that grab A** tough guy stuff doesent translate into wins.
 
Damn I just googled it :lol guess I've always had it backwards. What NBA player was getting beat by his wife??? Doug Christie?
 
Bryant's total take home of that $24.3 million check, however, is subject to heavy taxes, which could total as much as 55 percent of his salary. That would reduce his take-home pay to closer to $11 million, according to Robert Raiola, a certified public accountant who heads up the sports and entertainment group at FMRTL in Cranford, N.J.

In his tax bracket, Bryant is subject to paying a federal tax at the top rate of 39.6 percent, which would mean $9.6 million will be withheld and given to Uncle Sam. As a California resident, he's subject to paying an additional 13.3 percent, or $3.2 million, in state taxes. California has the highest state income tax in the United States. The Medicare tax and surcharge would reduce his total take to about $10.9 million, Raiola said

:x :x :x :x

So from $24,000,000 to $10,900,000 after taxes....sheesh....

I can't stand Kenny Smith anymore. Dude swears he's some HOF'er, talks and walks like it - funny thing is, I respect and actually enjoy watching/listening to Chuck more than I do Kenny.
 
Was there ever a point last night where Mark Jackson thought of putting Iggy or Klay on CP3?
Remember how in the playoffs, Mark Jackson kept his switching up his starting lineups announcing Landry in the starting lineup but Jack would actually start the games? And this year, people were asking Jackson who was going to come off the bench this year between Klay and Barnes, but he never did exactly say who it was going to be off the bench?

This is Mark Jackson. And seeing how this is how he operates, I believe he was not going to show LAC his hand early in the year. He likes to conceal his hand. Everyone knows Iguodala is our best perimeter defender so he's not gonna show his defensive schemes with Iguodala in the 2nd game of the season. At some point, Iguodala is going to guard Paul, but it wasn't going to be in game 2 of the regular season.
 
First off, that's Amare, doesn't really count.

Second...
I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm saying from Melo's perspective, there's no way internally he thinks he can't get dudes to ride with him in NY. These top tier basketball players got bigger ego's than any person you've encountered x20, no chance in hell he'll accept the L that he can't do it in New York and move on. Zero chance, him and LeBron aren't cut from the same cloth.

You damn right they ain't cut from the same cloth, Bron is better then Carmelo will ever be at bastketball in his life. He's also improved his game far more than he has since they both entered the league. Melo can have as big of an ego as he wants, he'll never win anything of note until he either lures a superstar to NY (which I doubt given the cap situation) or teams up with another else where. Melo's style of play can't win you championships if he's far and above your best player and that's what we saw in Denver and now in NY

The beef between Bill Russell and Boston runs deep, they treated him terribly for all the greatness that he gave them.

I was actually going to come in here and say that I think Steph Curry is the most skilled guard in the NBA.


Shrugs
Dumbest thing I ever read on NT.

you must not read many of your own posts.

You just said Steph is the most skilled guard in the NBA.... Clearly you don't know basketball at all.

best "shooting" guard from 3? yes. Thats it though.

Can he finish in the paint like Westbrook? NO

Can he dribble like CP3, J-Craw or Kyrie? NO

Can he hit mids like CP3/Kobe? NO

Can he pass like Rondo, CP3, Nash, DWILL, Lowry, Vasquez etc? NO

Can he play defense like Westbrook? NO

Can he rebound like Rondo? NO

Does he even have defense? NO

Can he shoot 3's off the dribble and spotted up better than any guard? YES

Can he shoot like Kobe? NO

Is he more skilled than Rondo, Kobe, Harden, Westbrook, Tony Parker etc? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
i was wrong, clearly you just don't read at all.

my comment was regarding you posting the most "dumb content" on this board, yet saying that about other people.

and if you had bothered to read, you'd have seen that i posted "is he the best shooting PG, yes. the most skilled, no."

carry on being the clown that you are.
Clearly you said most skilled. All u do is watch highlights. You don't know the game.
