I kinda always looked at Parsons as a young Jamario Moon with a bit more expanded offensive set...

.......


*Got in to a discussion w/ some knicks fans today on twitter - seems like they think there is a ref bias vs. Melo. You all think there is any truth to that?
 
Bynum won't play for the Sixers.

Also word to what shoeking just said about D Wade, remember that season when he was averaging 30 a game and willing the heat to w's?
**** was amazing man, his body is deteriorating though but Bron seems to have a lot of years of dominance left so it will ease the load.

Probably talking about 08-09, my favorite season from him by far. He was phenomenal that season.

It's just sad to see that he's a shell of his former self, relatively early in his career. You see Kobe making it to his 18th season and looking like he could easily play another 5 more, same for Tim Duncan, KG, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen,a few more. And then you see Wade looking like he may not be able to play past his 13th.

You can tell by the way he plays now on the rare occasion he's on the floor. He's always been a streaky shooter since his days at Marquette, and when it's going he looks great. But what always made him special as a tweener was his length and fantastic athletic ability which hid his inability to shoot well consistently. Now that it appears that that athleticism is fading, he's regulated to that struggle. We all know that struggle too, that whole trying to beat people off the dribble and them being still there, throwing up garbage around the rim and crying for fouls, turning it over, that struggle.
 
I remember finding out how young Bynum was a couple years ago and thinking that was a joke.

He's 25 going on 40.

If you want to look at the numbers, he's averaging less FT attempts as a Knick than when he was in Denver. He's also shooting more 3's as a Knick. His usage rate is roughly the same as well. It seems like he gets fouled a few times each game that doesn't get called, but most star players could make that complaint as well.

The Bobcats and Wizards game is really the epitome of two franchises going in opposite directions this season.

I thought it was kind of silly that Knicks fans were complaining about it so much. In the Mavs game he may have gotten fouled and didn't get the call, but in general, I feel like he gets fouled as much as he deserves to. KD and Kobe are artists in terms of drawing fouls. Melo just doesn't have that degree of talent to draw those fouls. Most fouls KD gets are because he forces the issue, and puts his arms into the defender.

There are nights when Melo gets like 10-15 free throws. Not sure what else there is to ask for from the refs. It's not like he's sitting in the paint all game. He takes a lot of perimeter shots. What can you say? 8o

The periodic dismantling of Chris Paul by the true best PG in the league Deron Williams is coming.

Prime example of a player who never really change/tweak their game as they get older..

MJ and Kobe did it very well.. seemed like Lebron is going on the right path as well.. spending more time on the post even though he's still very young

Ah, the Thunder and their classic, "1-4 flat iso, just stand at half court til 4 seconds then try to shoot a contested 30ft 3" play. Of course, if our scrub *** bench didn't get owned 17-4 we wouldn't even be in this predicament to beat the lowly Sixers

And again KD fails to get position for an inbound and now we're going to ot
 
Bobcats lead the Wizards 92-91 with 34 seconds left in the game. Wizards ball.
