honestly i feel like memphis lost that series, they had chances to win / finish games and didnt do it or couldnt put it together.....
crawford had a **** season last year and odom was well odom.
lets see what happens.

Partially true as well. Cp3 was clutch during that series. Made the difference.

Well lets see indeed if Odom can bounce back. Crawford imo had an up and down season, maybe the atmosphere in Portland was not the best and it did not help that they gave up on the season halfway. Mostly the team was in shambles after a good start.

I also think Minny would've improved greatly they got Batum, I still think they will improve minus as Love said distractions to the team. Wes Johnson will be a key piece next year. He has not been consistent and not even reliable as a 2 or 3. Lets see how Roy will look as the season progress.

Boston IMO is much better than last yr, still wished Ray would've stayed but with Lee's acquisition they will be much more improved. Lee imo is a n above average player that can play both ends. Would be exciting to see this team run more to get easy baskets esp with their rock solid D. Jeff Green would be another interesting and intriguing piece. Rondo will now have more running mates on the break.

Steve Nash's old *** took a team whose second leading scorer was Jared Dudley to a .500 record.
That's what GREAT players and GREAT Pg's do.
***** here with that "look at the Nets roster" crap.

Not to mention that the Nets have a top scoring center in the NBA (yes he was injured this past season), and Hump who cleans the glass as good as anybody on earth

I don't care how bad Deron Williams' team was.... if you can't get your team to even NEAR 25-30 wins as "the best PG in the league" (a title many have given him in the past and still some today), that's sad.

Chris Paul propelled the Clippers to a 50-win team (once again, if it were a 82-game season) with the only other piece the Clippers getting being a Caron Butler in the latter part of his career. We won't even count Chauncey Billups since he only played a little over a month before tearing his achilles.

Yeah, Deron didn't have Brook. But he gets clowned on here on the daily anyhow, so it's only convenient to use him when it fits your argument?

 

[duba169]

CP would have gotten more than 30 wins in the east

 

[teamcharisma69]

I guess we will just have to wait until next season to see if Dwill can bring it to the table once again. Look at the olympic team though, there's a reason why Rondo is not on that team.

stop with the 50 wins if it was a 82 game season BS

they won 40 games, in a 66 game season, the same way the nets won 22 ( 3 off from the 25 - 30 your saying ) and deron missed 11 games.... out of those 11 they went 2-9


and im the one defending brook, it fits my argument that they couldve went .500 with a healthy brook ( 11 more wins to finish .500 )

and humps success is based off of brook waiting in the elbow, hes isnt a #2 option, hes clean up/ fast break guy, with brook on the elbow it opens up the lane for him for put backs and so forth

He burned that bridge his own self when he was invited to try out for the 2010 team and started making static when it became clear he was going to backup Rose and he asked off the team, also citing a death in the family. He is not needed anyways. You don't ask out of this type of opportunity and get invited back.

[airjordan jb23]

Good to see Roy out on the court again.

 

[airblaster503]

BRoy going to have to take a week off after that game. Same situation as his last year with the Blazers.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Everyone looked like they didn't even wanna play

 

[k town trash]

i remember brandon being a lot faster than this. i mean i know he's hurt and all but if he's signed to play for twolves, doesn't that mean he's fully capable of playing normal again? if he drives into basket with that speed in the nba, he's gonna get murked

 

[nycknicks105]

After watching that video I really hope Roy wasn't going 100%. Because if he was, then IDK how great he'll look in an NBA game.

 

[kimchee2go]

nobody was going 100% that game.

 

[hood17]

That looks like one of those slow days at the gym where you don't care you just want to get some type of cardio in for the day.

I hope Roy can pull of a successful comeback. I like he's on the Wolves but that Phx training staff could have done something special.

Any news about Oden out there?

 

[finallyfamous]

Oden was supposed to be out until next season, but insists he will play this year.. I just want to see him healthy for ONE full season. Please dude can be a beast.

His mental state has to be shot, tho
