Niners Fan in CT Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have a question about Dwight though. Are we sure he's good? Sorry, I've been listening to too much BS. I really love the way Boston is playing right now. Thomas has been out of his mind. You can always count on a crazy game because either the Celts are going to blow a big lead or they're going to keep fighting and make any game close.

You can always count on a crazy game because either the Celts are going to blow a big lead or they're going to keep fighting and make any game close. He doesn't score a ton anymore, but 15 points, 12 boards, 1.5 blocks and 1 steal a night? Pretty damn good still. But I'm not sure he's good enough to change a team dramatically for the better.

Jiji Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Wouldn't he and Thomas be a great pick and roll combination? Brent Barry was ripping Houston during the GSW game about how they were continually having Dwight work the block, which isn't his strength. But Harden is better at ISO play and driving to the paint, so they're building around him (as they should). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Howard is pretty underwhelming defending the rim this year. Trailing Kanter and Hawes. Number one is on the next page. Bogut at -14 Full list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Isn't Howard somewhat of a locker room cancer too? Or have I been misreading things. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 He definitely was near the end of his time in Orlando. I don't remember hearing anything real damning about him in Houston, but I might just have missed it or forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 A lot of people were saying the 3-point contest would be better than the slam dunk contest... not this year. Helped that the majority of the dunks were being hit on the first try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym1nhCex_rQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrsN_kemFJU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 This dunk contest was insane. Aaron Gordon's Fosbury Flop over Stuff, The Magic Dragon was one of the all-time greatest. I still think my favorite contest ever was the year Blake won, but that was because of the performance art set pieces before hand. But in terms of absurd dunking, this brought it.

Ryan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Someone should dunk over a pit of manure if they ever hold an ASG in a farm heavy state again. The rubes would go gangbusters for it. Or perhaps just a few dairy cows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Even Gordon's last dunk was epic. They should have just given it to both of them. Kevin Hart is a better shooter than Dryamond Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Even Gordon's last dunk was epic. They should have just given it to both of them. Yeah! Made me wonder whether the judges see the slow motion replay. It didn't look like much in real time, but then on the replay you see he went behind his head, all the way down to between his legs, all the way back up to dunk it. Part of the problem is when someone gets a perfect score of 50 and then someone else later on does a dunk that's better than that. You can't give them an 11. Shaq looked bad giving a 9 two times when everyone else gave a 10, but I think he actually had the right idea. Can't complain when we got a show like that, though.

Isnt Shaq argument for the '9's that they were on second try dunks and thous you shouldn't get a 50 if you miss the first try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Why is everyone ignoring Draymond losing a three point shooting contest to Kevin Hart? Dude should be forced to retire. They were so sure of the outcome they only had one script for after, making it super awkward when Draymond talked about how he won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My revision would be for the second round to just have both dunkers do their two dunks then have each judge pick who they thought was better.

supremebve Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Wait, you guys wanted less of what we got last night? I think Gordon had the best single dunk, but Lavine had so many crazy dunks that looked so effortless. Going between the legs from just inside the free throw line is absolutely mind blowing. I wish that Gordon would have got a 50 on that one too, just so I could see what they would have come up with next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Awesome video of THE DUEL between Zach Levine and Aaron Gordon. It really shows the beauty and physical grace combined with their creativity. What a great thing we were able to witness on Saturday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 The Heat's massive interest in D12 makes a lot more sense. Chris Bosh may have another blood clot issue. This may be it for him if it's bad. Grrr..... no that's not going to do it.... God damn it.... one more. Okay... I think I'm okay now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
