LooseCannon Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 He looks like he is intentionally trying to elevate so his elbow hits higher than Nowitzki's gut. Maybe he didn't mean to hit quite so high, but I think the intent to make some unnecessarily hard contact was there. Then again, maybe 9/11 was really pilot error.

AlfredoE Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I know it was bad, but that is one sweet looking elbowsmash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hey cool I only missed the first 45 minutes of the game not halftime yet. 54-31 half way through the second. NO with 9 blocks to the Sixers 0. Well I missed the worst of it I suppose on the brightside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 1st half of this Bulls/Pacers game is going pretty much like a dream. Defense is on point. Offense is clicking more than usual. Boozer just threw down an NBA Jam dunkeroo. Rose has four 3s. Just dreamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelemania Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yeah, the Bulls are shit-kicking the undefeated Pacers. Bulls up 25 at the break. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 If you were let down by the Bulls start to the season - this game will make you feel better. Taj is having good ol' time in the fourth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Dejuan Blair is fair and away the biggest steal in free agency this season. Such a bargain for Dallas, on a minimum contract. Dude is playing out of his mind. Kinda crazy how having a coach that believes in you will improve your play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Low key, Blake Griffin is putting up some nice offensive numbers so far. It's early(!), but people give him a lot shit(myself included) for what he doesn't do. He's averaging 22pts and almost 11 rebs right now. His shooting percentage is up too. Now about that defense...

jaedmc Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Man I love blocked shots, and last night had some great ones, not just in Chicago(CAPTAIN KIRK BLOCK PARTY?!) but everywhere. Lebron batted one into the stands, Griffin stuffed a good one, and Anthony Davis batted down 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 And how many times does Lebron sneak up behind a guy and bat the ball down? He's a fucking block ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I have rarely seen Lebron block players straight up. I would like to know the percentage of chase down blocks in his current all time block number. Players are very aware of the chase down blocks now. It's humourous to see players looking over their shoulder for Lebron on a fast break and try to anticipate it. Kobe knew better and dunked it as soon as he felt Lebron's steps behind him in one game last year. "You ain't getting me, motherfucker". EDIT: Bill Russell would complain about him blocking it out of bounds though. Edited November 18, 2013 by _MJ_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, this season is earning him alot more money next season. Also, Rondo trade rumors popping back up today it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then throw off their own rhythm because they're worried about LeBron getting them, which causes a missed shot or turnover. Funny stuff.

Blair's defense is one thing that keeps him from ever being a guy that a team will look at as a guy they want to lock down a starting job for 2-3 years. And that's not really a Rondo trade rumor so much as it is a "Knicks are desperate idiots" rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) FOWLER!!!! What's up with your Pistons? They seem intent on ruining my hoop dreams of drafting Andrew Wiggins!!! Jordan Hill's been very good this season. He's gonna get paid next summer. @TheNoLookPass:Jordan Hill's numbers since he joined the starting line-up: 18.8 PPG, 12.0 RPG.

Jrag Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Jordan Hill and Steve Blake just flipped my fantasy score from 3-7-1 to 6-5! Talk about filling up the stat sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hell, I thought the Pistons were all in on a playoff run but I'll take Wiggins instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 That's what I thought too. A lot of bad teams this year. Feels like outside of 4 teams out east, they're all tanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I don't think the Pistons are actually tanking, I just think the triple big idea is not working at all. I really wouldn't be surprised if Monroe winds up on the trading block before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Wow, I didn't realize Omer Asik/Houston has gotten so bad that he's not even dressing for games. I didn't think he'd be the type to just bail like that until the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 He is willing to play from what I hear. It's definitely bad, though. You have Parsons (who was the main guy behind recruiting Dwight) saying stuff like "I don't know what he is so upset about" to a bunch of reporters. Well, he might be upset about leaving an actual contender because he wanted to start only to wind up in the same spot on a worse team. Dwight's buddy dropping comments to the media isn't going to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
