NBA thread

I wouldnt shake their hands either. i dont care what they teach in the little leagues. If you're pissed it makes you feel even worse to shake hands. has nothing to do with being a sore loser. you all are brain washed thinking you must shake hands. a real competitor doesnt shake hands imo, you just let the winner have their moment and you go get ready for the next battle. You can save the handshaking for the last game you ever play.

 

I think Lebron makes his teamates better win or lose. He draws so much attention; How could that not help his teamates do better?

 

Eh. Maybe him only making 8 fgs in the last game didn't require as much attention so he didn't make his teammates much better then? lol

 

Jesse, what the hell is wrong with you?

 

anyone think Jameer Nelson is going to play against the lakers?

 

It's looking that way

who would the lakers rather play? jameer nelson, who hasn't shot a ball in-game for the last 4 months, for probably 20 minutes per game or anthony johnson, who sucks?

tough call. nelson definitely ripped the lakers a new one during the regular season and johnson is not capable of that, but at the same time he's going to be pretty rusty.

 

I told my friend before this news stirred up that I was glad they didn't have Nelson. But, the more I think about it...

I think he'll do more harm to the team than help. He won't be used to the game speed yet, and he's a shooter trying to rush back from a SHOULDER injury. Not smart. He could end up ruining the chemistry all together, and even if he does play- he hasn't played in a while. He'll be tired by game 2.

If he does play, he'll probably have very limited minutes. Stan Van Gundy is dumb, but probably not THAT dumb.

 

All of the Magic players think he can play, but Stan Van Gundy didn't sound anywhere near as confident as they did.

 

So far a lot of touch fouls being called on the lakers. Magic have already shot 6 free throws to the lakers 2.

Edit: make that 8 to 2 free throws. Difference in the game is currently 5. The exact same as free throws made.
