Haha yeah that was what I was thinking about when the C's came back the other night - if you're down 15 in the 4th but you're playing at home, anything can happen

Someone pointed out to me the incredibly appropriate and great fact that Kobe will have to play at least two games in Denver for the WCF

but srsly carmelo will never reach peak kobe status - he has more paul pierce one step removed from mvp style potential - still carmelo is improving and kobe is declining so it wont be long before that statement is true indeed

Report: Woman dated Banks before Nowitzki
Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki was not the first professional athlete to have a relationship with Cristal Taylor, The Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday.
Tony Banks, a former NFL quarterback, told The News that Taylor tried to turn his life upside down in 1997.
"This is unbelievable," Banks told The News. "This is wild. I can't believe it's the same chick."

I will gladly watch Melo take a jumper over Kobe taking a jumper - there's something about Kobe's form that bugs me, something not quite right.
Melo being Paul Pierce on step removed is a very good descript - both big guys with ropey limbs who always seems to be one step quicker than the guys guarding them. xp
The Nuggets should rename the Pepsi Center to The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera

kobe along w/a lot of big scorers (you joe johnson) has fallen in love w/the fade away - to a certain extent because hes so good at hitting tough shots kobe takes too many - hes obv a v efficient player especially considering the volume hes dealing in - but i think he could prob do better

barkley didn't say melo is better than kobe

Guys guys I don't care what Charles said about Melo and Kobe. I just want to know how few pushups he was able to do.
― Alex in SF, Thursday, 14 May 2009 12:46 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah he did at halftime. better shooter anyway, same shit. stfu
he managed like 18 real pushups before he started doing fake half-assed ones
― Dr. Phil, Thursday, 14 May 2009 13:30 (fifteen years ago) link
18 is not bad for a huge fat man

Chuck's pushup form only slightly better than his golf swing
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Thursday, 14 May 2009 14:09 (fifteen years ago) link
he said lebron is #1, kobe is right behind him...and that melo is the best "pure scorer".

i totally agree w/charles barkley when he says "carmelo is better than kobe"

that's not what he said. he said caramello is better than kobe. cause like he's a fattey ya see.
― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 14 May 2009 14:37 (fifteen years ago) link
o in that case since its unprovable i wade in fearlessly and say battier is better than kobe
I almost put my fist through the monitor. I have hated Battier for the better part of a decade.
Be fair: Battier is good, but Kobe is one of the best 20 -- maybe even 15 -- players in the league.
Name 14 players better than Kobe. Go ahead. You MAY be able to name 3. Maybe.
Lakers in 6 is a good call, both for Houston, and then again for Denver.

Totally took it that way, my man. Curious - I have three players in mind that I'd consider in the "best in the league" discussion, along with Kobe - who do you think they are? I'll be honest.
As far as I am able to surmise, there are not a lot, and those that are fans are fans because they want to be able to see NBA games without paying Lakers prices. Another group might be those that are a little contrarian, a la Mets fans, and yet a third might just prefer the red, white and blue instead of purple and gold color palates.

It was the contrarian element about which I was making that analogy. I went to school in the NYC area, and am WELL aware of the Mets large and vocal fan base.

Not following the NBA much this year, but . . . LJ, D. Wade, and . . . Hmm. Hard after that. I'm bias toward the significance of big-men, but I'm not sure who I'd put into the last slot of the Top Four. Also, I'm not sure how I'd rank them. Obv., Bryant is very -- very -- good.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 14 May 2009 15:37 (fifteen years ago) link
Is Dwight Howard at that level yet? Yao Ming seems too fragile. Just not sure.

― ice cr?m, Thursday, 14 May 2009 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link
I was actually thinking LBJ, Howard, and Chris Paul. You give me them, kobe, and a power forward who can play defense, and I'm taking the championship 5 straight.
D Wade is great, but his defense is suspect to me. Yao is good, but I agree on the fragility assessment.

― Two Will Get You Three (B.L.A.M.), Thursday, 14 May 2009 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link
d wade is prob in the top 10%-15% in league as far as D - not dominant but v good - he uses his strength speed and intelligence v well - the fact that hes on the small side for his position is the only thing keeping him from being a lock down guy imo
for no good reason he came in lol 2nd this year for defensive player of the year fyi

haa all u hav to do is GET SUPERMANS MORE SHOTS
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 14 May 2009 16:00 (fifteen years ago) link
I guess the last I really watched of D Wade was the finals a few years back when he won the Championship with shaq. East Coast games are impossible for me to catch out here. Hopefully, he'll be healthy and I'll get more of a chance to see him next playoffs.
Carmello...the pride of Baltimore....
I gotta say, he has really big upside - he's smooth, can get his own shot, can shoot from anywhere, and is starting to show some talent at defense. In a few years, maybe he's at Kobe's level - he's certainly got the potential and the physical gifts to get there. I just don't think he's there yet.
From a basketball standpoint, this would be GREAT. It would also mean that the Celtics lost, which is always good in my book.
From an LA fan standpoint, I would be disappointed.

I'm just enjoying that, right now, there are at least three teams that could legitimately win the whole thing, and probably a fourth if you consider the Magic having a shooter's chance.
The C's are old and injured, and have no way of handling LeBron (does anyone?).
The Nuggets are really good, and will be even better next year - getting Chauncey is even better than the Lakers getting Gasol a few years back.
And you have to factor in the Lakers.
Its been a great three months straight of basketball this year - good conference tourneys -> Good NCAA tournament -> good NBA playoffs.
