all dues must be paid in full, but the clips will just eat 3 years of griffin's career. but it was gonna be grim there for some rookie, no matter what.

rookie contract takes 5 years to play out fully - 2 years min

Nothing pleases me more than watching Billups hit crunchtime 3's

Both teams played hard
― carne asada, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 03:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Both Bryant and Anthony had awesome games both ends of the court.
I like how Jackson used Bryant/Ariza on Billups and Fisher on Jones.
OTOH Gasol is a fucking mystery sometimes.

Jackson touching on gasol not getting the ball down low

dope game, kobe vs melo was a treat. both guys were going so hard

as much as the clippers suck griffin gets to go to LA - not exactly a horrible deal - also they could conceivably be mediocre in his tenure instead of horrifically bad - a small consolation but it's something - also, what about him pulling an eli manning and going "no i refuse to play for the lousy ass clippers sorry" - do nba players have that kind of leverage? im not even sure but he should think about it

Q: has carmelo made "the leap" during this year's playoffs?
― a short guy with a lot of power (Clay), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 09:09 (fifteen years ago) link
no - he's not even their most important player
― oj da hoosman (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 09:15 (fifteen years ago) link
He's absolutely not, no! Chauncey's made a huge claim this year to being way more important than probably anybody ever imagined. I'm just sayin', melo's made a jump this spring that I never thought he'd ever make: elite scorer, decent defender, major part of a great team.
― a short guy with a lot of power (Clay), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 11:58 (fifteen years ago) link
He looks a lot fitter to me.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 12:23 (fifteen years ago) link
Although he might just be wearing a smaller uniform.
Last night was the best game I've ever seen the dude play. I was impressed.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 12:26 (fifteen years ago) link
melo had nagging injuries all year and never got healthy and on track til the last quarter of the season now he killin it - having chauncy around to formalize the offense is def a big help to him - shot selection much better
btw putting kobe on chauncey was a super smart move by phil - much better match up for the lakers than kobe/melo cause melo is so big
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 12:37 (fifteen years ago) link
It's the best matchup for Kobe, since guarding Melo for an entire game would be too wearing. I like that Phil put Kobe on Melo at the end of the half/game though. Kobe doesn't seem to have lost a step defensively to me.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 13:49 (fifteen years ago) link
kobe was def v good on D last nite - he can still crank it up - i just dont think he has the day in day out intensity he used too - but if he can do that for the whole series w/o wearing down who gives a fuck
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 13:59 (fifteen years ago) link
also, what about him pulling an eli manning and going "no i refuse to play for the lousy ass clippers sorry" - do nba players have that kind of leverage? im not even sure but he should think about it

Absolutely - see Stevie Franchise and Kobe
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:09 (fifteen years ago) link
kobe iirc correctly was going to be traded all along and the hornets drafted him for the lakers in one of those wonderfully convoluted draft day maneuvers beloved by trivia people everywhere - francis tho def - when he was drafted rookie contracts/rights werent structured the way they are now and he may have had more leverage than todays class - i dont recall the particularities
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:16 (fifteen years ago) link
The Clips aren't even that bad on paper - Baron Davis, Eric Gordon, Marcus Camby... but maybe that's cause their roster looks like it was assembled by a fantasy basketball player. Dunleavy's a terrible coach, though, and they don't really have a head-straightener outside of Davis, and lord knows there's a lot of players on that team who need it.
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:20 (fifteen years ago) link
camby & davis are wicked injury prone and getting old too
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, though I think Davis is one of those guys who suspiciously gets injured when his heart's not in it, he was playing through a lot of pain in his final year at GS. Camby is definitely glass-man no. 1 in the NBA though
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:23 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah davis was def super depressed this year - lol fuckd over by elton brand and david falk
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:29 (fifteen years ago) link
maaan tho nuggs would be sik w/camby - they could move martin over to defend kobe and rip lakers
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:33 (fifteen years ago) link
Martin didn't do so great on kobe last year
― carne asada, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, seemed like Denver did everything possible to shoot themselves in the foot before the start of the season, then they got Billups
Birdman is doing an okay job at patrolling the lane though
xp
― Can't stop the dancing chickens (dyao), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 14:43 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah but the nuggs last year were just a mess - w/the right back up martin is pretty much the ideal defender for kobels
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:02 (fifteen years ago) link
Maybe physically but I see him getting in quick foul trouble cuz he's not a smart defender
― carne asada, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
naw hes a really good smart solid defender
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:12 (fifteen years ago) link
his thug reputation stands in contrast to the fact that hes actually a pretty clever controlled player - i remember him totally dominating and getting inside lol antoine walkers head a few years back in the ecf
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:13 (fifteen years ago) link
his offensive game has def suffered from injuries and loss of explosiveness but he can still D it up
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Not so smart foul on kobe late in the game last night that really cost them
― carne asada, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:18 (fifteen years ago) link
But tbh he was defending well on the play up to that point
― carne asada, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:20 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah that foul and the inbounds lob were major brainfarts by teh nuggs down the stretch last nite - they are kicking themselves for letting that one slip away def
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:22 (fifteen years ago) link
inbounds play was inexcusable--should've just tossed to the backcourt as soon as they realized lal put odom on carter
― Is because I think a lot of the music you like is flowery? (call all destroyer), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:24 (fifteen years ago) link
billups didnt come to the ball and whoever was inbounding tossed it up like whatever - total mental collapse
― Get a life you owned motherfuckers. (ice cr?m), Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:26 (fifteen years ago) link
Feels like the lakers were the ones that stole the game when it should have been the other way around
― carne asada, Wednesday, 20 May 2009 15:27 (fifteen years ago) link
its interesting neither team has anyone to stop the others premiere scorer - kobels and melo are gonna be lighting it up all series - tho youd think that odom would be good on melo - maybe just an off game/fouls
