NBA Season 2010-11

If I was drafting a team, Love would be my pick, BUT Nash is the best at this very moment.

Love, 31 and 21 tonight. But he was trumped by Durant: 47 and 18!

[dbdynsty25]

And Nash went 27 and 15...lol. Suns still suck. Time to blow it up.

[Diablo25]

Iguodala for Love - Boom!

Durant's first 3 points of the night.

His legs look like elbows but what a touch.

Timberwolves need to learn how to close a game out. I can't tell you how many games this team has lost in the last 5 mins.

Dom and the boys say...HI! Red Wings baby!! He hasn't forgot.

Jay-zus, Dom is a monster! Dude is growing out his hair, I see. He needs to go all the way with the Oscar Gamble look.

Nice shots.

[Lancer]

You think this guy will be broke after his career ends? Sheesh.

I loved Oscar man. Used to wear my cap like him.

Dom's 5-11 166. We gotta buy groceries twice a week.

The Wolves are a fun team to follow man. Keeping Love,Beasley,Flynn and Johnson around would help the franchise grow back into a playoff contender.

If only they could convince Rubio to come play for them. They have to make a decision...might as well just trade him but they have zero leverage since he's perfectly content to stay overseas.

Isn't the talk going around that Rubio's game has slipped a bit? But it's not like Flynn is tearing it up in Minny after his injury, either.

Yeah...he's just struggling a little bit. A lot of guys have issues when they move leagues in Europe...and there are a TON of politics involved with teams out there, so I'm sure that has a little to do with it. He's still a ridiculous talent that is a huge asset to the Wolves. Too bad their GM is an idiot (drafting both Flynn and Rubio) so I'm sure he will screw it up, though some would say he already has.

[greggsand]

Remember all the Brandon Jennings reports from europe 2 years ago was "he struggling, barely playing, etc...". Then the dude enters the NBA & looks great. Weird stuff over there.

Fans of the team want Rubio now. Ridnour and Telfair have outplayed Flynn to this point. Telfair isn't getting the mins since Flynn return. I like Jonny so I'm pulling for him.

[Brando70]

But hasn't Rubio said no way to coming to the T-Wolves? I agree it's one of the most baffling draft moves ever.

Jack, I can't believe how big your son is! Seeing that picture reminded me of how long we've all been on these forums.

Massive win last night for the Knicks. Finally found a way to beat the Heat.

Gallinari was huge with two clutch threes in the fourth quarter. I'm not sure why, but it sure seems like Gallo is playing tougher defense since he returned from his knee injury, too.

And if it wasn't for some dude in L.A. named Griffin and maybe some cat in D.C. named Wall, Landry Fields would be the leading candidate for Rookie of the Year. Fields isn't just one of the best rebounding rookie guards in the league -- he's one of the best rebounding guards, period.

Fields is the second-leading rebounder on the Knicks even though he's a guard. That's probably just as much an indictment of the Knicks' lack of size and strength underneath as it is a compliment to Fields' ability, but the cat can hit the boards.

The fourth quarter showed bare all of the Heat's flaws. LeBron continued to shoot and try to go 1-on-5 nearly every time he touched the ball in the fourth despite his horrible shooting night, and DWade continued to go 1-on-1 even when his shot disappeared in the fourth. The other three Heat players on the court simply were statues or lawn furniture on the court during nearly every Heat possession in the final six minutes of the game.

The Heat were missing one of their 3 players (since they really only have three legit guys)...so bad example. Not to mention DeLance Armwade rocking the shades because he's got migraines didn't help much. They just get bogged down occasionally. Nothing to worry about from Miami's point of view. Way bigger game for the Knicks than the Heat...as you found out in the interview with Amare afterwards. He's the master of hyperbole if you haven't noticed yet.

I do agree about Fields tho...love that guy.

[greggsand]

Look at PK breakin' down some Thursday night NBA! Throw it dooown big man!

As much as people like dogging Bosh this year, his absence is def missed.

Wade was 13-for-14 in the first three quarters. I thought he might have slept in the Oakleys last night until his nightmarish fourth quarter.

Oh, yeah: Amare is the king of melodrama. But man, it plays well in New York. The tabloids inhale his every word, and Amare has center stage now that Rex Ryan has returned to making Dr. Scholl videos in the offseason.

I know, I know: It's bizarre! But I'm REALLY enjoying the NBA this year. You can thank my 10-year-old and 5-year-old sons for bringing me back to the Association for the first time in nearly 20 years.

Simmons was saying on his last podcast that this is the first time in a long time that regular season NBA games have been exciting.

I got to somewhat agree. I haven't watched much NBA since Jordan left, but this years Celtics/Heat , Celtics/Magic, Heat/Magic, and anyone the Celtics play with a winning record has been fun to watch. I've never been a Celtics fan but they remind me of old school team basketball which is refreshing to see in the Pro level.

And the big 3 in Miami are always fun to watch regardless of who they're playing.

Ditto to all of the above. This is the first time in about 15 years i've cared about the NBA, thanks to the Heatles. And look what there moved has done to the level of excitement in the NBA. Now you finally have a rivalry between the Heat and Knicks. Add Blake Griffin and his monster dunks.

The Dolphins for me have taken a backseat to the Miami Heat.

[lexbur]

Yeah, this season's been a blast.

[ScoopBrady]

Anyone see Tracy Morgan on TNT last night?

Classic. Train-wreck TV.

That's what we hear as well. Wolves need to rectify the situation with a trade.

LOL...I think Dom was 5 when I joined DSP. Time flies man.

[Jackdog]

Yeah, this season's been a blast.

Yes it has. Looking forward to the second half.
