particular against the defensive SPURS~~
LOL~~~
it(run and gun) nevers work for sa~~!

sorry bro, check out how good the teams are in the west~
DEN seems a little far away ~~~

Like i said long before at the season opening, BOS has trade off really TOO much for KG and Ray.
and they have almost nothing behind them.
For KG, he can hardly play his way like in Timberwolves. cox he has to pick up even more inside too.
in Wolves, the center  position always has a B+ guys to work on.
and in BOS, he really needs to "help" a bit more.....

and i dunno very well in the inside stories, but since the issue for antonie walker, BOS relies TOO much on PP too.... even KG is much more valuable and efficient thean PP, PP still got the major role and lead the team. But i doubt whether his talent can really earn him a ring....

I think we had this discussion some 10 months ago....
Ray Allen is the first big question, he is never that kind of Super Star, I had a lot of doubts in his playoff performance, and I still have it.
Paul Pierce is one of the key man for Celtics for years, but he has the talent but not the mental to carry the team.  As I said, if he is good, Celtics should at least stay as a playoff contender in previous years.  Check Kobe, the Lakers were not that bad for the last 3 years
KG is definitely a true all-star, he's a monster with 7-1 but playing as SG for most of his career, but the T-Wolves were never good enough to let him gain a deep playoff experience...

These Big 3 are not that good, cannot compared many other Big 3 once appeared in the League.... say Bird+Mchale+Parish, Magic+Worthy+Jaber, MJ+Pippen+Grant, MJ+Pippen+Rodman, Shaq+Rice+Kobe.... etc

agree with you~ 3 of them really dont have deep playoff exp.
ray always found it hard to lead bucks to make the playoff.
pp always had problem with walker in important games.....(like those marginal games at season end)
kg almost havent enter round 2 at wolves too...

and bos is like a offensive team than a defensive team.
i have a coincidence to come across a data management tool, a example for the POC is about the result in NBA.
let me skip all the details and the conclusion is that, a defensive team always has a better probablilty to earn the ring.
it happened to SA, DET, LAK(with Shaq)~

Nowadays, in basketball and soccer, players have all the moves that scoring becomes easy.  Hence, defensive plays (ie able to stop the opponents to score)  become the clue to win Championships.
In the 90's NBA regular seasons is already playoff alike, scoring are just around 100, score diff b/w winner and loser is just around 10; however, some years ago, due to the low scoring avg and low TV rates, the association changed game rules, plus the change of attitude of the players, scoring avg increased to 110+, you'll see lots of games score up to 130+, scoring diff might be 15+, even 20+....
but once it comes to playoff, scoring avg will back to below 100... (that is why I am so surprise that for all those Lakers' postseason games, scoring avg for both teams are still ove 100, even 110).

You can't really compare the players nowadays to Magic & Bird.  Magic & Bird rivalry goes all the way back to their college years.

apologize of the very last line that confused you in that post.  if you checked my blog, I attached a classic matchup pic of Bird & Magic.

I didn't mean to compare any recent rivalries to theirs.  you hardly find one lately, don't you....

we have colleage rivalries of Bird & Magic, MJ and Ewing, and then reunion of Olajuwon and Drexler, Webber and Howard (Fab 5 of Michigan, but it's quite a failure match up while they were in Washington, which just turned to be too much parties and hang around rather than good basketball plays)

ai i know.... if they had kept up their performance post all star, they would have been not the 8 seed, therefor not having to go up againest the in form lakers who are already white hot, their play really got rusty after all star..... performance from camby kmart ai and melo (so the whole team) fell off...... and anthony carter is just not a good add to the team.........
and then theres the fierce rivalry in west, i think 8th seed denver was better than the east's 4 or 5 in terms of winning ratio.....
now they are talking up josh smith might go to denver, better luck next year then.....

yeh i sorta get what ur sayin, like u can see real growth from KB8 to KB24, but i can see CP3 is one of those players that you can build a francise around, i would definately cheer for him in the future.

and thanks for the analysis man, for me, the suns are at a point where they are jsut halarious, buying shaq (a very small shadow of the man he once was), moving studimire to forward was a dumb move, and i never really liked steve nash

Before Game 7,  I really think NOH could beat SAS, really donno why they were miserable at home....

If it is LAL vs NOH, that would be another high scoring series, checking who's going to outscoring who....  

I hope CP3 and NOH can keep up and continue to keep challenge the Title, not become another Mavericks or Timberwolves,  surprised you for a season or two and fell....

well, i really think CP3 is a nice piece of work~
i always said to my friends and dad that he is a "速度99" guy~
i can hardly see parker catching him up at all~LOL
he is a good PG to work like nash
and by growing experience, i think he is going to grow like nash~~
but sorry, he is not in the same team with timmy, so i'll never support him lah~~

我就支持Lakers喇

估下就好~
唔好賭啦~~
( 謎之聲 : 如果賭炸雞裨 睇你仲係唔係咁講)

咁大口氣???
Spurs 今日既手氣好差....

The Lakers are shooting pretty bad beyond the arc... but how can the Spurs let the go like this inside the paint????
馬刺既內線防守搞乜???
