Nothing warrants a big free agent contract more than catching the final out in a playoff game.

is there actually a prize for this? If so can i re submit my picks since I was basically pulling random numbers out of my ass

What's Martin's projected war included framing?

It doesn't ,matter if he's an offensive minded guard, you can't just fly out at people out of control and give up a straight line drive to the basket. That play resulted in Amir getting his 3rd PF of the night

Great game. Watching James Johnson defend in person is a thing of beauty. Rotates, closes out under control, crashes to protect his net well. Complete contrast to Vasquez who just flies out on the perimeter and gives up line drives to the basket.

Yep game two for me. Hopefully at least one of Amir or Jonas plays otherwise it wont be pretty.

I agree, Im a big believer in always having 1 or two good prospects in the minors to fill in once injuries hit and just take over if they do well vs relying on some AAAA player to save the day should they fail

Rondo had more rebounds than Demar, Patrick Patterson, Terrance Ross, James Johnson and Greg Stiemsma combined

Sulligner had Bradley wide open at the end..yet he dribbles all the way out to the 3 pt line

Kyle Lowry at 12 million per year, gotta love it

Why is chuck Hayes in crunch time? This is the John Salmons scenario all over again

If they lose to a team that committed almost 30 turnovers, well thats pretty bad

He's clearly been one of our better players so far. His teammates have to recognize though his limited offensive skill set. He's been given the ball to many times so far with under 5-6 seconds left on the shot clock

Not sure if this was mentioned ever but Lisa Ann, the porn star, went off on Michael DelZotto via Twitter. It's pretty funny stuff . http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2014/11/2/7145875/lisa-ann-michael-del-zotto-omg

I can't use playoff rankings? Im trying to illustrate what they did compared to other teams in the playoffs at certain things..it's not like Brooklyn was an offensively inept team, there were 5 other teams in the playoffs with a worse OFF rating during the regular season. I supposed to fouled to much and gave up easy points, but they protected the rim well, closed out on three point shooters and closed off possessions. To say they did a poor defensive job is ridiculous. Either way im over this

Is Bebe actually decent though? Id rather they just play small and play Hansbrough at the back up C for heavy minutes. It's one thing to play Hayes on the second night of a back to back with Amir out, its another to see him in this game

The Nets did a relatively good job at taking care of the ball against a very good Miami defense as well. It was a vet team that limited turnovers and made use of their possessions. My point was use stats to back up you argument, not just one giant, be all number = They were, second is preventing dunks, 6th in layups, 3rd in shutting down the corner three, 6th in defensive rebounding. What really killed them is their fouling, they were second worse is opp FT/FG attempts, but the Nets were the worst in that regard which makes sense because of all the close games and just the tempo the series had, so yea im going to say that negatively inflated their defensive rating, along with their inability to cause turnovers ( but again im going to say thats a combination of what they do and the team their playing . Overall they were 8th in the playoffs out of 16 teams in defensive rating so even if you disagree with how I look at and approach things, im not sure how you can explicitly state they were "bad" when the only number you used puts them right in the middle of the pack

Lol okay I'm wrong because I thougjt they did a good.job.of rotating, closing out on shooters. Using a 7 game.sample of numbers to back up.your point and pound on your chest is amusing though

There were a couple.of games that Johnson lit them up and the nets put up really good numbers thst im going to assume.inflated the numbersbut overall.in the series I thought they did a good job. The nets did a good.job.of.taking care.of the ball and not beating themselves but I really dont want to argue over something trivial as this. But as for Hayes, every team has players like him on their bench. Its the 3rd game of the season on a back to back, there wasn't a reason for Jonas to.play extended minutes.and Hayes was the best option that night besides hansbrough to fill in

lol their defendingwas fine, Im not sure what games you were watching. And Hayes played 12 minutes in a game that they did not have their starting power forward and his replacement (Patterson) was horrible in every facet of the game, as he has been in all 3 games. Hayes is fine as the 5th big man on the team, who else is Casey supposed to play

They played hard during the playoffs and did a good job defending, not sure what that has to do with anything they've done this year but ok. And Hayes is their 5th big guy who's played a grand total of 11 minutes in 3 games when their starting PF was out, not sure why that actually bothers you

One of the Raptors broadcast team members made the comment that they're trying to beat teams with talent right now rather than outworking them which is 100% true. It's a team that clearly has a switch

Z-Bo's one of my favourite players. Probably one of the 3 or 4 big men left in the game you can just dump the ball down to in the post. Elite rebounder as well without every jumping more than 4 inches

Ive only caught the last 10 minutes or so but they have done pretty much everything the young bottom feeders do to lose games. -Not rebound the ball -Not defend the 3pt line -Miss free throws -Bitch about calls and not get back

Direct line drive given up by Vasquez, all Wade had to do was make a B line for the basket
