Random NBA Thoughts (around the league stuff that don't deserve a thread)

Carl Landry cracks 5 teeth: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4755953

Portland should play Bayless more and deal Miller or Blake. Portland has the slowest in the NBA and Bayless fixes that.

aba five teeth na. kanina three lang!

[isagani_c]

why did kevin pritchard signed andre miller? did he even consulted mcmillan or brandon roy if miller would fit the team?

offering turkoglu a contract was a good move. signing millsap to an offer sheet was questionable. 8M/year for a bench player with already a formidable duo of oden/aldridge plus a quality sub in przybilla. but right now, if millsap was signed, it would have become a great deal replacing oden in the lineup.

Dirk literally put that nutsack elbow right in Landry's mouth. And that was five teeth. Five! Ouch. Never knew Dirk had the MMA potential.

Anyone here beside me who thinks Atlanta is "legit" and can make the East a 4-way battle?

The big three should be wary of the high-flying Hawks. Atlanta could be this year's Orlando or Denver.

J-Smoove has vastly improved and Woodson has turned Jamal Crawford's offensive nature to the strengths of the team. What they need to improve though is their audience impact.

the hawks can match-up with boston and cleveland but they always have an hard time with orlando especially with dwight howard

i don't think so. the celtics are too experienced, the magic are too deep and lebron is too good.

[Gospel of Judas]

the hawks can give problems to the three teams in the east but if these teams play it the right way, i don't see any one of them losing to atlanta.

Agree. That's what happens when a player with monster athletic skills uses his head to play smarter. Makes himself and his team good. Scary isn't it?

And sure, Jamal Crawford adds another needed fire power. He is someone who could definitely score.

Thought #2:

I think Kevin Durant should join the slam-dunk contest. I'm sure he has some nasty tricks under his sleeve.

rockets are pretty good.. one team i wouldnt want to face come playoff time ..

[The Kryptonian]

^^ Yeah, yeah, yeah. They are the dark horse right now. Step aside Portland.

Speaking of Portland, their chemistry was ruined since Andre Miller came in to the team. I think they were on the wrong the side of that trade right from the start.

[demented_guy]

^^

Portland didn't trade anyone right? I though Andre Miller was signed as a free agent. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, Tyreke Evans is darn good. His composure during the late stretches of a game has been phenomenal. His steal on Arenas to prevent a game-winning shot and his go-ahead layup against the Bucks that gave the Kings the win were plays normally delivered by a heady and seasoned veteran. And he's doing it during the first twenty-plus games of his career. Dwyane Wade-esque indeed.

He signed Miller because there was nobody else he could sign. Turkoglu bailed, Millsap was just fake-signed to make Utah go over the cap, leaving Miller as the only viable option left.

Andre's an upgrade at point, but everyone knew that he'd be weak starting alongside Roy. Roy needs the ball in his hands, and Blake was the perfect complimentary player because he can hit the outside shot. Perhaps KP thought that if things didn't work out, at least he'd have another trade chip in his hands. I'm not disappointed with the signing, but I'd be disappointed if we don't move Miller by February.

I thought Oden's emergence brought in more chemistry issues than the Miller signing. There was a conscious effort to dump the ball inside to Oden, which took away possessions from Roy. Roy also didn't have the space for his incursions in the paint because the big fella was there. LMA meanwhile took his game even further away from the basket with his lame 18-footers.

It was obvious that Nate ill-prepared this team for Oden. The bigger problem is Oden's out yet again for an extended period. I was hoping they'd get a whole season out of him to ease everybody to their comfort zones. Next year, magkakapaan na naman sila.

tyreke = roy?

Oklahoma City is .500 on the road and yet they're 9th. Gotta win those home games, okc.
