Unfortunately that looked like a nba special right there. I don't think anyone on our team could have gotten a foul with 1.6 seconds. JJ had more contact on his drive and he didn't initiate it.

In Miami's playoff run his game reminding me so much of Jordan. Wade is like a 6 4 jordan and better lateral quickness than barry sanders. Wade is just as good as lebron and imho better when healthy.

The only contact was lebron throwing the off arm to avoid getting blocked! Lebron got that foul on smith at end of half and another when he was to far up under the basket and they called a foul on JJ! You knew it was BS because JJ was mad as all get out!! It is how the NBA makes stars and Super Stars. Oh lebron Oh lebron he won the game when it was on the line with a fift from the refs.

I agree alot of whats going on has to do with our sets on offense. plus we keep on trying to get JJ the ball down on the block but he ends up getting the ball in the corner and then hes trapped. now joe does average more assists than bibby so he does hit the open man some. However thats also when alot of his turnovers occur. The do collaspe down as well when we try to post him up. Hes better at top of key like point forward. Also your comment about having smoove cut for the layup seems like something our coaches aren't doing.

When Al was out smith was grabbing more rebounds. Its the way our defensive and offesive schemes work guys! All the switching on defense and you see bibby in the post alot! and woodys offense alot of time the PF is at the FT line or above. Plus the ISO joe leaves people standing. All our problems revolve around coaching even JJ's cold shooting. Coaching is also mental its not just x and o just ask phil jackon

At least he got back in. The east looks like a bunch of 2 and 3 gaurds with 1 center. Wow, stern could have helped out the east by giving us another center.

Well looks like JJ gets to sit some more while Allen and Williams get to play. I swear this is the dumbest part of the NBA.

Yeah your probably right . The east should let lebron run the point the way they look right now!

For the east, they need a passing pg in right now. lets be honest devin harris isn't stockton or magic johnson. Mo williams should be in at least he could run something. East will get killed without starters.

It will really suck if he does, he hasn't been all that spectacular in his old age. JJ better not ride the pine more than anyone this game!

Yeah the second half he looked alot better. You could tell everyone wanted to go to him during the time out before the last shot. Lol it looked like drexler knew it would be him too.

Yes, thats very true and statistics can be twisted to support your argument. Acie is better than people think but unfortunately woody's system is based on the shooting pg more so than a drive and kick pg. Thats whats got me worried what we are going to do in a couple of years with no bibby and our other young guys no experience in a traditional offense.

Thats what I think is funny about this board. If we went by the advice of some posters we would have trader JJ, Smith, Marvin, Bibby, Horford. Now im ready threads about drafting a rookie pg. I guess thats fine if you want him to ride the bench. You sure don't want a rookie pg unless hes chris paul or deron and you don't see that type of pg come along very often. Even then thats going to mess up chemistry and it will take time to develop. Last night acie wasn't even the problem. He made the correct passes to open players, reset the offense when we needed to. As previous posters pointed out we gave up 127 points. The truth is Bibby helps the team not because hes magic johnson with the basketball its hes 3 point shot and ability to stretch the floor.

Woody didn't magically become a great coach. You can see the correlation with the signing of bibby and us getting better. Bibby has helped make us a better team. Woody is still same woody who coached us to all those losing seasons. Woody just doesn't develop young talent well.

Yes, been wondering the same thing. I mean i wonder has nique not just talked to the guy and said hey man, just go ahead and slam those in to make sure it goes in. I have no answer. I think hes still kinda hurt htough!

Im on! i have been saying for a while about our young guys, they are just that! Marvin would really should be a rookie this year if he stayed in college. I think as much of anything he just has to demand the ball. Woody should be coaching him up more. He has a pure stroke get him the ball when JJ is having one of his brick house building nights.

Its what kept them in the game. If horford could have played more in 2nd qaurter. Also the phantom foul calls "the big three" get so man bs calls. Especially pierce!

im watching the game on direct tv fox fsn. Doesnt look like we miss childress to much. Flip is showing signs of of brillance, his shot looks off though

Glad i was up for this game. One thing i noticed is the international game is much more physical. There are a lot moving screens and i didn't see one foul for guys battling for post position. Spain played about as great a game as you could expect them too. The USA took alot of ill advised 3 pointers but just have too many great players. Wade seems to be back at his championship level and Kobe didn't want to go home a loser. On a side note chris paul must have missed 4 layups and deron missed 2 i think and there were all from point blank range when they could have put the dagger in spains heart much earlier.

Quote: Quote: Man they are getting away with fouls and we are getting called for phantom fouls. I guess the fix is in! Some of the worse officiating I've seen in a long time! Funny thing is we are still leading in FT attempts but watching the game refs are missing alot of calls or getting them wrong agaisnt us.

Man they are getting away with fouls and we are getting called for phantom fouls. I guess the fix is in!

God what a horrible call, i guess everytime you try and block a dunk and the wuss falls over its a flagrant huh! We need to get physical like we did last two games. There aren't a tough team.

Quote: I say we start: Solo, Horford, Smoove, JJ, and Bibby... First sub: = Chillz for Solo about 7 minutes in! I say this because if Marvin is out, that means that Perkins is out too. If Perkins is out, that means that either Powe or Glenn Davis is playing C. We can do some work. Let's make them miss Scalabrine! Then BK should be asking why KG isn't suspending for pushing the refs, rules are rules!

I remember him dissing JJ for being selected, bu to me JJ has way more moves and is much better than Pierce.

Quote: Well as bad as 790 is, 680 is far, far worse at this. Actually, no they are not. I can listen to 680 because they actually take the time to show hawks some love and usually you don't have all the guys on one show hating on the hawks. I turn on 790 and all i freaking hear is chris paul, brandon roy, deron williams and hawks suck. They were even dogging us after the win. They were like yeah we won one but were going to lose the next one! I was about to call in lmao. Then i was like god just change the channel.
