The official 2010-2011 NBA thread

[persianbruin]

oh i'll enjoy my soltani!! :P
BTW hatam in mission viejo is much better...
It's gonna be deja vu for faker fans, DRose is gonna beat the old Kobe and his washed up slow old rusty lamers
i didn't really have a favorite team till 94-95 season thanks to Pippen

yeah pippen was something else and so were the rest of the bulls, put Kobe in there instead of MJ and the bulls win 8 championships cuz there is noway in hell he would have got "bored" and retired prematurely.

See you in the 2012 finals cuz clearly you guys won't be there this year

lol I love you PB jan and genuinely look forward to our trash talking (which would reach epic levels if we do get a bulls lakers finals this year). I also thought we were a year or two away, but that was before seeing Rose become a man and seeing Thibodeau create the best defensive team in the NBA, one that is even better than the Celtics right now. As we all know defense + a closer wins championships and we have both right now. If we beat the Celtics then we will be through which right now is nearly a 50-50 proposition. And I tell you what if the Bulls get through this year with Rose only 22, Noah 25 and Deng 26, ASIK in his early twenty's (with NO SG either) then look out cause this team is far from reaching its potential.

Are we gonna act like Shaq didnt carry him to 3 championships?

[Masoud_A]

Isnt he the kid from the All-star night?

[Darvish11]

Asik is a beast who is by far the best defensive backup center in the league.

even when they dont have lebron we still cant beat them....
however, the personell of their team a lot with picking up harrengody, baron davis and semih erden.

I wouldn't use the word carry especially with the numbers kobe put up. They were the only true duo in NBA history that were equally valuable to their teams hence all the hoopla with phil and the trade and blah blah blah.

One thing I am sure of is without Kobe, shaq would not have even won ONE NBA championship with the lakers.

Since 1999 there have been 11 NBA finals. Either the lakers or the spurs have been to 10 out of the 11 of those NBA finals. the choking Dallas Mavs were the only other team that have been able to do it from the west since 1999. Coincidentally that was the same Dallas team that gave up 62 points to Kobe in 3 quarters so that should tell you how fked up their defense was. This is why I don't put too much stock in Shaq's 4th championship which by the way was mostly possible cuz alonzo mourning was doing all the damage in the middle and not shaq!

stats are an intereting thing when you look at them the "right" way!

As I said before Shaq could do it with Manu/Prime Rip as well.

RIPPPPPPPPPPPPPP?? lol!!
Kobe could do it with ewing if the timing was right. Kobe could do it with KG. They didnt need pierce, allen and rondo, just some role players like the ones the lakers had. Hey Kobe did it with Gasol a guy who had not even won one playoff game before he came to LA

The reason Shaq won 3 with Kobe and one (well more like half) with all of his other allstar teammates was that his head and focus was always somewhere else. Kobe made SURE he was focused like the night he called him in 2AM after they were down 3-2 to the kings in the 2002 conference finals and told him that he needed him to be at the top of his game. Thats what I call true leadership.

anyways masoud you are talking about an era that you hardly saw any games and I saw all the important ones live. Between 2000 and 2002 I lived in Iran for 7 months on and off. NBA exposure was very limited so I know what I am talking about

So could Shaq do it with Manu? And to go far in playoffs you need size and domination inside, dont tell me you would swap one of the most dominant centers of all-time with KG!

ok I am keeping my poise and I won't fall for it this time. Ok here it goes:

your responses are always (well most of the time) a case of gooz beh shagheegheh che rabti dareh but you shock me to a point that I go through that nonsense route too.

Regarding your last post: who says I would have changed shaq with KG?? Of course I woulda kept shaq but what I am saying is Kobe could have done it with KG too

Regarding the post before: when Kobe was winning with shaq, RIP was in the league but he was nowhere near as good so that doesn't prove a point. I wanna agree with you about manu but they would not have been able to win those wars against the blazers in 2000 and kings in 2002 with manu. Kobe was just too dominant on both sides of the floor and they still barely won.

Regarding the post before thatwho says I am ignoring shaq's power when I say Kobe coulda won 8 straight with the bulls? gooz beh shagheegheh che rabti dareh?? shaq's dominance back then has nothing to do with Kobe's ability to do the same witn the bulls team sans MJ. Its just a different point.

Note to self: Next time Masoud says something think about its relevance before your reply

[Darvish11]

#6 order up

[persianbruin]

DRose just Locked himself in for the MVP award. and Masoud I am gonna say the same thing nypimp said about lebron

edit, I typed the above before NYpimp's response right before this post!

#6 for #6

by the way masoud I hope you don't misunderstand what I was saying in my last post. I am not saying everything you say is wrong. I am just saying lots of times they are irrelevant. basically they are the right answers for the wrong question!
