Title: mid season NBA impressions
Post by: verbalassaulta on February 13, 2003, 04:41:36 PM
i'll save us all from another boring ass soccer thread

ok the nba season is half over...what are some opinions....personally i'll still take my preseason pic of indiana(i didnt think they'd be this good) over the kings(though i wouldnt be surprised if portland is in the finals)...
mvp...kevin garnett...has nobody around him plus big all around numbers and a great defender (no way its kobe 3-9 w/out shaq)

coach...rick calisle(detroit)...detroit has nobody really and they are tied with the best record in the east

rookie....amare stodamire...this kid is for real...saw him play a couple times....putting up big numbers and helping the surprise suns....just so ya know kobe, tmac, garnett...didnt put up half the number he is putting up in there rookie season(all had no college)

im shocked at how poor my Clippers have done this season. I expected really big things but they're right back at the bottom. bring back Miles

Miles wasnt much of a difference. That was still a very good trade, its just not wrking out right now.

NO NBA PLAYER in this leauge can carry a team by himself.  So when it comes down to MVP,its  a matter who puts up the best numbers.  

For example the Magic, McGrady has a fantastic team around him, Hill, Miller, Garrity.  Miller and Hill together average 32 plus together.  
TWolves got the homeboy Wally  and Hudson. and plus at the end of games,  the Twolves go to guy is Wally, they alays give him the ball in a close game at the end, not as a shot creater, but just taking the shot.  Garnett chokes.
so basially what im saying, if the Magic didnt have Miller and Hill in games, Tmacz Magic would have a losing record, if The Twolves didnt have Hudson and Wally for some games, the T Wolves would also lose.  

so for MVP, its either between Garnett, Kobe, or Tmac.

Ah shit, I forgot Verbalassulta picked Indy to do it too. I still stand by my pick of them too! But if not them, I hope to see the kings, or mavs win it. Lakes will prolly do it again tho if they get in :(

Alvin Williams is the man.

I hope Kobe wins MVP becuase he's having his best year and playing topnotch.  Tmac really stepped it up this year but I still think the Magic are shit.  If only Shawn Kemp could lose about 85 pounds.? I was amazed at how good the dunk contest was this year.  Desmond Mason and J Rich are both sick.  I hope Indiana makes the final because I think they match up tough for the Lakers.  Michael Jordan should be "coach of the year"

lol@ Everyone forgetting who the second best team (recordwise) in the west is right now. And probably the hottest team in the league, along with the Lakers right now. Mah Spurs are comin yall, dont sleep. Big matchup Friday...Spurs @ Lakers. Should be real good i think. Lakers usually get up for tha Spurs, Kobes playin good, Tim Duncan is quietly playing as good as anyone in the league right now. Too bad ima be at FUKIN work!! lol

Most of this shit is too close to call. I mean, predicting award winners...halfway thru the year, makes no sense anywayz lol. Kobe will contend for MVP, depends on how the Lakers do the second half of the season. I still think Tim Duncan should be up for consideration. There isnt a more consistent player in the league. KG also playin well. I dunno, u can neva tell.

maybe the reason kobe, tmac, garnett didnt play much is cause they werent quite that good yet...if they could've handled all the minutes then im sure they would've got them....and the spurs have tim duncan and ummm nobody....theyre not gonna beat sac, la, dallas or portland in a 7 game series....and i am shocked about the clippers too....just think next year they probably they'll have no kandi, andre miller, brand, or odom...all of whom are free agents...and the i still dont understand how some think kobe is mvp(ok maybe cause you're laker fans)...but how is kobe mvp when he's not even mvp of his own team...shaq is....the only reason the lakers are winning now is cause shaq is getting healthier...and did i mention the lakers and kobe are 3-9 with out shaq

MVP = kobe or KG

minnesota has actually been impressive for the first time in 398473 years i might actually start going to the target center again

oh yeah tonight i'll be watching the spurs KILLING the lakes

and did i mention the lakers and kobe are 3-9 with out shaq

READ THIS man

if the Twolves have Troy Hudson and Wally injured, the T Wolves would have a bad record.
if the Magic have Grant Hill and Mike Miller got injured, the Magic would have a really bad record.
so just cuz Kobe has a losing record without SHaq, its stupid.  Cuz its who carries a team not whos able to carry a team without other players.

Clippers shoulda' kept Miles...He was the fuckin Clippers...He was a fan favorite down here in LA...He always had the crowd on their feet...He brought something Andre Miller could never in a million years bring to the team...He brought spirit...Andre Miller sucks big dick...Like I said when the trade first took place, they shoulda' kept Miles...


Anyways...

MVP = Kobe
Rookie = Stoudmire
Most Improved = Mark Madsen (LoL, just playin)
6th Man = Robert Horry
Coach = Don Nelson
