i feel bad with you carrying this board on your own i am sorry.

oh and cp3 has gone to the clippers

No problem Ramsey, I do quite enjoy it cos I wont get any 1 s

Has he actually? See I had that other article rant about noone from this generation of ballers being as good as the past. I was wrong Blake Griffin is ace, and IMO already better than Howard

howard will be the best c in the league for a good couple more years now. blake is more of a pf tbh. the clips are better than lakers now which makes me happy. they also signed caron butler and chauncy billups. so a starting 5 of cp3, billups, butler, griffin and deandre jordan is outstanding. but they lost gorden which is a shame. he is a great player

Dont know anything about Gordon tbh

Griffin will be better than Howard though as he has a better outside game IMO. Also with CP3 distributing to him his stats will sky rocket. Also that looks an ace team for the Clippers!

You read about the bulls and that they have barely signed any free agents

oh and brandon roy has retired because of injury's only 26 i think and was a great great player. carried that blazers team on his own.

and to answer your question the best nba finals performance for me was dwyane wade carrying the team from 2-0 down to the mavs to win the finals in 06. and because im so lazy. im just going to c+p why from a espn writer who thinks the same

It's hard to overstate how awesome Wade was in leading the Heat to their lone championship, particularly in the final four games when Miami rallied from a 2-0 deficit to stun the Mavs.

Wade started the comeback by leading the Heat back from a 13-point fourth quarter deficit in Game 3, scoring 12 points in the final 6½ minutes to send the game to OT. He also made the biggest play of the series with his crazy dribbling foray to the rim at the end of overtime in Game 5 that -- controversially -- earned a whistle from referee Bennett Salvatore and a trip to the line for the winning free throws.

For the series, Wade averaged 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.7 steals -- and this in a slow-paced series (neither team cleared the century mark in regulation in any of the six games). His basket attacks were so deadly because the Mavs couldn't stop fouling him. Wade shot a whopping 97 free throws in the six games -- the most of any player since the merger -- including 25 in Game 5.

Overall, Wade's 33.8 PER is easily the best of any Finals performer since the merger. While it seems strange to have somebody besides Michael Jordan in the top spot, the truth is Jordan never dominated a Finals to this extent. At the time, many called Wade's performance Jordanesque. It turns out they might have been selling him short.

bulls got rip hamilton but that is it. it will fill the sg position wich they do need, but they need others. it is baffling how they cant attract anyone with one of the best coaches around and current mvp.

Ramsey

Read choice three in that article and thats what I c+p'd for my OP

I read its cos they are like the bballing equivalent of Arsenal. Spend ages talking and deciding, but at the end of the day stall too long and dont put their money where their mouth is.

that is quite a good read. just a nba.com blogger on why the bulls cant sign anyone.

http://bleacherreport.com
that is a really good site for sports blogs and stuff.
http://bleacherreport.com/san-antonio-spurs
that is the spurs page. really goood reads on there, i c+p alot of my ja articles from there

Oh right sweet.

I have also decided that if I want to step up my game I have to learn how to dunk properly and not struggle to dunk nd only make it like 50% of the time. My layups can be too inconsistent under contact. You know any good workouts to dunk? I used to do plyometrics but that is boring as anything.

their is the basic, to raises, so raise your right toe, while holding 10-15kg weight in the other. or just jumping from the floor to a high platform, i do that from my floor to the bed.
i think it would be better to work on layups though. unless you are 7 foot, you will be layuping 90% of your shots inside the key. my old coach used to get one of those big excercise balls, and i would have to drive to the basket and as i am going up he would either hit me with it or not. helped so so much, and the extra point from the foul you will most likely get helps alot too.

Yeah should probably do that, my problem is when I was younger that used to be my best trait. Yet now I move too quick for my body and brain to react in time haha. However have managed to develop a reasonably accurate outside game whilst in matches almost 50%. Always been a player who relies more on distribution but with poor teammates Ive had to up my shooting game.

Also I do a lot of squating, weighted step ups and weighted vertical leaps through athletics training. Jump off one foot and not two.

What position you play again?? PF?

used to be a point guard until about a year ago when i shot up, so now am a sf. i need to improve me outside game big time. my driving and passing is what i do best. but my shooting has got alot worse in the past year. not sure why. and need to improve spped haha, im just too slow!

http://www.nba.com/live2/ watch that! heat having a proper game just against each other

Yeah you would even be a big PG by NBA standards lol. I quite like that I am the third tallest guy in my team (other two being 6ft3 and 6'7) yet play point guard. When does the game officially start btw?

not sure when it starts, soon though, very soon i think. how tall are you? 6 foot? you have a 6'7 guy that must be wicked, i have always been the tallest so have never gotten to play with a big man properly

oop, it has started

Yeah just saw, leaving the library now as well ffs. I am 6ft yeah, the 6'7 guy is pretty good tbf, gets heaps of boards. Just has no experience and isnt very technically gifted.

When I was younger I always played pf as I was the biggest guy in my team, it means that I am really good at boxing out these days. Something our team needs to learn

tell me about it. and cutting, we have big men that are scared to go in the key. its mental. its like the whole team is glued to the 3 point line

The audio on this video is annoying btw

The one noteable thing about the league I play in is the amount of turnovers though, literally get over 10 steals a game from poor shielding of the ball and sloppy passes.

btw Wades beard is horrible
