When I played it was the Jordan era so for me it was always and still is Chicago Bulls.

We did have a social team called Isaah's Nique Skywalkers (Isaah Thomas - Detroit Pistons, Dominique Wilkins - Atlanta Hawks, Kenny Skywalker - New York Knicks).
Former Boomer Paul Rogers was part of this team and when he was drafted by the Lakers I followed them for a bit, plus watched from afar his career in Spain and Canada. Now settled in Perth he still remembers those old days and reckons I played like 'Charles Barkley'.

Cavs... Should be a tough year but its nice to see some of the young guys progressing like hickson and harris over the preseason games.  (I have deleted the lebron episode from my mind)
Really like watching the thunder too, Durant is just awesome to watch.

Originally Atlanta Hawks but Sacramento Kings for me (since 1991/2) 

Have followed them since a spritely little fella (Athony "Spudd" Webb) moved to them from Atlanta after 6 years (and the 1996 NBA Slam Dunk Title).

I am torn between North Carolina State University (Webb) and University of North Carolina (Jordan) as my college of choice.  And yes.... they are different schools.

Title: Re: Which NBA Team Do You Support?
Post by: 8-6 Suited on November 13, 2010, 02:32:38 PM
5-4 for the Heat... Or is it 4-5. Either way... Losers.


Most over-hyped team in the history of the NBA. Sure, individually and in the smaller markets where they were previously, they are great players... But as a team, its only LeBron and Wade that mesh. Bosh is no different to Beasley and his stats show it as he is averaging what Beasley did last season. Only difference, Bosh costs a hell of a lot more.

They also have a lack of height which is what killed them against the Celtics yesterday. Not only will this make them vunerable throughout the H&A season, Playoff's if they even make it they will suffer from that.

I do however like House though, rather dynamic outside shooter. Ilgaukas is useless.
Title: Re: Which NBA Team Do You Support?
Post by: Cicjose on November 13, 2010, 04:04:08 PM
Beasley is a better player than Bosh

House is quite a streak shooter. Once he gets going, hard to put an end to it!! Remember watching him land like 4 or 5 threes in a row when he was a bench player for the Celtics. Ilgauskas is more of a back up tall. He's way past his best and guess he's the best they could afford under the cap now.

Bosh is so use to being the main point of attack when he was at Toronto. I loved him there. But he moved to try and get a ring. Now he can't do as much!!!

these are the reasons Beasley left Miami
Title: Re: Which NBA Team Do You Support?
Post by: Master Q on November 14, 2010, 02:24:02 PM
Here it goes. Miami is too good. Lebron and Wade can't be in the same team, it just doesn't work, they both play the same game and they have to share the role. Bosh is better than Beasley IMO, it's just now there's Lebron who takes points from him.
Title: Re: Which NBA Team Do You Support?
Post by: CrowsFan on November 14, 2010, 05:21:35 PM
I would say James and Wade can play in the same team. Did you see that team work between them last week where Wade set up James with an alleyoop? Beautiful! :)

Miami will be fine to a point.

HOWEVER they need two things if they're going to win a championship.

1. An interior banger. Sorry Heat Fans, Chris Bosh ain't it, if they go to LA for a seven game series against the Lakers in the finals, Gasol and Bynum (if he's fit  ::)) will destroy them.

2. A lockdown point guard, as evidenced by Rajon Rondo Miami needs someone who can stop the point guard freely distributing. If they plays the Celtics in the conference finals with this team, Rondo will tear them apart.

Bosh did all right against Phoenix and i thought that Haslem was the defensive player for the job against players like Rondo

Being a Pheonix supporter, you can't say that the Suns have any interior prescence at the moment or in general.

The decent centre they have (Robin Lopez) is out with a knee strain, Hedo Turkoglu plays as a power forward but is really an outside shooter (that's where he made his name for Orlando) and their main sub for the centre position (Channing Frye) is a beanpole who shoots 3s.

Thus, you can't rate Bosh an interior banger/prescence from a game against the Phoenix Suns.

Post by: Cicjose on December 10, 2010, 08:53:38 PM
Beasley left on his own terms

He contemplated suicide and didn't have as much freedom in Miami to shoot or dribble," Beasley said. "I was pretty much told to run the offense and get out of the way. Here, I don't want to say I can shoot anytime I want, but I have a large variety of shots. The ball comes to me a lot more. A lot of people haven't showed that same type of confidence. Coach believed in me for whatever reason. I'm not going to let him down."

To be fair I thoroughly enjoy watching the Kings play. Tyreke Evans is an animal.

Tyreke is THE MAN

Until LeBron and Wade start involving the rest of the team the Heat wont win a thing. They have only beat actual contenders for the championship 4 times and lost 13 that just isn't good enough and shows that you need to play as a team not as individuals.

Also i don't understand why the Heat keep giving the ball to LeBron for game winning shots he is showerhouse in the clutch he has failed so many times they should try giving the ball to Wade in those situations.

Running bad and sample size. Done it so many times for cleveland. Still rather have it in bros then wades. Wade can't shoot.

Haha i thought about it but I like the Bucks.


not sure :/
you'll be in for years if not decades of frustration with the Bucks (support of 'Aussie' Andrew Bogut playing for them aside) - take it from me as a Phoenix supporter - i don't know if i'll ever live to see them win a NBA championship in my lifetime ...

Neither LeBron or Wade can shoot they finish at the basket that's it.

Today though is proof if they play as a TEAM they are so much better, get Bosh his shots inside (today he got got quality shots inside and it transfered out to his mid range game).

And they also gave D-Wade the ball in the last quarter and he relished in that role scoring 8 of his 20 points in the last quarter.

I'm pretty sure LeBrons only hit 4 jump shot game winners in his career the rest come from layups at the hoop.

Show your work.

Also, Bron has a fine jump shot. His 3 lacks obviously but his inside jumpers are actually good.

Bron has higher TS%, 3pt%, eFG% on more attempts too.

D-Wade is pretty much always going to be the PG. He is a better ball handler then Bron. However, give the ball to Bron>Wade when you need something too happen.

For 1 LeBron actually plays the point for the Heat not D-Wade.

If you actually go back over games for the Heat in games decided by clutch shots there actually better when neither LeBron or Wade take the shot, Eddie House is actually the most clutch. (who would of thought)

LeBron has a jump shot winner against the Warriors in 09, the hornets in 06, Game 2 against the Magic last year in the playoffs.

D-Wade has game winning jump shots against the Nets in 09, against Chicago in 09, against the Pistons in 07, against the Knicks in 04, against Utah in 04 and 07, Against Hornets in 04   
 
LeBron has taken 50 game winners and only made 17 (14 are layups) LeBron has made 14/20 clutch free throws.
D-Wade has taken 40 game winners and only made 11 (but 7 are jump shots) D-Wade has made 13/17 clutch free throws.

So this shows depending on how your going to take you game winner depends on who takes it, if your going to drive to basket you choose LeBron just hoping he doesn't get fouled. But if your going to take the jumper D-Wade is your man.

http://www.82games.com/gamewinningshots.htm is the site

ps. LeBrons jump shot for an NBA player is still average at best, if as a team you got LeBron taking jumpers your happy.

LeBron isn't a Point Guard for the Heat Hulmie, he is a Small Forward. Please learn what you are talking about then try again.

LeBron doesn't always play the point. Depends on matchups brah.

Wade is the primary ball handler @ Miami.

Also, LeBron has the triple threat. D-Wade does not.

Also, in that site, LeBron has 10% more FG. Driving, or jump shot, give the ball to LeBron, he has a better, like I said, FG%, 3pt%, TS%, eFG%. Don't see this as debatable tbh.

Also 8-6, LeBron plays every position. He plays point sometimes. D-Wade however, is the better point and plays it a lot more then LeBron.

Yeah he does but you don't jump up and say LEBRON PLAYS POINT BETTER THAN WADE! Because he doesn't.

Just because he's a Small Forward on Video games doesn't means that's just his position if you actually watch NBA games you'll see that he's the majority ball handler for the Heat and brings the ball up and basically plays the point for the heat on Offence.

Also if you go through the play by plays this year you'll see that when D-Wade has the ball in the 4th in tight games the Heat generally win, proof against the Lakers.

What that site shows though is it's basically a flop if LeBron gets a Jump Shot for a game winner.
Where as if it's Wade taking a jumpshot you have more chance of him scoring.

You also need to go have a look at clutch shots in the last 5 min of close games.
LeBron has a FG%.439 3pt%.294 FT%87
D-Wade has a FG%.345 3pt%.429 FT%73

So that stat shows again in the clutch if your plan is to drive give it to LeBron.
If your going to take jump shots give it to D-Wade.
Title: Re: Which NBA Team Do You Support?
Post by: Hulmie on March 12, 2011, 02:43:57 PM
I'll throw Bosh's stat line in there aswell

FG% .520, 3fg% .600, FT% 81%

Really they should be going threw Bosh in the clutch if you want to go on Stats.

Post by: Andrew3737 on March 12, 2011, 02:55:45 PM
lol dude.

SAMPLE SIZE!!!!!!!

Bosh more clutch then Bron and Wade ldo.....

I can pretty much just ignore whatever you have to say if you think Bosh>LBJ and Wade in the last quarter or whenever.

It all has to do with sample size. It doesn't matter if Wade has a better FG% in the last 5 minutes. Bron has a better one overall. Has a better eFG%, TS%, 3pt%, FG%, PER, OWS, WS, AST% overall. Over a much BIGGER sample size.

For this reason Bron>Wade if they need something to happen.

I was just throwing that Bosh stat in there.

But we ara talking about the Clutch and what these Stats show is that LeBron's outside game disapears in the clutch where as Wades get's better.

And stats back that up

And I will say this again.

Clutch stats are incredibly unbalanced due to the sample size. It's like taking someone who has shot 10 3's for 50% over some who has 300 3's for 40%.

http://www.82games.com/1011/CSORT11.HTM

Go to that site and it goes on your sample size it's shows that Wades 3 in the clutch it's twice as good as LeBrons in the clutch and they have had about the same amount of attempts.
Title: Re: Which NBA Team Do You Support?
Post by: Hulmie on March 12, 2011, 03:15:58 PM
Also im not talking about taking the ball completely out of James's hand because he is 1 of the best playmakers in the league but  think that the Heat should be giving more thought to giving Wade more shots in the clutch especially from the 3.
Title: Re: Which NBA Team Do You Support?
Post by: Andrew3737 on March 12, 2011, 03:24:38 PM
I don't think you are getting it.

It's not about the two players having different amount attempts. It's about the total attempts. It's clearly not enough.

For example.

You flip a coin, it's 50% Heads and 50% Tails.

You may get 10 heads before you get a tails. You may get 5 heads before you get a tails. If you do it One Million times, you will find it to be around 50%-50% for both tails and heads.

LeBron shoots, say @ 45%. 45% in, 55% out. You may get 20 outs before an in. 10 in's before an out. etc etc.

If he shoots 1 million times, it will be around 45% in and 55% out.

The "clutch" stats are partial samples of these. So they are bloated one way or another without being on the correct percentage base.

Neither Wade or Bron are 3pt shooters. Bron has a better 3pt% over his whole career, rather then just 40-50 attempts in the last 24 seconds or whatever. 50 sample size compared to a few hundred is what makes these clutch stats not even real.

Sample size is everything in statistical analysis. If the sample size isn't great enough, it just doesn't work and is completely false.

Hulmie to say Lebron plays point is a ridicolous claim.
Also i find that DWade is a rather good clutch shooter.
Id rather the ball in DWades hands than LeBrons in the clutch for mine.
Title: Re: Which NBA Team Do You Support?
Post by: Andrew3737 on March 12, 2011, 03:36:18 PM
LeBron does play point though.... Not all the time, Wade and Bron take turns. Chalmers hardly ever plays @ the point.

Not debating about that.
Title: Re: Which NBA Team Do You Support?
Post by: Hulmie on March 12, 2011, 03:42:50 PM
But a clutch shot is different to any ole shot in a game.

A shot in the 1st quarter say scores are 12-12 is a lot easier than a shot in the 4th quarter with a minute to go scores are 84-85 there's a lot more pressure. And that's what makes regular NBA players different from NBA stars they perform in the clutch.

So what these stats show is how players perform under pressure. So what these show is that LeBron is superb at getting to the basket and making shots in the clutch and Wade performs better from the outside.

And Macca im not saying LeBron just plays point but he plays it a hell of alot though.

Post by: Andrew3737 on March 12, 2011, 03:45:58 PM
Sample size is what makes the stats flawed though. Wade's career shooting isn' as good as LeBron's but in the last 24 seconds or whatever, it is. It's more of a running +EV for Wade and Bron running -EV. In the long run, LeBron is and will always be +EV in shooting, driving, assisting.
