Which NBA Team Do You Support?
I sort of switch most years...
haha...
Always liked the Knicks though, so I'll go with them ;D
*Added a Poll*
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'.
bulls for me too roost ;D
Oklahoma city is gonna dominate soon cos of Kevin Durant
Celtics all the way...
I'm basically Boston in everything except College football and basketball.
I don't really follow any teams, prefer following players 8).
Have loved watching Nash and Gasol play for years now. Even when Gasol was at Memphis ;). Put the Suns down as They are usually entertaining to watch.
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.
I have quite a few Texan friends I met a few years ago so I go for Dallas in everything :P
As per roost I played in the era of Jordan also (Forestville & St Clair in S A), but having seen Shaq close up & looked up Jeez he is big & have photos of my lad with his Mom N Sister when he first joined the Magic n did a commercial for Mr big Candy Bar @ Pleasure Island (Disney Complex)
Still prefer the Mavericks tho
Always loved Carmelo anthony so I follow Denver nuggets
The Suns. Stevie Nash 8)
Chicago Bulls
Lakers!

QuoteThe Suns. Stevie Nash 8)
He does so much for them, pretty much carries them.
Miami and our fab 3 :)
GSW, because their high scoring and have no defence ;D
Went for Celtics, then my cousins got me a LeBron guernsey so I went for Cavs but since He left I am back to my old favourite.
Paulllllll Peirce!
Rashad Rondo is the future of the Celtics franchise... Mark my words.

Of Course he is ;). Great poiint guard to be the playmaker 8).
Isn't it Rajon Rondo?
It is :P. Does it really matter ???. We'll give somebody else there moment in the sun 8).
Yer I know it doesn't really matter. I just wanted to sound smart for once in my life. :P
What about Kevin Garnett. He's a Tank.

hey R&B i got pierce and garnett in the nba fantasy ;)
come visit me if ur interested...i'll post this in the nba fantasy part too since thats the proper thread for it
nicely done :)
Miami since the days of Hardaway Mourning Shaq Wade Brown (97)
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.
have always supported miami. love them had a few down years but this year should be sweet ;D
i hate lakers. and i like phoenix to they are entertaining and fast paced.
didnt watch the replay of the heat game last night. i couldn't bring myself to watch them lose in overtime and my tv reset itself after i saw 5 mins in the first quarter of the replay will be watching them 2moro tho v Boston. Another loss >:( this is starting to become embarrassing :-[
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.
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
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.
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! :)
http://www.nba.com/heat/ (http://www.nba.com/heat/)
54 points between James and Wade to win 109 - 100
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.

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.
i didnt say he was fantastic i said he did all right but yes i would have preferred Beasley over Bosh so that we could have spent a bit more on defensive minded players

sorry Cicjose, didn't mean to have a go at ya.
just meant it's laughable for me as a Suns supporter to have anyone consider them as a team having an inside prescence! ;)
Beasley will be a multiple all star before his career is out. All Heat fans go to the official website we are playing the Bobcats right now :)

Look at our team. Mainly players who only have 3 years or less experience. Give it a couple more years - hopefully another lottery pick at the end of this season.
Oh Yeh - Kings with a win over Washington

i hadn't realised that. Sorry Valk, but Minnesota are in the same boat as you except they also have Michael Beasley who is a superstar IMO (pick 2 in 2008). But I wish he stayed at Miami :-[

Miami couldnt afford to keep Beasley with the other 3 there on max contracts.
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."

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.
Orlando Magic!! :D

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
LeBron does play point though.... Not all the time, Wade and Bron take turns. Chalmers hardly ever plays @ the point.
Not debating about that.
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.
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.
To be completely honest i think it's going to have to be something we are going to agree to disagree on.
You think LeBron, I think Wade.
;D
Sure.
