Re: Official NBA Season Thread
Steven A. Smith was just on the Budweiser Hot Seat being grilled by the only bigger douche on TV about the Knicks. Talk about a perfect storm of crap. I'm dumber for having watched.

Re: Official NBA Season Thread
Looking at Moses right now on vintage NBA. Dang. So strong, not like Ben Wallace strong, Moses has a big ass and a belly, but pretty skinny. Always using his center of gravity to just get position for offensive rebounds. Pretty damn poor as a kid, and rebounding is about hunger. When he came into the ABA right out of Petersburg High, he could stand under the rim, jump straight up, and hit his head on the rim. What the NBA guys couldn't believe when he came in was how a guy his size could get off the floor so quickly. Long arms. Dang.

Re: Official NBA Season Thread
Moses Malone is among the most underrated HOF'ers of all time. In his prime he was easily the best rebounder in the league and it was him, not Julius Erving, who led the 1983 Sixers to one of the best seasons in NBA history (remember "fo, fo, fo?"). His "problem" is that people may remember him for the last thirty years of his NBA career, which were no great shakes and even more unremarkable than Kareem's final few years because he played for nearly every team in the NBA in a very short span. Still, incredible player in his peak and Philly got him for a steal from Houston after they fell short in 1982.

Re: Official NBA Season Thread
We got some good action tonight. Lakers @ Celtics oh boy! ESPN doubleheader - Rockets at Heat, Nets at Sonics. I enjoy watching the Rockets, Yao is a trip, but I'm of course going with the C's game. And probably watch Sonics, the novelty of the 2 rookies is still there for me.

Re: Official NBA Season Thread
What do you guys think of Simmons calling out Yao in his latest, saying although he is an offensive dynamo he has horrible defense. He claims Yao is the reason they lost last yr in the playoffs and I might have to agree as much as I love Yao. Boozer lit him up for some monstrous games, and it's evident he lacks the lateral quickness to block all the shots he should at 7'6". Sad that he is my favorite player but this glaring weakness might hinder him his whole career.

Re: Official NBA Season Thread
2.42 blocks per game this year is pretty good, that's about what shawn bradley got for his career. of course, bradley got it in less time, but it's almost exactly tim duncan level

The only one in this group that is able to even slow down anyone else in the group is Tim Duncan.
