yeah, not really.

What are you smoking? LOL. Any starting line up with Carter is not the best in the league.

who had the best team the second half of the year?? who was the 2 guard for the best team. now the best team didnt win. sure didnt but you like everybody else was hyped, about how we were playing, until we got to boston.

stats are cool, but certain lineups gel together at the right time. stats really dont show that. at the end of the year that lineup was very effective.

I'm still not writing off the chance that NO trades Paul. I think that this is a way for Paul to get people off his back and to be PC. He only used the word "hope." That is not definitive. It is also possible that NO's GM is saying this stuff to get teams to stop calling him left and right about acquiring Paul. It could still happen.

the leftovers from whatever you were smoking to say that. so if d howard would have had a bad series against boston would you say that about him how about if the whole season would have been bad for dwight, what would you say?

 

If the whole season except for one major 48 point game was terrible for Dwight including a month where he averaged 9 points 5 rebounds and .7 blocks, embellishing several weak *** injuries, and generally having a huge step back in his career going from looking like a perennial all star future HOFer to a Giant Albatross on this franchises shoulders with his contract/uninspired play.

 

 

Yeah, we would want Dwight gone.

 

How come you still dont see it with vince?

nothing like ignoring stats that go against your point and going back to an opinion to prove your argument.

It does not matter at all. We lost in the ECF. I blame mostly Carter. What happened to the 30 points Carter was supposed to get most nights? Watch some tapes of last year's game, and you will hear David and Matty say in 90% of the games, Oh Carter is having a bad night/ bad shooting night. Carter would have a hard time guarding the Fever or the Dream.

hahahahahahaha. Sure, the stats show they weren't the most effective, but what they don't show is that they were extremely effective.

 

 

Exactly right.

who was second on the team in scoring? you must be a fan that watches with one eye. go back and look at some of the games and you will see vince could have had 48 points on plenty of nights. look at the chicago game the san antonio game, lakers game, and many more. if you spent more time looking at the good and less time hating, then you could probably see that he was balling the second half of the year. but you are probably too much of a hater. oh i see by your name that you might be mad because mr lewis didnt get more shots. awwwww so sorry, but they still won 59 games, so no need to worry about that. be glad, that next year they will have another year together and they probably win it. its good that we dont have anybody coming in that we can pin all the expectations on. this team can do it. btw. how good do you play with an injured shoulder? messed up knees, and ankles? oh ok

Because it's never Vince's fault. When he didn't play well he wasn't getting the ball in the right places and the offense wasn't fully focused on his talents. Jameer shot too much and overshadowed VC's great performances. We give the ball to Dwight too much and forget about Vince's abilities. Stan panics.

 

Dude Vince used to dunk like really super awesome a few years ago, don't you remember?? You can't disrespect that.
