I don't think it's fair to point him out, Korver and Igoudala chucked up much more crap than Webber. And I think Webber did his job in that game, he played great (Y)

I think AI2 missed too many shots. The Sixers had a comfortable lead, and Iggy missed like 4 FG's :evil: Well, the series are not over. Hopefully they can get the W in Detroit and comeback to Philly and... :P

Webber actually shot threes at a pretty decent clip for a power forward earlier in his career, though he seemed to lose the touch during his years with the Kings.

Talk about delivering under pressure. He was shooting at 61% and also chipped in 4 rebounds, 6 assits, 4 steals, and 2 blocked shots (!).

Sonics & Phoenix make me love the NBA again.

And Jerome James delivers _again_, 7 for 11 for 17 points and 8 boards...Sacramento is really finding out that karma is a bitch. If Jerome James had played his normal self this entire series, they would be up 3-1.

You're a sick man Andrew. I hate it when people just focus on the positives for this jackass and completely overlook what he did to New Jersey and Toronto.


Old topic, but you should know that the Raptors owner was told straight up by the Nets owner that Alonzo will not play in Toronto, for many reasons. He wasn't considered all that important to the deal for either party. Mainly, the NJ owner wanted to give up Zo instead of Collins. The real deal was VC for 2 1st round draft picks, the players were just warm bodies with expiring contracts.

I didn't catch the game, but it sounds like Memphis could have won it but made some really stupid mistakes. I can't believe Gasol is making $14 million a year and can't box out. And he collected a whopping 4 rebounds in 36 minutes.

When your best rebounder is 6'6" Dahntay Jones off the bench with 5 boards, something is wrong.

Early in the fourth quarter, Memphis closed to 96-89 on a dunk by Stromile Swift - who was called for a technical foul for hanging on the rim.

On Phoenix's next possession, Marion made a layup while being shoved by Jones, who was called for a flagrant foul. Marion made 1-of-2 free throws and Stoudemire scored, completing a five-point possession for a 102-89 lead with 9:05 to play.

A jumper by Williams made it 108-102 with 4:38 remaining. Gasol failed to box out on a missed free throw which led to another foul shot for Quentin Richardson.

Williams made a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 110-105 and again Gasol missed his assignment as Marion snuck inside for a layup that triggered a clinching 8-0 run.

Maybe the Suns boxing out rubbed off on him. But Pau isn't as athletic, he can't get away with it.

I'd like to have some of what Jerome James is having:

18.8 PPG, 10.3 RPG, 2.8 BPG on 57% shooting from the field against the Kings so far. :shock:

I don't know if you guys have heard it, but Ray Allen hasn't shut up about how he knew Jerome could do that. He seems to put his success down to the fact that Ray's locker is right next to JJ's :lol: good for him though, if he carries it on next year I'll be surprised.

lol, the Sonics will definately look to re-sign him back if he continues it. He was a 2nd round pick for one thing, and last season, his teamamtes didn't want him to pick up his contract option because they didn't like his attitude :lol:

The guy just flipped a switch mentally, i wonder if he got hit in the head or something.

Cuttino Mobley was talking trash about JJ, and he responds with saying Cuttino has had a great career and he's always been an awesome shooter and he wishes him the best.

I can't believe this is the same guy.

That is bizarre and lol@his teammates... that's hilarious, how bad would you have to feel.

I hope he can continue it, he's a huge guy and if all it takes for him is just some weird mental switch to start dominating then good luck (Y)
