The Perpetual NBA Thread

[niky]

The Pacers got the better deal. While Artest might bring some inside muscle to the "run n' gun" Kings (are they still that, though? with so many missing pieces?), the fact that he'll be serving so many suspensions (won't he? :lol: ) might negate his usefulness.

Peja=Reggie? Not really, but he's a good replacement anyway.

I don't think Peja is as tough as reggie, Reggie is clutch, Peja chokes. Reggie is a proven leader in the locker room (I think he's the only indy player Artest respects), Peja isn't. Still Indiana still gets the better of the deal provided they're able to resign Peja.

O'neal is currently out with an injured ankle, groin and shoulder Peja would be asked to do a lot of scoring.

Artest on the other hand... is well.... hmmm.... like playing Russian Roulet.

Sure they lost that game.In fact they were swept by the celtics.But MJ averaged a staggering 43.7 pts in that playoff series against a good defensive team on his second NBA season and after being sidelined 63 games due to a broken left foot.

Remember Kobe averaged over 35ppg against a tough defensive Spurs team (anchored by Tim Duncan and David Robinson) during the 2001 playoffs, sweeping them in the process. He also shot several clutch shots against Indiana during the 2000 finals. When it mattered this guy is clutch. He's got the rings to prove it.

for sure kobe is a clutch performer.the guy's an offensive specimen.he's killed sereval teams wth his late game heroics(hello denver).unquestionable ability.but he has shaq to thank for his rings.same way jordan had pippen.

artest for peja--saco's big gamble

but he has shaq to thank for his rings

True, but Shaq also has to thank Kobe, and both of them should thank Phil. With Shaq and Kobe, the Lakers had perhaps the most Lethal 1-2 punch in NBA history and when they worked together like they did during their championship run they where almost unbeatable (they almost swept the 2001 playoffs), couple that with a veteran laden roster and a Hall of fame coach.

Reggie is in the same league as Michael, Bird etc for clutch... You won't see them frowning when they do miss one...

Mga tigasin ang dibdib hehe.

naka-score ako ng courtside seats sa warriors game last night, 5 rows away from the mavericks bench. man, they're even taller up close.

here's some pix:


there's no way kirk is only 6'11"...he's much taller than dampier...at least 7'1" yan.


j-rich...admiring one of his highlight dunks.

tama! :evillaugh

Artest on the other hand... is well.... hmmm.... like playing Russian Roulet.

it would be interesting what happens...let's see if artest and bonzi can co-exist, sira ulo din si bonzi kung minsan.

[ILuvDetailing]

Dirk is listed as 7ft in yahoo. Well he might be closer to 7'1".

let's see if artest and bonzi can co-exist

I don't think that will be a problem, remember the Jail Blazers? With Bonzi and Rasheed Wallace
