The New season
-
Shaq being night and day is so perfect hah. I do admit though its beautiful having someone down low who is gonna back up and turn on other centers. We have been missing that since we became competitive
-
Yea we got rocked. Once again the one difference between us and Boston/Orlando is the 3 pointer in crucial moments. Did you notice the ball was always to LeBron except the one pass walker dropped out of bounds to shoot the 3's? LeBron can shoot all the 3's in the final 2 minutes we need another person to step up in that roll

Mo. I can't stand the 4 other players standing around looking at LeBron. Cut, set a pick, something!

Glad to see the gameplan of 4 guys watching LeBron play basketball carried over to this season. The new guys seem to have picked the style up quickly.

I thought Shaq looked good in the halfcourt game, offense and defense. Everyone else (besides LeBron) was pretty invisible. Moon had a nice dunk, Parker had his moments.
The bench has to be much better, at the least be able to hold leads...they got torched when LeBron sat down. Once Delonte gets back I think he should run the 2nd unit...I still don't trust Gibson.
Varejao needs to get out of the paint on offense, especially when he's playing with Shaq...his post game is just embarrassing.
A win would've been huge, but I don't put too much into the loss. Still learning how to mesh with all the new guys, and missing Delonte is big. I don't think anything's changed....still a top 3 team in the east and nothing really matters until the playoffs.

On the bright side...there are plenty of great players with big contracts on struggling teams we can rob.
Rudy Gay, Memphis
Monta Ellis, Golden State
Kevin Martin, Sacramento
Al Jefferson, Minnesota
Michael Redd, Milwaukee
I can pretty much guarantee at least one of those guys will be traded for cap relief....with Redd most likely given his age, then Martin since (from what I've heard) the Kings are in terrible shape financially, then Gay because....it's Memphis. Ellis and Jefferson are wildcards, but if their teams aren't winning and the fans aren't coming to games, I could see them on the block.
Whatever happens, it's going to be a loooong regular season, and a crazy trade deadline.

This is ridiculous. We have the slowest front court in basketball right now. The best thing to happen to this team may be Shaq hurting his knee, missing 99% of the season, and coming back for the playoffs. This is absurd we should not lose to Hedo and the raptors.
For the record I despise Hedo....

For the "LeBron is pissed! He knows he can't win here!" crowd...
"Early in my career, I'd get very upset when you lose two or three games, you'd just feel like you can't turn it around. But I'm at a point in my career now where I know that you can lose two but, at the same time, you don't look too far into it. You learn from the mistakes and you just try to get better.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=291028028I'm still positive. If it was 25 or 35 games into the season and we were going through a three- or four-game losing streak, then I'd be a little bit disappointed, but I'm not at this point."

Looks like Monta is the first up in that list, and could be the easiest to grab with the Warriors a total mess.

Maybe a Z, Delonte and pick(s) package to get us a 20 ppg scorer who just turned 24 years old. He's not ideal since he's only 6'3 and can't man up on defense, but he could be a perfect fit for the offense. I think his scoring averages (16.5, 20.2 19.3 the last 3 years) are legit considering he's played next to ballhogs like Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson the last few years. Good penetrator, Iverson kind of player. Like what Larry Hughes was supposed to be.
