RANDOM THOUGHTS ON NBA PLAYOFFS

  1. Kendrick Perkins is one of the most overrated and overvalued players in the history of the game. His career playoff and regular season averages are 6 pts and 6 reb a game. The Celtics, The Thunder and countless buffoons around the league tell me that Perkins is the best low post defender in the game. Then what the hell is Dwight Howard? If by the best low post defender you mean mugging mutherfuckers and intimidating European players then next to Kenyon Martin he is the best. All of you sum bitches owe guys like Mutombo, Mourning and Ben Wallace an apology for ever putting Perkins and best defender in the same sentence.
  2. Establish the criteria for the MVP AWARD please. What good is giving a guy the MVP award when clearly  he is not the best player in the league let alone his conference.Derrick Rose had a good season, but would you take him over Howard, James,Wade,Durant,Paul, or even Dirk. Hell no!!!! Here is a thought wait until after the season to give the award out and then there will be no argument as to who truly earned the award. If you gave it to Dirk, Wade or James no one would argue about it. Just a thought.
  3. Change the current playoff format and reward the higher seeds with more home games and you will  have  more competitive games in the regular season. The reward for the Spurs finishing as #1 seed and Memphis finishing as the #8 seed was one more home game for the Spurs.. Remember Memphis threw games at the end to get the matchup with the Spurs. Would they have done this if it meant only having 2 home games in a 7 game series. Just a thought
  4. Pippen criticized Boozer for his play in the clutch in the playoffs as if he didn't sit his ass down and refuse to enter  game 3 of the 1994 semi final playoffs against the Knicks with his team down 0-2. Don't act  like Jordan didn't bail your ass out over and over again with his clutch play. It is really easy to criticize others when you have an overflated sense of self value. My bad why am I criticizing you. You did give us one of the most intelligent observations of all time  when you said James is better than Michael. I'm just saying
  5. Can the Lakers please get a PG and stop having the tag team of PICK and ROLL burn your asses year after rear?
  6. Dwight stop fooling yourself into thinking that by staying in Orlando that you are somehow distancing yourself from Shaq and that you will somehow deliver a Championship to the city of Orlando single handidly. Unless your supporting casts changes dramatically you are not even the best team in your own state.  You really are dillusional I mean Superman if you think you can beat the Heat with that shit you call a team.Get out while you can. Can you say L.A.
  7. Memo to the NBA can you please hold the drawing for the Lottery in front of us or reward the worst team with the #1 pick.  The Timberwolves were not throwing games last year. They are that damn bad. Having the Cavs get the number #1 pick is straight out of a comic book. In the famous words of Spike Lee DO THE RIGHT THING.
  8. Have you ever seen a man more at peace with their retirement than Shaq? There were no tears, no regrets or no apologies. Say what you want, but the Daddy did things his way, was a natural trailblazer, and he charmed and manipulated the media like no other. Reitrements are often seen like funerals with tears flowing and sadness filling the room, but Shaq's retirement was all about a celebration of his NBA career and an anticipation of his next career venture. Long live THE DADDY!!!!! 
  9. Shaq often feuded with Howard and said he was offended whenever they were compared. At his retirement he took one more shot at Howard and said that he was retiring the SUPERMAN nickname. The problems with today's players are they are so used to be handed shit that they don't even know when they are being called out or how to defend themselves. Shaq for what ever reason never liked David Robinson or Patrick Ewing two of the best centers during his era and he played with ruthless aggression whenever their paths crossed. Shaq never openly disrespected those guys , but he knew he had to show them on a nightly basis who the Daddy was.What did Dwight ever do to Shaq to earn  his respect or the nickname Superman.?
  10. Stop comparing Dirk to Bird. I am going to say this one time and one time only. There will never ever be another Larry Bird. Just because Dirk is white and can shoot the hell out of the ball does not make him Larry's equal. Go back and pop in tape of Larry talking shit and destroying guys like Dr.J in the 80's and then look at Dirk having his ass handed to him by guys like James Posey and you will see why those comparisons are not only short sighted but downright buffoonish.
  11. I'm out like Chris Bosh's manhood.

First off Dirk is the truth...i am very happy to witness the German Mamba handle his business this post season.
Although Dirk can J you up from anywhere on the court his game is lacking one thing in my opinion is that talking shit in your face. that would make him the second coming of Larry Bird. Now the rules are allot different then they were back in the day. If Dirk so much as looked at Prince James the wrong way he will get T'd up and likely fined 10k.
I asked a good friend a few days ago and I asked Ig this same thing today if I had a chance to play in the NBA finals I would have my ass on the court not sitting in a suit on the sidelines smiling enjoying life. man up dallas and play everyone that could contribute to a championship! Game two pissed me off that haywood didn't play. Ig made a good point how last yr the championship lakers team had bynum playing one leg and all on the court contributing a title.

lastly i would like to comment about something that i have seen allot of this post season that although it has happened thru the season it seems to be worse in these playoffs is the art of FLOPPING. The refs should call a foul for the player who flops not for the defender doing his job.

don't believe me read this:
Dallas Mavericks guard DeShawn Stevenson doesn't think his team can afford to play too physical against the Miami Heat in the NBA finals because LeBron James and Dwyane Wade do a great job at selling calls.

"They're great actors and they sell it," Stevenson said on Monday. "That's what they're supposed to do."

According to Art Garcia of ESPNDallas.com, the 30-year-old explained that when they touch the Heat stars, "they're so dramatic you might get a flagrant 2."

When asked about Stevenson's comments, Wade chose said he had no comment.

After the Heat eliminated the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals, Bulls star Joakim Noah called Miami "Hollywood as hell."

peace.
