Carmelo Anthony is not going to fit with the Pistons and I'm pretty sure that trade wouldn't happen.

Remember the 2003(or was it 04?) draft?

Pistons took Darko Milicic over Carmello, d-wade, and Chris Bosh. =/

And I'm sure playing for the pistons when he was that young would have taught him to play defense, and playing for such a great team probably would have given him more will to actually play.

Or David West, Travis Outlaw, Leandro Barbosa, Josh Howard, or even Kendrick Perkins. :P

It seems like Paul Pierce and Ray Allen can't both play good on the same night. It's always one or the other.

And with the way the playoffs have gone for the celtics, it seems like if they both played good every game, the celtics would be near unbeatable.

Lakers will bounce back these next two games, and will probably get some home court calls to help the cause a little. I expect this one to go 7

Definitely. The lakers aren't Western Conference Champs for nothing. They'll bounce back winning three straight, and this game will go to a historic, and memorable game 7 matchup; with the better team winning it all.

That team being the Lakers of course.

The way the Pistons are, their team chemistry, losing any one starter I think would be like the Cavs potentially losing James, or the Lakers losing Kobe.

Maybe not THAT bad, but the generally idea is still their, they would be hurt.

The thing is that, the Pistons have an allstar lineup. They don't necessarily have one player in which they depend on, such as the Cavs and Lebron being their star player. Pistons have a bunch of guys who play well with each other and average about equal points, and do what's best for their team.

I think that the Pistons just wanted to give him a good future, which didn't happen at all. But the thing is, if that draft had happened, then Miami winning the champion ship, wouldn't have happened. Funny, how one wrong draft can change history.

Well, back in that draft, no one knew that players like David West, and Leandro Barbosa would be spectacular players. But i think what the Pistons did was dumb, but it doesn't matter; Pistons have a good team as it is.

Having a good team doesn't matter.

You have to be great.

Did anyone watch the ESPN about Odom being ass soft as tissue paper!? It was quite hilarious IMO

Crimson Phoenix · 06-12-2008, 07:09 PM

Odom is kind of soft though.

Actually almost all of the Lakers squad is soft.

Hollywood · 06-12-2008, 07:10 PM

Yeah. And they are showing it in this series. Odom hasnt been driving AT ALL! He has been backing off and settling for the jump shot. Instead of taking the higher percentage drive, and trying to get to the line as well.

Crimson Phoenix · 06-12-2008, 07:11 PM

When you're not physical and you try to do physical things, you make bad decisions.

That's why Boston has been drawing charges on him when he's been actually trying to go to the hoop. He doesn't do it at the right time. He has to be aggressive right when the refs through up the ball granny style.
