QUOTE (MNDOGG @ Nov 24 2009, 03:56 PM) well its very common for players to have career years the year their contractrs are up...this is just the opposite situation.. a guy sitting in the middle of a fact contract playing for a shitty team in a hopeless situation..motivation (aka contracts) make players put up career numbers..and lack of motivation( like West this year) has the opposite affect..im just saying that i dont think...

QUOTE (greenz @ Nov 24 2009, 10:52 AM) False. West was having a bad year before Paul's injury. It's 10 games. 10. Way too early to draw any sort of definitive conclusions about a player's year.

QUOTE (greenz @ Nov 24 2009, 05:01 PM) Most players do not all the sudden decide to play with more effort just because of a change of scenery. Their numbers change because their roles may change with different teams, not because they all the sudden decide to give more effort. There are always exceptions, but that is not the norm in any professional team sport. With West, he has played like crap from game 2 on, before they...

QUOTE (greenz @ Nov 24 2009, 02:35 PM) It can affect attitude, no doubt, but do you just start missing shots because of it? NBA players have a lot to play for, not just wins and losses. If he starts playing like a scrub, then what happens when his contract is up and he is a free agent? Is he gonna tell them, oh, well that year, I didn't like my team, so i just didn't give much effort...If he wants to get a good...

QUOTE (emperikal @ Nov 26 2009, 04:01 PM) First post here. Glad to finally find a board with some knowledgeable heads to discuss some fantasy ball! What are people's thoughts on the prospects of Tim Thomas? Hes just recently returned from injury and last night showed us a glimpse of what he's capable of when he's 100%. Will he get enough minutes on a deep Maverick's team to warrant him as a decent...

QUOTE (markdash @ Nov 22 2009, 02:32 PM) Points are irrelevant if you don't pay attention to how many shots it takes to generate them. And if Iverson was a top 3 player in his prime, his prime must not have been very long because he only made three all-NBA first teams. And Jordan didn't shoot alot? Only way you're going to avg big time points is if you shoot alot... This post has been edited by EsTiLO :...

QUOTE (Thats Ridiculous @ Nov 22 2009, 09:53 PM) would that be sick or suck if Iverson joined the New Orleans Hornets? God... Chris Paul and Iverson in the same back court? That'll be the worst defensive backcourt in the NBA... a lot of steals... but a lot points given up

( would that be sick or suck if Iverson joined the New Orleans Hornets? -------------------- , PG - Jason Kidd / Rajon Rondo ,SG - J.R. Smith / Stephen Curry )

QUOTE (cmilne233 @ Nov 25 2009, 12:22 AM) 15 minutes for Foye tonight, 4th guy off the bench, was virtually out of the rotation prior to Miller's injury. Boykis appears to have taken his spot in the rotation. The guy is worthless, with or without Miller. Dropped him and decided to take the risk on James Harden, Thabo had a crappy game last night and I can only hope that although Harden will get 20 min or more a game,...

QUOTE (mbroo5880i @ Nov 24 2009, 02:40 PM) Dude, you better pull that trade immediately. You can get a lot more for Lebron than Horford and West. I would be getting LBJ...the owner loves horford, but i doubt he loves him that much.
