Official 141 NBA Thread

HighlanderZ

Like I've discussed with 阿島, we (NBA fans) should start an NBA thread and we all can discuss ALL THINGS NBA (old or new) here. Join in.

Message sent to JC版主 for consideration！

HighlanderZ

Thank you! So who is your fav team? I am a Lakers fan... has been one for many many years. Other teams I like or care about are the Suns, Magic.

D-Rose got me interested in the Bulls recently too. I think his plays since Dec makes him a serious MVP candidate now.

阿島

Recent 4 years with Boston Celtics... (they worth to get one or two rings)
No particular team before Bulls Dynasty ended (無辦法啦，飲佐敦奶水大嘛！)

阿島

諗起 Bulls Dynasty，這幾日最有感覺的 NBA news 應該係『既生 KFC，何生 Sloan』
史龍教練離開帶了二十幾年的 Utah Jazz ... 可惜！可惜！

HighlanderZ

Actually that was a strange day...

A) Coach Sloan resigned after 23 years as the Jazz's head coach
B) Jordan joined the full court practice with the Bobcats.

Some people say D-Will might have forced Sloan out of Utah, but I don't entirely buy that. I mean, Sloan is a well respected Hall of Famer with so many years of experience in the league, a guy like D-Will just can't possibly "force" him out. I think it is more like a combination of things in Sloan's life that led him to decide it is time to leave. Whatever the real reason was, he will be missed; and D-Will will always be labelled as the guy who "forced" Sloan out... whether it was fair or not.

MJ 進入 Hall of fame 時在演說的最後曾講過, "One day you might look up and see me playing the game at 50. Don't laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion"。

信唔信，我選擇唔想信！唔好玩啦！世界在轉，時代在變！
佢永遠都會覺得現在年青的永不如他/他們，
正如一隻在天上飛的雄鷹，望著獅子和老虎打架，總會疑問為何獅子不飛上天再俯沖攻擊老虎，那樣就會獲勝？這就是能否『知己知彼』和明白『心有餘而力不足吧』！

Unless the Kings manage to come back, today could be rather interesting in which NO home teams win. I can't recall when was the last time it happened with at least 5 games on the same day.

The next four games for them (3 aways and 1 home) before All-stars weekend are difficult！
Two with OKC and the other two with Suns and Mavericks ... Good Luck！

2 terrible losses, and Kobe shouldn't have played @ Bobcats when he wasn't feeling well.

敗給 Magic 可以理解，但山貓... ???
重要係被山貓由頭 lead 到尾！
[講笑] 莫非 KFC 同 Kobe 特別放水被 MJ？(現時山貓同溜馬爭東岸第八相當緊湊)

HighlanderZ

For some strange reasons, we just cannot play well against the Bobcats. We have lost 8 out of the last 10 times we played them... not trying to make this loss look better, but I saw it coming. For starters, this game came right after @ Magic, and then Kobe was ill before this game. Like I said earlier, he shouldn't have even played, let alone playing 34 minutes.

Let's make another joke！

A good timing for Kobe got sick...
Take a break and then perform perfectly in All-Star game；
Get his 4th MVP in All-Star game... (exceed MJ！)

You 2 brothers are very funny! I was really laughing your dialogue. It's great to see other brothers get involved instead of seeing me myself only.
I must support this page.

My favorite team recently must be Boston Celtics.
I am a team oriented guy. Flashy play and superstar is awesome but when seeing an entire team get involve is priceless.

Don't get it wrong, I like to see Kobe, LBJ, D12, D-Rose, and all these flashy players. Without them. It is super boring.
Teams like Spurs, Celtics and Pistons (before Big Ben leave) are a great team to see.
You can see superstars try fit into the system and work as a whole. That is so cool.
Best strategic coaches are Greg Poppovich, Jerry Sloan, Phil Jackson, Larry Brown and George Karl. Sure you may say Jeff Van Gundy and Doc Rivers are good but compare to these folks, they have a lot to learn from these pro mind.

Although I am Lakers fan, I have to agree with you there... having said that, let's give Kobe some credit for playing within his team and role, ever since Phil returned to coach the Lakers in 2006. I think he had learned his lesson for one-guy-can't-win-it-all in 2005.

As for coaching, Doc is a great young coach. I mean, look at his track record with both the Magic and Celtics. Sure, you have also mentioned some great coaches, but personally I am not big fan of both Larry Brown and George Karl. The former always hop from one place to the next, usually when he wears out his welcome. As for Karl, he used to develop bad relationship with his players over a period of time... yet, unlike his days with the Sonics and the Bucks, I think he has turned the corner in Denver.

I hope 『JC版主』should consider to setup a 『籃球專區』！
In fact，a high percentage of thread in 體育運動區 is about basketball；
if that『專區』is established，it will be more focus。

Yes！你令我記起活塞隊的兩枚冠軍指環！
佢地有著現時綠軍所擁有的一樣絕殺：團隊精神！
佢地發揮得更好！因為相對綠軍而言，活塞並無 superstar (個人認為 Big Ben、Billups、Prince、Wallace、Hamilton 等並非第一線的球員)
不得不佩服當時管理層的眼光！

嘩嘩嘩！竟然俾我講中！
而且估唔到西岸竟可成功打敗東岸班『筋肉人』！
恭喜 Kobe！恭喜西岸！
