Around SBN: In Crunch Time, Spurs Don't Change Their Game

Game Thread for Game 5: Now with Free Tupperware with Proof of Posting

Here's what we know. Lebron is lazy. Deshawn Stevenson is awesome. Chris Bosh has played well but has stupid braids and looks like a giraffe. Dwyane Wade is the boss. Dirk Nowitzki has seen the face of God and only has so long to act before he goes totally mad and devours Rick Carlisle's ankles. Jason Kidd is old. Juwan Howard is old. Peja Stojakovic sucks. Mark Jackson should stay quiet.

I guess we discuss this here?

As of today in NY he has a 56% "stay" vote among his constituency.

You have to consider how quickly Chris Lee was ejected for the craigslist post/shirtless picture. Depending how you look at it, Weiner was looking for kicks with at least a handful of women other than his pregnant wife, and instead of his bare chest like Lee, he brandished his bare schlong, and I’m pretty sure he sent some of those slutty messages and pictures to women staffers. Morals aside, that’s just an abuse of power.

He sounds like a dirtbag to me. What do you like about his politics, V?

Just because someone is a partisan loudmouth doesn’t mean he is an effective legislator. Weiner had a reputation for several years as one of the laziest, least hard-working members of the House, more interested in cable TV appearances than actually representing his constituents.

Like, I get in some jam, and I’m talking about it, and I hear, “Pray about it.” And the first thing that goes through my head is “God’s got better stuff to do.” And even then, why pray about struggling with a class when there’s terrible things going on on this planet.

At the risk of a party foul...

IMO, this says more about people than it does about God. If one believes that God’s first and foremost concern is about making sure all of the relatively unimportant stuff in one’s own life goes perfectly, then that belief reveals an incredible amount of self-centeredness, selfishness, ignorance, and arrogance (albeit completely unintentionally).

In other words, if you believe that God is primarily concerned about you, what you actually believe is that you are more concerned about you than you area bout anyone else.

And that, to me, is completely antithetical to what it means to follow Jesus, to be a Muslim, to be Jewish, etc. It’s completely back asswards.

by brgulker on Jun 10, 2011 12:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

It’s what Paul Tillich called the object of ultimate concern. If your belief is “God’s gonna help me get that promotion because I’m me,” you’re not really worshiping any deity as much as you are yourself. I guess what my issue is I have no idea what ultimately concerns me.

I took a Religious Studies class and when our teacher mentioned that theory, it was like getting dropped on my head. I just went, “Oh my God, that makes so much sense.”

He was money in the Chicago series. So weird.

by garrettelliott on Jun 9, 2011 11:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

He was the best player in that series by a wide margin.

He was about as destructive defensively as a wing player can be. I can’t figure what’s gotten into him (maybe it’s not what’s gotten into him, but what’s gotten into his girlfriend — Rashard Lewis. ZING!) in this series. He’s been unbelievably passive on offense. His shot selection in the fourth says is all.

7:43: LeBron James misses three point jumper. (A contested shot with three seconds left on the shot clock. It was a terrible possession for Miami. No movement whatsoever.)

2:55: LeBron James misses 17-foot jumper. (Terrible shot. Just terrible. Miami had him isolated on Kidd and LeBron didn’t even explore the possibility of putting the ball on the floor and going towards the hoop. A complete bailout shot. I was almost embarrassed for him.)

1:50: LeBron James misses 25-foot three point jumper. (Wide open three point attempt with six seconds left on the shot clock. Dallas was up by two at the time and Kidd was practically begging him to shoot this one. He was playing about seven or eight feet off of James. Dallas will live with that one every time. Once again, he didn’t even consider the possibility of putting the ball on the floor.)

0:29: LeBron James makes driving layup. (NOW he goes to the rim. This shot brought Miami back within five, but Dallas already had the game well in hand.)

I'm going to quote myself from another place.
I could honestly sit down and analyze what this all means for LeBron and the Decision and all that crap, but really, it can be broken down very easily:

1. LeBron doesn’t want to be “the man.”
2. He joined up with Wade hoping Wade could be “the man” and he could just do his thing.
3. When he finally needs to step it up, he wilts.

See, the biggest thing I get from LeBron is that he’s so concerned with criticism and the whole “no matter what he does, he can’t win.” Guess what, neither could Jordan or Bryant or most superstar players. You know when they did win? When they won championships. They lived with the criticism. They knew that no matter what they did, as the best player on the team they will be second-guessed on their decisions. Whether it be to take over, defer, or somewhere inbetween. They understood the nature of the beast. Win or go home, figuratively speaking. Win games, and the criticism goes away. They can’t go after you when you’ve got those championship rings.

Sadly, LeBron doesn’t get this. Instead, he makes a commercial called “What should I do?” which just goes to show he’s more likely to play the victim then own up and fall on the sword if he tries and fails.
LeBron deserves the hatred because it just fuels exactly what the public perception of him is. He’s soft, weak, rather would play the victim, and will defer to someone who at least has the balls to go “I will try and win this game, and if I come up short it’s on me.”
Here’s the thing with LeBron: when you take away his ability to bull his way to the free throw line, he’s not nearly as effective as he is when he’s getting the whistle. He’s not getting to the line this series, and it’s really starting to expose some of his weak elements offensively. 16 total foul shots over 5 games. 44 foul shots in the Chicago series, 42 in the Boston series, 50 in the Philly series. Part of it is that he’s not as aggressive, but honestly it seems like the refs are not rewarding him for bowling his way into the lane like they normally do.

Now, he’s still an amazing player. But if he doesn’t get the calls, he’s no longer unstoppable.

LeBron crypto-news:

D-Wade had personal problems for 2 yrs with his divorce and fight for custody of his kids. Nobody said a word. You know why? Because it’s none of our damn business. Certain things cross the line. Bottom line: LBJ has to get it done. You don’t need to know his family issues. You just need to know he’d better overcome it to get a title. Period.
LeBron’s been dealing with personal stuff for years. The only reason it’s relevant now is b/c of his timid performance..possibly the worse of his career. You play this badly — as if you’re in a coma — with his talent, that’s psychological. That’s not about talent or schemes.

If Lebron’s dealing with rough shit, I’d rather he be up front about it and say, “I’m dealing with some rough stuff.” But he doesn’t want to lose his endorsements. And that’s the ultimate thing I don’t like about Lebron. It’s all about the money.

What do you think the odds are of Lebron getting dealt if he doesn’t get a ring in the next year or two, or maybe Bosh? I tend to think Lebron…but you never know.

I kind of feel bad for him…he must have thought it was going to be this easy. Dallas has played determined and cold blooded throughout the series, and the Game 2 meltdown was a giant red flag. Champions don’t blow 15 point leads with 7 to play. Next!

it would be mose wise for Miami to trade Lebron instead of Bosh/Wade

If I were Riley, I’d entertain the idea of a Lebron for Howard swap. A Bosh/Howard frontcourt would be pretty much impossible to contain and just as hard to score against. Two stud bigs and a superstar SG is the standard championship formula, and such a trade would pencil in Miami for a handful of championships over the next several years, moreso than the team could as currently constructed. Beyond Howard, there’s really not much Miami should trade for.

Not only does LeBron only have 11 points in 5 fourth-quarters, but

According to a source I read, he’s played every minute of each of the fourth quarters, making that 11 points in 60 minutes. Which, per 34, minutes, is like around 6.

The great thing about obviously awful stats is that you can find other ways to look at them that make them seem even more awful.

I can't think of one, and I've been following the game pretty closely for a long time now

I mean, it turns out that Michael Jordan is an incredibly arrogant dick, but even he managed to mostly contain that while he was actually playing.

And is such a strange arrogance

“We’re such superstars that we treated the NBA like our own personal AAU league…and our team still isn’t that good…”

That was great to watch. Can they make themselves into greater pricks?
(The answer is yes, and if they lose this series they will certainly embarass themselves greatly along the way)

Anybody can happen!

Mr 'broken clutch' James.

It turns out, he was not really that passive this time. He had 19 shots – more than any other player, including Brian Cardinal. Still he was outscored by Dirk, Wade, Terry, Bosh and only just equaled JJ Barea, though it took him additional 20 minutes.

In the fourth quarters of the Finals, LBJ has trully been a consumate pro, an unselfish, savvy, gritty veteran, outsmarting every single opponent, on every single play. Only it’s the other way around.

JJ Barea was awesome. Period.

I honestly feel bad for Bosh at this point

From everything I’ve heard he’s a pretty thoughtful guy (I guess he reads a lot and doesn’t go out as much as James and Wade), and he just looked CRUSHED after last night. He just kind of reminds me of that nerdy kid in elementary school or middle school who started trying to act cool to get on the same level as the cool kids (James and Wade), but his idea of “cool,” is this weird caricature where he goes to fashion shows and acts like a douche. He’s toned that down recently and he’s played a damn sight better than James has this series.

Bosh is averaging 18 and 8 in Miami’s three losses, he hit the game winner in game 3, and he’s averaging like 3 offensive rebounds a game this series. His body language at the press conference last night was pretty much, “what the fuck else do I have to do? Maybe I should’ve gone to Chicago…” LeBron is still a bitch and Wade has always bugged me, but I’m kind of OK with Bosh. Outside of that one really egregious flop against Chicago during the regular season, he does that shit WAY less than LeBron and Wade (there was that time he fell down, but got poked in the eye while wearing contacts, which I can imagine hurts like a bitch). And it’s weird to say, considering his reputation, but Bosh has shown up every single series — regardless of who’s defending him (like Garnett, Noah, Chandler, etc.) — while Wade got shown up by Bogans/Brewer, and LeBron is getting punked by Shawn Marion and DeShawn Stevenson. So, yeah. Wade and LeBron can go fuck themselves, but I’m back to being mostly indifferent to Bosh.

How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Yeah, by most accounts I’ve read, Kobe’s actually a very quiet, super introverted guy. Maybe Bosh is really like that. I think this whole conversation nailed what my big issue with Bosh is, that all of this “Look at me, I’m a pimp” posturing is exactly that, posturing. He’s a fake tough guy.

This is a solid point, but there’s being in a bad situation and then there’s being a cockbag. Bosh was a cockbag about it, and even asked his fans where he should go on twitter.

fitting that he should take his talents to South Beach, as it were.

they’re all whiny ref begging hollywood as hell shitbags who laugh when a dude is sick but still manages to carry his team on his back.

It’s popular to wish that they lose, but I think with good reason.

Watching that I stumbled in to the world of early '90s St. Ides commercials

Wow My parents did a good job of sheltering me when I was 13 because I imagine if I heard those when I was a kid I would have been reaching for the crooked letter my whole life.

There is an entire album/compilation of St. Ides joints, Tads

DJ Pooh did 1/2 the beats for those, I think Crooked I was paying him fat 90s dollars for those tracks. Pooh was the brainchild behind Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as well as lacing fat joints for cats like The Alkaholiks and King Tee back in the 90s.

The St Ides tapes also serve as a reminder for what a sellout Cube was- how dare you misappropriate “jacking for beats” and “bird in the hand” for a Malt liquor jingle sir. I saw your “Coors Light is colder than Ice Cube? Hell Naw” advertisement the other day and shook my damn head. Shame on you O’Shea.

I don't buy it

Hell, right now Stevenson, Peja, Mahinmi, and Cardinal have played minutes for Dallas in the Finals. A team led by Calderon, Bosh, and Barg won 47 in 2006-07, there’s no reason they couldn’t do even better with each in their prime. Yeah, Colangelo’s done a shitty job and it wouldn’t be easy, but there have been plenty of better players stuck on worse teams that didn’t quit on them. And as bad as they are, with a non-bosh Bosh they could have turned it around – they would have been one Garbajosa away.

"one Garbajosa away"

Should be a meme, but the difficulty of spelling “Garbajosa” might get in the way.

by Toledo Joe on Jun 10, 2011 5:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

That's a total simplification, though

T.J. Ford had a career year, we’re talking about Calderon before he got paid (hasn’t been the same player since then), the team still had a decent coach in Sam Mitchell, and they had a number of solid role players like Anthony Parker, Kris Humphries, Rasho Nesterovic, and Calderon, who was a backup at the time.

The next year’s team — even with a career year from Calderon and a really good year from Bosh — won 41 games, and they probably would’ve won a couple more if Bosh hadn’t missed 14 games. A lot of that had to do with playing Bargnani 24 mpg. If you look at Toronto, they’ve gotten progressively worse the more they’ve played Bargs. It’s not Bosh’s fault those team’s were shit.

And Dallas is winning playing those guys minimally. It’s easy to say that and exclude Dirk, Chandler, Terry, Kidd, and Barea — who are the reason Dallas is winning. It’s a totally unfair comparison. I never thought I’d be defending Bosh, but the guy had minimal help in Toronto. The failure of that franchise falls on Colangelo, who has been an absolutely TERRIBLE GM. Oh, and in his “quitting” season, Bosh averaged 24 and 11. He may have acted like kind of a dick, but he had arguably the best season of his career on the court.

How's that for a slice of fried gold?

He had pretty offensive numbers on a team that needed pretty offensive numbers as much as a third nipple while playing some of the worst defense of his career and took nearly a month off with a phantom injury that cost them a trip to the playoffs.

The role players on last year’s team were even BETTER than in 06-07 (Jack, Amir, Evans, Rasho was still there), and Bargnani had improved vastly over that year. Calderon is who he’s always been, dishes out a lot of assists, fairly efficient scorer, but doesn’t play an ounce of d. But those teams weren’t shit – they were just missing Garbo, they were never the same after he went down. And rightfully so, he was a gigantic pain in the ass who played with a crazy amount of energy and toughness. Then last year a rich man’s Garbo comes free with Gerald Wallace, who would have shored up all their weaknesses and then some, and the Raps would have had all the pieces they needed to outbid Portland. With Wallace, they’d be a 50 win team and title contender. If Bosh hadn’t of quit.

Bosh didn't endear himself to Toronto fans, especially in his last year

But he never seemed like such a bad guy to me, aside from that. And I know everyone likes to bag on him for not being at the same level as James and Wade, but he really is pretty darn good.

I still wonder what would have happened if we had drafted him instead of Darko. Bosh was the most likely alternative, because Detroit’s obvious need was a big man. It worked out in the short-medium term, because we wound up getting Rasheed — not sure if we would have done that if we had Bosh, who was pretty good from the start. But then again, we might still have Bosh.
