Yeah i actually saw that horse game, i was terribly confused. I couldn't understand why he couldn't miss (I was also confused why he was in the horse competition). Then the next few games i watched him play he didnt shoot very well and it confused me even more. He was shooting so well in the horse game, but when he was in a real game his shot was much worse, and he doesnt take many shots that he isn't wide open for.

I understand that maybe he didn't need to take jump shots in highschool and college, but he never shot around at practice or just by himself whenever? Also the thing about his hands, I don't understand why having bigger hands would make it harder to shoot. Being able to palm a ball makes it so easy to shoot, even if his hands are insanely big I don't understand because for example I have shot around with a soccer ball before which is much smaller than a basketball and it's just so easy to shoot with. I could never comprehend why shaq shoots his freethrows like he does, I just thought he was dumb and didn't want to work on it.

the thing I like about Boston is, every guy on the court (except rashard) knows his role. they have slow, shooting half court team so they desperatly need rondo's quickness. I am still not sold rondo can run a team like sacramento, philly or even chicago.garnett acts like a glue on the court and in the locker room, I am sure without garnett they wouldn't be anywhere close to this level. (and I really hate his arrogance)

something about the draft lottery, I feel sorry for john wall. wizards should be the worst case scenario for him. good thing is he can shot the ball 50 times a night and the ball will be in his hands like 80% of the game.

I was having a good laugh during the lottery. First because the Nets got screwed out of the top pick but also because Philly sent Jrue Holiday, the rookie starting point guard as their representative. Once it was clear Philly had lucked into the top three, Holiday must have been up there silently praying for the 2nd pick instead of the 1st so that they couldn't draft Wall who would be his immediate replacement.

Coaches are the most over rated and ridiculously paid people in the NBA. Bottom line is this for the most part in the NBA they come up with how they want tempo some plays etc but the players are the only ones that can get it done. Example Phil Jackson making 12 million give me a break. Yes he is a championship calibre coach if there is such a thing but 12 million this really shows what is wrong with the game.

Phil Jackson is what sets the Lakers apart from the Cavs. Coachers are not overrated in the least. I'd rather pay a legendary coach who's arguably the best in the game 12 million than a dime a dozen player like David Lee.

Also, tell the Nuggets that coaches are overrated.

Good coaches make talanted teams great, but good coaches can't make a bad team good. For example it doesnt matter who is coaching the nets or warriors they aren't gonna do much, but for a team like the lakers phil definetly makes them better, and as for the cavs mike brown arguably makes them worse.

I couldn't agree with this anymore than if I had written it myself.

Rondo could after a season of chemistry...
He is a cerebral player who knows how to use his" pieces "

It should be a good championship series, but i think kobe and pau are too good and the lakers take it in 5 or 6
