Vince Carter in that game was like 7-23, so yeah he did shut him down. Only reason why he had decent amount of points was because of the fouls. When you hold vince to 15 pts on shooting, that is a good job. Sorry you cant understand something simple like that.
Also what is so laughable about Sasha? They have been raving about his style of play as of late. Had 15 pts in game one and couple of assists and was all over Carter. Then last game had 17 pts and a few rbds. He has come a long way from his previous seasons. If he can play against Carter, he can play agains Hamilton.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Dont know what would be killing them in the boards, but they out rebounded NJ 49 to 30 in the last game and 19 of them were offensive. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

vince carter and richard hamilton are 2 very different players. they really aren't even comparable. vince carter is a slasher who likes to create with the ball and get in the paint and draw fouls. hamilton is a shooter, who is at his best when he can catch and shoot. hamilton is reggie miller, without the great 3 point range, but better off the dribble. hamilton is constantly moving without the ball. he'll run you off 2-3 screens. hamilton is a well condition athlete and does not quit moving without the basketball. also hamilton is a better pure shooter then carter and he'll get open looks. i doubt sasha will be able to stay with hamilton and that would have to make cleveland rotate or switch off, and detroit is great at exploiting mis-matches. you really can't even compare carter and hamilton's game because they are vastly different players.

cleveland will not be able to out-rebound detroit like they are new jersey. i mean that front court new jersey has is awful. mikki moore wasn't good enough to play for detroit when the pistons were bad. it's not good when your point guard is your best rebounder. cleveland is a better rebounding team then detroit, but they will not dominate like they are against new jersey.

I see your point on how they are different. We will have to see being Sasha didnt play much against Detriot being he was on the bench for being a dumbass or he would have been playing a lot more awhile ago. He told the coach that his defense is his offense, so the bench he went to,lol! As far as out rebounding Detriot, I think we can. Z and Gooden average over 8 a game and James over 6 and Hughs and Pav can board at given times. Then have a board monster in Anderson Verajo and if he started would be close to 10 a game. Also Kidd has been a rebound monster his entire career weather it was a good season or a bad one. Guy is just that talented.

rasheed and webber average 7 a piece, prince is good for around 5, mcdyess gets 6 off the bench, maxiell can rebound as well. cleveland would probably out rebound detroit, but not by the huge margain they are against new jersey. without ben wallace, detroit has averaged more rebounds and blocks. chicago is one the better offensive rebounding teams in the league, and detroit has played them great on the glass

Well of course they will be averaging more being they have more people to go after the ball. B Wallace is just a monster and so is hard to contain him without getting the ball. Reminds me of Dennis Rodman from back in the day. Kinda strange cause he played both for the Pistons and Bulls, lol!

ben got lots of comparisons to rodman because they were both small and could rebound.

Tonight was an intense game Jazz vs GS

Jazz won in overtime //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif

Assuming you mean the Suns, I am pretty sure PWNS does not mean getting blown out AT HOME vs the Pistons with no Billups for the whole 2nd half!!

Golden State had that game. Pisses me off as the refs missed two calls near the end of the game which really turned things around for the Jazz. For instance the bounce pass that was out on the Jazz, then the trurned it over saying it went off Bierdinis leg and then when Baron Davis went out of bounds, BS! I have DVR and went over and over and I didnt see it touch his leg nor did Baron Davis touch the line.

I am happy for Derek Fisher though and have to say Carlos Boozer is a heck of a guy. Most people hate talking after the game, but he was interviewed for like what seemed like 10 mins. So congrads to them even though the refs screwed the Warriors in that game.

i have to disagree, the ball DID touch his leg, they showed it from the side angle and i hate utah!

If it did touch him, then he has some hairy *** legs, cause I paused it and rewound it and still didnt see it touch him.

it really didnt hit his leg it skinned it, but it looked like it did touch, oh well, gs will dominate at home

Was a little blurry when paused, but I swear it didnt touch. I do need glasses soon though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I hope they do well at home, I really think they are in trouble though. I was hoping for them to at least win 1 at Utah. They will have to win both at home to have a chance, cause that Jazz crowd was something else last night.
