So since I provided actual evidence you want to clutch Hibbert. Hibbert is nice too, he proved how nice he was against us and smacked Tyson around...lol U Mad

Im not mad. This is what you do.

Paul George is allowed to defend and pick his spots because he has Hibbert and West contributing big in the playoffs. He is very good but the NBA is funny like that. Rudy Gay was the next BIG thing until he got paid. Now he is old news.

Rudy Gay was never that high....Matter of fact hardly no one pursued Gay in free agency he was not part of the Grizz's playoff series win against the Spurs.... he was injured then and when Zach arrived he had to take a backseat to him along with Gasol....much like Mayo had to.

West didn't play well against us if you recall correctly. Paul George doesn't pick his spots as in he has so little talent, he's getting by on being in a good situation. George is an overall high IQ player who has such a balanced game it makes it easy for himself and his teammates. He helps make Hibbert and West better as he's the facilitator to both of them and helps stretch the floor for them to operate. He's able to impact the game without scoring.

There are only maybe 1-2 players in this league who can guard Lebron and look fairly adequate doing it.....none of them are Knicks this we do know.

If you look back at regular season Hibbert played like garbage until the last 2mos of season. Meanwhile George was their rock all yr all across the board.

he was checking lebron as good as any one ever has all night AND had a 63.5TS%. rudy gay is a fool's gold player which is why he was traded, appropriately. this kid is for REAL.

Revisionist history at its finest.

Let's not act like Rudy Gay is now a bum. Team USA invites scrubs now.

There was also full body slams late in the game no call in the lane. There also shouldn't have been a technical foul call on Young. There were a couple missed travel calls on Wade.

The Grizzlies offered him a max extension so why would other teams make an offer to an already signed player?

Im done. You hyping George in a pathetic attempt to take subliminal shots at Melo.

The Grizzlies said they would match any offer he received as a RFA.... but he never was pursued by any teams. No.... teams with Gay were like lol he's not worth $85mil, therefore there was no hype with him like you're trying to make it be.

Teams say that all the time....you know like we said with Lin up to a Billion Dollars and Morey said Yeah Right we'll take him for less...Same with the Pacers on Hibbert and the Blazers said we'll bite and got an air biscuit...same with Batum and the Blazers but Sota said we'll bite and got an air biscuit...same with the Hornets and Gordon but Phx said we'll bite and got an air biscuit. When teams feel you're worth pursuing they'll pursue you and when you're not they won't.

Stay up on NBA events, past and present it will do you much good.

I'm not hyping George, I've been watching him for a while since end of December as I was comparing him to younger players in this league. For the record if it makes you feel better, he's what we were hoping Gallo and Chandler would be in their 3rd yr and they weren't.

GawdGeorge deal with it

Rudy Gay was supposed to be in Minneapolis at about 4 p.m. Thursday for the first of what promised to be several dates with suitors in NBA free agency.

But Gay never made it to a planned meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Instead, the Grizzlies stepped in and swept their restricted free agent forward off his feet.

Gay and the Grizzlies verbally agreed Thursday to a five-year, estimated $82 million contract less than 12 hours after the league's free-agent period began. The deal will start at $13.3 million based on projections for the league's new salary-cap figures.

"I want to win, and I want to do it here," Gay said, confirming his new deal when reached by telephone. "My whole thing is to progress. We have to make some upgrades, but I like where we're headed."

The Griz clearly consider Gay, a four-year veteran, to be a cornerstone. Team brass, especially owner Michael Heisley, insisted for months that the Griz would re-sign Gay.

While teams and players are free to negotiate now, deals can't officially be signed until next Thursday.

Gay, 23, said he will not visit any other teams, choosing instead to vacation with his family. New Jersey and the Los Angeles Clippers were said to be interested in him.

There is no reason to believe that Gay will have a sudden change of heart because he received more money from the Griz than any other team could pay.

The most Gay could have gotten from another team was a five-year deal starting at $13.3 million with 8 percent annual raises. Memphis will pay 10.5 percent annual increases, the most allowed according to league rules.

With Gay's restricted free-agent status, the Griz could match any offer presented by another team. It is believed that the Grizzlies' immediate, maximum-contract offer was designed to counter the possibility of Gay receiving a front-loaded offer sheet valued at up to $20 million in the first year.

The Heat went 37-4 at home. What we are witnessing is that D Wade is old and hurt.

Heat are nervous wreck when the games mean something at home against a team coming to play 48 minutes. Watch what happen in Indiana, when they play loose.

I'm talking playoffs reg season doesn't mean squat now.

I love watching George play. as you said, his game has such balance and it starts with defense...but he is also a good passer, and his offensive game has so much potential.. Rudy gay was never that versatile, physically equal, but not equal in overall game.. Paul George is on his way to being very special if he keeps this up.. heck already I think Steven A smith said he was a star right now..

They're over .700 at home in the playoffs too. I think you're overanalyzing the mental state of the players. With Wade injured, the Heat and Pacers look pretty evenly matched to me.

I don't think he is analyzing anything.. that is the problem.. he is finding a way to mitigate how well the pacers are playing and match up with the heat.....

You seem to not comprehend what I mean when I say " When opposing teams coming to play 48 minutes" That's ok just watch the difference when the Pacers face a team that's good come to play 48 mintues and their coach puts them in position to win.

I'm not taking anything away from the Pacers, they are playing very well. But when a coach puts his team in position to win on the road and play 48 minutes the home team has played with jitters and guys are afraid to shoot. Miami played with Jitters in both games, now watch the Pacers do the same and lose their 1st home game.

Knicks had the Pacers in the same position(they almost lost gm 6) but Woodson didn't keep the gas pressed down enough to win.

The Pacers are "very good." Yet when they win it's always because the opponent was nervous, forgot that they were supposed to play for 48 minutes, and had a bad coach.
