    Watching Channing Frye play legitimately made me miss him.

    Man... in the Miami/Cleveland game Wade attempted 21 free throws......... TWENTY ONE FREE THROWS! That is more free throws than some teams attempt in a game. Stern needs to scale that shit back. It's getting out of hand.

    I think you were more accurate the first time. Sad really. This just makes Donaghy look more legit.

    Prove me wrong Stern. Instead have the mafia rig it for Portland for 3 or 4 titles and then you can always say "A conspiracy? But what about the Portland Dynasty? If it were rigged they never would have won." Come on Darth Stern, after all it worked with San Antonio right? Time for a dark horse champion to rise.

    Stern doesn't come down from the clouds... he comes up from hell where he rules.

    Seeing what happens to Nate's players as soon as they leave him. Channing looks totally different. Not settling with outside shots. Attacking the basket instead. Playing with more energy and attitude.

    That's great to see for hiem.

    I am glad Channing found a system that lets him play more hist style of game, and its more hometown kinda thing too, and he had a lot more charisma than Juwan Howard thats for sure.

    Ummm....

    A) Frye has shot more threes this season than he has in his entire career prior to being in Phoenix.

    B) Frye scored inside for us too. It wasn't all outside shots.

    Frye has always played well when starting, while coming off the bench he doesn't play near as well. So I guess you are saying Nate should have started him over LMA?

    This just goes to show why a running team will never win it. Any team with size that plays the right way and dominates on the inside, and which runs when opportunity allows, will beat a running team every time. Running teams thrive off of teams that shoot perimeter jumpers because the shots are less accurate, and the rebounds come off further which allows teams to run much easier. By going inside to your bigs, you attack their size, you shoot a higher percentage which limits their transition game, and you give your team time to get back on defense.
