    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    What about not actually dunking it (like Howard last year)? Does that deserve a big deduction?

    Since you're wrong about everything else I'm glad you say that.

    Rudy's 2nd dunk was the 2nd best of the night. He basically took a dunk that has gotten 50s in the past and made it better. It's not his fault Pau messed up the pass so many times.

    Unfortunately, the drunk contest has become less about the drunk, and more about what you wear.

    A 35 for Nates second dunk would have been generous.

    He had two of my three favorite dunks. We all knew Howard would make the finals, and it really is a popularity contest. It was cool to see him throw down some sweet dunks, and simply be participating. I think he could've had a 50 on the second one if it hadn't taken so many tries/so long. Oh well, such is life.

    Dwight Howard completely sucked, too. His best dunk was the one off the side of the backboard, but even that was already done by Gerald Green, except Green caught it and windmilled before stuffing it.

    Howard got a 50 after taking attempt after attempt after attempt. Rudy and Howard were the best dunkers tonight.

    Petition's don't work. Nothing you can do except stop watching the NBA.

    Nate didn't deserve to be in the finals, but he did deserve to beat Howard in them.

    How many times did Rudy attempt that dunk? If you throw up enough full court shots, you'll eventually hit one of them. Same type of situation here. If you want to impress people, take less than 3 tries to complete the dunk.

    Dwight didn't deserve a 100 in the first round either.

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    Isn't that irrelevant anyways? In the first round Rudy was one of the best 2 dunkers. Nate's dunk over Dwight didn't come until the finals

    After his first dunk Dwight was horrible. And his dunk was not 12 feet, it wasn't any higher than the box. And 11 feet isn't that impressive. Drexler asked the NBA to raise the hoop to 11 feet way back in the day and they told him NO.

    Dwight Howard is 6'9, maybe 6'10 in shoes.

    Can a mod change this clowns avatar?

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    Was it Rudy's fault? Pau was throwing up horrible passes, you could see Rudy getting upset with him for continuing to mess up the pass. You can't tell me Rudy's 2 dunks weren't good enough to get him in the finals. His first dunk was very nice as well, and it was a freaking 42. The NBA was riding Howards jock the whole time.

    rudy took forever on his dunks, and eventually had to scrap the pass for an easier one. it should have been westbrook IMHO
