Yup, Zo gets posterized and Vince has the game winning shot blocked by Wade and Zo.. Zo is not a shell of himself, he still disrupts a ton of shots and has been playing very well on both ends of the court.

uh, Zo used to be a 20/10 guy. yes, he's a shell of his former self. he's effective, but he's no where near his prime.

I've probably watched 85% of the Heat games in the past 10 years, trust me when I tell you, that on the defensive end, Zo looks almost as great as ever. Of course he has lost a step, he is no longer in his 20's and went through major surgery.. But as a Pistons fan you know he had an impact in the Eastern Finals last year and if given the minutes this year he can average 10 boards/2 or more blocks per game.

like i said, he's effective, but to say he's not a shell of his former self......he used to be an all-star level talent and now he's a solid role player.

IMHO, it could be said that Vince is a shell of his former self. However, he still sees himself as an all-star and can't be a solid role player.

what??

Look at Vince's number this season and last season after he joined the Nets:

they're the best of his career. the analogy of Zo's career and VC's career is waaaay off. Vince will be an allstar this season, easily......well unless he gets hurt, lol.

That's probably the second major facial in this thread. 😛 those stats are awesome in comparison.

He's still talented, except now he can't d!ck around with teammates like Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson bringing the effort every night.

You're right. I let my opinions on Vince during his time in Toronto outweigh his stats (which I never looked up). For some reason, I thought his stats were higher during the early T.O. years.

Even if Zo was in his prime, he still just can't jump as high and fast as either Vince or RJ

The best posterization was 2 years ago when Wade gave Jermaine O'Neal a nasty facial.

No offensive fouls under the basket.

Wrong, you can be called for offensive if you push off or use your non-shooting hand to clear your way to the hoop.

HA!!! Nothing beats being dunked over like Vince did in the Olympics. He also even did this to Duncan, but Duncan was smart enough to back away at the last moment to avoid the same fate.

SIIIIICK.

:Q

Offensive foul, Zo shoots two at the other end.

It's hard to block a guy's shot, when he is allowed to throw a huge elbow into your ribcage.

Once the defender jumps to block the shot, pretty much anything goes or it's a foul on the defender...

Boggsie clearly doesn't know what he's talking about, especially with the two shots comment.

inside the circle only applies to taking a charge - you can't take one inside the dotted circle - however, you can still have an offensive foul called if you hook a guy on the ground or you use an arm/leg to move a defender away..

just because Zo jumped up doesn't mean an offensive foul can't be called, and his feet don't have to planted - those of you saying it's an offensive foul aren't saying it's charging, or a player control foul, they are talking about his other arm

I"m a high school basketball official, and while some of the rules in the NBA are different, and you don't normally see guys up in the air that long in HS, I've seen a few plays of that nature that have been called an offensive foul, but I probably wouldn't have called it in this case.

Carter, btw, is still a great player - Zo is still a very good defender, even though he's lost a step or two.

i didn't see it in this thread but the Nets got cheated last night. WTF were the officials doing, either call the foul both ways, send vince and wade to the line or don't call them both ways.

even ZO implied that he might have fouled Vince.

sucks when officials decide games.

wrong, what kobe did to dwight howard or what t-mac did to shawn bradley was much much worse.

Wrong, what MJ did to Mutumbo during their prime is even better (or to Pat Ewing).

i honestly think this Vince dunk ranks up there. it doesn't look real....he makes it look like it's an 8 foot rim.

 

[spanky]

yeah, the hang time is impressive... remind me of myself.

 

[spanky]

oh... anyone remember baron davis' one handed tomahawkon j o'neal a few years back? oh that was a good one.

kinda small but.... click me

Definitely a good idea to get out of Jordan's way.
