I am anxious to see this kid enter his own... in about another 4-5 years, I predict.
yeah....but where will he be playing? :shock:

Last nights win against Memphis makes two wins that I know of for the Raptors this year that have been great inter-conference road wins. The other was Utah..... :evil:
ya ... coach casey has done a great job of changing the culture and ideally all the fans want is to see the team compete night in night out and they have done that ... they've been blown out only a handful of times considering the considerable lack of talent on this team ... but they have exceeded expectations and combined that with a very shit eastern conference, they are winning way too many games ... a top 5 lottery pick plus the arrival of valanciunas next year should allow this team to compete sooner than expected ...

the funny thing is - to me, it appears that coach casey IS trying to lose games by using some weird rotations in the 4th qtr but to a man, everyone is playing balls to the wall ... so, they end up winning games they have no business in winning ...
somebody at the bulls game sat night had a shirt that read
Lebron went south, his mom rode west. or something to that effect. dude was sitting behind king and funk for the post game wrap up. looked like a wgn producer came over and tossed them.

No way they take cousins. it's gonna be favors or turner. I'm cool with either one
see i agreed with you back then and still do. turner, as a guard, is a better rebounder than favors. cousins already got his coach fired and epitomizes everything i dislike about the nba.
even with the awful first outing and saturday's game, et's averaging 15, 10 and 3 as a starter for a playoff contender. there is nothing horrendous about that. he's entering his own now, as opposed to in 4 or 5 years as dc eluded to regarding favors
that said, i have seen some rumors of a deal involving holiday for favors. utah needs a pg, we could use another big body. could see something like this happening. gonna be an interesting offseason.

this belongs in the lebron sucks thread
i thought it was kind of dumb considering they had just played philly....
btw...at the begining of the lebron thread...you professed your love for him....what changed

I said I would not take a 2 guard with the 2nd pick. this team needs a big guy and there were two of them available.
the rebounding thing is funny. your guards have to board when your frontcourt sucks balls.
turner is a bust as the 2nd overall pick. solid player, but not a guy you take that high in draft

very stupid. i didnt love lebron, just said he'd look good in a bulls uniform.
it's great he can rebound. no one else on team can
again, he's a solid player. not worthy of the 2nd pick though.
since you have so much free time to research all of my posts, go back and find who I said I wanted the sixers to take.
such a shit franchise. can't wait for another first round playoff exit. the endless cycle of mediocrity continues
you realize the search function is a pretty easy tool to use, right?
and the quote i posted above already answered that. i mean unless you changed your mind multiple times back then too.
good talk.
do you think turner was a good pick?
of course i do (isn't that obvious?). and i agreed with you about being okay with him or favors at the time. turner's a bit further along than favors at this point. and i'm encouraged by what he's done over the last couple weeks as a starter. favors, last couple games not included, has been struggling for playing time still.
considering where the sixers franchise was at the time, i think they needed to take the guy who most considered to the be 2nd best player in the draft---yada yada yada, same stuff i've been saying for the last year and a half

Favors would be a nice pick-up for so many teams, but I really hope that the Jazz don't deal him that easily. The pg point is an interesting one because I can't figure out how I feel about it. Earlier in the season, Devin was struggling, but as of late he seems to be picking up some pace and finding his spot. I don't think Harris needs to be a dominant player, he just needs to be productive and reliable. I was happy to see KOC not make any major moves before the trade deadline. Personally, I like Utah's roster as it stands. They play very well together when they're on, and with all the youth and talent with high ceilings, it can really only get better. There is a real team atmosphere in Utah, and players have been improving (Al, Favors, Hayward have all shown developments) I think that will go a long way.

Is Kobe washed up? Has he lost his killer instict? Did he even ever actually have it or did he need a big man to save his ass? Oh sorry...wrong basketball player to make these jokes about.

sounds familiar. too nice up and coming teams...one with a guard to spare....one with an extra big man to spare..... :think:

should be a pretty deep draft this summer
still ... the higher up the better ...
the funny thing is - to me, it appears that coach casey IS trying to lose games by using some weird rotations in the 4th qtr but to a man, everyone is playing balls to the wall ... so, they end up winning games they have no business in winning ...
yeah, sixers took evan turner over him and cousins.
horrendous

no. you said you were "cool" with turner as the 2nd pick. you literally said that.
i love how you casually brush off a guard averaging 10 boards a game like that happens frequently.
a bust....that is a bit harsh to say the least.
it's great he can rebound. no one else on team can
again, he's a solid player. not worthy of the 2nd pick though.

but if i had the number 2 pick, i would have taken jeremy lin.

obviously.
