Re the previous article, I too agree we should keep Perk all things considered. Wouldn't that 10 & 8 from his Boston days be sweet? Fisher on the other hand,,, I swear if he's on our team next year w/Brooks giving him 20+ minutes per, I couldn't take it. I'd like to amnesty Brooks.
RJ's got some unusually impressive traps considering the rest of his upper body physique. Just an observation.
Slopfest of a game. I find myself not living & dying as much w/each possession as previously cause of Russ' abscence. We'd get embarrassed against Miami sans Russ if we somehow got to the finals so I don't much care if we lose this series. All the Russ critics can once & for all shut their damn mouths cause we ain't even close to the team we were.
Judging by how the rest of the west has looked in the playoffs, it would have been damn near a cakewalk for us to get to the finals if Russ were still around.
Tonight may have been, no check that, for sure was, the 1st time in Fish's tenure w/us that I was pleased to see him out there when it mattered. Nick also played as good s game as I can remember from him.
Ibaka is becoming a great, allstar caliber player. I look forward to him being forced into a greater offensive role during this years playoff run which will undoubtedly help us next year when we've got an actual shot at the chip. I just wish we could get it to him on the block on occasion, he can do things from there.
If Royce is considered 'right' on this subject, it's about 6-months after the trade. Some (me) were calling for Serge over harden 2+years ago.
Harden is the floppiest flopper I've ever seen. I'm glad we ditched him. Same goes for kmart this offseason. I want guys who play like men not little European soccer b*tches.
Right on. I finally had enough of the isolation, lack of females, cold & rain & had to get out.
I lived in Juneau for about 8 yrs, where you at?
Ill take us in 6 in a series w/the clips. They've got no viable defender for KD. Would love for Russ to thoroughly dominate cp3, which is totally possible, to drive a stake through the cp3 is the best PG in the league narrative.
Wow, Smart staying @ Ostate. If Nash & Markelle do too, that's a championship contender there. Would love to get Smart on okc eventually.
I don't know how anyone can post & respond in realtime anymore. I'm seeing posts from what looks like 2-hours ago at the top of the list & have yet to see my post from an hour ago. I post & read on my phone usually, is that the issue (not that I'll see any of yourall's responses)? Ef it, my commenting days are over. Health & happiness to you all.
Semipro-type lineup thrown out there by ATL tonight. It's a shame that important matters like home court advantage can be decided by teams in rest or lottery tank mode.
@Bryson Yes, too young to see Wilt against 6-8 white guys though.
Re the previous article about our Toronto draft pick, Royce wrote picks 5 & 6 can't happen but I dont undestand why. This whole ping pong ball thing's gotme confused. I say trade our Dallas, our 1st &our 2nd to move up a few spots to get Smart assuming the percentages play out.
@Bryson @AlexR44 I like Africans if we're going the foreign center route so Dieng would be my choice. Y'all are nuts though if you think he'll be there @ our 28 pick given his serge-esque shotblocking abilities & fairly competent offensive game. Read something recently though that we were one of two NBA teams that had scouts at a recent Gobert game so maybe we're leaning that way.
Maybe it's recency talking but I would not mind either Dieng or Russ Smith on okc if we keep our #9ish Toronto pick. Dieng can pass, rebound, hit jumpers, & defend the rim like a sumbitch. Only reservations are If he can defend NBA 5's & he's already 23. Smith can get to the rack anytime he wants & can shoot from deep. He's a 6-nothing sg which ain't promising but that kind of scoring ability should translate.
No thanks on Zeller for us. Dude needs to go against 6'-8" white forwards to be effective.
This IU/Syracuse is some ugly, sloppy bball. The tourney is still fun cause of the bracket pools but overall, the college game sucks thanks to the early departures.
