+1!!!

Thank you Pooka. That is why I prefaced my example with "it's an extreme example". My hope was that people would understand that I wasn't necessarily putting Amir in the same category as...

Man! I rarely post on here, but I'm sick of people hating on Amir. If Amir left, of course it would make an impact on the Raptors rebuild... How could it not? It makes an impact each game when he...

I'd have to say a young Ray Allen...

Soft jumper, okay handles (not the greatest, but decent enough), solid D, great athleticism (1997 Dunk competition). We have to teach Ross to run all game non...

I see Ross more as a young Ray Allen. Sweet stroke, great hops, not the greatest handle. We have to teach him to run around all game coming off screens.

some mediocre players on crap teams put up some nice numbers--should they get paid more than a really good player on a contending team? Contenders typically have several good players with lowered...

unless you include the expansion draft... in that case, mighty mouse would not be their first pick. It would be some journeyman from another team.

Just watching the highlights alone, Walker reminds me of a shorter D-Wade--the way he gets to the basket. Once he gets a shoulder past you, see ya. He also uses an array of step-backs and uses his...

I can't remember where I read/heard this... but I remember Oak saying that management screwed up the tmac situation. They low-balled him big-time during negotiations. So one, he felt...

they clearly will only play mainstream... who was more mainstream than LL in the 90's? Plus, LL doesn't use foul language in his lyrics...

Mama said knock you out......

I don't doubt that DD will one day be considered the Raptors' franchise player. However, to claim that DD will be better than Carter in his prime is a VERY bold statement. In his prime, Carter was...

Just sayin' that KG wouldn't have been the same player if they forced him to go that route.

Garnett grew slightly from 6-11 to ``6-11 and three-quarters,'' as Garnett puts it. The second-year star does not want to be listed at 7 feet, although he might already be there. ``Kevin thinks if...

It's very difficult to look at Bargs now and ask what if...? It's not tangible and pure theory. Yeah you can bring up Milicic and Radmanovic, but cmon. Have you heard those guys talk? They have...

I was watching some videos from Bargnani's rookie season and summer league... I must say, back then, Bargnani was a lot more mobile, quick, spring in his step and had a higher vertical.

I'm...

We also have to consider, that as a perennial bench player, his coaches have always asked him to come out and provide energy. If he held back, his coaches would yank him because he was not playing...

They're obviously just screwing around. Why would they play hard and risk injury against some scrubs? They could just dunk the ball everytime down the court if they so pleased.

I would rather keep Banks as our 2nd/3rd PG. Yeah he's overpaid, but he's an expiring.

On top of that, the guy is always ready to play, and easily our best defender at the PG position. For a guy...

There were definitely games post ankle injury where Bosh DID NOT play hard. I remember being confused while watching one game why Bosh kept catching the ball on the elbow and jacking it up. Yeah,...

I read on RealGM that the Pacers are shopping Dunleavy & Ford.

Dunleavy could be that play-making small forward we need... he's kinda like Hedo lite--but tries a lot harder and is younger (defence...

Before the last Olympics, Jerry Colangelo took Triano in to coach the US Select team. This team practices against the the Olympic team, fills-in when there's an injury, and they are being groomed to...

nothing wrong with trotting out 2 PF's at the same time... as long as 1 of them can hold their own on defence and gobble up rebounds (even better if both can do it).

think: antonio davis and...

It was an additional 6 GAMES!! So that would amount to more than 6 days when you account for the off-days in between games. Right in the middle of a playoff hunt as well (fighting for the 4th/5th...

i loved watching those piston teams play... especially in the finals against the spurs. many people find it boring, but to be honest, it was great, technical, fundamentally sound basketball. I...

maybe it was the coach's wishes/instructions, but it drove me crazy watching Bargs set a pick, then pop out to the 3pt line every single frickin time instead of rolling to the rim... ROLL BARGS,...

I agree to some degree. Derozan has more potential offensively (skilled moves i.e. step-backs, spins, etc) but Weems is by far the superior defensive talent. Weems has the ability to guard three...
