Failed Bridge 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2007 The deepest draft in a few years and its the one draft Danny Ainge isn't stock-piling picks for. Trade Sebastian Telfair already and when Wally comes back from injury long enough to play 3 in a row you trade him too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2007 The Celtics don't need another rookie who needs 3 years to adjust to the pro game the team needs a vet who can lead take them to the playoffs. Too bad they are going to fire the coach for the losing record when they should be blaming the GM for the crazy brain typing schemes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunk contest participants Nate Robinson, NY Gerald Green, BOS Dwight Howard, ORL Tyrus Thomas, CHI No Ryan Hollins or James White can kiss my ass. Why the fuck isn't James White in this? His stuff in the college dunk last year was ridiculous. Hell, the only reason he's in the league is because he can jump out of the gym. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2007 Oh please. Jason Richardson is the greatest slam dunker in NBA history. Now....besides his years..... I can't remember any dunk that Richardson did. That's not to say that he isn't a great dunker but I don't remember anything memorable that he has done. Nothing interesting has happened in the contest since the late 80s (except maybe the year Vince Carter won it). The new guys may be more athletic and creative, but they are just doing extensions of things we've been seeing over and over again for the last twenty years. I say just bury the thing instead of running out a pale imitation every year. I mean does anyone give two shits about the dunk contest anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2007 I like how everyone is like "Damn the dunk contest sucks. Piece of shit waste of time. blah blah blah blah." then you watch it anyway. So for one of Nate's dunks, a Knick will be making a pass. I like the choice he makes. Probably not the Knick you'd expect, but he's nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bulls should call up Memphis and see if they'll take PJ Brown's contract, Tyrus Thomas and a future draft pick for Pau Gasol. He just sounds like the wrong guy for that Chicago team, especially with Skiles as coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2007 I had a notion that getting Webber would help the Pistons, but wow. They just dismantled the Lakers last night... thats good to see after that malaise the Pistons were on before this little run they've put together. I was listening to a podcast of Jim Rome when he had Tex Winter on and Tex's criticism of Kobe is that he is still trying to play the game his own way, trying to force things and not letting the game come to him, and I agree with that.... Kobe has way too much talent to get stuck in this kind of rut... its agreed that he needs better players around him, but trying to force the game one way or another is only going to lead to frustration for him, the Lakers and their fans. Not that it hasn;t already... Melo should have been kept out of the All-Star game for his pussy act that got him suspended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2007 Kobes problem right now isthat he is trying to put together all these great late game performances. He keeps coming into 4th quarters having taken 3 shots and then tries to take over in the end of the game. He needs to keep it going like he did in the very start of the season. I think Luke Walton missing is hurting him though. THat guy stuck to the fucking triangle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
