Posted Tuesday June 26, 2007, About: Celtics switch sights to O'Neal
Boston fans,
WHAT DO YOU WANT?...No trade is good enough; you all actually think Pierce isn't that good, yet you want good value for him, and you way overrate your talent that's gotten you total irrelevance and no one wanting to come to Boston. Seriously, what do you want to have happen?
Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: Cavs covet Spurs point guard
This is a microcosm of the east and west: the east wants the world champions' 3rd string point guard who lost his job to Jacque Vaughn.
Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: Whispers of Pistons guard to Bucks
MarianoIsDaMan,
That would be a tough backcourt, plus, again, the Cavs are the worst Finals participant of all time! Any east team more interested in the 'future' falls way behind. A move any east team makes right now can absolutely bomb, and they may not be in any worse shape by the time the east comes back to power...if that happens again. And if Brewer falls to Milwaukee at 6, you're looking at Billups, Redd, Brewer, Villanueva and Bogut...not the greatest team in the world, but that team would be able to score...something the east lacks.
Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: Hawks to take Chinese center at 3
Draft Horford with the 3. Shelden Williams is a backup, and Marvin Williams does nothing well enough to establish himself as a wing, post or inside/out threat. Horford would solidify the 4 spot making the Williams' boys expendable. Plus, it's pretty obvious Horford can come in and play right away. The Hawks need no mysteries like Jianlian. Plus, the Hawks can still get their point guard at 11...Conley's status rises and falls daily, and Acie Law can play right away. Conley/Law, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Horford and Zaza Pachuila. I know...Pachuila?...hell, he even averaged 12 and 7 this year, and we witnessed the worse NBA finalist in Cleveland. Every eastern team should have an intelligent, aggressive win now attitude. Drafting Jianlian puts you further behind waiting for him to develop.....in an awful east!
Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: Cavs' Gooden could join Bulls
For the 24 people that watched the NBA Finals, Gooden was repeatedly pointed out for mental breakdowns. Add the bad shots and bad fouls, and the negatives far outweigh the positives. Plus, considering Cleveland let Boozer get away, the better Boozer becomes, the worse Gooden looks. As bad as Varejao is, I think he's more reliable than Gooden...and that's not saying much!
Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: How Cavs can help LeBron
Has anyone checked Earl Boykins' height? And did Cleveland see what they did to a smaller Detroit backcourt? And did Cleveland see what took place in their own division when Detroit's backcourt hammered the smaller Chicago backcourt? And the one thing about basketball...if you don't care, you can look really bad. It was Bibby who killed Nash when Sacramento fell short those years against LA. It was Bibby who was the money man for Sacramento those years...not Webber or Peja! All of a sudden, Sacramento is bad, and so is he. It's not what you like to see out of an athlete, Bibby returns close to his winning form in Sacramento is traded to a contender. His game is not based in athleticism...it's based on skill. He would be a major component for Cleveland in the east. Is the goal to balance a budget or win? And by the way, those extra playoff games would help to offset the price tag of Bibby.
Posted Friday June 15, 2007, About: Lakers hold up O'Neal deal
So, if the Lakers are hamstrung by bad contracts and only able to make this major deal happen, seemingly, what do you want them to do? KG's not coming to LA; Chauncey and Bibby look like they're too expensive; what's offered doesn't fit with what the Blazers are looking to do in terms of Zach Randolph. On the other hand, the 7th seed and a 1st round knock out doesn't seem acceptible. What, exactly, do you want them to do? Clearly, David Stern has nothing to do with big market fixes. The Spurs are a dynasty, and Oden and Durant will be playing in the Pacific Northwest...you're not just gonna find some dummy.
Posted Friday June 15, 2007, About: LeBron wants to be the next Buffett
IrishR#1,
Before you go there, understand that he's already rebuilt parks and residential complexes in his native Cleveland. So, part of it is about the money. His idiodicy and stupidity has him in the position for that to be a realistic goal, so may we all be so idiotic and stupid.
Posted Friday June 15, 2007, About: Lakers hold up O'Neal deal
Last year, the Lakers lost to Phx in 7 when relatively healthy. This year, they lost in 5 when not so healthy. Though Bynum is young, it was the same team...that lost in the 1st round. Seeing as how Phx lost to Dallas and San Antonio in consecutive playoffs...and how LA can't beat any of these teams, why in the world would you keep what you have? The point is the Lakers are what they are as currently constructed...a lower-tiered seed that'll get bounced in the first round so we have to hear ridiculous notions about how much LeBron did with the Cavs (in the east mind you) and how little Kobe did with his 'teammates'(?) Make the move because coaches aren't silly enough to keep true studs off the floor. Kwame Brown is so bad that Bynum should have that job by now. I don't care how old he is or is not. True studs aren't kept off the floor especially behind Kwame Brown!!!
Posted Thursday June 14, 2007, About: QB almost commits to Auburn
BamaFan334,
Yeah, he must have other interests outside of football...which is great, but the other schools are an odd bunch compared to Auburn...football-wise.
Posted Thursday June 14, 2007, About: Callahan extension 'matter of time'
BamaFan334,
I'm with you on that one. I loved the old days too, but I guess things have to change. That being said, I was disgusted the way Callahan coached against USC, Texas and Auburn last year. He coached like he simply wanted to stay within 17 of USC; those kids had a chance to beat Texas in spite of him, and why in the world would you play like an underdog against an unmotivated Auburn team in the Cotton Bowl? I'd wait to see if he had confidence in his team and his own coaching ability before handing out that extension.
Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Celtics, Sonics trade scenario
Congratulations on your employment, and thank for answering one of my questions. Unfortunately, you called my posts worthless, yet you've contributed nothing on the subject of this trade. As worthless as that is, I will ask you, again, what your thoughts on this trade are.
Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Carlisle leaving Pacers for Sonics?
I respect all of your opinions, but this extremely skilled team will get up limited shots under Carlisle. That stuff won't work out west. I understand what San Antonio does defensively. But, there are a number of things that are different. Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan, Horry and Finley are really good defensively...individually and team-wise. Ridnour and Allen are not, and Durant is a question in that regard. Plus, Popovich will take the reigns off and allow SA to put 100 when needed. Ask Phx is SA can score. Carlisle has not shown that he is even willing to experiement with creating more shots. Unless he coaches to his talent, I anticipate him asking a very skilled offensive team (potentially constructed) to play a defensive, half court game. Since everything is leaning toward being fresh and new within this organization, why not get a fresh, new coach instead of the new re-treads like Carlisle?
Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Scouts split on Hawks' pick
I just don't get not taking a proven, polished player in Horford to draft just potential. I don't think anyone can envision Horford as less than a 13 pts., 6 reb. guy. I'm sorry, that's not bad considering most of the league is litered with stiffs that can't give you 6 and 5.
Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Hot recruit to announce decision
Yet another hot recruit from the northeast. Again, does this mean he's overrated?
Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Top-rated center commits to L'ville
uncfelton91,
Judging by your scrren name and the fact that I'm from Virginia, I think we understand exactly where I'm coming from.

nuggets217,
Wife & 2 kids, buddy. So again, your job status would be what? Other than that, your opinion on this trade scenario would be what?
Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Top-rated center commits to L'ville
Let's see...he's from the Northeast. Does this mean he's overrated?
Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Bulls to trade Duhon, draft PG
Coach,
Do you feel comfortable with drafting another wing player that's not polished or just taking the best available player? Are the Bulls good enough to do that? They still have major issues. Unless, you move Deng to the backcourt, where would Brewer or Thornton play? Depth?...I guess, but that just speaks to yet another guy who plays hard, gives effort/energy that's a streaky shooter at best and is easily neutralized when it counts. If Detroit is still an obstacle, the Cleveland is proving to be worse....big guards and big inside. Cleveland simply needs to address ways to score more consistently. Chicago needs to address its undersized backcourt and its undersized interior. I hope this is just a smoke screen.
Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Carlisle leaving Pacers for Sonics?
No, No, No...Carlisle has to learn how to coach both ends of the floor first. I'm convinced he, Van Gundy and Mike Brown only coach the defensive end and figure the offense will take care of itself.
Posted Wednesday June 13, 2007, About: Bulls to trade Duhon, draft PG
I suppose Chicago wants to stay small, quick and gritty!? I think we see where that will get them. 2 years ago, Arenas killed them (bigger PG); last year they had a decent run against the Heat (Shaq and Wade..a dynamic guard, not that tall, but physical); this year, the Pistons let them come back only to dispose of the Bulls in Chicago (big guards). It is what it is...they're not getting closer to being a contender. The same thing keeps happening. I forgot, the big guards of Jersey dropped Chicago from a 2 seed to a 4 seed and a 2nd round against Detroit. Unless Chicago is drafting for another team, this will just continue a pattern of just not being good enough.
