this. I've never seen anybody play like that. guy was just inhuman.

good first pick but they too could have had jordan.

jordan was spectacular. more consistent that hakeem. BUT, when olajuwon was on, it was the most ridiculous display of awesomeness I've ever seen on a court. the way he'd just shoot from random spots and make it in over and over, not to mention his ability to shake off really good defense...and he wasn't a showboater. he'd pass the ball off to someone more in position to make a great shot in a heartbeat. guy played with so much heart. the rockets from that era ALL did, though. they played like a well-oiled machine when they were on.

If Jordan had been their pick, I doubt the rest of the team would have shined like they did.

you got a point, the clippers are kings of the lottery flops.

also, Brandon Roy was picked 7th....and let's be real about this, as great as Kevin Durant is...Brandon Roy shits on him, and they essentially play the same position

steve · by steve on Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:52 pm

not really brandon roy has had a better team. kevin durant also has put up bigger numbers and made more of an immediate impact for his team. if they played one on one i would take durant.

elpizzysofresh · by elpizzysofresh on Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:53 pm

he's got more numbers cos his team sucks balls

steve · by steve on Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:03 pm

i already pretty much stated that and up till last year portland sucked balls. portland has had one season over 500 since 2003 - 2004 and two that were and even 41-41, but since lamarcus aldridge and roy showed up in 2006 they have greatly improved.

elpizzysofresh · by elpizzysofresh on Fri Oct 30, 2009 4:26 pm

I would take Roy 1v1 over Durant any day

Coach · by Coach on Thu Nov 05, 2009 2:39 pm

rockets v lakers last night was an excellent game. 102-103 Lakers in OT. :mad:

olajuwon was in the house, we led the whole game, chuck hayes beastin, the artest-ariza three trade off in the last few seconds was awesome.

I also found out that kobe bryant hooked up with the dream this past off season to work on his post moves and fade away. Ballin.

Soccer Mom · by Soccer Mom on Fri Nov 06, 2009 6:49 pm

Spurs and Portland tonight at 9:30. It should be a good one.

DJ Cal Cutta · by DJ Cal Cutta on Fri Nov 06, 2009 8:31 pm

Yep I'm all over that...

steve · by steve on Fri Nov 06, 2009 10:54 pm

so far that game is super sloppy and super boring.

DJ Cal Cutta · by DJ Cal Cutta on Sat Nov 07, 2009 8:44 am

I'll take an ugly W as long as it's a W, plus I liked what Nate McMillan was trying to do in that game, he was trying to find Andre Miller a place.

Coach · by Coach on Sat Nov 07, 2009 10:41 am

andre miller's shooting percentage is terrible. he should just stick to what he is good at, finding open shots for other people that can make them.

bAnGALoRE · by bAnGALoRE on Mon Nov 09, 2009 7:42 pm

gonna be watching the spurs vs raptors at 7:30 tonight.

the spurs can def be boring but when they are good, man they are entertaining.

i went to that game in austin before the season started. it reminded me that watching b ball games on tv is way different. makes outsiders say they are faking this and that and it looks set up and the outcome is preplanned etc, but go see a game live and its a big difference. you can totally see how its a real competitive game. glad i went and was reminded of that.

i have done that before and btw there is no delete option...derp...but you can edit your post to something that works, that's what i do.
