9 steals.
Franchise record.
4 games into his NBA career.
Just sayin'.

8 ppg, 6 apg, 4 rpg, 3.75 spg after four game. He is a beast, even when his jumper is off.

Point guard and Powerfoward posistion locked up for the next 10 years...Yessir.

What about SG? Your right, we should trade Wade, while his stock is high. I remmber sitting with acouple of friends and saying, Whats wrong with Chalmers, i remmber him being great. My Friends says," Maybe he has a injury or something", Then i leave the kids house and acouple frineds call me, saying we got Chalmers. They guy is a steal, Way to go Riley. Chalmers/Wade Combo is perfect. Chalmers can dribble and get us into our sets, has a good shot,great D. Banks,Blount,Marion should be traded.

The team really struck gold in the draft. Chalmer's knack for steals is quite amazing for a rook. He's probably the league leader after tonight's thief brigade and will probably finish top ten in the entire league when the season's over with. Beasley is averaging 20 pts and over 7 rebs on 50% shooting his last three games... and he isn't even 20 years old yet. You can just tell this kid is destined to get 20/10 with his eyes closed.

4 games in and look @ our Rookies.

Beasley- 6"8 19yr old
17pts 6.5rbs 2 t.o 1blk 45%fg

Lets me start off by saying his 19yrs old! He will get stronger and bigger, which is scary. PF! PF!

Chalmers 6"1 22yr old
8pts 6asst 3.8rbs 4stls 2t.o

Chalmers has been the differnce. 1 month ago, we were all asking for a PG, now were asking to get rid of a P(Banks,Quinn) because we have our now and our future PG. Wade/Chalmers Backcourt for the Win

Heck, look at the current "C":

17.7 PPG
7.7 RPG
70.6 FG%

Beastish.

I remember during Wade's rookie year, people were saying, 'we got PG locked up for 10 years,' but I kept telling everybody that he was going to eventually be a shooting guard. And no one believed me. I felt like Dwyane Wade at the time cause of the doubt.

Edit: This comment is in reference to the PF position being locked up.

I am very happy to see Mario being such an intangibly sound player. I'd obviously like his points per game to get a bit more consistently into the double figures area, but I am extremely satisfied with him and his development...

I don't think Chalmers is going be much of a scorer. I could see a career of 10-12ppg. What we are going to see is defense with some solid 3pt FG, rebounding and assists. I can see a few triple doubles in his future if he can remain a starter in this league.

^a slong as he isn't a liabilty on the off end, which he isn't and he continues to give us nights like last night, he's going to be a gold for us going forward.

PG - check
SG - check
SF - lol
PF- check
C - Haslem -check?

That list looks about right.. except Beasley should be #1 or #2 (Rose)

I dont know, Fernandez's numbers are really solid when you consider his mins.

It seems the listings are all done by numbers, I believe the FIC or whatever it is

Super Mario.....good name.

some threads should not be brought back to life

I'm laughing so hard right now

ahhhh time tells a lot of things

LMAO

bumped a thread last discussed 7 years ago?

I discovered it a couple weeks ago (just before the Cleveland game) and thought, "Hmmm... this sagely precognition should see the light again."
