Pre Game Analysis:




Brandon Roy Feature :
A note for high school players, stay 4 years in collage and you might turn into the next Brandon Roy, a note for lottery teams, draft the best player available and you might get the next Brandon Roy, bottom line i like the kid even tho hes getting a bit overrated on realgm, and yes i think hes better than Kevin martin.


My Take On The Portland Trail Blazers:
oden,roy,aldridge, this team has bright future, hopefully we can become a future rivalry.


The Ernie Johnson Stat:
The Portland Trail Blazers are perimeter oriented team, but ironically their not great outside shooting team, so lets try to keep them outside the paint.


Preview:

A familiar face will be missing from Sacramento's lineup when it takes the court to start the second half of the season.

The rebuilding Kings begin adjusting to life without Mike Bibby on Tuesday night when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers in the first game since the All-Star break for both teams.

The Kings (23-28) traded Bibby to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday for point guards Anthony Johnson and Tyronn Lue, 2006 first-round pick Shelden Williams, veteran forward Lorenzen Wright and a 2008 second-round pick. Bibby, a 10-year veteran that missed the start of the season with a thumb injury, is averaging 13.5 points and 5.0 assists in 15 games.

blazers fan here, good luck to u guys. may the best team win.
and, whoever made the game thread is amazing. its the best game thread i have ever seen on realgm.

[PatrickJNYC]

Shelden Williams isn't going to play right ?

[RoyalCourtJestr]

Oh boo. I wanted to see Shelden tonight.

[RIPskaterdude]

Well, if Brad "mysteriously" misses the game tonight, then we know he's heading to the Magic...

[Ballings7]

Kings win

Still not into Roy because he supposedly can't shoot, a-rod? Or do you just not like his shooting enough?

Roy's quite a player, regardless of his shooting. Which I don't see as a weakness or strength yet, but can and will get better there. I just love his game.

Shelden Williams isn't going to play right ?

Source?

[Smills91]

Shelden IS playing tonight per sacbee.com

[Milkdud]

First off great thread, any update on if Miller is playing?


Oh and good luck!

[RIPskaterdude]

Oh and good luck!

Unless Orlando says YES to the trade before game time, then yes, he is.

[gsuteke]

Wow. That's the most work I've ever seen on a thread.


And that's saying something if you've seen mine on the Hawks board.

[southnc]

One of the best threads I've ever seen - well done!

Although my graphics card is sure huffing and puffing!

Best of luck to both teams.

nothing change, i still rather have the next kobe over the next lebron, i still rather have the late career fundamentally sound Jordan, over the early career athletic Jordan.

reasons:
1.Half court execution is meaningless without a jump shoot.
2.i like players who can score from anywhere ala (martin,kobe).
3.Zone defense.<<< self explanatory
4.players like wade, roy have a huge gap between their shooting skills and their other skills.

the key word here i rather have, i never said their not good. players.

[SactownHrtBrks8]

I am ready to see the Landlord! The Defense looks better so far without Bibby BTW

[AnDrOiDKing4]

was that beetle juice or our backup point guard ?

[SactownHrtBrks8]

Hawes is playing great

[RIPskaterdude]

Those with LP, BIBBY is playing and STARTING tonight for the Hawks...

Game just started!

(Kings game is kinda boring me right now )

[Cruel_Ruin]

[RIPskaterdude]

[RIPskaterdude]
