Game Thread: Special Edition: Rookies vs. Sophomores

[Yoshi2kx]

aren't the Pacers one of the few teams in the NBA "Stuck in the middle"?

I'd be surprised if they had a rookie represent them next year as well, because the East sucks so much they might just make the playoffs unless they have a major melt down like last year lulz

[Troy McClure]

Go Durant! Go Green!

I hope this isn't another blow out, like every year.

[wiff]

Durant has looked good (especially his passing of course all he can do is score ) so has Sean Williams and Al Horford for the rookies.

Boobie Gison is going off from 3 land. So far a pretty entertaining game.

[D5150]

yeah, i think kd is trying (maybe too hard?) to show he is more than a one dimensional scorer. suck it barkley!

[wiff]

I think it's safe to say Sir Charles doesn't think much of Durant's game.

Apparently everyone else on the floor has talent. But not Durant

[Relientk101]

everyone is a Durant hater for some reason...the idiot Peter Vecsey isn't impressed with him at all (NBA T.V.)

oh well, we will be getting the last laugh in 3 years.

[chad42]

its funny, hes what 19? putting up 20pts a game, i was getting pretty annoyed with the broadcast, I even think chuck picked Yi over durant

[Yoshi2kx]

lol vecsi isn't he the guy that compared Allen/Lewis/Durant to David Robinson and Tim Duncan?

Look wiff, Barkley saying something like this can only be a positive for our and Durant's future, cause he rarely knows what he's talking about.

For example:
He's also the guy that told everyone who wanted to know(and everyone who didn't for that matter) that the Golden State Warriors had no chance in hell beating the Dallas Mavericks in last years playoffs. He also had us winning the northwest division last season, when he was asked about that before the season started.

So just let Krispy Creme talk his stuff and let him eat his words in the years to come.

[AbdicatedReign]

Yeah, I'm trying to understand the source of all the hatred for Durant. I suppose because we watch the kid play every game and we understand the situation he's been put in, that we're more forgiving but, still.

[OzThunder]

yeh me and my mates where laughing our arses off at chuck. First he says he doesn't understand Barngarni, why would you want a 7 footer taking your outside shots? Then he went on to say that he would want Yi to be his top 3 franchise player. Ummm...what does Yi do? take outside shots.

All of this while durant went out and got 23-8-4 (including a few nice dimes inside)

That Al Horford is a damn solid player though isn't he.

And i think the Sean Williams coast to coast of glass alley-oop could be the play of the weekend.
That was sooooo sick

[wiff]

Sean Williams is nice. And that was one heck of a play ground play. That guy can seriously jump.

I loved how Barkely says Durant is shooting 30% on national TV.

Are you kidding? Then Ernie corrected him and said he's shooting 40%

So I decided to take a look at Durant fg% minus the 3pt shots that are included.

He's actually shooting 43% inside the 3pt line.

LeBron's rookie year he shot 44%

Carmelo's rookie year he shot 44%

Yeah those other two guys suck too.

[D5150]

you know what? i am kind of glad kd is not getting much national love. i mean the love affair the press has with some players makes me want to puke. i hate superstar entitlements, jock sniffers, bandwagon jumpers, front runners, and hipocrites. let kevin just fly under the radar. his game will speak for itself.
