I applaud your sense of justice. If we can't have fairness in nerdy basketball message board polls, life isn't worth living.

Anybody here ever pass a really hot fart that caught you completely by surprise.

I've been bumping Big Boi's album nonstop for the last week.

Freedom to chose, grades A through I are available for selection.

why do we keep grading him every 2 weeks?

Why don't we just grade EG every darned day til the season starts?

TODAY, since I have stopped eating meat the past few days, I feel great, and I am happy with the universe for now, I GIVE EG AN "A".

(Do NOT ask me in 3 hours--grade could be F when I'm starving,)

I don't miss meat at all, I haven't eaten it in probably 20 years. Good Luck CCJ.

I've been eating plum tomatoes and those mini corn stalk thingies for snacks - not missing Snickers bars at all. ...but now that you mention it... chocolate caramel chewy goodness... nah, I'll stick with the veggies. Are tomatoes considered veggies or fruits? Raw okra - looks awful but not a bad snack.

Thanks, closq.

This board is taking on surreal dimensions for me today. Okra? ...

Last night I got really hungry due to the new and improved diet lacking 2000 or so calories from what I usually eat, that I put some frozen okra in the microwave and ate it. Not bad at all. At first I ate just the okra, but the last part I put salsa on it. Really good with the salsa.

And Ruz, as much as I'm also down with Snickers, right now for lunch I'm having a veggie platter and munching on celery sticks, carrots, and broccoli. Not missing the nougut or the light, fluffy, chocolate caramel chewy goodness.

Weirder than you bringing up my second guilty pleasure, Ruz, somebody in the other thread said going from Carmelo to Prince is like going from filet mignon to chuck steak. Lord knows I've had a thing for medium rare ribeye .... But I'm not even missing that for now.

I wonder what EG eats? That could be the next poll question. Grade EGs diet.

(Until August, CCJ's diet has been Charles Barkley/Albert Haynesworth/Dejuan Blair-esque. Those guys, I know exactly what they love to eat!)

Next poll question? Which diet should Ted & Ernie go on, Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers?

They should take their talents to the South BEach Diet.

Hands, you are king of the junk-thread hands-down Thanks, I'll be here all week, tell your friends.

Team president Larry Bird approached Hibbert last spring with the option of working with Bill Walton, Kevin McHale or Bill Russell, all Hall of Fame big men.

"He said it would probably be one of those three guys. I just had to give him my summer schedule so he could set it up with one of them," Hibbert said. "Who wouldn't want to work with those guys?"

What has Ernie Grunfeld done since he's been here to improve the development of our bigs? Is Ernie emailing JaVale to offer suggestions for his next YouTube posting perhaps?

Grade D for player development

Sorry Rico, it's been a while

You gotta grade him on a curve though, closg. Walton, McHale and Russell are all Bird's "brothers" in the Celtics fraternity. It's safe to say Ernie doesn't have those relationships. Maybe Pat Ewing from his NY days, but I don't think Ernie left NY under good circumstances. The list of Bullet/Wizard bigs we'd want working with Blatche and McGee is pretty short.

Not saying I wouldn't want Kareem or Rik Smits or whomever here workign with our guys, but I'm also not convinced they're any better than coaches who were'nt hall of fame players.
