Trolliver: The Anthony Tolliver Thread

[Eoghan]

Fuuug what is Cho doing? You can kiss our 1st round pick goodbye now, we're practically contenders with the A-train coming in the station.

[fatlever]

so we can all agree al swearengen is one of the top 10 greatest tv characters of all-time?

kudos to whoever did the edit job on this video. great work. my favorite deadwood episode condensed to a few minutes.

Swearengen is the best "bad" guy in television history imo, I know it's a big call but the reality is that his character had so much depth, especially for a show that only went three seasons.

The brawl between Swearengen and Bullock to start the second season was powerful viewing imo and the mutual respect between them reeks authenticity.

The hard guys generally respect the hard guys.

in honor of the A-Train, my favorite version of "Take the 'A' Train" by George Benson

i am partial to the duke on that one, myself.

and yes, loved deadwood. i even watched the followup series by the same guy, John From Cincinnati. i watched all the episodes. it was a truly weird show, and i liked it. it also got cut short. only got one season.

[HornetJail]

Well it was good having ya Rocky.



It's a one-year min deal, I'm okay with this. I guess his ability to play the 3 was a selling point.

[ohara]

I like him more than I liked Mullens.

At least Tolly is willing to get a little dirty.

Agreed. Cho is doing his job well.

[countryboi]

He is a bum but he is a NBA quality bum. I like the signing for cheap but i wish we would have signed someone bigger

[doc.end]

Wooohoooo, I am bit late to the party, but I like tžhi signing. I like his personality, he even embraced the timbertrolls movement and his decison arft deux will always be bonus points. I always kind of wanted him on our team. Welcome, Trollcat. Enjoy your holiday on Hispaniola.

Is it just me or he kinda looks like younger bulked up Maxi Jazz?

[Snidely FC]

Dude's got a head like a battering ram.

Like who exactly? There is no one left among bigs worth much. Johan Petro can eat up some playing time, but thats not exactly a skill. Cole Aldrich has played 89 games in 3 seasons...and hes been healthy.

Not to mention I can't see Jeff Adrien making this team with Tolliver aboard. I'm convinced the Bobcats are still going to make a move or two.

I would have rather had a bigger hungry d leaguer but like i said tolliver is cheap so its all good

you can't get hungrier than Sean May, but I think Tolliver has the work ethic to be a great end of bench guy.

[BobsBuddy]

I would not be surprised if 15th spot on roster went to PEW JR?
I guess its better than Higgins. Hope he gets a chance..

[chrbal]

I could them signing PEW JR. As far as "hungry D-leaguer" or Tolliver. Well, yeah you'd rather have a young guy fighting to move up but...
Jeff Adrien 27 years old, Anthony Tolliver 28 years old. All i really was saying, now that Tolliver is signed...Adriens pretty much out of job in Charlotte.

I have already said more than once I was ok with the signing dude is a retread...if we getting the point we are retreading bums we may as well go for a guy thats trying to make it. It's a dead issue anyway

AT is undoubtedly a character. LOL the little kid in the red shirt.

[BigSlam]

I would have taken James Johnson over Tolliver (assuming the contracts were the same)

Big time agree with Slam on this. Johnson is a better player than Tolls...period.
