Dalembert would be like combining the best traits of Joel, Damp, Mags, and Big Z into one player ... without the glaring deficiencies of each.

Can someone with photoshop help me re-size the image in my signature? Feels like the shape is off.

But would Dalembert(or any center not named Zo) suffer from the same thing with our proprietary defensive system?

Re: Random Thoughts X
A thought, Ronda had a terrible game 1, they barely beat the Knicks, Rondo had a great game the other night and they still barely loss to the Knicks.

He definitely doesn't have Z's midrange game. Even though he was drilling midrange j's like it was nothing during the Kings game at AAA, it doesn't mean he's on Z's level with it.
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

heh
(note, no complaints about Joel or Erik right now, but for as much unfair hate as they do get, they also get a ridiculous amount of babying from our television crew)
So anyone who doesn't agree with your view on Joel and Spo are babying? It'd be better if you simply admitted that your hating on them was wrong. I've noticed you've tried to refine your position with some falsities recently . Stick to your views, or admit you were wrong or STFU about them.

Maybe Adelman would consider soaking up some sun on the beach while being a consultant/assistant coach for the Heat.
This is exactly what Riley thought when he signed Joel to 5yr 18million. Joel has these stretchs where you think his turned the corner only to find out his terrible a few games later. I'm happy that Joel is doing good for us but I also know his not defending any Centers or being asked to rebound against anyone.
He's playing well and helping the team to win. Your insistence on his inability against big centers is stupid. We aren't playing big centers and when we do we'll get Damps in. Spo has planned it well considering we have 4 below average Centers.

Re: Random Thoughts X
I advise you guys to be careful on GB, apparently the other mods(I'm guessing Bulls Mods) want my head. Got suspended for 3 days for baiting(HMFFL said it should have been 7 but he spoke to them).Although it looks like Bulls fans and others can bait Heat fans ("empty crowd etc)all they want without any repercussion.
Probably won't be on GB as much until playoffs is over.

Why do you feel the need to post on the GB? It's been the same there for over a year now.
We have our own forum where we can say what we want to - don't go somewhere else and do it or if you do accept the consequences.

HIF, maybe you should spend more time discussing the Heat and less time attacking others for their views?

Big Z does have has a little deeper range on his jumper (by 2-3 feet I'd say), but Sammy's midrange game isn't as inferior as you think.
Big Z
- 65% of his FGA's are jumpers
- Shoots 43% on them
Dalembert
- 55% of his FGA's are jumpers
- Shoots 42% on them
I wonder if Sammy can make up that 1% difference in FG% by having wide open looks all the time alongside the Big 3 like Big Z gets? Quite possible.

That's your choice.
GT3 seems to have been hating on spo and Joel in every post for a year - I need to bring that up rather than bottle it. I like to comment on how your position subtly changes but you keep your door open to jump back on the hate wagon

As for my variety I'm just replying to posts I read. Don't worry it doesn't take me much effort

My unique input is there when necessary - after each and every game. How much knew stuff can I come up with in a day?

You're right.
but He's not so bad that he has to be criticised every game and every day. I can see him being wanted by another team next season.

The Packers board needs somebody to pick for the Dolphins. Does anybody have any interest?

First thing: At no point was my name mentioned and yet you always bring me up? Are you really Spo? Did I decline you for an Internship? LOL
EDIT: I wrote a full page response but I didn't feel you were worth that kind of response. Sorry.

Maybe you realized it was the normal crap and didn't post it.
Spo is changing things up brilliantly this playoffs and Joel's play against the 6ers merits a big 4 quote

The only criticism I'd have with spo is playing JJ instead of Miller but I'm putting that down to Miller's second thumb injury.

Sounds like JR Smith may not resign with Nuggets as a FA. What can we offer for him?

Re: Random Thoughts X
Not enough. We barely have a shot at signing a real need in Nene next summer for it to be anything more than a pipe dream, so I don't think so. I see him signing on with either Chicago, New York, or maybe even New Orleans.
