No I got nothing. It was a horrible pick then and it's still a horrible pick now.

Just wait for the inevitable injuries to start to pile up they will be fighting for a play-off spot.

Rose has been awful, like Kobe they'd be a better team if he just sits. McBuckets might be good though

wtf seriously, how are you gonna get a chance to score almost 20 points on free throws alone... thats **** absurd...

lol.....<.< does anyone else see how ironic this sounds? <3 you boogie, but..yeah no one on here complains when Demar gets to the line 15 times a game or when Lou was getting those same touch fouls last year.

im not praising lou williams though... even without seeing a minute of the game, i understand exactly what he did to get those 19 fouls... i think its cheesy as hell and im glad hes not doing that **** on our team this year... i also understand that the way he draws fouls wont do **** for you in the playoffs... im just really surprised that the refs consistently give him love in the regular season...

omg man... this is the corniest **** ive ever heard.

he didnt pick drummond because of questions about his work ethic and passion. pretty **** simple. there have been plenty of instances where athletic players with a lot of talent never amount to nothing... according to colangelo (and 6 other gms) he didnt have what it takes mentally... the talent was always there... no one denied that... andre drummond was top 5 in mocks for a while before the college season started... look at anthony bennett for example... that guy hasnt been a bust strictly because of a lack of talent... gms make mistakes but theyre not all actually stupid. theres reasons for certain decisions and they might not always be the right ones but theres actually a logical train of thought behind them...

Sure there were reasons to NOT pick Drummond, but if your alternative was Ross, you **** pick Drummond.

And your explanation is just ****. He had top 5 talent and we took a guy who should have gone in the middle of the first round. Drummond was an absolute freak athlete comparable to Howard. You take that over a shooting guard with short arms who was mediocre any day of the week. Should a gm always take elite athleticism? Only if it truly is elite, which is rare. There won't be another center with Drummond's physical tools for 5-10 years.
Cheers.

Buss and Kupchak may have created a truly great stealth tank team.

Watch the Raptors drop 1 game to them anyway though. :lol:

I love days like today, when the 7 pm games come through you know you're sitting pretty.

I don't get how a team with chris paul and blake griffin aren't serious scary contenders

hsb · Post #254 » by **hsb** » Thu Nov 5, 2015 4:40 am

Clips chipping into the lead by going back to Griffin.

kidr1211 · Post #255 » by **kidr1211** » Thu Nov 5, 2015 4:58 am

Beal is going to be an all star this year. That washington backcourt is going to be crazy good for a long time

I'd say they are in contention no doubt. Jordan was right to stay even if he did bungle the whole thing. And early on observations I think Lance stephenson might work out.

On another note, I'd say Klay Thomspon is both overrated and underated at the same time. GS looks good.

C'mon Clippers let's gooo

Harrison Barnes is basically MJ with an elite 3 pt shot. Smh always screwing the teams I'm cheering for.

Harrison Barnes again....
