3 teams are .500 or better in the East

11 teams in the West are .500 or better

6 teams in West have 10+ wins

2 teams in East have 10+ wins

the West is SO much better its crazy, more stars,more depth more everything other than sucky teams

Drummond had a huge game, huh?

He's for real, people.

I seriously think Drummond could be the next Dwight Howard.

Kwame Brown, best case scenario.

Lol. I definitely didn't like him coming into the draft, not sure if I ever said anything that bad. Probably did. Oh well.

Anthony Davis out indefinitely with a broken hand. Huge loss for Pels.

Pelicans got to tank HARD now. Philadelphia has to be licking their lips right now for the 6th pick next year.

Royce White is the second best player in the draft.

He need to eat some calcium. He'll never be Tim Duncan good if he can't stay healthy and durable.

He was though. He nearly destroyed the entire UK team by himself. I didn't know he was so crazy mentally and neither did Houston or they would not have taken a chance on him. Hell, Royce is probably a better player right now than Zeller is. :wink:

Lol. We could probably quote each others past post mistakes, or whatever you want to call them all night long. Just apart of being a fan and falling in love with a prospect. Precisely why this board, and all boards in general get into all out arguments every year during draft time.

Edit: And if Royce White was the second best player in that draft he would still be in the league on potential alone.

Nope, he was rebelling against the status quo and rocking the boat too much. He was a special case and the NBA seems to be black balling him asap b/c it would cost the suits money to entertain the idea of mental health protocol and clauses in player contracts and such. He'd need Jordan/Lebron potential to outweigh that kind of baggage.

I completely disagree with your assessment. The kid just isn't that good. But oh well, its in the past. Everyone makes blunders when they want a prospect on their team. Its alright.

I didn't make a blunder though. I wanted us to draft Drummond first and foremost. Royce was slotted to go late 1st round/early 2nd and I wanted to trade down with Cleveland and pick up Drummond at 4 and a chance to get Royce at 24. Royce went to asset collecting Houston at 16 so we never would have gotten him. We probably would have ended up with Drummond and Perry Jones III if it were me. Don't give me that hindsight is 20/20 nonsense either, that deal was basically written on the Bobcats' draftboard and Cleveland's GM is dumber than **** so you know it could have been done.

I honestly don't care. You keep randomly quoting me about stuff from a while back for no reason. Its annoying.
