You already beat him in worst loser of the prediction thread. Everyone is giving him a hard time for going with 23 when you actually picked 22.

Yeah, but I wasn't foolish enough to engage in talks with Kingspeed about their win total and making halfway serious "bets" with him (that only one side took seriously and still hasn't let it go).

Not sure he was over looked, considering Curry had even more insane #'s.

Yeah I would've given it to Curry too.

Just sucks the way the weeks broke up with Allstar break because Dame would've got it for that first 4 game stretch.

I think I said this earlier, Damian is playing the role of Clyde Drexler (tho unlike Clyde, Damian has a killer instinct and works out like a maniac) and Stephen Curry is Michael Jordan.

While Clyde was really really good, Jordan was just a notch or 3 above. Same applies to Damian and Stephen.

That is the lot of a Blazer fan.

yea I would say that could be a pretty accurate way to look at it
BUT, Steph is also 3 years further into his career than Dame, that SHOULD account for SOMETHING shouldn't it?

also is a nice thing to have in the back of your mind, if Dame keeps on this path that he has been on the way things are timed COULD be perfect for him to just slide into that spot Curry is in now much like how Curry seems to have just made LBJ an afterthought out of no where.

I wouldn't say it is a given or anything but remember that Steph has had major ankle issues in his life. It is a possibility that his body breaks down as he gets older.

Trey Burke has first DNP-CD of his career.

which is kinda sad considering how much less physical the game is anymore

Damn fo real? Why? I thought he was nice..

If you thought he was every nice then you have been caught looking merely at box scores.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

They don't like his defense, at all.

 

[Natebishop3]

Man.... there hasn't been any update on Bosh. If he's going to be out for the year, I'd like to know so I can dump him off my fantasy team.

Good stuff but closer to 13 minute mark. Some on POR starts there. Why better starts at like 13:55

Their crappy player won't let me skip ahead.

The difference is Drexler never lit Jordan up like Dame did for 51.

I linked the mp3 file, and it is your browser that is selecting the player for that.

if you haven't listened to it already.

 

[Natebishop3]

It's really cool to listen to someone talk about our team. He really talks up our bench. We are spoiled to have guys like Hendo/Crabbe/Davis coming off the bench. I think all three of those guys could be starting in the league right now.

He did have a battle with Jordan once. Drexler had 42, Jordan had 52. Portland won though, in Chicago.

Drexler almost had a triple double.

Lawson bought out, any interest?
