OT- Around the NBA

[MickZagger]

Bledsoe does good things on the court. But, he's a horrible decision maker.

 

[Natebishop3]

That Kevin Love guys pretty good, too. They have a solid coaching staff. Williams is a very underrated rookie.

Nah, Kevin Love is just a stat whore... didn't you hear?

 

[huevonkiller]

Condolences to Bosh's family.

Amazing game for Deron although i wish he were a bit more consistent. He should be having a prime season, I guess this could be a nice start for him.

 

[MickZagger]

Love has just abused his competition for Western Conference AS Forwards in consecutive games.

 

[KingSpeed]

Chris Paul chokes.

The best part about this thread is that every time I see you having the last post, I know it's going to be you posting about Kevin Love.

Are you sure you're following the team you root for the most these days?

I root for the Blazers, its hard for me to watch right now with the WCC tourney final on right now.

Love is just a baller and I've followed him since he was a freshman in high school, I really enjoy watching him play.

OMFG!!!

Elias Harris!

Fucking Gonzaga just killed the value of my 4th ticket to next Thursday at the RG. Hopefully UW gets placed in Portland, so I can at least break even. Last time the NCAAs were in PDX, I made a killing with both UW and Gonzaga placed in this pod.

 

[PapaG]

Gonzaga with another gag job.

You'll probably still get that money if St. Mary's gets that pod. I think Gonzaga's resume' is worth a seed in that pod, this loss withstanding.

West coast fans travel well for the tourney if its on the west coast.

I lost my ass on two extra tickets in Spokane two years ago. Weird thing was, Gonzaga ended up a 6-seed that year, yet had to play in San Jose, yet Vandy is likely going to get to play in Nashville?

Meh, WCC tourney. Toss St. Mary's a bone and let em have one.

Faried with 20, 12 and 2blks.

Nolan Smith DNP-CD in a 20pts blowout.

 

[crowTrobot]

faried with another 20/12 in win, looking like a supercharged version of noah.

that one will always hurt more than most because it was such a no-brainer pick at the time.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

20/12/2 7-9 FG for the Manimal.

Chad Buchanan and Larry Miller are fucking morons.

Well, when you don't have a GM, what do you expect? Blame Paul Allen for this bullshit. It's all his fault.

This.

I blame Chad Buchanan, the head scout, for blowing this pick.

It was painfully obvious then and even more so now. There isn't one good reason why you take a combo guard over a rebounding machine like Faried.

 

[RoyToy]

It was never Faried for Smith, so comparing the two isn't the point

It's more Felton for Faried/Miller with Nolan as a throw-in and then the other stuff with Hamilton/Rudy/etc

I think Nate got the players he wanted is the most likely scenario here, not just Chad shuffling the roster

Chad is an assistant GM acting as the GM. I'm guessing he has little say in what happens.

No doubt the Blazers got hosed, though

 

[THE HCP]

Damn...... Orlando is about to lose to the Bobcats!

 

[jlprk]

Nate wanted Taurean Green. Nate wanted shooters so they got Babbitt and Diebler. Nate works with Coach K every summer so they passed Faried for K's Nolan Smith. Half of the recent bad picks came from McMillan.

 

[THE HCP]

Anybody watching this Laker game? LA down 3 to Detroit....... 6 seconds left with the ball.

 

[THE HCP]

Lakers lose!

It's not Nate's job to scout players and talent. Letting Nate influence who they pick means the management is at fault.

Linnsanity coming to an end? He's had 3 crappy games in row.

Or the addition of melo has ruined his play.
