OT: Martell Webster Idolizes Kobe

[MickZagger]

How is the Blazers future starting PF Love playing? Is he just killin'?

He was doing alright in the couple minutes I saw. Most the 2nd half has been scrubs galore.

Wait, what?! Link?!?! Do you have inside scoop? We're shipping away LMA?

 

[THE HCP]

Nah, everybody here just loves the Love Boat and hates LA.... I don't know how to type in green!

Speaking of LMA.... I watched the fanfest the other day (I dvr'd it) and LMA looked much bigger to me. Shit, the guy almost looked like Greg for a minute with that beard going on.

The beard is a nice little optical illusion. He doesn't look any thicker at all, something I really paid attention to since a couple people said he put on 20lbs of muscle. Not true.

Former Blazer Anthony Tolliver looking silky smooth with his jumper.

Coming from the cat that thinks Matthews and Brandon are the same height!

pre-draft measurements bud.

 

[ABM]

Martell looking very good. 4 minutes to go and he has 24 points on 8-11 (3-4) shooting.

 

[MickZagger]

11 points, 8 rebounds, 6 asts on 3-5 shooting.

 

[THE HCP]

Damnit! I'm just finishing up the first quarter. He just had a sweet J and a Wade-esque drive and 1. He looks great!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

oh god, you guys are going to be hearing me whine about how we shouldn't have given up on 'TELL for the next 10 years.

But we got Luke Babbitt!

I'll try very hard not to start I-Told-You-So'ing, partially because I still am unsure of his consistency. I could see him doing very well in Minny. I could see Corey Brewer and Wes Johnson beating him out. I am not positive that being a P&R initiator and shooter in the triangle is what he's best suited for, but I would love for him to be on our team today. I'm still unsure that Babbitt (who at best seems to have the Outlaw role as his ceiling--3pt shooter from the corner as a stretch 4 with not-stellar D) is a better player or talent or higher ceiling than webster, but he will be 1/3 as expensive.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yeah, I've been a pretty staunch 'TELL defender here I guess. Just a lot of the "he's already 23 and past his prime, he'll never improve" kind of things. we'll see what happens.

 

[andalusian]

Hey Rizzle, you heard that LeBron went to Miami and Bynum is hurt again, right? Oh, and there's a black president....

What about the clock? Does it stop if there is a foul? Does it? Does it?

 

[44Thrilla]

I think Ben Roethlisberger idolizes Kobe, too.

 

[MickZagger]

I don't think we'll miss Martell one bit. I think Babbitt will fill in just nicely.

 

[ABM]

I think Ben Roethlisberger idolizes Kobe, too.

Heh, no doubt.

You think Kobe's a ballhog, though? Vanessa "Just give me the rock!" Bryant might have something to say about that.

 

[Luther]

Martell had a nice game today against LA...24 pts on 8/13 in 30 min. I wonder if Kobe gave him his shoes from Game 7??
