Just wondering, how many of those PGs you listed were rookies?

What part of the delivery do I need to work on?

but im not a lifecoach, but there must be a reason the truth gets this reaction when you say it

So are you saying that this season Lillard isn't as good as Vasquez, Teague, Dragic et. al.? Boy, all that talk about him deserving to be in the real All-Star game as a rookie was pretty ridiculous, right? But let's assume he will improve incredibly dramatically, despite the fact that we all think he's super swell already.

(Waiting for the first person to point out that he's still ahead of Ricky Rubio, who's at 101 or something.)

Oh, and WERE there any other rookie PGs this year? Oh yeah, Kendall Marshall. Boy, he fell flat, didn't he? But I know for a fact there are PGs on that list that are younger than Lillard, at least.

Amazingly enough, that part will not surprise anyone. But actually I'm sunshine and lollipops when I'm not on the internet. It's just, teh stupid, it burns.

when you find yourself starting to feel overwhelmed like this, take 10 deep breaths and you will find yourself much less agitated.

I think the difference is, some first see the positives in his game and are excited about his future and think he can improve his negatives, and some first see his negatives and aren't sure he can improve.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Look, it's because I've been hurt, okay? I fell hard for Greg Oden and I... well, I'm not sure I can love again. It's not you Damian, it's me!

Thanks a bunch for reminding me I have emphysema, you insensitive asshole!

 

[THE HCP]

Why assume they're the same people? In fact, I think the people who undervalue Aldridge are more likely to be the ones who overvalue Lillard.

Not saying they are the same people......

you big galloot

Oh. Okay. Confuse me with analogies why don'tcha.

But anyway, Aldridge is our best player by a long shot. And right now, it's not close.

 

[RR7]

sure it is. Closer than you'd like.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

sure it is. Closer than you'd like.

If it's closer than I'd like then it must be that Aldridge is worse than I think. So that's depressing.

 

[RR7]

whatever you want to think.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

whatever you want to think.

I want to think we're world-beaters. Unfortunately reality intervenes.

 

[julius]

If Olshey could get the Clippers relevant, albeit horribly overrated, in my lifetime, he can do anything.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

You think I'm overly pessimistic? Check out this guy convincing himself that Kyrie Irving has peaked.

Yeah curious to see how they rank as rookies?
