Line of the Night

Wow. Anthony scored 45 points in less than 25 minutes? That's almost 90 points for a full game.

Thank's for doing this by the way. I don't have time to browse through every boxscore everyday, and these are exactly the things I'd be looking for.

Perhaps I was wrong about Blair. He only had 4 rebounds yesterday.

 

[BenDavis503]

thanks again.

Damn, Blair is looking really good. And so does Hibbert.

 

[PapaG]

thanks again.

Damn, Blair is looking really good. And so does Hibbert.

Yep, should have traded Oden for Hibbert and drafted Blair while letting LMA go next year.

 

[blazerboy30]

Hey Nate, do you have this automated?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Yep, should have traded Oden for Hibbert and drafted Blair while letting LMA go next year.

Oh man, a front court of Hibbert and Blair would unstoppable! Sign me up!

You were talking about Dr. Hibbert and Tony Blair, right?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Yep, should have traded Oden for Hibbert and drafted Blair while letting LMA go next year.

Nah, we can keep Oden. Having "Breakout Hibbert" wouldn't matter if we didn't have a PG that knew what a 7' open guy rolling to the hoop could do if he had the ball.

Drafting Blair while keeping LMA would've been a decent option, too.

I understand it's sarcasm, but this one sounds like a lot of sour grapes.

 

[Blazed Mania 52]

Yep, should have traded Oden for Hibbert and drafted Blair while letting LMA go next year.

We would then be a Northwest version of a crappy Big East team.

The grapes, while tangy, won't be sour until I see Blair perform against more than D-League players. He does look good so far, I will admit.

 

[Natebishop3]

Hey Nate, do you have this automated?

Definitely NOT automated. This is all based on who I think did well and who I thought sucked.



Hibbert has looked solid so far, and Blair is impressive. Also, DeMar DeRozan has been decent too.

I wanted to put OJ Mayo's shitty shooting on the list, but he made up for it with 10 assists last night.

 

[BenDavis503]

Yep, should have traded Oden for Hibbert and drafted Blair while letting LMA go next year.

Yup. Cuz that is exactly what I am saying. Are you some kind of mind reader? Holy shit man can you teach me that? I am amazed with your talents. You are truly, a fucking amazing human being.

 

[MickZagger]

For as much hype and smack that Brandon Jennings presented himself with before entering the league. He sure has set the league on fire in his brief NBA career. Granted it is summer league, but the guy has been shooting about 15% from the field.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Wow. Anthony scored 45 points in less than 25 minutes? That's almost 90 points for a full game.

I enjoy these too . . . thanks Nate.

 

[Samuel]

Perhaps it's the irrational part of me speaking, but I still feel like Oden is of a higher pedigree than all of these guys--Hibbert, Blair, etc. We'll see after this season, I suppose.

 

[PapaG]

Settle down, Mr. Literal.
