We are CLEARLY the deepest team in the league.

Well, I'd say to be comparable, you'd have to lose Z instead of Mo (lose both your centers, but keep your top two scorers). So then, you'd be starting Hickson (at center), Lebron, Moon, Gibson, and Williams (tiny backcourt), with Jackson and Williams as your only front-court reserves, and Danny Green and Coby Karl as your guards off the bench.

Sorry, I think what we have now is significantly better than that.

The way I see it, you have your top two centers out, plus three of your top five wing men.
The equivalent for the Cavs would be missing Ilgauskas, Shaq, Parker, West and Moon.

So the Cavs would still have Varejao (unless you think he's better than either Shaq or Z in which case swap the two), Hickson, LeBron, Gibson, Mo. That's not a great team, but it might just be able to hold it's own for a while. I think they could give the current Blazers team (i.e. the team that played the Nuggets) a good game, but their demise but be just how undersized the backcourt would be. Combine that with the fact that LeBron would probably have to guard Roy for long stretches of the game, and I'm not quite sure how they would cope with the size of some of the other players.

I'm not really trying to say that they're better than the Blazers are with their current injuries, but I think CLEARLY (particularly in caps) is a bit of an exaggeration.

We will be by the end of the season with all the injuries. Our 3rd string or scrubs will have more experience next year, just like Denver who has an experienced bench and thats why they have been going into the playoffs the last few years.

So only 1 of our top 10 scorers from last season is playing tonight. I wonder if the Lakers could beat the Warriors tonight without Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher, Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, Luke Walton, and Josh Powell.

The Lakers' starting lineup:

PG Shannon Brown
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Adam Morrison
PF Ron Artest
C DJ Mbenga

Bench: 3 callups from the D-League?

 

[44Thrilla]

The Celtics are playing without Rondo, Pierce ad KG right now. I wonder if they can win...

 

[KingSpeed]

Here's what Cleveland would be stuck with:

PG: LeBron
SG: Parker
SF: Moon
PF: Darnell Jackson
C: Shaq

Bench: Coby Karl, Jawad Williams, Danny Green

That's not as bad as the Lakers.

Take Perkins, Rasheed, & Eddie House away as well and then they're going through what we've been going through.

That's their 3 best players. You guys still have Roy, right?

 

[KingSpeed]

We don't have LMA. And we have neither of our top 2 centers. So the Cs must be without Sheed and Perkins. We're also without our 3 point shooting PG off the bench so the Cs need to be without House.

Yeah, I just saw that LMA got hurt in the Clips game. Still, the Celtics are down 3 all-star players. The Blazers still have their franchise player and are piecing the rest together.

Cs are only missing two All Star players. They still have their franchise All Star shooting guard.

Rondo is going to be an all-star this year, and he's much better than Ray Allen.

 

[KingSpeed]

Rondo is going to be an all-star this year.

Perhaps, but he isn't yet.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ray Allen is averaging 16 ppg & 3 rpg

Rondon is averaging 13 ppg & 4 rpg

 

[44Thrilla]

By the way, Marquis Daniels is still out too.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Ray Allen is averaging 16 ppg & 3 rpg

See it's this kind of inane bullshit that gives you away as a troll.

 

[44Thrilla]

whoops forgot assists. Rondo is 3rd in the entire league. haha oops!

Good effort at trolling.

Not using assists when talking about a point guard, though, just suggests you don't understand the game. High-level trolling wouldn't make you look silly. You have the hustle, but not the talent.

 

[44Thrilla]

I bet he spelled his name wrong on purpose, too. I want a Rondon jersey.

 

[KingSpeed]

Unless the Cs play three summer league players at once and win a game against an NBA team, I won't be impressed.

 

[44Thrilla]

They started JR Giddens and Tony Allen tonight. Tony Allen at point guard.

Are you saying that Tony Allen is good or bad? Because my point is that we are so deep, we still have GOOD players left after all the injuries.

Apparently he's good because he's been playing a position he never played and the team is still winning by double digits.

Yea, but you guys have Eddie House too. We've lost our sharpshooting guard off the bench.

Also, the Cs are not winning by double digits. 83-74.

 

[KingSpeed]

Jarrett Jack for THREE! 6 point game!

It's not proof, just my opinion. I'll admit it's a nice ego boost to have my opinion thought of as a fact or proof.

...now can you ban this POS permanently...

Me thinking that he trolls from time to time doesn't mean he should be banned. If moderators thought he was only here to troll, then he'd be banned. Even I don't think that.

find another board to ruin

I don't think he's ruined this board. People are free to ignore him.

Yeah people could ignore traffic accidents while driving too...yeah
