Well, if Roy needs to coast in the preseason to put up numbers like he has over the first three games of the season, I'm completely fine with it.

Are you really on here at 4:00 AM your time?!

But I agree. LaMarcus has looked terrible to me so far. 79 games left though.
 
I really wish Brandon had played harder in the preseason! Sure would have helped us huh?
 
I'd like to see Aldridge shoot a little higher percentage, but the areas where I've always had my biggest beefs with his game are defense and rebounding and so far I think he's done a pretty decent job at both, all things considered.

The Heat were 3 and 4 in the pre-season. Disgraceful according to you.

Not at all. You apparently still don't even get the basic point, after all of this. Let me say it again, one more time, and very slowly, just for your benefit . . .

What I care about (and what I've been saying throughout) is the EFFORT you give in the preseason. If you play hard and play together, that will usually translate into wins, but if it doesn't, I don't have a problem with it. All I want to see is genuine effort, rather than coasting.

Why give the same effort for games that don't count? Let's say, hypothetically, that Roy decides to play balls out in the preseason. That usually entails his crazy drives into the lane. Would you be happy if Roy was giving his all, drove into the lane, and tore an ACL in a meaningless preseason game?

What a strange thing to care about.

FUCKING WELL SAID FAMS! This should be the last post in this dumb ass thread!

Take a look at some of the box scores from the preseason, my friend. LeBron James, Dwayne Howard, Dirk Nowitski, and a good number of "solidified" players had outstanding all-around performances during the pre-season. Roy was notable for being one who didn't.

A sad memory, but this kind of reminds me of how LT rarely played during the preseason for the Chargers. I thought it didn't affect his superstar play over the years, but now I realize.... THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T WIN THE SUPERBOWL!

Damn you, LT and Damn you, Roy!!! When can we make Shooter our coach?

Exactly. There was a coach - can't remember who - who had a famous saying - "Don't confuse effort with results."

Very rarely extreme effort will make you something you are not - ie, Mark Madsen being on an NBA team, let alone for multiple seasons - but results are all that matter. Effort is a factor in results, but it is not even the primary one. Talent is.
 
I thought this thread was done!!!!! LA has looked a little off. Shooting % is bad, but I could care less if he puts #'s up like he did last night!

HCP, are you on this trip? If so, what is the vibe you're getting? I feel confident watching this team; more so than at any time since the Pippen days.

I think he's kind of anxious and confused, but at the same time he likes all the pretty colors.

I am. The vibe I'm getting is All Business! With guys like Camby and Andre around, nobody is acting all goofy and shit like we used to with Travis and Marty around. Rode the elevator up late last night here in Chicago with Nic, LA and Brandon........ They were acting like it was just another game they should have won and did. Confidence, not cockiness! If it means anything, BRoy still talks trash to me about my Ducks! He's a hater!
 
That asshole Roy needs to stop making things look all easy and stuff. I would rather have sucky players who work really really really hard than good players who get what they need out of preseason and then turn it on in the regular season like Roy.

What Roy needs out of preseason is probably just to get into a routine and then get comfortable in time for the regular season. Looks like it worked, the bastard.
