Real Deal

Well, that comment was regarding offensive threats. I don't really consider Varejao one, and besides, he only played 25 games. Tristan doesn't do enough to warrant a mention, in my opinion. He shoots under 45% for a big man, and if it wasn't for Varejao's injury (and Ryan Hollins being worthless and eventually waived), Thompson would have been coming off the bench all season long. Without looking, I doubt he even averaged double-digit scoring.

Whoa...that's a big time statement, seeing that Rose has already added an MVP to his accomplishments. What makes you think this?

Last year (rookie)... 18.5 PPG on 46.9% FG, 39.9% 3PT (3.6 ATT/G), 5.4 APG, 3.7 RPG, 1.1 SPG, 30.5 MPG Those are pretty damn good numbers as a rookie PG with Antawn Jamison as your best (and only) teammate. You can assume that CP3, Williams, and Rondo will be ahead of the pack. With Rose injured, Nash teamed with two superstars and an all-star, and Tony Parker's teammates all aging as well...can Irving rank in the top five? CP3 Williams Rondo Westbrook Possible?

Kanter lost a LOT of weight...just putting that out there. I don't like Brown playing Jamison at the three, at least not when Howard is out there...and I realize that Dwight will be, but I'm not so sure he plans on playing Jamison at the four when Howard is on the bench, so I'm crossing my fingers. The only time Jamison backs up Ron Ron is if Dwight is out there contesting everything at the rim. Otherwise, we can't afford guys like LeBron dropping 20 on him alone.

When I saw JGL in TDKR, I just started to see that great actor he had in him. Saw the trailor for Looper, though, and it kind of reminded me of Jumper, and I thought Jumper was a fun movie (a lot of people didn't like it, but I thought it was good). It doesn't have a similar plot or anything, but the feel of it... I'll have to see it, but I'm not really sure if it's worth going to the theaters for. I like to reserve those trips for movies with the crazy ass effects/graphics (Transformers 3) or a movie I will like, 100% sure (TDKR).

I haven't watched much of the Eagles this year, honestly. Is Vick just hurt, or does he actually have some kind of QB turnover syndrome? EDIT: Yes, he's always hurt...but is he legitimately injured to where he just can't throw the ball accurately? Because at one point, his accuracy seemed to have shot up quite a bit.

I really don't mind the bag, since it doesn't have a tiny handle or a strap on it. The shirt is pretty awkward...and are those white skinny jeans?

Good to go. Thanks.

Just had to re-register over there. Did you lose the database, or...?

You know I'll swap links with you guys, haha. Any chance you could somehow make a topic about the links section of the site? You don't necessarily have to make a topic for DiscussHoops, just the actual section, getting everyone to at least notice it's there and active. I'll put your link up soon...but I'll need an image representing NBAD, and also a description (see the other topics in the affiliation section).

Can't say it'll help them that much, since they have Brown, Frye, Beasley, Dudley, and a couple others wanting to shoot long jumpers and threes. They really need Scola to play closer to the rim and help on the glass, not become a Mehmet Okur.

Well, it's still preseason, so it's better to wait until Lin sticks his hand into 20 games or so with Houston. Right now, you're almost forced to say Conley, simply because Lin is a turnover machine that didn't have a full season of good play. However, it won't surprise me if Jeremy Lin ends up being better than Mike, because the truth is, Conley hasn't been THAT impressive to begin with.

SMH.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Where the [expletive] is Jeff Hostetler? Let's give him a contract...I know he's 50+ years old, but I'd rather see Hoss out there than this idiot Palmer. Nice play calling, by the way.

CALVIN BOOTH. I wonder how many posts he has been mentioned in on this site. EDIT: Ten total, four times since 2009. LOL...surpassed my expectations.

Should have played Free Fallin' as he was on his way down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lWJXDG2i0A

That was incredible.

They've delayed this about 2-3 times already (at least since I've been paying attention to it). He was supposed to go up on Tuesday, when I first found out about this guy...and the winds were about 5 MPH too strong. They need it to be around 1-2 MPH max, and just knowing THAT would freak me the hell out.

Yeah, it's a 23-mile high jump...never done before, and he's looking to break the sound barrier with just his body, which is scary. At that altitude, even slight changes in wind speed (as he's falling) or a small miscalculation...well, it could kill him instantly. He's also testing the suit they provided him, for astronauts, so he's doing it for more than just himself.

There's only one movie that creeps me the [expletive] out, and it's Carrie...even today. Not so much through the majority of it, but once she's covered in blood, it's just different, lol. Anyone scared of Paranormal Activity (the series of movies)? I haven't seen any of them since the first one, and I thought the first they put out was just dumb.

Just watched this movie tonight (bought the DVD when it came out)...really thought they did a great job on it (probably the sixth time I've seen it, by the way, lol). Super bump. The jump scares are fun, and this Freddy seems more demented. I can't believe I didn't comment on this when I saw it in theaters.
