Rey does his job, unlike the first match.

Honestly not watching the game, but we are holding tough against another elite team tonight, what the [expletive] else is it going to take for BC to realize Bargnani does not help this team? At best he has a neutral affect, then you factor in his huge salary, trade him for expirings.

Excited.

Time to shut Jose down for the year.

Mike James averaged 20 PPG one year for an absolutely shit team too.

A 100% committed Eddy Curry is still an extremely broken player, so a 50% committed Eddy at this point (probably) is useless.

Amare is as soft as Pau, ironic. I don't get where titles come into play though, Bynum.

It really is pretty criminal. I haven't gone to a game since I could drink, but the prices are just outrageous for the amount of beer you get.

He needs to lose like 40 lbs because it is clear that his knees can't support his body lol. I mean it's one thing if a guy plays wreckless and is getting hurt, he can adjust hit playing style. But this kid blew his knee out stepping off his couch.

I disagree. I think Bayless is actually our least predictable player, for better and for worse.

He stands nothing to gain from returning. He showed in the later parts of the year he is in the top percentile, the only way he can take his game to the next level is at the NBA level. An NCAA title would be nice, but it isn't worth gambling on being a likely top 3 pick in a much stronger draft next year.

I don't get it. I can see how you don't like Isiah the GM, who would. But the player? Explain.. EDIT: did you even read the article?

WWE Championship The Miz © vs. John Cena -- if Cena wins then idk what to tell ya. Maybe Cena wins then Rock lays his ass out to send the fans home happy. No Holds Barred The Undertaker vs. Triple H World Heavyweight Championship Edge © vs. Alberto Del Rio Special Guest Referee "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole (wJack Swagger) John Morrison, Trish Stratus & Snooki vs. Dolph Ziggler & Lay-Cool (w/Vickie Guerrero) Randy Orton vs. CM Punk -- Would love to see Punk win, but as usual he will job out. Big Show, Kane, Vladimir Kozlov & Santino Marella vs. The Corre -- If Nexus loses here then they might as well disband United States Championship Sheamus © vs. Daniel Bryan Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes -- Literally no reason for Rey to win

*Insert moral highground post here*

I don't want a tweener in my starting 5, especially in my frontcourt. The whole is he is a PF or a SF thing has ruined guys like Marvin, and has resulted in guys like Jamison putting up hollow stats because he plays the 4 offensively fine, but can't protect the rim like a prototypical 4 should, or help out on the glass like they should. I don't get how Derrick Williams isn't a 3, the guy is 6-8 and 240, so by my guess he isn't gonna be an elite defender at the SF or PF position, but at least offensively he probably gives you more at the 3 than he does at the 4 at his size, looks like he is a really solid shooter. I have never pictured Beasley as a 4 either (an example that is from a similar player), at least on an effective team. You can't get away with bad defenders/rebounders at the PF/C position, you just can't, but you can possibly get away with bad defenders at the other positions, at least compared to your bigs. It is like would you rather have Jose Calderon getting torched and the opposing point running into Perkins and KG, or having Rondo defending the opposing point and Love and Beasley behind him. More often than not, a 'tweener' like Beasley or Jamison is going to be taking away more than they are bringing you if they are playing the PF position.

The only way for a young (and hardheaded) player like Bayless to develop any kind of consistency is for him to be able to play through rough patches, and learn what he can/can't do or get away with. Playing him spotty minutes and often out of position isn't going to help him develop any sort of consistency. He probably doesn't even know what his role on the team is (I sure as hell don't).

Saw it on the Raps forum at RGM and there is no link. It would be about damn time this kid gets a shot, he is our most intriguing prospect imo because he shows flashes, but he is on such a short leash that he hardly is ever to play through his mistakes. He obviously isn't without his flaws, but he can't get better as a point guard unless he is able to play through rough stretches. Also finally it sounds like the tank might be getting turned on.

Well I am not reading this thread, but I will just say this is an absolutely inexcusable game from Miami, inexcusable.

You want a veteran who is almost 40 to act like he did when he was just bursting on the scene at 27 years of age? Surprise, after your best friend dies and you almost die of overdose, you aren't the same person you were a decade ago.

People don't want to play for the Raptors, it has nothing to do with Toronto aka white vegas.

Dan Gilbert is a bitter cunt.

Am I the only one who expected this to be someone's brother?

... oh lawdy.

Good stuff welcome back.
