Built Ford Tough Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Could you imagine how badly Lopez and Gasol would dominate this game if it was played like an actual game, and not a glorified pick up game? Lopez and Gasol would absoutely go to work on Blair and Gibson down low. The rookies "bigs" would have absolutely no chance at stopping Lopez or Gasol down low, particularly Lopez with his nice offensive game. The rookies team has absolutely no chance of winning this game. If they run with the Sophomore team they will get blown out of the water as the 2nd years have players like Rose, Mayo, Beasley, Westbrook, Gordon and Gallinari that would absolutely thrive in a fast paced game with their athleticism and/or shooting ability. The rookies don't have the personel to slow the game down and play a half court game either. I definitely think that this is going to be one of the more lopsided Rookie Challenges that we have seen in a while. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Sophomores win by 40 points.

BlueDevil Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) ya things arent looking good for the rookies. They are all very much alike, while the sophomores have way more versatility. Also, every member on the sophomore team is a starter for their NBA teams, and from the looks of it westbrook and love will be coming off the bench, showing just how deep this team is. this could get ugly.

Sun Tzu Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Sophmores by 20. I don't think the Rookies have a chance, the Sophmores seem to win every year because of experience and it's definitely not going to change this year. Plus, the sophmore team is much talented than the rookie team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted January 28, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Added the game's history since they changed it from two rookie teams to the rookie/sophomore teams. Check out how close this year's sophomores got to winning last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreusito Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Morrow to replace Rose Rose was excused because he was participating in the All Star Game and Skills Challange.http://www.nba.com/2010/allstar/2010/02/02/morrow.rose/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Lol if the Sophmores had Rose they win by 50, but only 30 because no Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Next Knick Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I really want Danilo to go off, but he's not the best under pressure so I'm not sure how he'll do. I'd love to see Tyreke and BJ3 play well and it'll be interesting to see how they play together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
