    If this team finishes at 9th place > those 9th place teams of past 3 years, this team actually has upside and will improve year by year no doubt.

    He doesn't see that, it's Dwight Howard or bust for him.

    As it should be for all of you, unless you'd rather wait three seasons just to get back where we were last year, and god knows how many more to contend. (Probably just "rebuild" again in five years and half-ass it again instead of truly tanking or truly adding a superstar.)

    By this logic, every team in the league save Miami and Okc should be throwing whatever they can for Howard, otherwise they are going nowhere. Why does no one want him?

    I agree. Last year I popped in MW3 when the Rockets started to suck an I couldn't take it anymore.

    I think there is very little chance that Pat starts ahead of DMo.

    9th seed again but we're younger and still have cap flexibility.

    What are you gonna do when D12 retires? Quit watching basketball? You do know that D12 has never won a championship right? I'm guessing you don't believe that fact.

    I think me and you are on the same mind wavelength. Without Howard or some other star. We will keep getting that 14th pick over and over and over and over

    If a team that is on average 22 years old and they finish 9th that means the future is really bright.

    Has he win a championship? If not the conclusion must be that having Dwight is not the only way or maybe not even the best way to win a championship

    i just hope our 5,000,000 power forwards all get a shot to compete for the lead role in Maury's epic. But I feel mctalky will just go with what he is comfortable with. it's what all coaches would do. Patsquatch makes mctalky feel warm, but there hasn't been a sighting of the real patsquatch since april 2011. =(. Hope he is recovering somewhere.


    Lamb is top five talent. With a bum ankle, bad scouting from other gms and tmac eyes, he was able to fall to us at 12. How can we not like the direction. He is going to be a star fpr us. (or orlando). :grin:

    how dare could there be more than one white/asian player in the starting line-up since it's a sport for black players only. let me guess..it's racism, right?

    Have you seen our current roster? If we do nothing else this offseason, we're a lock for top-5 in the lotto. We're sending children to play against grown men.
