[NBDL] Marcus Morris Debut : Dakota Wizards @ Rio grande Valley Vipers 1/6/12

Like this post game. Better than I thought that creating his own shot; even without posting up. Nice range. Tough right now to gauge defensively.

Liked that crossover to get to the basket.

 

Wow. This post is so chock full o' ridiculous silliness, I don't know where to begin. LOL.

Hey, Captain America, you can love your country and yet still hate forced cliched shows of "patriotism."

 

Really? That's enough to hate America?

I think you need to calm down.

 

Morris has a really developed again. I reall ythink he's just wasting time down there TBH. We want to know if he can play the 3 in the NBA not in the NBDL. I really don't see how his game is going to get any better down there.

Similar to Rubio's game not getting any better as he continued to play in Europe.

 

BTW, great move by Smith. Guess I was wrong bout him.

 

I'll jut say this so the conversation gets back to basketball. Things have changed a lot in this country and very rapidly. Growing up just 20 years ago you didn't see people without their hands on their heart unless they were trash. Though I am open minded about many things, to not do this is extremely disrespectful whether you realize it or not. Some things should not change and that is one of them.

Now, on with basketball.

 

A lack of respect is a lack of respect regardless of perceived forced cliches.

I guess its a generational thing.

 

It's also disrespectful to cheer during the anthem. Everyone has done that for years. I don't see you complaining about that.

 

I fail to see how it is disrespectful in the slightest.

"One nation under god", is the disrespectful part...

 

Wow! Go read your constitution.

 

I actually like that part. If you look at American history it fits who we have been since before, during and after the time of our founding fathers. All of them were believers in God and it's part of our history.

Sure, separation of church an state is fine so there is no religious persecution but honoring our country's history is nothing bad in my opinion.

 

It is not like he is held hostage down there. He can be called upon anytime.

 

Yes of course. I still think that the time he spends down there isn't really helping him develop anything.

I just think his game and skillset is established. The question about him is he quick enough to play the 3, can he post up against NBA players and score, can he cross over NBA players and score...etc etc.

In contrast to a guy like Smith who needs to develop skills. Morris has them and the question is can he do it at the NBA level.

That's how I see it at least. So for me he's not getting better down there he's just staying warm I guess.

 

can also be used to build confidence.

 

Hey, CA, growing up in the 70s in Sugar Land, we didn't put our hands over our hearts during the National Anthem, only during the Pledge of Allegiance. The hand-over-the-heart during the anthem thing was added by Congress in 1976. And personally, I think it's stupid. Why are sporting events subject to this, but not movies, for example? No anthem before Broadway plays? It's just totally arbitrary and meaningless. That doesn't mean I hate America, though -- it just means I don't like to be forced to do silly crap that's just for show. I'd prefer to be treated like an adult, not told what to do as if I were a child.

Jehovah's Witnesses don't even bother to stand during the anthem. Does that mean they ALL hate America?

Don't get me wrong -- I like that you express your patriotism the way you see fit. Just don't tell ME how to express MINE. This is the USA, and we're supposed to respect the rights of individuals to do their own thing the way they feel works for them.

It's a false sense of confidence if he comes into the NBA and plays against a NBA player that torches him on both ends.

Yes I know it could happen tonight. Durant would torch him and embarrass him, at least he knows he has to work hard to get better. We can't coddle some of these guys and build up their confidence. Great players are instilled with confidence already.

 

So what was the final stats for Martin?

T_Man

 

Wow. Your clueless. Its like someone sticking their hand out to great you and you refuse to shake their hand. Its custom that you shake their hand and if you don't that is a blatent form of disrespect.

When the national anthym is played, you are supposed to place your hand over your heart as a sign of respect for all those people that have served for the rights that we all have. Not putting your hand over your heart is a sign of disrespect to all of us.

 

Lol watching the other game. Man watching Yi play just makes me miss Yao more

 

.....Can't see the box score but 21 pts and double digit rebounds by Mook
