    Yes and the fact that your posts suck isn't quite the thing that bothers me. In the past when you were writing sucky posts at least they were longer and more frequent. Now they are just total s h- i t and they are short and stupid to boot. Let's hope this is just temporary cause right now you are worst than a non factor on this board!

    I know what you're saying. but 25 is alot of points to avge in ure rookie year. Durant will get doubled everynight. he'll have the likes of AK-47, Marion, Artest and battier going after him everynight. i see him around 20 at best.

    We didn't double him. If I recall correctly, Battier played on him for a bit. Tmac played on him for a bit. I think Kirk Snyder guarded him a little. But I don't once remember him being double teamed.

    I think an average of 25 per game is a stretch for his rookie season, but I wouldn't rule it out.

    Thats because he was'nt having a great shooting night. also in the preseason you dont play seriouse D. if this was a regular season game and say durant actually got hot, he'll be having doubles thrown at him ASAP.

    Is anyone seeding the full game? I'm stuck at 18% and it looks like everone is stuck around there. If anyone has 100% please seed. Thanks

    Thats the max best case scenario. there is no doubt in he's prime he'll avge that and more, but as a rookie is a major stretch...

    we didn't even double him one bit. i don't think he'll demand much attention until he proves he can dominate. he hasn't proven that yet.

    i think u can say that about ANY good player. only the great ones get doubled even when they suck or even when they don't have the ball or when the game just started.

    but ANYONE can get double teamed if they're hot. it's the NBA. man, i remember earl boykins getting double teamed like crazy one game when he was still in denver b/c he was ON that game. some good players get great nights occasionally.

    Duh, most rookies, even great ones, don't dominate their first 3-4 pre-season games. It's called a learning curve.

    That would be me. :D He's actually way better than I thought he would be....and I thought he would be really good. He seems to thrive even more playing alongside two stars and a collection of talented teammates because they can't key in on him. He might be one of the most polished and ready to produce rookies this year. Agree on the rest of the points.

    If this is what you really think, then you're a dumbass. If Landry could get a solid 20 min in a preseason game then he would show you somethin.

    Yeah, I was thinking he'd be good, but it was tough to tell for sure how he'd look on an NBA squad vs. NBA players on a nightly basis.

    That pass b/t Collison's legs to Yao for slam...woah. I can't help but feel he's EXACTLY what we were looking for. Kudos to Morey!
