    Also, just because I no longer cheer for him, can't be 'only fans' can we?, doesn't mean I won't enjoy his performances in the new Star Trek movies. =)

    but man do i miss those post game interviews. he had so much fun playing.

    who am i kidding, i miss that sexay accent!

    I like Dragic, I think he's a good guy but in a 1 or 2 years Lin will be better than him. Dragic just has more basketball experience than Lin .. Lin and Dragic are good friends. all good..

    LOL

    dragic is an well arguably all star this season. there's no debate that dragic would start on this team. Lin and Beverly in the least would never even be close to considered as an all star right now.

    It's funny both Goran and Jeremy talk about their old teams the same way - how their coaches helped them (Jeremy on MDA: "He changed my career, he changed my life."); and how much they loved the fans (Jeremy: "I love the New York fans to death").

    Usage
    Minutes
    Coaching
    (not necessarily in that order)

    besides that, he's just gotten better from experience.

    I see the LOF's have shown up to trash another non-Lin thread. How original.

    Awesome vid, Clutch! Props....


    Couple of things:

    1. Dragic was still developing as a starter with us, and had he re-up'd with us, we'd be arguably the most talented team in the NBA.
    -Dragic/James/CP/Dwight and, if it were my way, PatPat.

    2. I don't know if Goran's decision was all about PHX's offer. Yes, we always hear about Morey's opposition to the "player option" but:
    -Yes, Dragic loves it here in Phoenix and loved playing under Nash and the PHX coaching/medical staff.
    -Could the coaching situation have been to blame? ( NeNe will tell you)
    - Did Lowry's healing injury have significance?

    3. I wish him the best. Great player/person. The things he does out here for the Phoenix community/kids is awesome.

    I already he and Lowry are good players when Houston got rid of them. So is Scola. So it's not like they got rid of them because they suck. Houston want to invest in the future and they don't want any of those guys to be part of it.

    Only one poster said anything about Lin in this whole thread. Where are all the plural Lins fans that you speak of. Only one. And an idiotic generalisation from an insecure old fart.

    After watching Goran's rookie season and possibly second season (bad memory), I find it hard to believe that he is playing at a genuine All Star level. I guess I better take the time to watch a Phoenix Suns game.

    He had no confidence, he was shy, his game was anything but great, he was making a ton of mistakes, playing with borderline no skill but layups when he had the confidence to take them.

    It just goes to show what people can achieve from a optimists perspective and how much room there is for improvement inside of the NBA from a pessimists.

    Playing alongside Steve Nash he was certainly no Steve Nash that's for sure. I would like to see them play eachother now.
