It's not just 1 game with Rahim, it's a whole career! Who knows, maybe there's something to his game that doesn't translate to winning basketball, I mean Juwon Howard has the exact same game and every time he's been counted on to be a major contributor his teams have lost. Coincidence? Bad teammates? Maybe, maybe no. I thought the Kings would stink, but then I heard 50 million people say they're going to win the Pacific and not miss a beat, so I though I was crazy and changed my mind. Well, they're obviously not that bad, but they're going to have to change their system completely because of the group of players they currently have. Most of them ain't selfish dudes, they're just not as good as passing the ball and moving without the ball as guys like Divac, Webber, Christie, Songaila, Bobby Jackson, even Mobley last season.
People used to say Andre Miller was a loser and the Rockets shouldnt get him because he was a cancer blah blah blah. Denver will be one of the best teams in the league with him at the helm.
I like this thread. Tinman wants to stir things up and start a stink, so he throws the bait out, and you guys are instantly hooked. He knows it's just one game too. He's only having fun.
Can you get me one of those big Mrs Field cookies from the mall? Getting rid of your #1 overrated player starts the process. but it was the major step. first you take out the big stack of trash smelling up your kitchen, then you clean the floors and counters and get rid of dust... replace old appliances and then you get a nice martha stewart kitchen. I like chocolate chip also with some 2% milk.
Amen! can I get a witness?? Oh what a matchup Juwan vs Rahim would be. Old School overrated vs New School overrated. I'm proud Juwan has realized that he's just a role player. Rahim has several more losing seasons to learn that he's not the man, he's no better than Zach Randolph or Pal Gusual or [insert powerforward].. for Stromile to impress me and win me over, he has to throw a nasty dunk on overrated PFs like Rahim.
After how many freaking years? I said "immediately". You think I expected all of the teams that SAR stay to NEVER make the playoffs? I am sorry, but your reply is not a well thought-out one.
What a joke. I guess TMac was a bad choice since we lost our first game with him, same with Yao. But then again, I guess you have nothing else to talk about. Wells-Bibby-Miller combined for a whopping 18 points and 13 points, but it's SAR's fault they lost. So I guess when the Kings make the playoffs, it'll be because of every Kings player except SAR, right?
im afraid you are incorrect. are you in egypt ? cause you are in de-nile. granted this top does not even cover basketball knowledge. its saying the obvious. SAR causes teams to tank. He bounces around because he's never happy... which means no one likes him. Look at Robert Horry, everybody says " I would love to have a Robert Horry on my team". No one says that about SAR. its so obvious you couldn't buy a clue in basketball knowledge if they sold clues at Fiesta. me: Fab Five from Michigan answer: Webber, Rose, Juwan.. 2 non nba-ers you: Fab Five from Michigan answer: Tito, Jeramine, Michael.. LaToya..Freddie me: The Dream answer: Hakeem or Akeem you: The Dream answer: one day having half the basketball knowledge as me me: Tmac answer: unstoppable all star you: Tmac answer: that lizard chasing the kids in Jurassic Park ----
Horry has bounced around just as much as SAR, does that mean he's never happy and no one likes him. TMac has played for 3 different teams in 8 seasons, I guess no one likes him either. Players move around for money, they get traded, teams trade FOR them. Think before posting stupid things. SAR has never played for a winning team, no one can deny that. But the VANCOUVER Grizzlies, Hawks, and Blazers weren't winning teams when he got there or instantly became winning teams when he left.
Congratulations, Tinman. You've officially become a parody of yourself. Now, go sit in the corner with YoYao, LHutz, and Trader_Jorge. And do try to stay quiet. We're discussing basketball here.
So, he doesn't make a difference either way? That means tinman could have played PF for those teams and they still would have sucked. Not a good thing to point out if you ask me! What are you guys trying to prove? That it's not his fault his teams lose? That's true, teams win and lose as a team, but he's never been the difference between a winning and losing team, and that's a bad thing for a player that's as productive as he is. Preseason predictions don't really matter, but this isn't the first time he's been on a team with enough talent to merit some playoff predictions. Lets see what happens now...
I see your point. But you could have put Kobe with that Grizzlies or Hawks team and you still wouldn't have seen a significant improvement. I'm not saying we should have gotten SAR or anything like that. But to call out people who wanted SAR after the 1st game of the season is down right stupid, no matter how you spin it.
People LIKE Horry. People LIKE Tmac. They have HEART. They are WINNERS. You see Duncan and Shaq and Cassell gigling with Horry. Yao HUGGING Tmac. Where's the SAR love? he's not liked (by teammates). If I were a GM and it was a choice between Horry and SAR. I'd go with the guy with 6 rings.
Gucci, You and Prada, Tommy hilfiger, and Polo maybe right. Maybe i'm so excited that the NBA season started. I couldnt help that it brings a smile to me that Sacremento (who is suppose to win the division) with SAR got beaten down like a foster child by OKLAHOMA HORNETS! If Boki dunked on SAR, that would be icing on the cake!
Kind of ironic a Tinman is calling out lack of heart, and isn't heart the biggest concern about the PF we ended up with? (As an aside SAR and Swift were by top FA choices, followed by Walker than Marshall). I am thrilled we have Swift, but until we see how he, Walker, SAR and DM all play out all season, if not a number of seasons, it is a really silly coversation to have. I won't say he is a cancer, but nor is he the kind of point guard that I think will ever lead a championship type team. I think Dre and Denver are both overrated, and they havn't seemed to fix the problems that always lead to their 1st round playoff exits when they do make the playoffs, and unless Melo turns into a top 5 player and playmaker, it will be no different this year.
