Don't get too high on Boki. The word at Westside is that Boki may not be as good as Dan Langhi -- and we all know how Langhi performed during the regular season. So don't get your hopes to high just yet on Boki.
I have heard no reports that Boki is even playing at Westside, and I'm sorry if your name doesn't instill great confidence in me. If you had ever seen footage of Boki slashing to the hole and jamming the ball you would not make Langhi comparisons. Boki also had a hernia surgery this summer and is still not 100% but is getting close so if he is not quite up to par yet I can understand. So in short I will keep my high hopes for Boki, and as for you as a reputable source of information on events at Westside I have no hope at all.
you'll have to excuse my friend (meaning me), he's a little slow. but i missed something here. how do you all know that westside_spy is troybaros?
I'd guess that he's extremely pessimistic. Troy was like that, from what little I read. Steve wanted to leave, MO was 500lbs, Yao would kill the Rockets, Cat wanted to eat some steak, Moochie flew into space and died, you know, stupid things. (btw, I just made most of these up. He didn't really say ALL of them.)
No, I THINK he's been in Houston for a while. I want to say his clearance to play basketball just happened, and he may be playing pick-up games at Westside. Or maybe he's traveling to the North Pole. I don't know for sure.
Not to turn this into a "TroyBaros nostalgia" thread LOL, but Troy gained notoriety for more than his pessimism; if i'm not mistaken, he had access to some inner circles among the Rockets players, in particular Stevie, and he shared and relayed Stevie's alleged negative, pre-WC opinion of Yao. I haven't seen Troy post much since a few weeks before the WC's. Does westside_spy spell the end of TroyBaros? RIP TroyBaros -- July 30, 2001 to July 9, 2002 Not quite a year old *sniffle* And he was such a sweet boy **sniffle sniffle**
from here on out we should just refer to Troy as a liar, and a pedophile. That way, even if he was correct, he'll never experience the satisfaction of having had other people believe him (well I believed him at the time, but that was before I learned he was a liar, and a pedophile).
Scrwooowy Wabbit, how can a 12yr old kid who simply likes other kids be a pedophile?? Now necrophile, dat he may be
Yeah like were gonna take you serious with a name like "westside spy" and your first post like that. You obviously just made that nick to post that particular message. Your probably some pissed off nuggets fan who is still sulking cause your team picked Tskitishvili instead of Nachbar.
I read this thread when it was current but it kind of died out. Is there any more reliable Boki info?
I have the upmost confidence in Boki. From the clips of him that I've seen to the report of his lights out shooting perfomance when he worked out for us, I think he's gonna be an axcellent player. Now I have some problems w/ the rest of the article. The Rocks ae one of the most untalented teams in the L? Yeah Mobes, sucks even though he was 5th in the L in scoring after the AS break. Griffin didn't show any flashes of talent in his rookie season. Ming only averages 21 & P at the WC's so he's gonna be a bust. Mo T and KT aren't even average players and Mooch is the worst backup PG in the game. Thats ridiculious! We have more "talent" than the Knicks, Heat, Jazz, Sonics, TWolves, Wizards, and the list goes on. Just read my sig, once all of our talent matures and melds together, the return of Cluthc City will be complete.
Just like I posted previously, dont get too high on Boki -- he is not as good as Dan Langhi. You saw a glimpse of that last night. He is not as athletic as Langhi, and he is definitely not ready defensively --- he was abused by Stephen Jackson -- a role-player at best for the Spurs. The total lack of defense, not too mention the missed wide-open jumpers by a supposedly great shooter doesnt look good for Boki. And with TMo showing signifcant improvement means Boki will spends lots of time in Langhi's old spot -- at the end of the bench. I guess the early reports from Westside were accurate --- Boki is a "less athletic Dan Langhi" at best.
