you or somebody else has made this comment in the past. what the hell do you meanby it do you have any idea the value of that bridge. it is one of the finest architectural monuments on earth. are you comparing it with hurricane prone or eroding beachfront property? i'm curious.
It's refreshing to hear JVG talk about offense. I'm almost giddy thinking about how well-oiled our offense can be. We've got finishers, catch and shoot players, a fast break PG, and a damn good center to hold it all down. Good ball movement is the key. And pushing the ball up should make things a lot easier. I'd like to use up a lot of the shot clock, but if a fast break layup opportunity presents itself, why not? And to think I was getting nervous about how our offense would run. I was honestly about to start suggesting a Princeton or Triangle offensive scheme. Although both of those would still be viable for our half-court offense. The few times I saw something that looked like the triangle being used Yao always ended up with the ball close to the basket, one-on-one against a defender. Needless to say, he scored.
It's a reference to being swindled. http://www.nyctourist.com/bridge2.htm "The Brooklyn Bridge has also been a famous sales tool. You've heard the expression, 'Have I got a bridge to sell you.' It all got started right here when a grifter conned someone into believing the bridge could be sold and the legend began. "
that's an article worthy of Clutch. Nice read, informative & had good bits of humour in there too. I loved this line:
Along the same lines as George Strait's, I've got some "Ocean Front Property in Arizona" from my front porch you can see the sea, and if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in Free.
Yep, like Pat Riley says "Out-rebound a team and you'll win 75% of the time or more - Out score a team and you'll win 100% of the time."
I hope that their "peers around the NBA" keep expecting the Rox to be as slow as continental drift, so they will stay unprepared for the onslaught... we need ninja stealth speed! So we can be like m_cable's description of Rafer, "he might be running fast, but he doesn't look like he's running fast."
Why do you love that line and what is the meaning of "continental drift"? You know, I missed that the first time. I am not sure m_cable realise what he wrote though I kinda understand that he mean't that we will average somewhere in the neighborhood of 105 PPG. Nice catch
If you had Grandmama, Ward, aging Ewing and Oakman on you team as your core players (of course with Spree and Alan) you would not be asking this. That team majorly over-achieved and did most of it hiding or disguising their weakness (scoring, good shooting and an offensive balance) forcing folks to focus on the oft stingy "D". JVG has now gone through a renaissance thanks to the better quality of players at his disposal. Sura, Wesley and Barry were the catalysts to this great offensive movement (not Tmac or Yao as many would like to believe - Yao and Mac were constants that could be readily be accounted for consistently). These players may not necessarily be household names accross America but the jolt their style and selflessness gave to our offense and team spirit in general was/is invaluable to our bottomline. Nuff said.
Wow. Quiet defensive you are. Maybe if you read the original quote I was referring to carefully, you would know who I was talking about. I was talking about Riley and his Knicks teams. He emphasized defense. His knicks were horrendous to watch on offense. That is why it's ironic that he was preaching offense in that quote.
Bah. How do you refer to 100-109 as a range? Anything else and it would be easy; 110's, 120's, 130's etc. Grumble, grumble, grumble.
Given the glut we have at the 2 spot, and the potential for fast breaks, I wonder if JVG will experiment with "small-ball" lineups like Phoenix did with Kidd, KJ, et al, in the late 90's
