To morons who know nothing about the game of basketball....but to anyone who understands the game....they could see the potential....I am not surprised that you couldn't, though. DD
For the record, I actually agree with DD about Spanoulis. I know I'm one of few. I also know how bad his stats were during his brief stint here and I've heard the arguments from guys like Sam Fisher. Without getting into it again, if you told me right now I could swap Alston for Spanoulis, I do it without thinking twice.
Awesome. DaDakota has managed to derail his own thread reading too far into some column filler about Tracy McGrady into a "Why JVG hate V-Span?" thread. I'm not even sure how that's possible. (To get this back on topic and use your favorite stat, TMac and Brooks have a better 2P% than V-Span.)
The guy was a rookie, rarely do players peek as rookies that was my entire take that to play him would have benefited the team down the road. He again proved his abilities during the Olympics, but people will still bash him even though he rarely played on the Rockets.....oh well, knowing the truth of the matter does not make one popular. I still believe that...but......he is gone....no derailment necessary, Tmac is the one being called out here. He is the one that needs to be the Tmac of the USA. DD
Just because you (DD) are a moron doesn't mean you have the capacity to detect your own kind, well because you're, you know, a moron... v3.0 who understands the game
The difference is that I understand the game, while you understand nothing but personal insults. Don't you have some thread about Yao being UNCLUTCH to post in? I have not changed my opinion, but you have to move on......and this thread is about TMac. DD
I'm just talking down to your level. Ummmm....who brought up VSpan first in this thread, seems it was you...
You couldn't reach up to my level if you were standing on the top of the tower of Babel. Vspan had a great Olympics BTW. Nick asked whom was a high risk high reward player under JVG, and I said VSpan which JVG said himself. DD
I don't think there's enough mind altering drugs and hallucinogens in the world to get me into that make believe world that you're always in. Are we talking about VSPan again? And I said VSpan was clueless and presumptious, which I was right.
Nope we are talking about Tmac and him getting called out by Feigen. You need something V, because you have no clue about building a roster or the game of basketball. I mean you said Yao was unclutch, yet his FT percentage is off the charts....typical view of a casual fan. DD
Au contraire, you have proven over and over again that your lack of bball knowledge is glaring. Yao hitting FT's is clutch? That is a stupid conclusion. He's proven to hit his FT's. Big deal. I'd like to see him finish games off and hit shots to ice games. Maybe grab an important rebound when we need it. But he hits his FT's and he's declared clutch....LOL So we gonna drag that conversation into your TMac smear thread?
Larry Brown would have been expensive but fit the bill perfect for this team. Wouldnt even be talking about any McGrady drama. Cuz Brown would be too busy stirring up dramas of his own for everyone to focus on. In regards to Van Gundy's risk aversion, I thought as dumb and goofy and times non-dependable as Stromile Swift was he about a 5.4 to Juwan Howard's 5.2. Bonzi, nothing more needs to be said about that. McGrady and his personal issues...well, guess the Darfur thing couldnt offer enough life perspective. He need to visit Baghdad to see his problems are livable? Maybe reading the Ron Artest bio will reveal that its not that problems happen, but how you choose to handle them.
In the offices a few feet away, a day after McGrady had said his sore left knee had felt “pretty good” only to be unable to play a day later, McGrady was in a long, pregame meeting with Rockets coach Rick Adelman and general manager Daryl Morey, discussing his decision and plans. Morey said Sunday that McGrady vowed in that pregame meeting to return fully committed to playing, likely beginning tonight against the Washington Wizards, and to playing with energy and intensity. But the Rockets’ season of uncertainty — as the news that McGrady could not play spread, Ron Artest changed his mind to say he could — had grown stranger and more unpredictable. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6184778.html don't read so good imo. i'm a little worried.
