Francis "not sure" how he'd react to an extension with Rockets

gettingbranded, Mo isn't good enough to start PF on ANY champioship team. We won't win a championship with him at the 4. Mo isn't a huge upgrade over Kenny Thomas.

Why? Duncan, Wallace, Garnett, Webber, Jamison, Nowitzki and Malone would dunk all over him for years to come. Hell, even Juwan Howard would be better.

 

I'll admit you surprised me with that answer. Give me more detail---why?

Whats do you see in him...and is it HIM or is it him with Francis?

 

You're a putz. Fall back into the hole you climbed out of.

 

Well now...I'm interested in the responses to this.

 

omg that hurt so much..

 

yea and i'm interested on how the bulls aren't demoted to playing 5A high school ball
bullwhipped hahaha! awesome!

 

I can guarantee you that if the Rocks had had a top 5 pick, Griff would be playing for another team this summer. Thats not to take anything away from Griff, I think he has the potential to be a great player. Thats just to say don't knock our players because they have just as much.

 

sorry gb read some of the clutchcity archives, RT said he would've picked griff with the no. 1 pick. oh wait, i forgot, with your infinite bball knowledge you know the truth right?..man i feel so dumb in your presence. please teach me I don't know bball like you.

 

Cat---You see something in Mo I didn't. Soooo...I guess Griff was drafted to play the three? It won't hurt him to learn both spots...


SRF---Thanks for giving me an opportunity to figure out how the ignore list feature works.

What's up with your handle? Is "gettinbranded" mean getting schooled on the court by Brand? Or is it you expressing anger for having Brand swept out to the Clippers? (This is not a jab-- just a question?)

 

It's a handle I came up with during his rookie season. I could switch to chief adfizer, but he might not be around long either

 

gb-Disagree with you on Griff. Maybe not #1 like they claim, but Rudy was on 610 being interviewed the day before the draft. They asked him who he would draft and he responded that he wasn't sure. He mentioned 4 names-Griffin was among them. I think the other 3 were Brown, Curry, and Chandler, but could be mistaken (Battier, maybe?).

In a perfect world, Griffin grows an inch or so (he's 6'10'' right now w/o shoes I think), and becomes a 5. He has the frame to put on the weight, and the skills to be Ratliff-like on defense, with a go to move (turnaround) on offense, and some outside range. If not, the thing about Mo Taylor that would make Griff/Taylor a more successful 3/4 than Fizer/Brand, is that Mo plays a mid range game, which Brand could not, thus forcing that on Fizer all the time. Griffin is also quicker than Fizer.

If Ron Harper (Lakers) can be a starting guard, Longley a starting center, and Avery Johnson a starting PG, then Mo Taylor can be a starting PF, assuming he recovers well. Mo has excellent dribbling skills for a PF, and a good shot. His defense isn't as bad as it's cracked up to be, and if he was a great rebounder, I guarantee he'd be very close to a max contract. No team will put out 5 prototype stud players, that play well together. Mo plays well with the team, because he's an offensive weapon that does not require the ball, and can free Cat/Steve, or burn opposing teams for collapsing (see first quarter of just about any game). He is (was?) one of the most talented offensive players in the league, in terms of the variety of things he can do.

You can't blame the team or player for a guy having a freak injury

 

Hey...a respectful post. I like that.

I liked Griff for the Bulls as well, but after Brown, Curry and Chandler. As I said...he has the chance to be an excellent player in this league. I've always said that you need two all-NBA players and another among the best in the league at his position to consistantly win rings in the NBA (the Lakers blew that apart). IF Stevie stays, and Eddie plays up to his ability sooner than later, and Mo is all Cat makes him out to be---yeah, you all might be there.

And believe me---I know about freak injuries. Theres a PG on our roster who everyone in chi-town thought was ready for a breakout season that went down this summer.

 

yea right, thats like Hitler saying he likes peace....

 

Cat, the big PFs didn't win because the Lakers doubled them effectively and Shaq was there. Come on...

Oh yeah, Mo Taylor had everything to do with "stopping" the big PFs. How about some good help defence? Mo couldn't defend high ground from a waterfall.
