Guys, Griffin was not snubbed. Heres why. They picked this team based on the ENTIRE season. From the tip off. And if you all remember correctly Eddie is just know within the last 2 or 3 weeks getting the prescious minutes he needs. Hell, if Kenny hadn't gotten hurt a couple of weeks ago, we might still not be seeing the young phenom, because he'd still be buried in our bench. Who's fault is that??????? Hint, Hint!!! Hall of Fame Coach...... If it was based on the past month or so these guys couldn't hold his jock strap. But honestly up until 2 or 3 weeks ago he couldn't hold there's. Not because they're more talented than him, we can all see he was the most talented in the draft hands down. He just wasn't getting any minutes. Now somebody tell me what the #%&* was Rudy thinkin about havin this guy buried on the bench for so long???? You mean to tell me Rudy didn't see some of the same stuff we're seeing in games, during training camp and practice???????????? You mean to tell me he just woke up one morning about 2 or 3 weeks ago and started blocking shots and rebounding??????? Give me a break. How this guy hasn't been playing all season is beyond me. Now that being said, the all star weekend rookie game, I can swallow. I'll give them that. Blame that one on our Hall of Fame Coach. But if this guy doesn't get the Rookie of the Year Trophy than we got beef. Legitimate Beef. I can't chalk that up to the game!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially if he continues playing like this, and he will, unless.............never mind. I'm not gonna go there.
Rudy hating was last week. This week it's Kenny Thomas with Cuttino Mobley as a special guest. Check the schedule next time.
I'm not worried about hatin Rudy, I'm just letting everyone know why our phenom was left out of All Star weekend. Period. The truth hurts sometimes.
behad, something tells me he picked Eddie for his Fantasy League and traded him 3 weeks ago by mistake. jshabang...this is nothing but a whining thread about individual honors and blaming a coach. You had 5 Griffin was snubbed threads to choose from. Why did you feel compelled to flood us with another one...just to say the same things that others are saying, but didn't in a thread title. sheesh. Merge these please, can we.
Am I the only one who's glad that Eddie isn't at the Rookie game. The game isn't really watched by that many people, so that means that there isn't a lot of exposure for our young phenom. But there is the chance that he lands wrong on a monstrous dunk and could potentially injure himself. Really, its not worth it.
Rudy is too old school. He still believes just because EG is a teenager he won't be able to perform as well as Kenny. But now he knows EG is a much better player and he actually passes the ball every once on the while. Wish I could say the same about Kenny.
Eddie Griffin Rules i kno. Just look at my name, but its 2 early 2 say ROY because like u said be4, its only been 2 3 weeks. Wut if (God Forbid) he gets hurt? then wut? If he continues at this pace then ya he probably will be ROY!
Rudy did right by not pushing him in the water too soon. Maybe we are seeing the build-up of confidence emerging and increased productivity due to Griffin's slow-paced assimilation into the league.
You do realize that you could've voted him in to the regular game by writing him in, don't you? So, how many times did you vote for him? It's not too late, you know. Assuming that you didn't write him in, doesn't that mean the blame could be put on you? Maybe the title of this thread should read: Griffin wasn't snubbed, it was jshabang's Fault". He didn't write him in. Here's the link. Get to writing. http://www.nba.com/allstar2002/AS_Ballot.html
I don't know about anyone else, but I can't be more pleased that jshabang took the time out of his busy schedule to enlighten us with his hurting pill of truth. It must have been very difficult for you to hurt us all with your truth like you did. You truly are a saint. You know, it is one thing to come on to this site spouting opinions. Every fool has one these days. But it is another thing to do it in a VERY redundant thread, and then to call those opinions truth.
Its F%&# with Jshabang day, and everyone's celebrating!!!!!! If your girl cheats, don't check the playa, check your girl. If you get bad news in the mail, don't kill the postman. Don't hate the player, hate the game!!!!!!!!!! If I serve you Hennesy at my crib, I'm gonna give it to you straight sorry i don't have a chaser.
