Troll- Nice call KT doesn't shoot 3s anymore. Thank you for bashing me for my opinion on Clark's game, when you're even further off on KT. KT's game consists off of the dribble face-ups (yeah, you should remember when he made a fool of Antonio Davis) and EXCELLENT foot work inside, with the ability to hit the open shot. For a PF, KT has one of the quickest first steps in the game. Clark does not have nearly the offensive reportoire that KT does.
Ooh, ooh, ooh....*paging RaptorsDynasty and flutie, paging RaptorsDynasty and flutie* Yea, these Raptors fans really flood the Rockets site, now, don't they? BTM: you have just acted like an ass towards 2 of the better Rockets posters on this site in NIKEstrad and tacoma park legend. They have more basketball knowledge in their damn pinky finger than you have in your whole body. Dogging them out is not going to help you be taken seriously here, at least not by posters who have been here for more than a month or so. Are you really a Rocket fan or a Raptors fan or a Keon Clark fan? I don't think I have ever seen you praise any Rocket player. Come to think of it, I haven't seen you bring any value to this board and i'm wondering if any of us will see this happen.
Ooh ooh, resort to insults when you have no arguement! Way to go, junior!!! Call me a troll all you want but it just shows you're not man enough to admit you're wrong. I'm saying KT HAS a 3pt shot if he needs it. The fact is, KT is a 6'7 SF. Keon is 6'11 and has the speed of 6'7 KT. See the difference? Whereas Keon can guard guys his own height, KT would need help every time down the floor guarding bigger guys. You basically described Keon's game except he can block shots, grab lots of boards, alter tons of shots and not be a liability on defence. Kenny can do that too but he'll always be a 6'7 tweener. Manny, you're such a child. Why should I respect people who don't respect me? Get a life, man. When someone says something r****ded you should get blasted for it. Or is this an "old boys club"? LOL Saying Keon only gets putbacks or layins is just r****ded. That just shows you're a ****ing boxscore watcher and not a real fan of the game. Until Nike can admit he is WRONG about that, he'll always be just a Rockets fan and not a true fan of the game. Don't make stupid statements when you're really just talking about your ass. If some other fan came on this board and saying Griffin only hits treys or KT only gets layins, you guys would be all over him. Or are you not man enough to admit that too? Your hypocrisy is laughable and you don't even realize it.
Who deserves praise on this team? They're like 15 games under .500 even with KT, Steve, Cuttino, Moochie and Cato having career years, not to mention the emergence of Griff. Even if Steve played the whole season I think they'd be around .500. Are you all over Cato's jock too? LOL "Oh Kelvin, you're actually doing what you're paid to do! I love you now! I hated you before but now I'm firmly parked on your bandwagon!"
Cato having a career year?? lol...it takes more than 5 to 6 games for a player, even one like Cato, to be considered having a career year. And I don't care how good the stats are, when you have missed 19 games, how can that be a career year? WTF??!! Talk about not looking at the boxscores, what the hell do you think you are doing by telling me, NIKEstrad, tpl or anyone else that? Moochie...a career year?? Puh-leese...yea, he's having one stats-wise, but there's more to it than points per game, BTM. The most "obvious" one that you failed to mention is Kenny Thomas. He's the one having the career year, but I'm not surprised that you failed to mention him. Yes, Cato has played well of late, but your comment is so asinine that it doesn't deserve a reply to it. As I said earlier, what value do you bring to this BBS, BTM? Absolutely nothing, zilch, nada, zero. So, why in the hell do you post here? Is it to piss people off? On the other hand, who really f*cking cares....compared to NIKEstrad, tpl, and others, I take your posts with a grain of salt. You'd be on my ignore list if it wasn't for the fact that I enjoy a good laugh now and then. I must keep it down though, I don't want to disturb my co-workers.
Manny, you're just a coward. You're running away. Don't let the door of reason slap your ass on the way out! And if you read my post again, you'll realize I said KT is having a career year. Read it again!!! LOL What a goof. Did you think I was talking about Kurt Thomas?!!? Way to contradict yourself there. If you take my posts "with a grain of salt", why do you bother arguing? With all the clutch shots Mooch's been hitting this year, I'd say it's a career year. Not to mention how he's stepped up w/ Steve being out, especially on nights where half the team never showed up.
Bellow are Keon Clark and Kenny Thomas stats per 48 min. K. Clark 24.3/MinG 48FG% 19.9/Pt48 15.0/Reb48 2.1/Ass48 1.26/Stl48 3.46/Blks48 K. Thomas 34/MinG 48FG% 19.8/Pt48 9.5/Reb48 2.5/Ass48 1.80/Stl48 1.06/Blks48 Kenny and Keons numbers are very close in all categories except a difference in rebounding and block shots where Keon has a decisive advantage. So how can you say that Kenny is a better player. Keon is by far a more effective big man more than tripling Kenny's block shots and 55% more rebounds. Also this doesn't count the number of changed/missed shots that Keon forces. Their scoring numbers are very comparable but Keon is not a primary offensive option for Toronto while Kenny is for us. Keon has the same quick feet that Kenny does but he finishes better than Kenny because he is taller and jumps higher. Keon is simply a much better athelete with a much higher ceiling as a basketball player.
Keon's skills are a lot more unique than Kenny's because he's a 6'11 PF and Kenny is a 6'7 tweener. There's plenty of guys in the league that can do the things Kenny can do. You don't think if a guy like Ricky Davis played the 4 he couldn't take Antonio Davis off the dribble to the basket? Keon's 4 inches taller w/ like a 7'6 wingspan and he can do things that SFs or SGs can do. Also, on a team like this where the leading rebounder is a PG not named Magic Johnson, Keon would probably come close to leading the league in rebounding. WoodlandsBoy, thank you for posting this.
Alright, I was pissed when I first posted this, but it's not worth getting upset over. BTM, I made a mistake. I'm big enough to say that I'm wrong. I could have sworn that you left him off but I guess I was wrong. I don't have a problem admitting that. I do have a problem with your overall attitude. If you want to keep insulting me, email me....it ain't hard, you can use the BBS and the little letter icon on my post. It would be better to do that than waste bandwidth space here. BTW - When Jordan was hurt in his 2nd or 3rd year in the league, do you think that he had a career year?
Uh, Kenny has just begun his coversion to SF about 7 games ago. Ricky Davis to Kenny Thomas? Please. Thomas can bang down low, Davis can't. Antonio Davis would only guard Ricky Davis on a switch, he spent the whole night against Kenny. You are trolling right now. That's not an insult, it's more or less a fact. Saying I have no argument when I laid one down for you? Your lack of expertise on Kenny Thomas is much more apparent than mine of Clark. Kenny has taken all of 10 3 pointers this year, and missed all 10. Representing that as a facet of his game is simply wrong, and shows you haven't spent enough time watching KT...considering how you're trying to lay into me for that, the pot is calling the kettle block, no? Calling Kenny a SF is a huge mistake. There was NO WAY he could have played SF the past 2 years because his frame was much bulkier. Only this year he slimmed down, and that's why he's doing what he's doing. He played exclusively PF prior to about 7 games ago. And I'm off to edit my ignore list...wow, I think this my 2nd person, ironically both Raptor trolls.
If trolling means stating facts and attacking ignorance, call me Shrek. btw- Anyone catch Keon today? Crapy 1st half but he comes back and scores 14pts in the 4th quarter against Toine Walker to beat the Celtics.
