    you obviously missed the point...for example...when Utah plays Sactown, Webber and Malone may guard each other sporadically so that neither gets in to foul trouble....especially Webber being that Malone gets a lot of cheap calls in his favor and Webber does not. Do you think that when the Lakers play Miami that Zo (Miami's best defensive player) guards Shaq? No...he guards Walker and Grant guards Shaq so as to keep Zo out of foul troule. The same thing happens a lot around the league...not just with Shaq

    I'm saying it IS being done as we speak. Give or take a basket and we basically have been getting those totals already from other players. WHAT IS MO BRINGING TO THE TABLE THAT WE DONT ALREADY HAVE??? Zippo, Zilch, nada....and because of that, I do not feel that his presence will make us better

    drc3906,

    For a long time lurker, you really picked a negative reply, in a thread gone really bad, and even worse, you chose a bad moniker...hehe I hate the numbers people and the weird capitalization people. It is annoying and makes me want to bash you out of habit.

    But now that you've crossed that line, post some more. Go ahead, annoy someone and give kudos more often...we need you. Besides, you started it. ;)

    also, CriscoKidd

    Leave the house...now. Grab your basketball and go sweat on someone! :D

    The way MoT always starts out hot makes me wonder if he wouldn't be better comming off of the bench as opposed to KT, egos aside.

    I love Kenny but he's not the answer, he's a tweener, and we'd be better off with a pure 3.

    If i'm playing GM, I trade KT for 19 yr old Wallace, draft Wilcox or Stoudemire and add water. I've said it before, but we won't be contenders until EG is fully developed and the backcourt has matured. I know watching Houston plain suck now is hard, but that's the price you pay. I'd like to see a vet pg come in and help now, say Avery Johnson or Mark Jackson.

    That would be real nice. We haven't had that situation since Kenny left.

    I just want so veteran leadership, and at some point, you can't keep going to the draft to improve your team. Our rebuilding period is over. We need to add leadership and develop the talent we already have.

    Also, people need to remember one thing about Kenny Thomas. He has been playing with Steve and Cuttino longer than anyone on the team. Chemistry is extreemly important, and I would not want to get rid of either of those 3.

    We can use the draft to trade for leadership. We already have the talent.

    Gezz, thanks for the insult and I forgive you. Happy Easter Crispee.

    P.S--- I will take your advice and post more often. I don't know why I didn't post on here before. I mean, I have posted on "THE ROCKETGUY'S" message board many times, but never here. That will change. Me and crispee are going to be bestest friends. Ain't we crispee. Teeheehee. Again, Happy Easter crispee and I want to bash you too.


    By the way, MoT rules and so does Steve and Cuttino!

    I re-read your reply and am debating if you were insulting me or not. If you weren't then ignore my last post and I owe an apology. If you were insulting me then my last post stands.
    Happy Easter

    P.S. what's a moniker

    I re-read your reply, both of them, and am debating whether or not I should have insulted Crisco more than I did.

    btw: a moniker is the silly looking AOL-ish thing you go by on this board. ;) How am I going to remember you in a sea of L'ilStevie2000K s? plus it is hard to type. grrrrr but not as bad as

    yah definitely welcome to the board drc3906. More the merrier. And don't worry about misinterpreting Crispee's post. People who stare at his posts too long go crazy and something something something ...

    Crispee, I took your advice, but now I'm slipping out of my chair. :eek:
