    Novak's awesome, but I wouldn't read too much into that. My boy, Alan Daniels, dropped 41 on Memphis with Rodney Carney in his grill the entire time. Carney just missed the lottery, Daniels is playing for TDShop.it Livorno of the Italian league.

    if he makes the rotation, he'll be in the rookie game.

    3pt shooters can put up points fast. just give him minutes and he will score the ball.

    If he can play D i think JVG will definitely find some minutes for him this year just because him being able to shoot helps out yao and tracy so much

    I don't understand the point of this post.

    Why come into an identical topic to point that out when it already has 24 replies and your original thread has only 7? It's obvious which one caught on and which one never got rolling, so why bother pointing out that you posted it first? Just let it be.

    Get what I'm saying?

    Thanks for the backup. :p

    It's the same deal as any other duplicate thread ClutchCityReturns. No disrespect to anyone.

    If Novak can just be so-so on D, he's out there. He contributes more than just shooting 3's, but a presence. When he's out there, opponents will learn quickly that double team is a mistake.

    Sometimes they get merged. DD's right about the BBS etiquette, however.

    i just wonder if he will get enough minutes / shots up. if he gets enough shots to qualify, he'll be there, and WIN IT!

    Just remember to hate hate HATE the Jailblazers, because THEY are the ones who screwed us out of getting Roy.

    Don't ANYONE forget that. Portland is Numero Uno on our KILL THEM EVERY GAME list this season (and probably for the next ten seasons, frankly).

    Actually, DD, is because the original poster has a small penis and needs to be "that guy." I understand and support the use of mederators on this BBS. But some folks take it too far. Maybe the first post sucked and should be locked. The second one is obviously more popular...

    if the Rox got Brandon, they wouldn't have gotten Super-Duper Shane. they wouldn't have traded Stro. JuHow would still be starting. they wouldn't have traded for Snyder, and they probably would have missed out or passed on Wells. plus, how well Roy does is all speculation at this point. i don't think he'll be a runaway ROY (no pun intended :D ) this year like Chris Paul.

    all in all, i'm just glad that it worked out the way it did. it almost couldn't have worked out better.

    oh yeah, and if Novak can just be a 6' 9" Steve Kerr, he will get minutes on the court.

    well JVG said it himself. he wants a shooter at the 4. novak will be in the rotation, and will be in the rookie game!

    at least i hope i'm right.
