Quin Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Next game's starting lineup should be: Rose Johnson Deng (only because if he was benched, he'd be even more immovable) Asik Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Really happy Johnson performed well today, always been a big fan. Asik also showed he is going to be a solid contributer but Id still have him coming off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I wonder how hard Portland is kicking themselves for passing on Durant for Oden.. Which was worse.. Darko over Carmelo or Oden over Durant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was worse.. Darko over Carmelo or Oden over Durant? Darko over Carmelo, but Oden over Durant was a huge miss. They literally chose a good post guy when healthy (not often) over one of the best players if not the best in the game. HUGE fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 30, 2010 -> 09:19 PM) JJ has earned the SG spot. he played mostly SF/PF last season was walking around at 250lbs, which was way too big and slow for the SG spot. but i did hear that he lost a lot of weight this off season, anyone know anything about it? he does look a bit slimmer this season.

Which was worse.. Darko over Carmelo or Oden over Durant? Definitely Darko over Carmelo was worst. Oden just hasn't been healthy, and if he were, he probably would be one of the top defensive players in basketball and a double-double machine. Still probably not as good as Durant whom I think is overrated (seriously he shoots 40 times a game, he is gonna score a lot and doesn't play D. LeBron is still the better of the two, and it's not close, IMO). But health has been the reason for the bad pick unlike the Darko pick where Darko was just a bust.

He will probably deserve an All-Star berth this year. Rose is the consummate superstar. Always about the team, no ego whatsoever and always plays hard. Can't wait til we get Boozer back, it is gonna make this team dynamite. Three All-Star-caliber players. That's when Korver/Deng will be most dangerous when we have that low-post scoring threat to help spread the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that LeBron is the best player in the NBA and its not that close but Durant isn't overrated. He scores a lot of points and he does so efficiently. It is laughable that you say he only scores because he takes a ton of shots when his TS% is .607 which is terrific for a perimeter player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to hear, I still want to get something out of that guy. We stress it enough (same with Tyrus) over the years Balta. When a young player actually plays consistantly, he can succeed. JJ has a much better future than Tyrus though, because his BBall I.Q. is much, much higher. JJ was really good last night. This is also why I was very vocal on the Bulls acquiring another shooter. Pre-season is much different than the games that matter. Those shots Bogans and Deng were making in the pre-season when no one was guarding them.. won't happen as often when players actually give a s***. I would say it was more just a bad game for them (though that is the inconsistancy with Deng that were used to seeing) than them not hitting what they can't hit. Still costing Rose 3-5 assists a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
