knightni Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Looks like Team USA is short big men for the Olympics. Maybe Andrew Bynum will be someone USA could look at. Roy Hibbert wants to join, but he has a contract with Team Jamaica. Meanwhile, JaVale McGee wants to join Team Philippines. Is Noah playing for France this year?

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I guess I'll say it because nobody else has or will...the Spurs are pretty f***ing good. 27-2 in their last 29 games dating back to the regular season. I can't even put into words what Popovich has done with that team. How he was able to balance trying to win games while at the same time getting a sufficient amount of rest for his key guys (i.e. benching Duncan for being old at times) to keep them healthy and fresh for the playoffs defies explanation. Duncan hasn't looked this good in years. Thunder/Spurs is going to be one f***ing awesome conference final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would lean Pery Jones. Drummond is at least big and athletic so he should stick in the league even with no real offensive development. Jones seems to be a SG trapped in a PF's body, so he strikes me as another Marvin Williams (props to Steve for the easy comparison instead of me writing 3 paragraphs to get the same point across).

The reason all you hear is Bulls, Bulls, Bulls f*** the Heat is the NBA was f***ing terrible this year, and these playoffs have been just as brutal. The only interesting series going on right now is, I guess, Heat/Pacers? And that f***ing sucks! We all know the Thunder will roll. We all know the Spurs will roll. I don't really care about anything East right now, which is so weird. It's just a s***ty sport right now, sadly. The schedule this year ruined the entire season, it wore down some of the greatest players in the game, and it just stunk. That's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Sullinger is going to be a massive bust. If Sean May couldn't make it, I don't know how Sullinger will. I also think the idea of Thomas Robinson being the 2nd pick in the draft is crazy.

Jake Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Meyers Leonard is going to need a strong coach, which is why I hope he ends up with the Bulls (there's no way this happens without a trade or something obviously). If left to his own devices, he's going to not hustle enough, not get in the paint enough, get caught sleeping on defense, basically be Amare Stoudamire. But the dude has mega-talent. He has post moves and is awesomely athletic at 7 foot tall, 250 pounds. He is just an attitude change away from being an elite defensive player and already is at least a decent offensive player. Sullinger > May. I don't know how good Sullinger is going to be, but he's taller and more athletic than Sean May. I couldn't believe anyone would waste a draft pick on Sean May.
