For Rose vs. Westbrook, I would say pre-injury Rose > Westbrook. Have to wait and see how Rose returns from ACL.
The only thing I don't like about Westbrook is that he gambles too much defensively. Got a bit of the Allen Iverson build-my-steal-numbers in him. He could be more effective being...
Still very early. I think they'll be alright long run.
Defense will get sorted out over time, Mike Brown's always been a good defensive coach. Just takes time to implement his systems and schemes.
Offensively, I think they need to find a balance between Steve Nash doing Nash things (high PnR...
Hey,
It's good to see the majority of you are seeing him the way I always saw him. He has no one to scapegoat this time and I was initially worried that he was going to lay this all on Jim Styne's name and find another way to survive.
I saw what he did in his time at Fremantle and I...
Arggh... had to laugh at Westbrook. Got caught cheating the screen.
He guessed Parker was coming 'round to the strong side. By the time he realized no one was there, Parker had already gone past two picks on the weakside. lol.
Reminiscent of the Finals last year when he fell asleep on the...
Specifically, I was responding to yours (and others) argument that no one is more athletic than Jordan. Again, no one is their right mind would ever say LeBron is better or has surpassed Michael. That's insane.
I think it's impossible to watch those videos (in response to the Jordan video...
Yeah, I know. Those NTTAWWTter Melbourne supporters don't have a Honey_Badger or someone of the like to put together real highlight videos. Useless supporters obviously.
I'll follow the Thunder and Jazz as much as possible. Thunder for obvious reasons. Jazz, because I like how they've built their team, particularly Kanter - I think he will be a legit 18/10 post option in the league.
Always have one eye on Popovich and the Spurs.
Heat are always watchable...
The speed of basketball today is far greater than any era previous. Every era, the athletism goes up a notch, there's no questioning that.
Nothing... he just jumped THROUGH another pro athlete... everyone can do it.
Wait, you don't think that's impressive?
No one ever mentions that there was no 3 second rule in Russell/Wilt's time.
Different eras, different rules, different levels of athletes. Unfair to compare.
In 20 years, the game and the human race will evolve just that little bit more and we'll see another super human athlete who...
Simply amazing episode.
Almost let down by Finn/Dana story. Literally rolled my eyes when they hit the pedestrian. How predictable was that.
Carrie/Brody scenes were superb. Particularly Damian Lewis' acting, I lingered on every word he spoke, every facial expression. Couldn't tell if Carrie...
When his career is finished, he will be part of that conversation. Greatest six will become greatest seven.
And for the youtube comparisons, I think watching LeBron's highlight dunks are just as impressive. LeBron over Tim Duncan is just as jump out of your seat, smack your face in disbelief...
Presti's M.O. has always been about building for the mid-long term. It's not about going all-in for the c'ship in one year, but giving yourself a legit shot over 3-4 years. AKA the San Antonio model.
Whether you agree or disagree... his philosophies and his moves so far have been beyond...
Yeah, he is.
He's bigger, stronger and has greater open court speed. Jordan was an incredible physical specimen, but LeBron is the next evolutionary step. Barkley said the same thing recently.
Saying LeBron has "The indominable will to conquer" is a bit premature but I haven't read the...
I might be wrong, but I think Harden will be found out when he's the no.1 option. Still a good player, potential All-star calibre, but I get the feeling he will join the likes of Iggy and Eric Gordon as guys who get the max but aren't franchise players.
He has been terrible in the pre season...
Not surprised they pulled the trigger. Presti never (NEVER) lets assets walk for nothing. Jeff Green was the precedent. Even guys like DJ White and BJ Mullens were traded for high 2nd rounders in their final years.
and Harden's insistence on the max is not right when Westbrook sacrificed money...
Pass mark for me.
Wellingham - Paid slightly overs and paid too quickly. Small minus.
Cripps - Essentially traded him for Koby. Small plus.
Morton - No brainer. His 2012 was a disaster but his first two years were promising. Solid plus.
Can't do anything about Lynch and Swift leaving...
I thought the same of Matt Rosa a couple years ago.
Took him a while but he's got that in spades now.
He'll never be a Viney or a Kerr, but "toughness" can be developed.
Rapt with this. Low (no) risk/medium reward trade.
Always thought he was a Matt Rosa type. Never going to be elite, but could be a handy 14-25 on our list.
Forget his draft position and temper the expectations and he will be a success imo.
Adelaide prelim at AAMI springs to mind. Knowing that we had their measure and we were going to come back and then actually doing it.
From the current group, it's definitely NicNat vs. Hawthorn in the rain. A star is born, Campbell Brown with his tough guy routine, Luke Hodge picking NN up and...
Here are my thoughts on the remaining contestants.
Samantha Jade - Am I the only one who didn't dig her performance? The "edgiest" part of her performance where the pelvic thrusts of her male dancers. Yeah, she looked super hot (no debate there), but it was a poor man's version of Kylie. Maybe...
+1 on Claire Danes acting. Last scene was intense.
I criticised last week's episode because it moved no where and had no lasting consequences... well well well.
The Mike angle is interesting as well. I can't wait 'til he finds out Brody isn't CIA.
The only thing I didn't like (and it's...
It is the greatest finale episode I've seen period.
Some of the middle seasons are a bit hit and miss for mine. But the Amadillo season (season 2 I think?) was 10/10 for me, equal to any season of The Wire, Sopranos etc.
Haha yeah I thought so too! Like he was going to become the next Dexter.
I love Mick, but honestly, he has to find a way to let it go.
So he got dumped for the younger, prettier ex girlfriend.
s**t happens. Time to move on.
Also surprised at how quickly Collingwood supporters have turned on him. He turned your club from a shithole to one of the most respected...
