You have itunes. We all know the show works on itunes.

Where are your internet street smarts!

My main computer’s hard drive had died 3 weeks ago. So as of late I’ve been using my laptop, and for some reason the built in player on the site doesn’t work with it (my guess is some vista codec compatibility, had the same issue for a long time even with my main computer).

The new hard drive arrived a few days ago and today I’m making an effort to recover all the data I can and then reinstall windows. Once that’s done I’ll finally have use of my real computer.

I suppose I probably should have said this a while ago, but I didn’t expect anyone would really have cared whether I called in during that 3 week span.

If you did you would have called in for the Guest Host Contest.

@ Darian! You too! Didnt even call in… SAD!!!!

LeBron scored only 2 points during that 10 minute stretch including several turnovers and getting his shot blocked 3 times.

DWade’s nothing in comparison. Afflalo guarded the current MVP, and he did it probably better than anyone on the team.

I just don’t get why Dumars refuses to deal Tayshaun to Portland when we already have all these smallforwards.

Washington has the tools to be a big time defender. Afflalo already was a big time defender; he was even put on DWade a few times. Not a shot blocker, but he also had a much better shooting touch.

Big scorer? Maybe not. But I do see him making a huge impact on the court in the near future.

He’s like Rip in that he’s very active. But his abilities are very different from Rip’s. He does everything that Rip doesn’t do.

He’s very explosive! (i love typing that word). He also gets his hands on a lot of rebounds for a guy his size. And pimpscwalla believes that Mr. Washington he has the tools to be a big time defender. With his two year contract, he’ll definitely get the opportunity to show it.

But MVP Nate? I don’t know about that one homie!

His combine numbers were good, good leaping ability, great sprint time for a big man, and he’s strong (20 reps at the bench press). I would like to see how much he can squat, all your power comes from the legs (which is what Amir lacked).

However this guy plays no defense and it shows. His rebound rate is 10 per 48, his opponents at a rate of 18 per 48. Those numbers are especially bad because he played in the super-number-inflated D’Antoni system and that he played under 20 minutes a game.

According to Keith Langlois’ numbers, we had $3.5 mil from the Afflalo give away. After this we still have approximately $.5 mil, meaning we could still sign Wallace (you need at least $.3 mil because of the roster spot cap hold). Also you could in theory sign Dwayne Jones of the D-League with the remaining amount to a 1 year deal to let him prove himself. He’s a monster rebounding big that is solely about defense.

Perhaps Ben could teach him about defense and rebounding, this guy has the potential. But up until now, he hasn’t played with much intensity and it shows.

If Dumars wasn’t stubborn enough to trade DJ White to get Sharpe, we could have kept Afflalo and had a solid big man. Not to mention, Afflalo would have been a fine SG back up and that Gordon money should have been put towards a legit big man in the first place.

Perhaps I’m biased because Arron was the only one not named Will Bynum or Antonio McDyess that played with heart last year, but I think he has a lot of upside in him. He showed that he works hard night in and night out, plays defense (something Wilcox doesn’t do) and also drastically improved over his rookie year.

You wait, Afflalo will start for Denver by the end of the year and will make Dumars look like an idiot.

Hopefully Wilcox will surprise me - I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about him - but I’m still steamed for the loss of Afflalo; Denver must love stealing our assets.

But I can see a Turkoglu Daye comparison; remember Daye has always looked up to Tayshaun.

I’d like to see how they do in the actual NBA before I can truly judge whether they can start down the road. Right now Summers is looking like a solid first big off the bench, tough call on Daye. He’s much tougher than I anticipated due to his poor combine and mediocre college numbers. But he still is very turnover and foul prone, in fact one game he nearly had a quintuple double counting (turnovers, points,, rebounds, fouls and assists).

Yeah, I’m excited about Daye and Dajuan too! Hell, we might have are own version of Hedo and Lewis.

Do your thing Joe D!

Just sad

Also with the monster that Anthony Randolph is turning into, I’d like to make a play at Richard Hendrix. He’s a bit smaller, but is also a very rebounding big that plays defense. I bet that GS would probably be willing to trade him for 2 second round picks for the reason I stated above.

So you could gamble and take on a few younger players that are better defenders, or you could take Gooden and deal with his problems. Either way you shore up the front line.

“At the conclusion of the Warriors/Hornets game, a crowd of kids gathers to try and get an autograph from Morrow. Morrow finishes with media and throws his jersey into the throng of kids, only to have them lunge at it and break the security barricade fighting for it. A younger fan desperately clutches the jersey while another fan struggles to rip it away from him.

While this scene is unfolding, I am interviewing Steph Curry and the two of us stop to watch what’s going on. We are both a little unsure of what to do to comfort the boy who is about to cry. Curry then stops the interview, goes over and gives the boy who lost out on the jersey his game-worn shoe.”

Talk about a nice thing to do. I’m sure the shoes were meaningless to Curry, but they meant the world to the kid.

Last I heard, Boston intends to match any offer below the MLE for big baby.

My bet is on Drew Gooden. He’s the best rebounder out of the group, and even if he does have problems with not giving his best, I’ll take that over what’s left. Also Gooden does have a decent post game; it’s not anything you can rely on, but it does mean you can take CV31 off the court and still get a few points from your front line.

More importantly, if you sign Ben for the veterans minimum, you just gave yourself an actual front line.

Without those guys, this is a lottery team waiting to happen. No frontline = no defense. But if Dumars can pull off those moves, and Summers + Jerebko do a decent job at the 4, I think this team could get 45 wins. Perhaps even 50 if Kuester can help Stuckey run the offense.
