An hour sounds like a good idea, by the time people get there and it’s all ready to go the discussion hardly starts before it’s over.

Sorry once again for missing yesterday.

It will be a full hour next week. 30 mins goes by too fast!!!

I hope it’s gonna be uploaded on the site too!

Honestly, I’m excited about the show because I’m expecting alot of calls!

Dont disappoint me!

Oh yeah anyone who is free and doesn’t listen to the show is a “damus”

(say the word really slow)

LOL

“He’s just a seven footer, he can’t help it!”.

Who else is coming to live show?

It’s his passion, his hobby, his job.

It’s not like I’m angry or anything, just debating. :>

Surely he has ‘game’ (which you can’t deny me on, I gave such a case ;P) even if you don’t like it.

He takes it harder to the rim than cotton-socks Amir (admittingly not hard), but in comparison to some people we had on our roster last year I’d gladly take West with his jew-fro and everything. S’all good.

Citing evidence against yours truly.

So we’re clear, I hate his game with a passion!!! But i’m sure I’d love him as person.

Better?

I just thought your choice of words were quite harsh.

But even so, I think I made good points in his favor. God knows how tired I am of players with no effort.

If I was judging personally, I’d be the first to acknowledge how tough the odds are for making it to that level.

You just might have the best name on here now!!!!

Funny stuff Ali. I agree with errrrthang except for Vinnie finishing over Joe-D. You don’t make the hall of fame unless you can finish.

E=mc Hammer!! HA!

rip starts

Gordon does a worse job guarding point guards than shooting guards, so can’t switch with stuckey on defense

BG can reek more havoc going up against crappy defenders

pistons will have arguably second deepest bench, no more zoo crew

e=mc hammer, which means opposing teams have to play their starters much longer than they want to

big advantage in 4th quarter because our starters will be rested going up against worn down defenders

I personally think Rip should start, but you guys already knew that. Look at it this way: Joe Dumars was always the starter even though the microwave was arguably the better scorer. As a result johnson would often finish games over Dumars.

You want your best defender out on the court at the beginning because he’ll be out guarding the Wades, Bryants and Roys. There’s no way Ben Gordon has a shot at keeping Kobe below 30 if Ray Allen (who takes 81% of shots from the perimeter) blows up for 51 on him.

This way, when Gordon comes out, he’s going up against most other teams scrubs. In other words, he can reek a lot of havoc in a short span of time by just having Bynum force feed him the ball. And before you guys say that Gordon can guard point guards… NO HE CAN’T. 1 guards had an effective field goal percentages of 57% and massive PERs so switching his defensive assignments with Stuckey flat out would not work.

I really like the idea of having Daye, Gordon, Bynum, Wilcox and Maxiell off the bench. That’s a really deep line up, possibly the second best bench behind Boston because Denver lost Klieza and Cleveland failed to trade szczerbiak.

This is the most efficient way to take advantage of your players’ strengths. This will bolster the starters’ defense, which would be just atrocious having gordon and villanueva out together. But more importantly the bench will be extremely explosive. What this means is that opposing teams will have to play their best defenders longer (which means starters in most cases) and that will wear them down.

So short of teams like Boston, the pistons will have a major edge in the fourth quarter, having their fresh starters go up against worn down defenders.

Most underrated… if anything he *LOOKS* overrated. Crazy McLebron makes everybody look better, but he’s still good. He has versatility (plays point when Mo’ is out), he plays the minutes, he gives you defense, he gives you heart (we want players like that in D’ right now) - he shoots 40% from the perimeter and can drive pretty efficiently (’specially for his size).

Even making it to the NBA and getting starter minutes means you’ve got somethin’, right?

It’s nice to see someone ‘work’ on a team too. Granted, not as much as Lebron (as much as LB makes it look easy). In the playoffs he played 42 minutes a game and 45 during the Orlando season (whilst guarding Turkoglu often) - don’t tell me you wouldn’t like someone who gives that effort. His shooting did go downhill but if I had to run around for that length with high-class athletes (if I was so lucky) I’d be hoisting airballs constantly (and I’m a fit person).

Speaking of which, I don’t like the way people judge NBA players. I’ve yet to do it as it’s harsh. They all got there for a reason and I know a lot of you would love to play basketball professional (the sport we so adore - much less the greatest league in the World).

I got a little Ali on ya. :>

Also, Delonte doesn’t have a 2-guard spot in Cleveland. He’s only warming the seat until a real one comes along.

I read somewhere that he should be on the NBA’s most underrated team.

Do you agree with that Astridamus?

You wanna take his 2-guard spot in Cleveland?

That’s all true “R” but I think a hate him as a player.

How can you suck so bad when you’re playing next to the best player in the world and he wants nothing more than to give you the ball.

The only word I can think of to describe him is “OKAY”. No part of his game sticks out. He’s not a great shooter, passer, scorer, or defender(above average defender)–he’s just “OKAY” at everything.

Don’t forget Rajon Rondo took his spot at Boston back when Rondo was considered a weakness in the line-up.

If asked what do I think about Delonte West, I would just say, “He’s okay”
