Rookie-Soph game!

Honk. Honk.


?

 

You had me until the ZBo part.

 

Yeah, I'm not saying that ZBo is necessarily a plus, but the fact is that he can score the ball. I was just talking in terms of firepower we could have on the team. You could have even ran a lineup of Durant/Zbo/LMA.

Just saying that so far, we aren't winning that decision yet.

 

Durant is almost a year younger..

He is putting up 26 ppg in his second season..

He'll only going to get better when he puts on a little weight..

He's only 20!

It's really looking like we royally fucked up that draft. Durant's ceiling is appearing limitless.

 

I'll stick with Big Greg thank you very much

 

I've thought of that lineup. And yes, it definitely should give all Blazers fans some pause.

Let's revisit this conversation in 3 years. That's what I keep telling myself. I'm not jumping to any conclusions until the END of next season at the earliest. But until then, yeah - we all have to wonder.

 

vote for Rudy

I mean I was all about Oden too. He had size and was supposed to be the next great center. It's true he might develop, but I don't like what I've seen from his personality and seemingly lack of love for the game. I don't see the fire and passion, the competitive spirit that you have to have to really take it up to that next level.

Durant is ridiculous. Seeing his improvements from last year, it's crazy to think what he'd be like next to Roy and how having both of them would make the game easier for both of them (by drawing defensive attention). I mean, that is a Jordan/Pippen type of combination in Roy/Durant (not in playing style, but in dominating opposing talent). Really. Unless Oden becomes David Robinson, we certainly missed the boat.

 

Pining for Durant isn't going to get the Blazers anywhere, but it will surely make the fanbase look like a bunch of whiney bitches.

 

Greg will have to develop into a young 'Zo/Thurmond to justify his selection over Durant.

 

nice, Rudy trying to take a charge. where have I seen that fail before?

 

I got that feeling from 'Bron tonight. He passed on talking about him atleast twice. Then took the time to say he shouldn't be in the dunk contest. I thought it was interesting.

 

44 pts 7 rebs 4 ast.

Fucking A's.

 

Please tell me you're not having a panic attack over scores in a rookie game.

 

I wonder what's going through Greg's mind watching Durant smash this game for 46 pts.

 

It's a meaningless game but that doesn't change the fact that KD is also averaging 26 ppg this season.

 

I just saw the "& Youth Jam" part of the Rookie Challenge title. Explains all those unfortunately-not-aborted fetus's screaming in the background...

 

Yes. Humorously he looked like the same exact player for the month of November as he did last year. Then a coaching change happened - and boom. I guess sometimes having a coach utilize you in a correct manner is helpful.

 

You're a laugh.
