I think he can only play the 3, and even then he plays it like he's a power forward. The dude's clearly an NBA player but he never translated his athleticism and skillset into versatility, like he should have.
That's true, although he wouldn't have been capable of playing extended stretches against Howard. Joey exposed what everyone eventually realized about Howard's offensive game after the NBA Finals. He has no range to his offensive game. If you push him away from the low post before he gets the ball, he'll inevitably pass it off.
d howard wasnt pushed away from the basket in the finals,no, he was swarmed by every laker as soon as he received a touch. i would submit to u that the raptors inabilities to contain d howard was the consequence of poor preparation on the coaching staff's part. my point about joey is that he's versatile and thats good enough for a ten year career in the nba- just ask george lynch and stacy augmon
Best Case: 45 wins, 6th seed, lose 1st round in 5 games. Worst case: 40 wins, 8th seed, swept in 1st round. BNM
a prediction isnt a best or worst range, its a specific number. maybe u can get away with that in the blazer forum but not here in god's forum
The low end was to account for injuries - which can't be predicted. Lose a key player for any period of time and your record will suffer. So, Ill assume a relatively healthy season for your key players and go with: 45 wins, 6th seed, lose 1st round in 5 games. BNM
