    So your players must get injured to ultimately win the title?

    Re: Trail Blazers vs Thunder GAME THREAD 4/12

    "doubts" is perfectly acceptable grammar for that sentence. Not only do you post like a hysterical ninny, but you fail on grammar as well.

    GM? I doubt you can even put gas into your own vehicle. :lol:

    Shit, this is so far off-base from what I posted that I don't know where to start.

    So, I won't.

    How much better, really, would we be with Oden rather than Camby?

    I'm not predicting perfect health for that team, but they've already got an MVP level player who is only 21 (who also plays D and rebounds exceptionally well), Westbrook is a rising star at point guard and is also incredibly young, Green is solid as a flex 4, Ibaka has already shown some real chops on D as a shot blocker and rebounder, and they've got a real nice wing defender in Sefalosha. If they add a legit center or an elite big (like Bosh or somebody else) they're well on their way.

    And Przybilla coming off the bench? The two-headed monster that controls the paint and boards?

    Much better.

    Re: Trail Blazers vs Thunder GAME THREAD 4/12

    Yes Brandon Roy's normal statline would definitely be worse than Rudy's 0-3, 0-3, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and -14 +/- right now. I appreciate hustle, but we need some actual production from Rudy, Webster, Bayless, and Batum while Roy is out. Camby and Miller are stepping up, Aldridge is in foul trouble, we need those other guys to carry some of the load. I like that Webster is doing alright the last couple games though.

    It's so weird. We've gone from being the most promising young team in the NBA to the 2005-06 Nuggets.

    Well, if he lives in Oregon he doesn't have to, so why would that matter?

    Re: Trail Blazers vs Thunder GAME THREAD 4/12

    The same could be said for the Blazers, though. I guess I don't see the certainty that you posted. The same could have been said for New Orleans two years ago. Now, they're an afterthought due to Chris Paul's injury problems.

    Jump on the Thunder bandwagon, though. Everybody else seems to be doing it.
