A rare mindless Craig Sayer interview. He did not listen to Ron the second time before he asked a third version of the same. Artest was on the edge ever since his mother jettisoned him into the cold brutal world.
What did you think of him at the time? Given his lack of size, did you think he'd one day be playing in the NBA, let alone at his current level? BNM
A very politically incorrect, but very accurate way of saying, "we are a better team than our record indicates". He's basically saying, our record sucks, but we still have some talent here. It's a good way of explaining their shitty record without throwing his players, or the organization under the bus. BNM
Celtics are catching the Cavs. They have some great valuable assets and should be looking to make big moves, they've caused Warriors trouble too more than once and killed their long standing home record.
Would anyone trade Vonleh straight across for him? No picks either way. I think they are very similar talents (not players) although Nurk has shown more (outside of his last few games). Which would you rather have going forward?
The Celtics taking out the Cavs and then beating the Warriors would kind of wipe out the superstar teams dominance theory. I'd be ok with that.
found this interesting. Never understood why I have been hearing his name in trade rumors the past year
There was another kid on his team who was better at the time. From his Junior to Senior season there was marked improvement. He was small but he had elite quickness, ballhandling, and fearlessness. He went wherever he wanted to with the ball. D1 prospect easy. Conversely, Brandon Jennings looked every bit of an NBA prospect.
Wow, if there is even an ounce of truth to that, it's no wonder there is so much animosity between Butler and the CHI front office. It also explains why Butler and Thibs are so close and why Wade and Butler are on the same page. BNM
LOL. No one can ever accuse the Soup Juggler of being being an underachiever when it comes to forcing up bad shots. Hopefully, any coach in his right mind would pull him way before he got to 0 for 30. At least he dreams big. 0-30 would not only put him in the record books, it would likely be one of those records that would never be broken. The current record for worst 0-fer in NBA history is held by Tim Hardaway at 0-17. BNM
From The Vertical http://sports.yahoo.com/news/trade-guide-west-teams-pushing-for-last-playoff-spot-195756875.html Interesting that our trade assets are considered "limited", but Denver's are "plentiful." (I don't agree!) Anyway, here's a snippet:
