    You can't afford me. For that you'd only get me to listen to a Coldplay album.

    Am I the only one that sees a young Ben Wallace in Vonleh??? His arms are massive, elite rebounder and becoming better defensively by day... he is just a little confidence away from being a real nice player IMO

    Maybe skill set wise, but Wallace played MAD like all the time. That's part of the reason he was so damn good. He wasn't drafted and carried a major chip on his shoulder. Vonleh, the last couple of games has been balling, but I don't know if he could carry that "seek and destroy" mentality against everybody he matched up against. It would be awesome to see though.

    Wallace wasn’t great til about 26-27 years old... Vonleh has shown flashes of a mean streak... is only 22, still developing

    Vonleh is more Dennis Rodman. Defensively versatile, can guard almost anyone, a beast on the boards, but not the rim protector that Wallace was.

    Interesting that Swanigan is inactive instead of Collins.

    I think 5th or 6th seed is reasonable right now. Not sure we'll make it past the first round though. Not that it matters.....we have no hope of beating either Houston or GS.

    One game at a time though. Go Blazers. Time for a little revenge. I hope Nurk drops 30 on their asses.

    Seriously? I was agreeing with you and poking fun at Stotts for his rigid substitutions...which I was agreeing with so it all sounded good until mention of that because Stotts is rigid. Damn, this board is so full of people trying to jump on anything they see that people don't even get it when you agree with what they are saying and 'like' it as happened with your post.

    He'll drop 60 on somebody one day. Hope it's not us.

    Swanigan? Not that I know of. Don’t know why Collins is active over him, maybe Zach has looked better in practice.

    No argument there. Westbrick dropped 58 on us last season....but the Thunder still lost.
