    Goddamnit you're right again. I HATE when that happens. Wow, LeBron is even better than I thought. Who WAS the second best player on that team? Ilgauskas?

    30 shots per game, maybe. But that's okay, they've got the front line to rebound his misses.

    We might actually get to see that Greek teenager whose name nobody can pronounce. Or spell.

    What's with Detroit, Milwaukee and Dallas just shuffling players?

    Larry Hughes was supposed to be second best. Gooden and Z were probably more like it. Hughes had one of the most awful bball seasons by a major player ever... that year. Like Austin Rivers bad.

    The East was very weak that year but still, a heck of a testament to Lebrons greatness. Jordan never had teammates so bad even on Washington.

    Whether or not they can make the playoffs depends on how well they can run the three-man weave.

    I don't know if it's a playoff team, but they should lead the league in, maybe even set a new record for, offensive rebounding. Three great rebounders (Drummond, Monroe and Smith) and three guys who will miss a shitload of shots (Jennings, Stuckey and Smith).

    Who did Jennings play with in MIL that could score? Ohhh that's right he needed to shoot the ball (he and Monta). Jennings (reffed him too) can be a pass 1st guy and I think it's a GREAT move as he is WAY better than Knight.

    What I don't agree with is JSmith at SF. He cannot stretch the floor and that will be one of DET's main problems: Outside shooting.

    They'll have lots of outside shooting, just not lots of outside making!

    I like Jennings a lot better than Knight. I never understood the appeal in Knight.

    Yeah it could definitely be an issue. If they can get one of those guys to accept being the 6th man then they could still play them all 30+ minutes but with Josh only playing a tiny bit of SF. Supposedly their other acquisitions are great outside shooters, Kaldwell-Pope and some foreign guy. Jennings can shoot.

    They do have the potential to be the best defensive team in the league. I'm very interested to see that group play.

    Didn't know where to put this, but Hibbert is looking fucking massive:

    Who's the guy to Splitter's left?

    (See what you mean about Hibbert - didn't he learn anything from Oden's experience?)

    There's no way Duncan's 7'1. 6'11 tops. But yeah, Hibbert is huge.
