Really? They just imposed this last season and it is a % of the vote. I'm quite sure you realize what I meant. FANS should have no say in who is the elite. Plain and simple. Post like JinxSpeed much?
I thought I explained that. Don't worry about it. What I'm trying to say isn't sinking with people. Nevermind.
Starters voted in by the fans, reserves and injury replacements selected by the coaches. It's been that way for as long as I can remember. BNM
Not really. I'm not a fan of Wiggins, and wouldn't think he's that great even with him on my team. I'd say it's certainly possible but I'd have the same opinion. No bench, 15th-20th ranked defense, and 10th to 15th ranked offense.
That may be true but that is the same thing that people said about the Jazz last year. Wolves were young and now added some quality veteran players....the kind I would have liked to have in Portland. They aren't going to be contenders but I think they will be battling in the same record area that Portland is in unless Nurkic does something he has never done and stays healthy and beasty for an entire season.
Nice. Billy Ocean is one of my karaoke go-tos. I see your creepy song about getting girls into your car and raise you one "Vehicle" by Ides of March.
Says the guy who thinks Thomas Robinson is an all-star, who thinks Warren Gillis is an NBA player, and WAS advocating the reacquiring of Greg Ogden a couple years.
Thomas Robinson is obviously not an all star because he doesn't even have a contract. If it has to do with personality issues or other reasons I don't know but talent-wise he could be an All-Star. Warren Gillis could be a backup guard for us, 5-10 minutes a game, more if we didn't sign Briscoe and Goodwin, and if Oden was ever healthy he would have been an amazing player. If you told me he's healthy now and it was up to me, i'll sign him
The reason that you don't understand is he sucks at basketball. Great athlete with no skills (still can't even make a free throw to save his life) and the BBIQ of a doorstop. Actually, I take that back. A doorstop would make far fewer boneheaded plays and unforced errors. Seven teams have give up on him in five years, many of them among the worst teams in the league (PHI, BRK, LAL, SAC) and not one single team has regretted it. BNM
Great fucking song! (regardless of creepy ass rapey lyrics.) Better than this Mullet Headed/80's power lifting number that Jim Peterik also wrote. All you need is some Gatorade, a head band, and Carl Weathers letting you win a marathon on a beach to recreate the experience.
Maybe we can change the name to the Northwest Trailblazers so we have a regional support base like what was done for "New England." Seattle lost their team and Washington could align themselves with a "regional" brand. At least we would not feel so isolated with talent ending up in Texas ,OKL City or Cal..
It's only my analysis. Thibs as coach - he's elite. Multiple veteran superstars - Butler and Teague. Two young superstars - Wiggins and Towns. Taj Gibson is no slouch for a 5th option. Crawford off the bench gives them an aged but able 6th man. If Thibs gets them playing defense, they have more than enough offense to destroy a lot of teams.
