I dunno.. thats a TON of firepower on the 1st page.. matchup nightmares all over the place. Would be an interesting series though I agree.
Year 1: Rookie Of The Year Year 2: All-Star Year 3: All-NBA, Second Team ... Year 4: All-NBA, First Team Year 5: MVP It's just pattern completion. Almost like a mathematical proof.
I think the first team and second team are pretty close, assuming Yao is healthy. LeBron James can't be matched, but Yao and Duncan would help provide the second team a team defense that the first team can't match.
good grief it was a joke about Travis getting All-D votes... I even included a smiley with his tongue out for the humor impaired. Whats more odd... making a topical joke or offering congratulations to someone who won't read it? STOMP
Classic! I always wonder what the point of threads like this is... Does it make people feel better about themselves to have posted an anonymous congratulations? Like the recipient is going to know, let alone give a damn...
Can we just retire Roy's number now and it get it over with? He can still wear it for the rest of his career, but when he leaves/retires no one else gets to be the magnificent 7.
Someone ought to forward this to that douche Utah Jazz blogger who said: "But Brandon Roy is no Deron Williams."
Man that's a long time. 15 players are All NBA every year, over the course of 16 seasons--that's 240 slots that a Blazer hasn't filled. So 1 time in 255 total opportunities. Pretty depressing ratio. Anyway, glad that's in the past. A few years from now we could have two or three guys on that list. Congrats to Brandon Roy!
At least "congratulating" Roy is in the context of the thread, and I'm guessing 100% of those posting know HE won't read it, but that people involved with the Blazer organization will read it. On the other hand, I suppose being a smartass in every thread would be an effective way to express myself, so I may consider that approach as well.
Does it make you feel better about yourself criticizing people for expressing their happiness at Roy's selection to the All-NBA 2nd team?
1st team would be pretty hard next year imo...he got zero votes this season. Maybe in 2-3 years. If we're competing for the best record in the NBA I think he's got a good shot at getting top 3 in votes for MVP.
