Or maybe playing with a stud like Alajuwon who carried the load every night was enough to give Drexler a free ride.
Nope. It's obvious to me that Drexler dogging it in the preseason throughout his career ultimately gave that Houston team the fresh Clyde it needed to win a second title. I don't think there is any way to dispute this pseudo-fact based in opinion based on quasi-observation.
Miami lost tonight against Charlotte, making them 3-3 in the preseason. What a bunch of fuckin bums I tell ya.
Fuck. Is Brandon Roy playing badly on purpose? Just checked the box score. Practically nothing I'm 24 minutes of play? I thought he said last week that he wanted to play more in preseason so that he'd be playing his best when the season started. And I think preseason matters. IIRC, Jordan used to play hard in preseason and they rarely lost those games. He doesn't like losing no matter when the game is played. Also, didn't our last contending team ('99-'00) go 8-0 in preseason? Our team is a mess. Our start doesn't like the way he is used and he's playing horribly. The guy who is playing the best (Rudy) wants out. All 4 of our centers are hurt. Our new signing is hurt. What a fucking mess! All summer, I was looking forward to Oden's return to the team by training vamp and now there's no timetable for his return. This fucking sucks.
No worries, everybody. Just remember, the pre-season doesn't matter. It's completely cool that our best player is coasting through these games and acting like he couldn't care less. Meanwhile, here's what a few other players accomplished last night: LeBron James: 33 pts., 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals Kevin Durant: 29 pts, 9 rebounds Dwight Howard: 14 pts., 13 rebounds David Lee: 21 pts., 12 rebounds Brandon Bass: 17 pts., 8 rebounds Jeff Green: 27 pts., 9 rebounds I have one word for those guys: SUCKERS!!! They actually think you need to play hard in the preseason!! Can you believe it? Somebody should send them to the Brandon Roy School of Basketball, where you learn to just take it easy and go through the motions.
I think Roy is going thru the motions and frankly I don't like it. Isn't Nate trying to get the guys to player better D - effort is required for that. Is not Brandon the team leader - what kind of example is being set? He's only playing 25 minutes or so, can't he give more effort in that shorter time? At least LMA is playin hard every night, maybe Roy can turn it on, but will the team be ready given his apathy we've seen so far. We'll see
How DARE you go against the conventional wisdom on this board!!! Don't you realize that every respectable poster in this forum has already said there's nothing to worry about??? Please, just take your meds and lie down. Everything will be FINE!!!
Oh man....this place is gonna go NUTS this year.....I predict the lemmings will jump off the cliff this year!
What the heck?? Amare Stoudemire had 39 points and 11 rebounds last night. My God, some players just don't realize that the preseason is for coasting. Set him straight, Brandon!!
