    To paraphrase Happy Gilmore, Dirk Nowitsky has a wrinkled chest, old balls, and a "five year plan".

    He was in the NBA last year?

    FUCK COLLEGE BASKETBALL.
    finally, somebody says it.


    Allow me to say it one more time.

    haha. You dudes.

    But on the real, it is too time consuming to watch both. Unless you do that shit for a living.

    GP are u really gonna sit there and tell me he gonna do the same thing he did in college.
    Put up the same numbers?

    Ur sayin the competition is the same? The 82 games vs whatever those cats play.

    "I watched him last year" means ur basing his game on the college level. Right?

    He's going to be playing for the Sonics who still aren't that good. Somebody's gotta score points, who else on the Sonics is gonna do it now that Allen is gone?

    Last season we were starting over.

    This season is going to be all about building strong team chemistry.

    So - 20 PPG game by default is an accomplishment? If he get the most looks of course he'll score.
    How is this something to hold in high regard?

    Wasn't your question is he going to "put up the same numbers" as he did in college?

    And my reply is, he could definitely score 20 ppg because nobody else on the Sonics is gonna do it now.

    Jeez dude you're gettin deep w/ it. Why the KD hate?

    Some dudes think he's gonna be good. Why not table this til the season starts and see what's up. You're already loading up excuses to make when he does do good. Or WELL even.

    Sorry.

    U know me when it comes down to hype. Im really not questioning his skills but moreso the public's expectations. This happens ever year.

    Shit.....I remember when Stackhouse was the new Jordan. And for a hot minute it looked close.

    Last season we were starting over.

    This season is going to be all about building strong team chemistry.

    Aren't they starting over again though? Portland just picked up 5 or 6 new players and got rid of a 20/10 dude and two other guys. Seems like the real "new beginning" for Portland will be next season. I see what you mean but it doesn't really affect my point, still a young team with a lot of growing to do. It should be exciting to watch.

  • The only reason I'm blowing hype on Durant is cos I saw him play so much and he was so darned impressive for a youngster. He's a natural scorer and I think that will definitely translate.

  • G_BalliandoG_Balliando 3,916 Posts
    Yeah but how many other players did you watch that closely?

  • Yeah but how many other players did you watch that closely?

    Not many. I'll let others speak on them. Why you wan' test?

    Dudes is feisty up in here today. Y'all need to take some fucking Midol.

    KD is legit. he'll be able to sleepwalk his way to a 25+ ppg career average. sam presti is off to a great start in seattle ... if he can keep it up and build some momentum with a good coaching staff i'm sure KD will learn how to translate his skills to wins at the pro level.

    i believe that within 4 years KD will be one of the top 5 or 10 players in the league.

    Will his ascention be faster than LeBoring's?

    Just saying, maybe you're putting a lot on Durant cuz he was the only cat you were paying attention to. I definitely think he's going to be good, but whether that's right way or in time, we shall see.

    Kevin Garnett is real good........

  • I'm not gonna argue about it anymore. faded_glory is generally on point w/ his basketball takes when he posts. I'm sure Rock will agree too whenever he returns.

  • G_BalliandoG_Balliando 3,916 Posts
    Right. Well, I think this was merely a step in the right direction for Seattle, they need to seek another piece or two for sure, but in the meantime, they will develop Durant and Green. Those guys being good doesn't necessarily = wins for Seattle, which is what I assume you are getting at.

    Do you see Seattle ending up with a better or worse record than last season with their new roster?

  • Seattle plays in the West so they're still fucked wins-wise. Same w/ Portland.

    Seattle will be interesting to watch, especially if they re-sign Lewis which the cats were alluding to last night. They've got some rangy dudes now. West coast teams should be high-scoring by nature...I envision them playing a lot of shootouts.

  • Kevin Garnett is real good........

    Mavs are quietly makin offers for this dude. Would hate to see Josh go. Aldridge is reporting it now...dallasbasketball.com has been reporting it for a week.

    How about Jared Jordan, son of Michael Jordan? Heh.

    I dont see it as them starting over. Just building off of the 2006 season.

    You know that our 2005 roster had such such 'stars' as:

    Abdur-Rahim
    Damon Stoudamire
    Ruben Patterson
    Derek Anderson
    Telfair
    Ratliff

    Getting rid of those guys was gound zero in the rebulding of this franchise....which was 2006.

    GP.....ran into "Skin" the dude that hosted the Draft with Norm Hitzges last night on The Ticket. He is one half of the "Ben & Skin" Mavs post game show..... He was digging at one of the HPB spots and we had a short talk about the draft. Next time you call me I'll give you details......but he was hoping for Big Baby too.

    Yeah, I want to hear those details.

    Big Baby has all sorts of limitations but his main strength plays right into the Mavs' needs. Second rounders are "flyers" anyway, so I wish we'da went in that direction.

    Dude has serious scoring skills. Needs to work everything else, including moral fibre. Still, a promising pick-up for the Bulls, considering he came in the late 2nd round.

    He was pinched for selling weed. Give me a break. It's not exactly a string of sexual assault charges.
