"Coaches talk about loyalty and team all the time. I just thought it was time to show it, and thats what I did." Doc Rivers when he signed his extension. Thanks for this thread btw. I took a weekend to get over the finals loss and now I'm ready to look at basketball again.

This honestly wouldnt surprise me at all. Since Monta opted out I've been saying that he was going to Dallas

another thing, this whole doc to LA is pending league approval. didn't stern already say they wouldn't allow it to go through because it violates the CBA?

KG to the Bulls would be insane if he could reunite with Thibs. Too bad they'd probably have to throw in the Bobcats pick for the C's to accept a Boozer trade.

Rose/Hinrich/Deng/KG/Noah
Nate/Draft Pick/Butler/Gibson/FA C

That't would be a hellacious team defensively......as they scored 68 points a game

So we're putting a cap on Blake's ceiling already?

Stop being a stan, you're talking like players could possibly IMPROVE as they get older. He's played three years, this is who he is... garbage in a uniform. They should trade him.
 
What bugs me about Griffin is his defense. He's strong (popcorn muscles) and he's athletic. I mean he jumped over a Kia. Maybe he doesn't give a damn about playing D. Is it safe to say he's Carlos Boozer with hops?
 
Ya giving up on blake already, all he needs is a pick n pop game and a jump hook instead of trying to take dudes off the dribble.


Amare didnt have a decent mid range game until his 5th or 6th year in the league, deandre needs a jumphook also hes the most athletic center in the league, nobody is blocking his shot

Blake Griffin wishes he had Boozer's offense

Sad but true. If Blake had Boozer's post game (the little bit he has) and his jumper he would be scary.


I still don't understand how Blake can be a brolic soft flopper. Dude gets hit in the mouth and he runs and hides.
 
Much of the Blake criticism is deserved although I think he'll be a much better(if he isn't already) player than Amare. Zyzz hates Blake and the Clippers almost as much as he loves Kobe and the Lakers :lol:


DeAndre is who I really hate, though. Too bad Stern isn't going to let us make player trades with Boston now that this first one has gone down. They're probably the only team that was willing to take Jordan. Hope we can find a way to trick another team into taking him.
 
Why so much hate for Griffin. 20 & 10 guy through 3 years, one of the pest passing and ball handling 4's in the L and efficient. I think his athleticism gives him a bad rap. All you guys say is "All he can do is dunk" clearly dont watch the game and what he contributes.

He has a way to go, mostly on the defensive end, but people out there act like all his points come spoon fed from CP3 lobs. He was statistically better before CP3 joined the clips.

Everybody that criticizes him doesn't hate him. Some people are just calling it what it is. Blake has been exposed twice in the playoffs. If he's not getting dunks and lay ups he can't score and for a dude his size he needs to toughing up. This stuff is obvious.

So he Avg 19 & 7 on a team that made it to the second round in his FIRST playoffs, and he had a bum ankle in this years playoffs. I hardly call that getting exposed.

Since the other thread got locked before I got home this is to Mister Friendly:
You wrote this above.

I think you TOTALLY missed the point. No **** Kobe gets hated on by "other stans. The funny thing is "what a coincidence HE'S the ONLY player to get hated on by other fan bases." Hmmm...wonder why that is. Ooooh that's right, because KOBE FANS are the ones that start hating on ANY other wing player NOT named Kobe.

Again, my point is NAME me ANOTHER fan base that starts a HATE thread for a Lebron, Tmac, Wade, Vince, AI, etc other than Kobe fans. When you see a hate thread for Lebron, Wade, Tmac, AI, and the list goes on, who do you see starting them? KOBE FANS! Show me the last time YOU saw a hate thread for those players started by ANOTHER fan base. When was the last time you seen a hate thread of Bron started by a Tmac fan? AI fan? Wade fan? Again, stop playing stupid. You see it here on Niketalk as well as other message boards.
