commie, I fully expect Sean Williams to be your top PF when that happens

pierce2walker · 02-24-2013, 02:15 PM

Looks like the league really wants the Lakers in the playoffs

The blatant missed call when Dirk got hit on the arm along with the Dirk and Mayo tech are game changers in a tight game like this.

Brodeur · 02-24-2013, 02:30 PM

Well, OJ Mayo getting absolutely wrecked by Kobe didn't help.

I actually had him listed among honorable mentions but I didnt copy him from my word doc to the post. I love Mitch though, one of my favorites as a kid and a really nice player for a long time. I think guys like he, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady all deserved to be on the HM list but I just didnt put them there for whatever reason. VC id put ahead of Thompson, T-Mac and Mitch id have to think on, but they should definitely be on the HM list.

Not happening.

Although Todd MacCulloch is battling it out for a top 5 center spot.

Good old Eddie Griffin. The Rockets traded Richard Jefferson for him.

It hurts so bad to be a Wolves fan. There has to be a payoff, someday. A 16 pt, 11 ast, 8 reb, 6 stl performance from Rubio goes for nothing.

bantx · 02-24-2013, 11:50 PM

haha oh beasley

nobodyinparticular · 02-25-2013, 12:58 AM

Kings are now within striking distance of bottom 3 seed.

Gotcha. Memory from back then is hazy when it comes to the best players on my favorite team, so I wasn't sure if my memory was playing tricks on me or not. He was also a top flight wing defender if I recall.

I hope he can get back to where he was before the injury..

Shreckart · 02-25-2013, 11:21 AM

Derek Fisher is back in OKC!!!!

bantx · 02-25-2013, 11:40 AM

is that a good thing? Another pg that will take shots away from Durant.

Maynor has been horrible this year, but if they really need that extra PG I would have just kept him. He's younger and Fisher has been done for years.
