alot of people seem to have frogotten about Roby due to how terrible colorado is this year

and i have a feeling that DJ Augustin will test the draft waters i really dont see that many point guards better and his stock is at a high playing with someone like Durant and i doubt he'll able to improve much next year anyway but he can always say that this year he played wit a great player like durant and was still able to put up modest numbers

I was on the Richard Roby bandwagon last year and will not get off now... Also i am re-starting the Marcus Williams bandwagon and all aboard get a free hat

So after doing a little more research on Yi Jianlian, I officially want this guy to be a Phoenix Sun next year. His game seems very well suited to our style, and I really think that he'll become a stud in the NBA.

Tyson Chandler is a beast. 10 rebounds and 13 points in 16 ******s.

Tyson Chandler also gets in foul trouble and is terrible on the offensive end.

Work in progress. And his scoring is improving, he'll probably end up being a Ben Wallace type of player in the near future. Oh yeah, and he's got three blocks.

Tyson is not a good defender at all. So he's got a ways to go there. He's a shot blocking rebounder and I don't think he'll ever get above that IMO.

Yeah but he's not in the game to score a ton of points. He went 7/10 from the field with 15+ boards and 3 + blocks recently. If he can do that consistently, any team in the NBA would start him.

what a sad ending for the knicks in the knick game

"If" he can do that, which is doubtful IMHO.

That was his problem in Chicago. He'd be a monster one game, and then non existent the next.

Hell, if Ben Gordon could consistently shoot the ball like he did against the Bucks, he'd be averaging 50 points a game.

I think that you're really underrating Tyson Chandler. I don't think that anybody is saying that he's a defensive force or a great center... yet. Everybody knows that he's a developemental prospect, and he has shown alot of improvement this year. If he continues to progress along at this rate, I think he'll easily be a top ten or even a top five center two or three years down the line. He just needed a change of scenery to get his act together.

TH3 · 03-06-2007, 09:41 PM

Tyson Chandler is welcome on the Mavs any day

A-Dub4President · 03-06-2007, 10:56 PM

He finished with 18 boards, 15 points, and 4 blocks. Look at his stats for February, they're incredibly good and also very consistent. He's definitely keeping up the pace.

Consistency is what he needs, but I really question his work ethic in the offseason so hopefully that changes. He's a hard worker on the court, but from what I heard and read he didn't work on his game at all in the offseason.

Wow, Kobe is a little punk. He hit Manu Ginoboli with that cheap shot, and all I remember is the media rushing to Kobe's defense, saying it was an completely incidental and there's no way it was intentional.

Then yesterday he does the same exact thing to Marko Jaric. Complete cheap shot, a driving stiff arm smashing Jaric directly in the face. There's no way it is unintentional, Kobe just tries to mask it by making it look like a follow-through.

He needs to get suspended again, hopefully more than the 1 game he got for smashing Ginoboli in the face.

I think he'll get three games. That elbow looked pretty dirty.

Sweetness is just bitter that Tyson is doing good on another team and that the bulls basically traded him away for nothing. Then they went on to Sign Ben Wallace to a huge contract and Tyrus is putting up better numbers than Wallace :)

D-Unit · 03-07-2007, 02:28 PM

Don't look now, but Trevor Ariza is back for the Magic and heating up!!!

SeanTaylorRIP · 03-07-2007, 02:31 PM

Yet the magic and fighting and scratching for the 8th seed.

Darko needs to learn how to be consistent.

Anyways, Boris Diaw is starting tonight for Phoenix. Hopefully he's back and healthy, he's missed an awful lot of time with his back.

Hey, everyone knows we don't have a Championship team. The main excitement we get are seeing our players develop! What's good about the Magic is that they are not a team of aging stars fighting for a playoff spot. That would mean trouble.

This year, Darko and Ariza have stepped out of the closet a little. Darko just became a full time starter last week or the week before.... Ariza is finally getting to see some minutes with Hill going down...finally.

We're getting there... slowly...

raps have a big game against the griz this year

Not really. I didn't like Tyson when he was here and I was glad we traded him. He needs some consistency, which he doesn't have yet. He'll go and put up some great numbers and then put up some really bad ones.

He has developed this year and it's good to see, but I am not broken up at all that he's gone.

D-Unit · 03-07-2007, 03:36 PM

Moving Tyson was the right move. Signing Big Ben wasn't. However, their worst move was getting rid of Eddy Curry. He's turning into a monster.

I'd take Tyson Chandler over Eddy Curry any day of the week. Look at his February:
