While Obviously NOT as Good as the "LINsanity" Hype he Created in N.Y., Jeremy Lin IS NOT a "Bum", Dog...Look @ his Numbers Sometime... While You're @ It, REED Some Dwight Howard Articles...He DOES NOT Want to Be Merely "Paint Presence" on a Championship Team...He Wants a SIZABLE Portion of the Offense Coming his Way as Well...In that Regard, LaMarcus Aldridge is Anything BUT a "Perfect Fit"... Just as Asik BITCHED about the Howard Signing, REED Fully Expects Howard to Be LESS than Thrilled if the Aldridge Trade Goes Down... REED:mj:
lin aint shit, and is a bad fit with that team. aldridge is an excellent fit and one of the top players in the league. if they could deal lin/asik it would be ideal. if howard cried about it then he simply doesnt want to win. howards game is not built for being the main guy offensively. and he didnt seem to complain in orlando when the offense ran through turkoglu at crucial times in the game. lin is not a top 20 pg
That's Because Turkoglu was a PERIMETER Player...Just as Harden is a Perimeter Player... Unless Aldridge is Ready to Become the Black Dirk Nowitzki, REED Doesn't See him & Howard as a Good Fit...The BEAUTY of Aldridge is he's Effective On the Low Block AND On the Perimeter...w/Howard, he'd Be Relegated to a 6'11 Jumpshooter...@ the Same Time, Howard WANTS TOUCHES on Offense, Which Would Obviously Be Compromised if Aldridge is Traded For... Aldridge is a "Good Fit" for James Harden, Yes...The Houston Rockets, No... As for Lin, You Make it Seem like he's a PG LIABILITY, or Something...He's NOT... REEDhno:
Lin is not a good fit off the ball with harden. He will be a liability in the playoffs since he is a below average shooter. Aldridge is better on the block than Howard and great from the mid range.
Like REED Said, Aldridge is a Good Fit for JAMES HARDEN, but Not Dwight Howard... The Rockets JUST Signed Howard to a Highly Publicized Looooooooongterm Contract...They're NOT Gonna Ruffle Dwight's Feathers Anytime Soon... Howard's ALREADY Calling the Rockets "Me & James' Team"...No Way in Hell is Howard Gonna Be COOL w/Doing All the Dirty Work as Harden & Aldridge Do All of the Scoring...Howard BITCHED about his Role in Orlando, he BITCHED about his Role w/LA Last Season & he'd Damn Sure BITCH about his Role if the Aldridge Trade Went Down... As Currently Constructed, LaMarcus Aldridge IS NOT a Good Fit for the Houston Rockets... REED:mj:
Lin is a decent pg. People forget this is actually his second full season since he barely played with GS and NY. He will only get better.
ESPN Reporting Philadelphia 76'ers 1st Round Pick, Nerlens Noel, will MISS THE ENTIRE SEASON.... REED:mj:
I agree Howard would bitch. He's a great center but he's a headache because he's a fucking baby and I doubt he has the dog in him to ever carry his team to a championship. He needs another scorer like Aldridge if Houston wants to win it all, but Howard would rather get his touches than make the necessary sacrifices to win a championship. Lin is a pretty good point guard but last season Patrick Beverly played so well that Houston actually considered starting him and letting Lin come off of the bench. Word on the street is that Lin put in a lot of work over the summer and got his jump shot looking much better so we'll see what happens this season, but don't be shocked if Houston either starts Beverly and/or trades Lin. Problem with trading Lin though is a lot of people saw last season that Linsanity was a fluke and that Houston overpaid for him so it might be harder than you think.
Wow that guy does look like the steal of the draft. I'd be giddy if it wasn't for the fact that I know coach Brooks will continue to start and play Perkins heavy minutes and blame it on Adam's being a rookie. In truth I honestly think Brooks is flat out afraid of Perkins because I can't come up with any other reason why he continues to play a guy who costs us games with his lack of production.
Agree but Brooks is not afraid of nobody. He's just a moron and he over-values experience. He's responsible for signing old ass Derek Fisher. Brooks is the worst coach since Larry Brown when it comes to develop young players. He's on his way to ruin Jeremy Lamb's career due to inactivity.
I agree he's overrrated as hell. Lots of people had him in the same boat as the Heat's Eric Spoelstra but at least Spoelstra has shown some ingenuity and coaching chops and even beat the Spurs once without playing any of his big 3. Brooks hasn't shown us shit that proves he's doing anything that any other coach wouldn't be doing having Durant and Westbrook. In fact he's shown worse because he continues to use inefficient lineups even when the results tell him they're hurting the team.
Yeah, Australia has a few outstanding prospects coming through. Exum is predicted to go #3. Jonah Bolden and Ben Simmons in particular have huge wraps on them.
All three of them have fathers who came from the USA to play in the basketball league here and ended up staying when their careers were finished. Cecil Exum Dave Simmons Bruce Bolden Similar to Kyrie Irving being born in Australia, but these kids grew up and went to school here.
Derrick Rose CONTINUES to Play like a Man on a Mission, in the Pre-Season... He Didn't Shoot Well from the Field (6-15), but was 4-8 from 3 and 10-10 from the Line, for 26 Total Points...6dimes, 4boards and a steal to Go w/It...1nce Again Making the SHARP Cuts & EXPLOSIVE Bursts of Vintage DRose... REED's Still Waiting to See Rose Jump OVER Someone for a Highlight Reel Dunk, but he's Probably SAVING that for the Regular Season.... REED:mj:
the whole Chicago team looked quick lead by rose, maybe it looked amplified because I was watching knicks/bucks before switching to bulls:dunno:
Rose & Co still cant handle this. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/embed/63847" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Bulls still need a solid second option. James Harden would've been perfect to help Rose with the offensive load. They also lost Asik who was the perfect backup C to pair with Noah. I don't like their chances too much.
The Mere THOUGHT of Derrick Rose w/a LEGITIMATE Perimeter Shot is Almost as SCARY as LeBron James w/a LEGIT Post Game... REED:34:
A HEALTHY Luol Deng is a Pretty Decent 2nd Option...Boozer is GREAT as a 3rd Option...Butler, Dunleavy & Hinrich will Alternate GOOD Offensive Performances btwn Them, as Well... Granted, Rose is Gonna have to AVERAGE 25 MINIMUM, Maybe even Closer to 30, to THREATEN the Heat... REED:hammert:
