2007-2008 Regular Season Thread

Off the bench?
Man I think he'll win 6th man.

Yeah, I've thought it for a long time, perfect role for him. Doesn't have to worry all about running the team, just has to worry about scoring, and man is he loving the role. Fans love when he comes on the floor. Look at his stats so far this year:

@ Cleveland: 24 points (7-12 FG)
@ Atlanta: 20 points (7-13 FG)
Sacramento: 16 points (5-8 FG)
Houston: 31 points (11-17 FG)

So far this season, he is averaging 22.75 points per game off the bench, best season as a pro, off the bench. Also not just shooting, averaging 5 assists per game to.

Only people I'm not happy with so far are again the so called "lock-down-defenders" in Eddie Jones and Trenton Hassell. I like Hassall more though, but Jones, god he is shooting like 2-18 on the season, TERRIBLE, Hassell is getting better.

 

[.GR]

Dang. Brooks didnt play. What the hell?

 

[DJT]

Yea, well at least Hassell isn't throwing up nearly as many shots.

Brooks is pretty far down on the depth chart.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Brooks isn't even on the roster right now, is he on IR or the D-League?

 

[DJT]

He's probably inactive.

 

[Pugz]

Eddie Jones will start shooting better though.
He was a GOOD pickup for the Mavs.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I was still hoping the Mavs would go for James Posey instead, sounds kinda weird but we would match up better against teams like Golden State.

PG: harris, SG: Howard, SF: Posey, PF: Dirk, C: Diop

Have JET off the bench for Howard then move Howard over to the 3 and adjust according to how the game goes.

 

[Pugz]

That would have worked too.

 

[Whisper]

It is time to preach the verse of the book of the mamba.

It was written that "On the 6th Day of the 11th Month of the 7th Year of the new millenium, the Lakerites shall set forth to defend their castle from the invading Killer Bee tribe of New Orleans. The Lakerites shall be bold and confident after two victorious battles against the Sodomite Suns and the Tribe hailing from the Brokeback Mountains of Utah. Ye, let it be known that the Lakerites must not be overconfident for they might stumble upon a Hornet's nest.

Although the sting of a Hornet is dangerous, nothing is more lethal than the venomous bite from a Black Mamba. Thy Holy Mamba shall strike upon the Hornets nest and inject them with his poison. Nevertheless, the Hornets shall be unrelenting in their attacks, but fear not my brothers, for Thy Mamba is with me. Thy Holy Mamba shall bat down the Hornets nest with one mighty swing and it shall crash to the ground like a fallen pinata.

Knees shall tremble at the thought of the improving Lakerite army. Grown men shall ejaculate prematurely in their beds at night, for the thought of the Prodigal Son Lamar returning in the coming few days shall run rampant in their dreams.

Beware, I say. Beware to those who dare oppose us for you shall be vanquished! As the sun shall set, the Turiaf shall dance with the stars!!!"

It was written; therefore, it is so!!

~Mamba 11:6

Former D-Leaguer To Watch

Kelenna Azubuike

The first GATORADE Call-Up of the 2006-07 season, Azubuike is off to a spectacular start to the NBA season with the Golden State Warriors. Azubuike is averaging 20.3 points per game over the first three games of the season as a member of the Warriors' starting lineup. The highlight of his season came on Friday night, when Azubuike posted a career-high 33 points on 12-17 shooting in a loss to the Clippers. The third-year pro is also averaging shooting .647 (22-34) from the field, .500 (5-10) on three-pointers, and averaging 3.7 rebounds in his first full NBA season. Undrafted out of Kentucky, Azubuike played for Fort Worth in the D-League for two seasons before signing with the Warriors last January. He was leading the D-League in scoring at the time of his call-up.

Azubuike and the Warriors, who are looking for their first win of the season, will host the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. The Warriors will then host the Mavericks in a rematch of last year's amazing first-round playoff series on Thursday night, a game which will be televised nationally on TNT.

Now where is CC so he can read this??

 

[Pugz]

I was gunna do that.
Good thinking.

 

[JoshHoward5]

The runway is cleared for lift off, JET.

 

[.GR]

Is it true that TNT and EPN may not drop some of the televised games that they were going to have due to Oden being out? That's rediculous. I heard this a couple weeks ago.

 

[VC3]

Now where is CC so he can read this??

Hes too illerate to understand what is written in that paragraph. And he will probably say: "buike sucks"

As for where he is, hes probably riding JJ Redick.

Lol. Why does he like him so much? He sucks.

 

[Pugz]

Lol. Why does he like him so much? He sucks.

Even the n00b knows it.

 

[DJT]

Well I like Gerry McNamara and Demetris Nichols and people say they suck.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Wow DJT, do you not understand the meaning of 'leaving it alone'?

All you're doing is instigating, so shut up!

 

[DJT]

I was just putting a clip talking about how good Buike has been doing....because you think he's garbage.

Its not my fault if people take it further than that.

 

[.GR]

You seriously need to calm down. You take things too seriously.
