lmao SI overrates Westbrook so bad.

Answer the question.

Answer the question.

How is that question even relevant? Monty Williams is a Head Coach, Westbrook is just a player. You can't even compare the two. Is Westbrook a better player than Monty is a coach? Yeah probably, but like I said you can't compare the two. Monty is new to the coaching ranks.

Who would I rather have? I'd much rather Monty because you win games and Championships by playing good defense and diciplined basketball. Not by playing like a mad man, turning over the ball, chucking up shots, shooting something like 29% from mid range, and not even giving a damn about defense. I'll go ahead and say it, unless he changes, no team will win a title with Westbrook at point guard.

Now do you have any other dumb questions like who's the better player?

youre crazy if you would rather have monty coach a cp3-less team then have russy on the team.

Guess I'm crazy then, but like I said, good defense and discipline win games and championships. Westbrook isn't disciplined and he definitely doesn't have a defensive bone in his body.

I'd much rather a coach who stresses defense and effort than a player who pouts on the bench, argues with coaches, jacks up bad shot after bad shot, and puts forth no effort aside from steals on the defensive end, etc etc.

The Raptors are expected to wait at least a year before using the amnesty clause.

The amnesty clause can be used at any time in next six years on anyone on the roster July 1, 2011.

Linas Kleiza and Jose Calderon are the most likely amnesty candidates.

I do not even know why we signed Kleiza to such a deal in the first place. I would love to see Jose stay though, I love him on the team, but not as a starter.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Calderon would be sick on the right team, just a animal.

 

[elcheato]

The Knicks apparently are interested in Ramon Sessions. Can we have Fields?

 

[Mexi]

whats going on?

ton of news
i cant keep up

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Everybody wants to be traded lol

 

[DJT]

The list of teams that say they won't use the amnesty keeps growing...lol at the Pistons.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

The Hornets haven't said if they will or not, but I don't see us using it.

Trevor Ariza is a guy they still like, and after the playoffs he had last season I'd imagine they like him more now. Then you have Okafor, who is the only PF or C on the roster.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Chris Paul is at the Alario Center this morning working out with his teammates, that is definitely good to hear. I would be pissed if he wasn't there.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Hornets play in Memphis against the Grizz on the 16th then play them again on the 21st at home for the preseason. That's the only two games either team will play during the preseason. I wasn't even aware that there would be a preseason, though I guess it should have been fairly obvious.

 

[.infamous]

Was reading that CBA thing you posted Nola and that is kinda true about westbrook and durant. Westbrook is gonna try to get the derrick rose rule contract and I think that will hurt us. Hopefully Westbrook doesn't cause turmiol on the team or i'll be pissed.

 

[RipCity32]

I was just thinking of another reason I HATE Dumars.
He traded Afflalo for basically nothing. Dude is a damn good rotation player, and we basically handed him to the Nuggets.

He was one of my favorite Pistons when we had him.

 

[RipCity32]

Also we had a chance to draft DeAndre Jordan, like I was hoping for. Lmao.

 

[Mexi]

Christmas will have 5 games instead of 3!!!

early game on TNT (probably the Knicks/Celtics game)

then the regular double header. Mavs/Heat and Lakers/Bulls

then a double header on ESPN

OKC is a lock in one of the games

Clippers and grizzlies need to be shown

so 1 more, idk who. someone from the east

:BB:

 

[RipCity32]

Was sooooooooo mad lol. DJ White then Walter Sharpe haahahh.

 

[Mexi]

speaking of deandre, that dude is so fun to watch

underrated in terms of how fun a player he is, and how likable he is
