Doesn't matter. We could get the #1 overall pick and use him incorrectly. (see Darko, Daye, Monroe)

Thats true. To think this team won a championship how many years ago?

They were pro back then lol.

Dumars really was never a GREAT GM. I realize how biased I was towards him. Dude pulled off some lucky shit really. Who would of thought Billups, Hamilton, and Wallace would of all panned out the way they did. He got Sheed for damn near nothing. Best thing he ever did was picking up Larry Brown, the reason we won the title really. I mean, getting all those players make him a good GM, but I am ashamed to ever think he was elite. The shit he has done lately, made me lose all respect for him.

As for Kuester, I'm still laughing at the fact Maxxy-Pad is still starting over Monroe.

Which streak will last longer

Mavs at 12
Celtics at 10
Heat at 8
Knicks at 7

 

[DJT]

I'd have to see the remaining schedules. Mavs got a tough one, but they could beat them and the Heat. Don't know who the Celtics play.

 

[Whisper]

Don't sweat it, Rip. For all you know Dumars might pull a Kupchak.
All Lakers fans hated Kupchak at first.
Kupchak did stupid things like draft Luke Walton and sign him for the rest of his life.
Then he let Caron Butler (when he was still good, a rising star) go for Kwame Brown...
but then all of a sudden he stole Pau Gasol (Let's note that Jerry West was NOT the GM of the Grizzlies when that transaction went down, he was already gone for almost a year) and everything was all good.

Ours isn't that tough. We have one that allows us to get up to 15 unless we slip up. We should beat the Bucks at home..and the Blazers in Dallas...we should win unless they get hot..and the Suns, we usually play great in Dallas, so unless they get hot like they did in the Lakers game like they did earlier this year, I think we should win that. But I think if we get that far, we'll lose one of the next 2 games (road games against the Heat and Magic on back to back nights)..if we win those next 5...we are REALLY something to be dealt with in the NBA.

I'm just hoping for a Mavs 15 game streak going up against a Heat 12 game winning streak on December 20th.

Heat have to do their job though.

Hornets in New Orleans
Cavs in Miami
Knicks in New York
Wizards in Washington

That Hornets game can't be in New Orleans, they already had one there. But yeah, them and the Knicks are gonna be tough games. A Dallas - Miami streak on the line game would be dope, hoping for some home cooking for the Heat in that one.

I really hope we take it to these idiots in those ugly Purple and Gold uniforms today!

I'm sure that there will be many bandwagon fans at "The Rock" today. There will surely be a plethora of Faker apparel being sold...

 

[Swish]

Raps won after 25 deficit.

made my night

Remember Dumars signed Kwame Brown lol. Plus Rip & Tayshaun has been on the trading block for almost 4 years smh and every year was we're going to make a trade and nothing happens except the A.I. trade.

 

[RipCity32]

And we sign 2 bench players in Villanueva and Gordon for lucrative contracts lol..

But he use to be the GM there, and had ties there.. They were obviously going to take the Lakers offer over any other.

 

[cruzg24]

Really?

If he wanted to stay in Denver, he wouldve already signed with the Nuggets. It makes no sense to wait it out and see what happens. Nothing else is going to change, the Nuggets have some heavy contracts that they cant move.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

I wasn't a big fan of the large contract signing for the both of them lol.

 

[RipCity32]

I was at first, but now I'm just completely disappointed by it.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

I was saying that because that money could have been spent this year.

 

[cruzg24]

Knicks up 41-32 on the Nuggets. Fields and Chandler are shooting very well right now.
