Nice Kings ad

This maybe me but I can't wait to see Blake and Love to play each other. Those two guys going after boards will be fun to see.
IMO but Blake is not a top 5 pf in the league.I think you have to put Love in that conversation when it comes to best rebounder in the league. And I don't think the Clippers front office would allow Blake to play in FIBA. Would they?

(outside of KD & Russ, but they too good to even count as young anymore

There needs to be a RUN TMC type nickname for Griffin and Gordon, DoubleG's or some +!@+ like that idk

Was talking to cdr a little bit on beale st and jennings/larry sanders came along. It never crossed my mind to ask jennings about NT. Lol

He's nowhere near hot trash, but I don't understand what AMP sees in him to say him and Griffin are the best young duo.

I like Gordon, but he's never going to be an all-star. I'll give him a 10% chance of being on the all-star team. I'm tired of the OJ/Gordon debate. I can't use the (OJ isn't in the right system) argument because people will disagree saying that's not an excuse when its obvious that he dominated in the early part of his rookie campaign as a ball dominant guard. Hell, he still averaged 17.7ppg (still more than EG) on a team with two 20ppg scorers. I would've loved to see him do that the entire season, but Hollins stepped in.  

And the Clippers will compete for the 8th seed, but Davis will probably end up getting hurt AGAIN and (even though I hope he stays healthy) Griffin might re-injure himself like most bigs do. Griffin is a beast though, it'll be interesting to see how that team pans out.

Also, some of those teams that played great last season with no injuries AT ALL to their best players will suffer some too.

Anyone else see Glenn Davis die in mid air last night?

 

[airjordan jb23]

Gordon isn't great, but he's not trash either. Him & Griffin will be fun to watch, we've seen glimpses of that so far in the preseason. I don't think they'll be this great young duo, but they'll have their highlight moments.

The O.J. Mayo-Eric Gordon comparison is the little brother to the Kobe-LeBron comparison on here.

Or D. Lee - K. Love ?

 

[hood17]

I'll take Gordon over Mayo.  Gordon is a glue guy and you'll know what your gonna get night in and night out.

The Love and Lee debate to me is who do you trust to play defense every night.

I know its only the preseason but damn can orlando be involved in any sort of competitive game??? its as if the teams they've played (Houston, new Orleans, Charlotte, and Chicago) don't show any ambition, interest, or competitive desire OR is orlando REALLY that good??

for some reason I thought you were from Texas....... Me and my girl hit up SC like once a month

.................. I could hook you up with some of my boys down there and see if you could swing by and use their wifi

EDIT: Anyway we could bump the draft back 30 minutes

 I don't think I'm gonna be able to ditch work early
