What the hell do you think Tbird is going to do with it? Tbird actually posts pics of himself. He isn't a chickenshit that takes personal jabs at people and then hides behind his keyboard like someone that frequents this place.

Well, no. Bogut is slightly better than zaza, but he 1000% took a championship team discount. He's a legit player that would have fetched a lot more than he signed for.

They were handpicked and still nothing more than average. Average backups aren't hard to find when you are the GSW front office.

Hey if you post pics of yourself you are welcoming people to comment. This is a message board people make comments. Not posting your picture here isn't chickenshit it's what anyone with half a brain would do. there are people reading these boards would like nothing better than to frick with someone else's life IRL. It's happened plenty times.

Speaking of Mrs. Tbird, it's her birthday today

To make it basketball related, she's in her 7th year since she switched her allegiances from the Rockets to the Spurs, and she hasn't looked back

Their defense sucked last year with Terrence Jones and Michael Beasley playing at PF and guys getting minutes off the bench like Marcus Thornton, Ty Lawson, and Jason Terry.

Those guys were awful on defense and they had big-time chemistry problems which exacerbated everyone's lack of effort on D. Also, Capela was better than Dwight defensively last season. Dwight sucked.

They finished 21st defensively.

They won't be any worse than that next season even with Anderson and Gordon. The players they are replacing sucked just as bad on D.



As for the offense... one of the Rockets' weaknesses the past several years is that they were just an average at best 3-point shooting team despite the fact that they took the most 3's in the league.

Anderson and Gordon are both capable of shooting 40% from 3. Beverley shot 40% from 3 last season. Ariza shot 37% and Harden shoots 37%. Harden is going to demand so much attention that those guys are going to get a ton of open looks and they can knock them down unlike guys like Terrence Jones and Ty Lawson.

D'Antoni's offense also has more structure than McHale, and that's something the Rockets definitely needed.

The whole offense will be more efficient and will put up a ton of points.


First, you'll need to see Ryno for yourself in MANY games to see how bad defensively he is.

Secondly, EG is also pretty poor (not from a lack of effort, his knees are just shot).

As for 3pt shooting, Ryno and EG have the potential to be 40+%, but ever since that neck injury Ryno hasn't looked the same shooting 3pters although he is improving.

I know all of this. I made my post with all of that in mind.

Ryno is one of the worst defenders I have seen. Gordon isn't great. I already know all about them. I watch Pelicans games fairly often.

I know Ryno hasn't shot the 3 quite as well as before. He's still capable of having a season where he shoots 40%... and it's still way better than Jones and Beasley shooting 30% from 3.

San Antonio will beat Golden State. Bookmark it and call me dumb. The Warriors were perfectly fine and now they have no bench or inside game at all. Leonard will take the next step to 2 way Superstar, and The Warriors won't have anyone to stop Aldridge and Gasol. They will get out rebounded so badly.
