  1. It figures that would happen on Fontenot's first hit in a month.
  2. That's about the only way he can do anything useful these days.
  3. Destroy a team? Are you kidding me? Don't talk about...destroying a team. I just hope we can win a game!
  4. I wonder if this precludes them from making a midnight offer to Gordon.
  5. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-burressvick062909&prov=yhoo&type=lgns I can understand Plaxico being suspended because his case hasn't taken its course through the justice system yet but suspending Vick just seems like Goodell being a power tripping douche. Yeah, it's awful but he did his time and if some team wants to give him a shot they should be able to pursue him without the threat of a suspension.
  6. I'd like to see that but it's not something I'd ever predict. When's the last time Federer has lost to Roddick?
  7. Yeah, way too many name guys. Hector Almonte and Valerio de los Santos are thrown in to give it some credibility.
  8. Don't know where to put this but http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-yaorockets062909&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Yao likely out for all of next year and possibly the rest of his career.
  9. Are you supposed to find "difference makers" in the middle of the first rd? The last decent player picked at 16 was Hedo Turkaglu and that was 2000, I believe. At this point if Johnson turns out to be Gomes, then it is a solid pick. That's a little extreme. I'm talking about good players on winning clubs...guys like that are found in the middle to late parts of the 1st round every year.
  10. It doesn't really bother me if a player is pissed off at his own performance and bashes some inanimate objects to blow off some steam. I guess if you're in the dugout or clubhouse and see it on a semi frequent basis it would get old.
  11. If Johnson is Ryan Gomes I'll be pretty disappointed in that pick even at #16. Admittedly, I don't know a whole lot about Gomes but he's just another guy it seems like. Is he a difference maker?
  12. Heh, I'm not one to buy into the whole team chemistry concept but Milton Bradley is a guy that makes you rethink that position.
  13. Actually (on the air) he's taking it quite well Complete silence is Hawk in an apoplectic rage.
  14. impressive. tracy smith, aleks maric, sean may. kind of makes you wonder why he went where he did, eh? And look at how far he is from all of them by percentage. Then look at where any of those guys are in defensive rebound percentage. They had another article that showed him as the best overall rebounder in college history. Rebounding is one of the highest translated stats from NCAA to NBA. we'll see how he does. i'm betting he does just as well as any other undersized power forward who physically dominated college players. That's pretty dumb. The spectrum of undersized power forwards ranges from training camp fodder to all time NBA greats.
  15. I like how DX and NBAdraft.net crap out on the biggest days of the year for them.
  16. I can say that I've seen Gibson play more than any other player in this draft. Pros: Shot blocking, decent traditional post up game, can knock down the face up jumper, and he'll mix it up down low. Cons: Lacks strength and is definitely a hard gainer. He was a beanpole coming into SC and he didn't put much muscle on. I doubt he'll be able to establish position in the pros. I think he has a shot at being in a rotation but shot blocking is the only skill he has that you would consider in the very good to elite category of the draft. My issue is that shot blocking wasn't a problem for this team, it was beef and defensive rebounding.
  17. lol, who thought we just got Thabo back?
  18. I could live with Ellington here too.
  19. Blair's knee must be scaring a ton of teams off. Wouldn't be surprised if Young went ahead of him at this point.
  20. OKC's gotta be ecstatic Blair's available though right?
