  1. Tim Howard is the man
  2. That looked like an ugly fall for OG
  3. How is that not a foul on Yedlin's run?
  4. I never thought I would say this... But I think they are really missing Beckerman in the midfield
  5. Almost wish they had moved Cameron to right back and brought in beckerman
  6. Shoot... Fab going down is bad news
  7. We seem too content to just boot it upfield... But I guess that is better than turning it over deep in our own end
  8. I love it.
  9. It would seem to me then that Lebron is going to come back too and they will all restructure to get another good player or two... Haslem, opted out too
  10. Katz reporting that Miami wants to trade up for Napier... What are they going to trade?
  11. I would not have minded Harris and the foreign big guy (nurkic?) and to possibly give up another pick on top of it? They must have really loved McDermott
  12. Yeah good pick up for them, can slide Oladipo to SG now and put Payton at PG. That would give them a really long and solid defensive backcourt, but Payton pretty much can't shoot right now and oladipo may have improved but he's not exactly a lights out shooter either
  13. Shoot, I didn't even realize he was still out there... He would be so much better to have in my opinion... I think he can come in immediately and defend and hit threes as well as be good in transition and a decent secondary ball handler
  14. Well, it looks like they're going for another top pick next year... But the top prospects (towns, okafor, Alexander) seem to trend toward big guys... Which they now have Saric, embiid, and Noel in the front court... Even if Saric won't be here for a couple years
  15. Well, if they end up with Melo, McDermott probably becomes a scorer off the bench for them, right? I think he could be great in that role.
  16. Totally agree. Great pick. At worst they have the best front line the league in 2-3 years. no, at worst Embiid becomes Greg Oden and Nerlens Noel doesn't develop an offensive game and ends up being Omer Asik with good hands (who would be a good player, but not part of the best front line in the league) Embiid is a much better player than Oden. Much better athlete and far more polished game. Oden had/has no jumper or moves around the basket. He was pure power. Noel is a far better athlete than Asik. His ceiling is Tyson Chandler and his floor Tyrus Thomas. Your comparisons make no sense. He becomes Oden if his injuries keep him from ever making an impact... not saying it will happen, but big guys with back and foot injuries don't have great track records... the human body just doesn't work like that. And Asik probably was a bad comparison, I just thought of the first defense-only big man I could think of that actually has some talent.
  17. It's 4 I thought? First 2 years guaranteed and then 2 team option years follow that. but then he's a restricted free agent and they get him if they want him
  18. Totally agree. Great pick. At worst they have the best front line the league in 2-3 years. no, at worst Embiid becomes Greg Oden and Nerlens Noel doesn't develop an offensive game and ends up being Omer Asik with good hands (who would be a good player, but not part of the best front line in the league)
  19. I'M CHRIS BROUSSARD AND I AM SHOUTING!
  20. that was a beautiful counter, too bad Bedoya was the one trying to finish... and what an effort by Lahm to get back
  21. I would Jurgen won't do it, but I'd love to see him throw Julian Green in there for JJ just to say, he's ours
  22. should we remove Jones now? possible concussion... playing on yellow...
  23. Portugal goal! CR7 may have saved our bacon
  24. That is seriously heartbreaking... Cameron just had such an awful night
  25. and how the heck do you blow the final whistle there?
