Remember when Jareth used to contribute to the forums? Hutchence Too? Think back to the days before the lol cat's and chicken tender basket were created, was it better then? Are alt accounts just an enigma that will fizzle out when the creators realize they spend way to much time on these forums? Will they get promoted to Mod for the mere fact that they post 200+ times a day under 5 different accounts? Are the mods turning a blind eye because it's the offseason, or are alt accounts here to stay?

Chicago must be willing to overpay JJ because if they make an offer to JJ that available cap space will be put on hold since jj is restricted

Please Jack don't tell me your PM'ing people pics of your sack again? Remember when you got suspended last offseason.

I've just about had enough with our finese 4's...I want a red meat eating muscle head at the 4 who can hit a midrange jumper and play defense. We had him on the roster last year and SVG let him gather dnpcd after dnpcd.

Although according to some members here he can no longer play the SF position. The same posters who like to insult educated members by saying we gather our BB knowledge from "Talking Heads" on TV. The TRUTH is that Rashard Lewis is a natural SF who plays out of position as a PF.

quote: Originally posted by LeBrickJames: quote: Originally posted by jecMagicMan: quote: Originally posted by LeBrickJames:I like him. I hope he stays. edit: SVG is an idiot for not using him more against Boston. So that he could get torched by KG/Sheed/Davis/insert PF? What? He absolutely OWNED Davis when he covered him. He also did a pretty decent (although not perfect) job on KG. He doesn't have to guard Sheed so that's out of the question. You're missing the fact that the guy BARELY played for us at all during the season. Let the guy play and get used to the system. You can't bench him the whole year and then expect him to be Dwight Howard on the court. All I am saying is that he has ALOT potential. I could see him BEASTING if used in the right manner. SVG fakes it with the PF position, so it's no wonder the guy doesn't feel like he's wanted. SVG really pissed me off this series. We had such a great lineup in Games 4 and 5, and then we decide to CHANGE IT during game 6? The guy has a solid midrange jumper and could be a BEAST on defense if taught correctly by SVG. Move Rashard to the 3 and let him abuse the people who try to guard him. Done and Done. I Agree with you, we need a true PF to help dwight downlow and Bass has a lot of potential. Unlike Gortat he has a Very good midrange jumper. I would've rather had Bass out there with Dwight.

For a team that consistently struggled to score and didn't have a single matchup on the floor that forced Boston to double...it defies logic that SVG didn't attempt to force this matchup at least in spurts when the offense bogged down. Without any will to take a shot at Stan right now, but this was really a bad bad choice IMO. Bass was forgiven in the bench too... having him @PF, with Shard @SF while Dwight was resting or in foul trouble, would have been a good way to create a mismatch. No need to have 4 shooters on the lineup if Dwight is sitting. DING DING DING. You sir are correct.

quote: Originally posted by GhostAnime:He did almost nothing in Dallas statistically speaking. You realize that right? "Statistically speaking" Who cares? I Prefer to watch how a player impacts a game. There is so much more to a game than stats, I wish people would realize that. I'm going to use this example to show you you can't always judge a player's worth by stats and not comparing the players. Take T-mac he didn't do much "statistically" in his first 2 season's in Toronto when he was averaging 19 mpg. Then in his third year he got 31mpg and showed improvement. Do you think T-Mac was deserving of a MAX deal "statistically" with his Stats from Toronto? If you require stats to tell if a player had an impact consider in his last 2 seasons Bass had a PER of 16 or more. Stats aside, Brandon Bass is a very physical player who just seems to love contact. Bass is very imposing at 6?8? and 250 pounds. He is not all size though, he mixes his size with great athletic ability and a Great midrange game. Bass was considered the 2nd Best Young Up and comming PF behind Utah's Paul Millsap. Otis thought enough about hime to sign him to a 4 yr $18 million deal. Says SVG "He's a guy who can score. He can make a 17-foot jumper. He can score in the low post. He can put it on the floor and take you to the basket, and he

I don't think Otis gambled that Vince would be the scorer to put us over the top. He decided he was not going to sign Hedo for 5 years and this was the best move he could make. Otis knew what fool's gold was so I doubt he was overly exited about Vince. He put the best corporate face out there but this was more about not signing Hedo and having to bring someone in, more than Otis feeling he was getting a savior. IMO of coure. i agree. we weren't entering the offseason going "wow i hope vc is available". We needed to make a move and it was the best one. I think i would've rather kept Courtney Lee

How long have we been crying for a True PF with a midrange game to help Dwight? Otis goes out and grabs a good defensive PF with a GREAT midrange game and what does SVG do with him? NOTHING. Do you think Otis and SVG are on the same page? I don't, However, I still like SVG but I think we need to see what we have in Bass. Remember him in Dallas?

Rashard has admitted himself that he can't. He is too adjusted to the 4 and is not a spring chicken anymore. I'll trust a player's word about their own body and ability than a lone poster on the forum. Pierce is no spring chicken either. All he does is pump fake and go to the line. I'm not saying use him there all year but we had pieces we could've used this series. In the playoffs we never even tried using Bass at the 4 with Shard at the 3 because we let him rot on the bench collecting DNP's all year. How smart does it look now that SVG gave all those minutes to Ryan Anderson, he was very ineffective in the post season, Bass looked much better. Do you have any links for Shard saying he can no longer play the 3? Ryan was extremely effective over the season though We all know how things change in the playoffs. If titles we're handed out in the regular season Lebron would have several Titles. I'm not hating on Ryan but we never even Honestly tried Bass at the 4. Is this because he can't shoot the 3? If so why sign him in the first place? we never tried Foyle at the 5 either... Stupid arguement
