MilitaryMagic 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 I don't doubt the system works, but does SVG's implementation of it work? And with our personnel? I'd say it's tough to argue that Rashard is a power forward - while SVG pretends he is. quote: Originally posted by Lewis4thewin:what we need is a time machine. Go back to 1997-1998.

I'm gonna go ahead and put on my tin foil hat and say this: two of those titles did not belong to the Lakers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, if Dwight is on the cusp of offensive dominance, shouldn't we do EVERYTHING in our power (and by we, I mean the organization, not us fans. Our power involves online petitions and painted posterboard at the games) to get a dominant perimeter scorer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheRevTy 6 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 Honestly, I am looking at Horry's career stats. The guy averaged a whopping 7 points, 4.8 rebounds, shot 42% (34% from 3) and he has 7 championships? How is this even possible? Is he just lucky? The ultimate glue guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
