I was only happy b/c the Lakers won

hey, your Wolves have done a TREMENDOUS job for the franchise.

If you can grab away an Eddy Curry from the Bulls, or another center who can score, you guys have a great chance to get to the NBA Finals

I wouldnt recomment Curry. I think an underachieving lazy center would be no better then the lazy underachieving center they have now

eddy curry is very good great scorer. rebounder he would do a lot better than candy

You are absolutely correct.

But, let's face it:

for every Michael Jordan, Magic, Larry Bird, Kobe, there are thousands and thousands of players not worth the money

As a matter of fact, I dare say that Shaq isn't worth the money.

If he had 1/2 the passion, dedication, and desire that Kobe does, Shaq would be the Most Dominant Ever Center.

You can't anoint yourself the greatest; that's something others bestow upon yourself.

Kobe is one of the very few who continually work out in the off-season to become better.

Most players are like Shaq - they fool around with other activities.

Shaq even has said he works out on "company time", meaning that he'll be in shape when he's playing ball. but, in the summer, that's his time to do what he wants.

Other than Yao Ming and Ben Wallace, I can't think of a good center. Perhaps Brad Miller, if he wasn't so soft.

lolol, you are right about Milicic

He may one day turn out to be a good center....

but right now, he's playing 1 minute every 5th game.

I don't know what the Pistons saw in him, but to be the #2 pick overall, and then not play at all is kind of weird, eh?

[stalking_WOLF_21]

larry brown dosen't play rookies there first year. Look at Dalenbert. He didn't play his rookie year now he plays well for sixers

lololol...there have been a number of games where Milicic could've play at least 1 minute, but he never even got into games of blow-outs

when you are drafted in the top 10 of the 1st round, you are expected to be able to play.

That's why you are the #1 draft pick, or the #2 pick, etc.

Now, if you were picked in the 2nd round, then perhaps it's understandable that you don't play at all.....

but there's a reason you are the #2 pick overall

[stalking_WOLF_21]

it's just larry browns way of dealing with rookies

[MikeY11]

i feel sorry for Milicic, being the second pick and then NOTHING!!

But the Nuggets arent, what a present from the Pistons!

Well the game has 3 minutes left in the game..............and all I got to say is................OMG Kareem Rush, he is freaking crazy. After Shaq not being able to sink a free throw I thought I was doomed (bet) but Kareem Rush is single handling saving me.............maybe I should forget Merkin, I should start getting rush cards lol.

Decided to edit instead of new post: Hassle should be shot, so much for me winning :(
