Oh I thought it was because some LA players would rather go to the WORLD CUP then heal up. My fault.

I'm proud of the SPURS. I don't give a !@%* if they didn't repeat. It would have been nice but not mad at all. So please stop saying dumb stuff like that.

MAVS need a coach more then anything.

    

It isn't dumb, its truth. And did Bynum play in the world cup or what are you getting at? Lol

Bynum went to South Africa for the World Cup rather than immediately getting surgery, thus setting his knee back.



Ahhhh, I see.......yeah, ok, um the World Cup lasted like a week or two right?  And Bynum has missed the first, I dunno, 6 weeks of the regular season.  So if he had that surgery a week or two earlier he would have.........what?  Played in 3 extra December games? 

The Finals ended in the third week of the June, Bynum goes to the World Cup during the second or third week of July and doesn't get surgery until the last week of July. Maybe he had to wait until swelling went down or something but he definitely could have undergone the surgery roughly a month earlier.


So that he could have played even more regular season games.........Yeah, as I have said, I pass on that.  We're lucky he hasn't gone full Oden/Yao mode as it is, adding a few games in November/December does NOTHING to us grand scheme.  Which is why I didn't get the Spurs reference to the World Cup like it has anything at all to do with his knee.  As is the guy sat for 4 months, plays 3 games and his knee is sore again.  But we shoulda had him playing sooner? 

  I wish he would sit til the All Star break.  (though, that would kill Pau

)

Last night on local radio, Bucher was sayin Camby and Miller for Bass, Jameer and possibly Reddick to bolster the Magic front line............

Camby at the 4? 

  I dunno about all that. 

Why they keep re-posting that Roy may never be the same again quote?  We know already, and they say it every time his name comes up. 


Dwight to LA. 

  Yeah, that'll make people happy.  But that is extremely unlikely even with our penchant for reloading era after era.  I'd love to see it, but I don't think we'll have the money for that in 2 years time.

He should be sitting. But I wonder why he isn't sitting till all star week. Maybe its because the regular season matters? No who am I kidding in LA it doesn't matter.

Melo out? I expect tonight's game to be close like always.

The SPURS still have ALOT to improve. But I'm sure glad their winning games now. Unlike last year were they had fight to get into the playoffs.
NEAL moving up. TIAGO still a top rookie without playing many mins? Just wait till James Anderson comes back. Damn.

       


[h1]It's a Marathon, Not a Sprint

EDIT:
Just read that Melo out due to death in the family. Damn.

Here's the Bucher interview

Proposed trade makes sense on some fronts.

[CP1708]

There he goes again with the marathon sprint crap. 

  Yet he wants to party over the Bucks win last night. 

I don't get the Camby for Bass move.  How does that "deepen" their front court?  Just because Camby can slide to the 5 if Dwight gets in foul trouble, and Bass can't? 
To me, if they want to deepen it, they need to add someone, and KEEP Bass.  But maybe I'm off base.

If the Celtics, Lakers and Heat are the measuring stick for the Magic, Camby is a guy that can guard the likes of Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol and Chris Bosh while Howard is patrolling the paint behind him. Of course Camby's a better help defender than individual defender, but he's still a good defender nonetheless given his smarts, athleticism and length.

Watching him vs the Grizz a few weeks ago I was really impressed with the way he was rebounding, altering shots and passing the ball. Having him and Howard in the front line would be imposing defensively and I think he would do enough offensively to keep defenses honest.

Yeah I wouldn't say it deepens their front court, but I'd certainly rather have Camby over Bass in that situation.

Need as many defensive players as you can on that team and if you can get a non corpse at center on top of that you do it.

If I'm them, I'd trade Bass for Camby.. Doesn't make their front court deeper, but it makes it better...

I think you can play Camby next to Dwight without much issue... And defensively, you ain't getting a damn thing in the paint on that pair. Think it'd be a good move.
