Is Pau a HOFer?

 

[addict4sneakers]

You don't forget how to block shots and rebound and that's all they need from him.

he also has a solid post game. He is very skilled offensively.

Greg Oden has a solid post game and was skilled?

When?

Those Terrell Brandon era Cavs jerseys are gorgeous . That white , black , burnt orange , and sky blue went so well together .

 

[mjsaver]

It's just funny to me with how critical NT is about any and everything , but a guy who hasn't played a decent amount of games in 4 years gets some benefit of the doubt.

Must be a nice guy or have a weird NT cult following because I just don't see it.

And the Heat ain't making it to 4 straight, not happening.....complacency , injury , luck etc something's gonna catch up to their &$$ I hope .

Keep hoping lmao

You should too , they'll need it bro there's a reason 4 straight ain't been done in so long.

So many things factor in and have to go right for it to happen, odds are against it point blank.

you can.

I'm not sure if you watched Stack Jack play last season. He's finished. He has nothing left.


He'll be 35 by the time the playoffs roll around

I think that in large part had to do with the spurs and how pop operates

He enjoyed & played well with Pop & the Spurs when he won the only title of his career.

He enjoyed them so much that he came back years later.

But now you're blaming his struggles on everything else instead of his eroding ability

Dude is washed

 

[awwsome]

you can.

Lamar cant mentally go anywhere else besides LA

This He'd play for the Sparks just to be in LA if he could

everyone enjoys winning..... hell odom would've been cool overall if he won a chip with dallas doesn't mean his heart/head would've been in dallas....ala why metta went to nyc. Although he was successful with the spurs I have no doubt capt jack probably enjoyed playing with the pacers. And as far as coming back of course he did...he was on a winning team and it isn't like he had a ton of suitors.

Sjax still, I believe can be serviceable.... I mean when you got ppl still thinking the likes of a Jason Wiiliams etc...could still play, be effective don't see why he couldn't. And its not like they need him to be some huge offensive presence. Its his toughness, his attitude/demeanor intangibles that would help the heat the most, and that's something he hasn't lost.

He hit 6 3s in the last playoff game he played in.

Ppl said the same thing about yao ming..... hell to the point that he could still be a top tier center.... Thing is oden is only there to be a serviceable big man in minimal minutes, and be a body in the paint come playoff time. Its not like folks nor the heat expecting the guy to put up double/doubles... He could at the very least just clog the lane and prevent easy rebounds/buckets and alter shots and he has done enough for the heat.

Even if he does nothing but draw fouls etc...come playoffs he has contributed. Its not like what is needed from lets say Bynum and the cavs. The heat could put literally any 6'10+ solid body out there, its just he was the only one available and he come dirt cheap. 

 

[buc em]

Wait what? He had zero points and played like 4 minutes in the last playoff game he played in against the Bulls last year. He might have scored like 4 points that whole series. Dude is toast.

The last playoff game he played in was against OKC in 2012.

And he hit 6 threes.

 

[Ja's 2¢]

Who's picking up lincoln? You know damn well bron aint want him on his team.

And Iverson agreed to a 1 year deal to play for Besiktas in the Turkish League next year. Good for him.

Sjax still, I believe can be serviceable.... I mean when you got ppl still thinking the likes of a Jason Wiiliams etc...could still play, be effective don't see why he couldn't.

Then you just didn't watch the games last year Pop didn't decrease his minutes for no reason

And its not like they need him to be some huge offensive presence. Its his toughness, his attitude/demeanor intangibles

this is how apologists typically describe scrubs, like Kendrick Perkins for example. Apologists play up the scrubs' intangibles because they suck at the game of basketball.

In the end, they're a liability. Just like perkins. Just like Stack Jack.

He hit 6 3s in the last playoff game he played in.

... Which means what exactly? He's played in nearly 60 games since then & shot below 30% from 3 in most of them. He was so putrid that Pop moved him out of the rotation. He simply doesn't have it anymore.

We just saw something similar happen to Jason Kidd. He was solid early in the season, then he fell completely off. Stack Jack is going through something similar.

Edit: We're talking about a dude who, in the highly unlikely event that Miami picks him up, would be warming the bench right next to Shard in May & June. He will have absolutely zero impact for Miami or whoever he signs with. I've spent 3 posts on him which is more than enough so I'll end it there.

Iverson going for 50

Wish AI could come back to the league
