* New York: Quentin Richardson. STRIVED in that d’antoni’s system when with suns. prolly gonna try it again.
* New Jersey: jarvis has the experience and is more consistent.
* Minnesota: gomes because of his newly signed contract.
* San Antonio: dont like either. but bruce is better… right now.
* LA Clippers: give it to al thornton!
* Phoenix: grant hill.
* Portland: its a toss up. both have improved. i think martell would be better tho. oden/aldridge in the paint. bayless the penetrator. roy could do anything. but if ever in a jam. pass it to the shooter on the perimeter.

You guys forgot about the raps… Kapono vs. Moon vs. Graham (yeah right).

I call Kapono since his coming out party in the playoffs and the added inside presence of O’Neal inside.

I’m out like “Golden Graham”

Gallinari is not ready to start, but Q-Rich needs to go so he’ll start and maybe even do good in a shot happy offense like D’Antoni’s but he’s getting shipped ASAP. I’d like to see Chandler get some burn…

Do you think they’d really start Gallinari to justify taking him at No. 6? Doesn’t that sound like the type of poor management that they’re trying to move past?

NYK: Danilo Galinari (i am a big Q-Rich fan, but he will prolly be best a a shooter off the bench. They put so much into the drafting of Galinari that they have to justify the decision and they have to start him. they already got booed for the pick and not playing him makes matters worse. I havent seen Chandler play this summer but i heard he was making cats look foolish so he may have a chance)

NJN: Yi Jianlian (marketing. thats where he wanted to be in the first place so the Nets will take advantage and attract the asian community to Jersey and then Brooklyn when they move. CDR and Hayes can actually play the 2 or 3 so the Nets have enough back court strength)

Minny: Corey Brewer (really a toss up cuz they each bring something different. Gomes can play 4 in a small lineup. and i think Carney is a better scorer but ultimately i think Miller will start at the 3. unless brewer put on some weight and improved his offensive game he wont be seeing much burn)

S.A.: Bruce Bowen (he’s not done yet but the end is near. instead of using his physical abilities and skill, he is relying more and more on dirty little tricks and cheap shots to defend players. he can still hit the corner three but he is one sprain away from retirement)

LAC: AL Thornton (Mr. Excitement by a landslide, why was this a discussion. Thomas is never gonna live up to the potential.)

Pheonix: Grant Hill (sorry but i still think a healthy Grant Hill is better than the rest of the 3s on the team. Barnes can run the 4 in a smaller lineup and Alando tucker will eventually take over hills spot once he leaves, Boris Diaw had his chance)

Portland: Toss up (niether has proved that they deserve to start. they should run blake, bayless and roy as 1-2-3 or bayless, hernandez and roy as 1-2-3)

I cant wait for the day somebody knocks out Bowen.
Im not sure if its gonna be an opposing player, coach or just a random fan who tired of seeing his cheapshots.
Cheap Shot Bobby (Robert Horry), Bruce Bowen, Manu Ginobli, man this team’s full of floppers and cheaters…

ITS NO WONDER WHY THEY NEVER REPEATED, their “dynasty” is as worthy as George Bush’s intelligence. In fact, when the Spurs win, the best thing to do is bet against them in the playoffs the following year, these chokers aint winners. How you got the “best” team but you lose the title every second year? The best team doesn’t win 50% of the time, ask Jordan, Shaq, Hakeem, they’ll tell you what being a real champ is all about…
