A bit of a homer comment, I think. We'd be lucky indeed to have two top 15 players. How do you know that Francis is this good? What separates...
Alas alas alas. Mostly correct, but you make one crucial mistake: Assuming that Steve's value is remotely near the max, then he's a tradeable...
No. Think. Please. Am I referring to the last 3 games? No. I'm referring to an entire season in which his "good periods" have become...
Cato in the game with Yao? Eeek! It almost begs the other team to cheat with the PF, safe in the knowledge that: 1. Cato very well might not...
No. Opinions are not drawn wildly out of the air. They're the basis of preference, inferences, and evidence. As such, some are much better...
Only one comment: The idea that it's only "fair" to Francis to explore trading Yao as well has at its basis a premise that Francis is an...
1. I do not believe Francis is overpaid. 2. Your list is relatively meaningless. All it proves, at best, is that some teams potentially...
Players that are definitely superior at the moment: Garnett, Duncan, Shaq (ugh) Players who are almost certainly better: Kobe, McGrady,...
Would you agree that there has been a steady, general upward progression in Yao's play? He has stops and starts... but I think anybody would have...
He also steps on the 3pt line a lot. Just an oddity. OH well - if he needs his concentration to make the shot, I guess that part's ok.
Very good point. I almost started a thread about this exact issue today, but about Hakeem and Clyde. It's hard to score 20 ppg. There are some...
I think it's tough to argue that JVG is a good clock manager. Several times, he's left the team in a situation without the ability to advance the...
There are four issues pertinent to praising or criticizing a player, imo: 1. His performance in an individual play 2. His performance in a...
I remember that. Seemed that once upon a time, he was accounted a great guy and a borderline all-star. Then he just faded away. Guess it shows...
Agreed, there... though it's more fair w/Shaq. Shaq commits a lot of offensive calls that don't get whistled. Yao commits far fewer. And it was...
If you've read my posts today, you'd see that I'm blaming both. My complaint is that SamFisher, a normally objective poster, seems to take...
Yeah, he had trouble with Najera. But wasn't it also true that Yao was getting fouled on nearly every play but Najera? Najera didn't have a...
:confused: I thought the Mavs actually mixed up the coverage pretty well in the 2nd half. At times, it was Najera. At times it was a double...
Said this another thread, actually, but it's appropriate here, too: When it was impossible to get the ball to Yao in the late 3rd, early 4th......
My biggest problem with this argument is that they don't hesitate to call their own #'s when they're not playing well. At one point in the late...
