WHEN T DID TROY MURPHY BREAK OUT LAST YEAR? Seriously. I never got the fucking memo. The only thing hes even broken out of is his mom's vag when he was born. He is what he is. Travis Outlaw sucks on his own, whoa gee, you give an NBA player money and all of a sudden he can't play as well? We've NEVER seen that before.

This is as good as Devin Harris is gonna get ok, he's way too fragile to string together any good runs. Brook Lopez, yeah its 50/50 his and Avery's fault for him sucking, but u can't blame Avery for him not fucking rebounding. I'm pissed cuz he's on my fucking Fantasy team. Oh u know Terence Williams got TRADED right? And before he was traded he had poor attitude and was in the d-league post injury. And please, are you SERIOUS when you say Terence Williams is a triple double threat? If he is a triple double threat, Brian Cardinal is a 20/20 player. Gimme a break.

Troy Murphy broke out 2 years ago and continued it last year as well...he averaged 15 and 10 for the last 2 years.

Terrence Williams had several games last season in which he put up near triple double numbers and I think he even had one or 2 games in which he went for 30/12/10 or something. To go from that to not getting off the bench and having your minutes handed to Stephen Graham and Anthony Morrow, I would probably have an attitude problem after that too.

I would agree with your Travis Outlaw point, however, with the fact that Terrence Williams, Brook Lopez, Troy Murphy, etc. all looked like they had a lot of potential last year to playing so poorly and not even getting off the bench...What you think that's a coincidence?

Does Brook really suck this much? Did Terrence really not deserve playing time over fucking Stephen Graham? Does Troy Murphy really all of a sudden suck that much? I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to have to put the blame on the coach who clearly can't seem to get the best out of his players like a good coach should be able to do...

wait wait wait

15/10, and you call that breaking out? How low an expectation do you have on your guys? Any big guy can get 15/10 on a crap team. Terence Williams has yet to understand the game, Avery comes from the San Antonio school, so he must stress (in part) fundamentals and defense, again getting stats on the worst team in the NBA last year means nothing. Most guys in the NBA have put up numbers all their lives up until the NBA, it's not that hard (for them).

And btw, even if the aforementioned guys all fulfill their potential, how much "better" are they this year? Would u go to war with any of these guys? And y the hell are we spending so much energy on the damn NETS?

Bottom line is, Melo is just dicking around. Denver wants max value for him, and no team (really) wants to give what Denver wants. It's working out to be a prisoner's dilemma, Melo probably won't go anywhere and take a big paycut when he re-signs in the summer (the new CBA kicking in.....eventually), unless Denver panicks in February and dumps him for 40 cents on the dollar.

i know right! no idea why they keep showing laker games since most of them turn out to be blowouts. i know none recently but the majority of laker games are blowouts. pisses me off. i'd rather watch other teams play who are of closer skill level.

/rant

PS: i'd rather watch the clippers. blake griffin ftw!

nba should be contracted with less games per season, the season is incredibly long and players get injured

but money is more important

theres only a handful of competitive high level basketball games per week

They need less teams. The # of gms is long but won't be changed as you reasoned, but some teams needs to effin go.

He said they would win a championship before LeBron would, by which he is more likely suggesting that LeBron will never win a championship rather than that the Cavs will actually win one anytime within the next 15 years...
