Official 2K8 NBA Draft Thread

[Nash]

I don't care who comes out of the Spurs/Hornets series, as long as they wear themselves out enough for the Lakers to coast to the Finals.

[Scourge]

I don't see them winning this series either, but Christ, last night was an improvement. Unless of course you hate the Spurs. But they played so horribly in those first two games like it was amateur hour. Last night they could have lost and I'd have been okay with that because they played well.

[Gooch]

I thought last year's Cavs team is alittle bit better than this year's team.... Or am I mistaken? Lebron seems to have no help (other than Ikusagas knocking down jump shots).

I agree that last year's team was better only because of Drew Gooden. He is a legit scorer and offensive rebounder, he must be guarded, and if given opportunties, can make you pay. Ben Wallace plays smart D but still can often be overmatched due to age, being 6' 7", and the fact that he's done as a player. Every power forward Cleveland puts on the court is a clear liabilty on offense, must contribute via scrappy play, and arguably are no better or even worse rebounders than Gooden is.

Wally and Delonte are clear upgrades over Larry Hughes, who I found out is as bad as advertised. But it was still worth it to get rid of Wallace.

[Geo]

Larry Hughes is a waste of space, truth.

Although Wally World and West have contributed as much thus far.

[Othello Harrington]

What a fucking game to be at, the atmosphere was awesome.

Ben Wallace channeled his 1998 model big time.

KG Agrees

[A Robot Bit Me]

LEBRON JAMES! WITH NO REGARD! FOR HUMAN LIFE!

[Othello Harrington]

We'll win in 7, keep hating TNL.

LEBRON JAMES! WITH NO REGARD! FOR HUMAN LIFE!

I loled.

That announcer must've been watching a bit too much WWE lately:

[Geo]

... he always says that. It's awesome.

Who isn't awesome is Rajan Rondo, who needs a post-it note glued to his forehead saying "Dumbass, stop shooting the ball, pass first and only, you're the fifth wheel of this team."

Chris Paul is the best PG in the league. Deron Williams is the second-best PG in the league. Rondo is some clown wearing a Celts jersey.

[Gooch]

I hope Boston gets knocked out quickly because the playoffs are not for the meek. Please, Cavs, win Game 5 so this thing can get over in 6 and we can all move on.

It was nice to see the Bulls puss out and lose out on D'Antoni even after having a one week head start on the sweepstakes. Hey, four for four, baby, KG, Pau, Kobe, and now D'Antoni! You have to admit, when the Bulls puss out, at least it is with big names. They'll gladly gamble with lesser names like Tyson Chandler and Ben Wallace, though. Fucking mothersonofabitch.
