As opposed to JR Smith, right? Seriously though, he said players like Fields, players who don't need the ball to contribute, guys who help contribute on the glass, play defense and don't force their games. Obviously Fields isn't a starting player on a championship team, nobody is saying otherwise, but you need guys like him (again, like him) who are happy doing the dirty work and contribute in ways other than scoring. As for the Raptors game tonight: - I thought Lowry was bad the first 3 quarters. Aside from his defense on Jennings, I didn't like what I saw from him through the first 3 quarters. A lot of his passes were way off target and he looked sloppy. However, once he came back in the game during the 4th it was a complete 180. He was huge and made key play after key play down the stretch. He is the first real "closer" that the Raptors have had since pre-Horford TJ Ford. - DeRozan really took advantage of his size against the smaller Milwaukee backcourt. Whenever he had Ellis, Jennings or Udrih guarding him, he immediately established post position and went to work. He really needs to learn to pick his spots better, though. He has too many of those 1 on 3 attacks that result in either a wild shot or forced turnover. If he continues to operate in the post, I really hope he develops his passing game, especially since his height will allow him to see over the top of most 2 guards. I don't ever expect 5 assists a game from him, I just want him to be less of a blackhole. - Bargnani's offense looks to be starting to come around. I've liked what I've seen from him defensively for most of the preseason and that continued tonight. On offense, his jumper doesn't look nearly as flat as it was in the earlier games and he is moving better as well. What I liked the most from him tonight was his rebounding. I realize he only got 4 boards, but I think 3 of those were late in the 4th and they weren't his usual gimmie boards. He really fought for them and came away with tough boards in traffic. As long as he comes up with the big boards late, I'm fine with him being a sieve on the glass for first 40. Ok, maybe I'm not fine with it, but I can put up with it, haha. - Valanciunas was his usual active self. I think he finished with 10/8/4 and I love the fact that he went 8-10 from the line. It may not be as much of a factor this season, but in future years when he adds strength and gets more comfortable, his free throw shooting is going to get him a lot of points given how often I expect him to be at the stripe. I think it is safe to say that Valanciunas has earned the starting spot and the only time Gray should see the floor is when they are playing Howard or Bynum. - Amir and Ed make up one of the best bench big duos in the league, especially if Amir's new found shooting prowess continues into the regular season. His jumper has looked fantastic so far in the preseason. Davis is just a beast on the glass (5 boards in 12 minutes tonight). I really like having these two off the bench. Now for the negatives: - Fields was brutal tonight. His rebounding was solid, but other than that he was just bad. He has absolutely no confidence in his shot at all and needs to totally re-work it. It is just completely broken and it is at the point where it looks like Casey can't afford to have him on the floor late in the game because his shooting is such a liability. - Way too many turnovers. I think they finished with around 20 and a lot of them were unforced. This has been a problem all preseason and is something that they really need to work out because they don't have enough talent to overcome this many turnovers on a nightly basis. - The Calderon/Lucas backcourt is giving me nightmares from the Forderon or Cack lineups that we used to see. Play them for a full 48 minutes together during the last preseason game for all I care. I just pray that I see very, very little of it during the regular season. I'll end the post here to avoid making it an unreadable wall of text.

In LA he was constantly playing in front of stars and some of the sexiest women alive. In Philly the only people he has to impress are Meek Mill and the ugly bitch from It's Always Sunny.

What the hell? http://distilleryimage1.s3.amazonaws.com/b240ffd01b3d11e2984522000a1fbda3_7.jpg http://bc02.rp-online.de/polopoly_fs/don-king-beruehmteste-box-promotor-welt-1.1591390.1313830571!/httpImage/3336753535.jpg_gen/derivatives/rpo32_457/3336753535.jpg

The Lowry/JV pnr has so much potential. Really excited to see those two this year.

Notsureifsrs......... That was the point. That is why Romney did fine tonight. He didn't need to separate himself from Obama on foreign policy. All he had to say was, "Yes, I agree with Obama on everything with foreign policy, so no need to worry there, but I'm different because I'll create jobs". He's going to agree with him on foreign policy, but disagree with him on the most important issue in the election which is the economy and jobs. Liberals want to think that hurt Romney tonight, but it without a doubt helped him.

LOL

"Government doesn't create jobs" "I'll create 12 million new jobs"

Romney hitting Obama with the numbers. That little phaggot Obama like to interrupt like the little bitch he is.

That certainly didn't happen when he skipped them on his apology tour. Libs are nervous as hell right now. They can't provide any good reasons why this failure deserves another four years.

Oh my god Less horses and bayonets We have these things called carriers gg mittens

This shit about needing to be the first everywhere with the military is so [expletive]ing stupid.

Yeah, I'm running out of ammo, though.

Bradley plays the two. He was the backup PG last year, but did see a lot of minutes at the SG slot, and plans were to have him start in the backcourt with Rondo this season, anyway (once they got rid of Ray Ray). He would have been defending Wade in the playoffs, and I think Boston would have won that series. Also, Lee isn't that bad of a defender. He's no Bradley (arguably the best perimeter defender in the league), but still...

Can someone with a 1024x768 resolution (and no widescreen monitor) take a screenshot for me? I need one of the main index, please...and make sure you get the main title bar in there (ex. where it says EASTERN CONFERENCE: ATLANTIC DIVISION). Thank you.

Ah, I knew it. You can't read the categories. I had this weird feeling that the image was sneaking behind the category titles. Thanks Wali.

By the way, sorry that I'm coming off as an ass right now. I'm focused on this site. I don't care about a hacker, don't care about anyone who doesn't have the brains and needs to pay a hacker, and I don't care to bother even reading anything that relates to it.

Good. Not that big of a deal though. Don't even know who he is, don't really care to know what he said. Topic closed.

This guy never emailed me, and there's nobody else telling me anything about the hack. There's really no point in bothering with them. In the end, the guy didn't get what he truly wanted. It's like taking a guy's baseball bat before he hits you with it, only to find that his fists are just as lethal, and he lays you out without the bat.

Mason pointed this out. I'll have to re-code the profile template and see if I can fix that issue. Might be a project for tomorrow night.

I'll pay you money if you can tell me who did it and prove that it was him. Email me: otrbasketball@live.com Please.
