  1. Same bro. Today I went to three lots before finding a spot beside residence which is a 15 minute walk. 50 metres over is free parking like what the [expletive]!
  2. Had a broken foot and then sprained ankle. Not really relevant injuries other than concern over his broken foot. Thing with teams renting Dwight, the trade value the Nets offer is still better. Any team wanting Dwight for rent is in a playoff position. I don't see him being traded though but who knows!
  3. What I was saying is I'd rather rebuild and watch players grow then sign mediocre free agents and finish 6th. Losing out on both players would be horrible but nothing you can do. Billy King has worked his butt off to create a decent situation to start winning entering Brooklyn but it's truly up to the players to join in. If they don't, Nets play in a top city in a building that is beyond amazing.
  4. We don't need him to turn into Kobe Bryant. We need these players to develop into whatever potential they can reach as even Kobe Bryant can't do jack alone. Kobe Bryant also couldn't propel the Nets into the playoffs this year. They have had a front court that was easily the worst in the entire NBA even with a top point guard. Even with that, they've had some big wins this season with a roster that should be dead last in the NBA. I don't know what we would be worried about personally. If we don't have Deron or Dwight we still move forward. If we get them, great but even with them it's a challenge to beat some of the teams in the East... especially the Heat. Only way to win without Dwight or Deron is to build for the future. Yes we won't have the championship in the five years stated but I'd rather our management go full out to win and strike out than build a 6th place team just to get dominated in the first round like we did with Vince.
  5. I don't know why we wouldn't lack confidence? Past three years we've aimed to find a major piece to head into Brooklyn. Management missed out on Carmelo and LeBron then netted Deron. If we don't get Dwight and lose Deron, we have a top five pick and a promising bunch of young guys to build off of. I don't think any Net fan should be disappointed but more relieved that we can start building or winning for the future.
  6. I think it can only be a positive having Nash as a general manager. Unlike the USA, the talent pool to pick from is smaller and the choices right now are pretty simple. Plus his name alone is great for our country to get a bigger buzz going with basketball. An overhaul is needed anyways and it comes at a perfect time to mold a team that would be competitive in in six years.
  7. Having the best season in school history yet controversy keeps swirling. Perfect timing too.
  8. Excuses for what? It's simply and observation from what I've seen watching him over his career. Am I happy he is seven foot and only averaging 7.5 rebounds for his career? Not really, but at the same time you take the good with the bad. He's an offensive player first and above average at that.
  9. There really aren't too many teams with two dominant rebounders and even then you look at their roster and you can see how talent surrounding them makes a huge difference. Even last year when Lopez had his lowest rebounding total, he was still top 20 in offensive rebounds. The previous season he had mono and lost a lot of weight. This year he gained weight but then lost it again while having to wear a cast so once he is able to put some weight on and maybe have some defensive players, he won't have to help as much and can actually stay on his man.
  10. Really don't think this affects anything really. Magic never seemed interested in Lopez or at least the media made it seem that way. If Dwight wants to play with Deron in Brooklyn, then he will. Simple as that.
  11. Before Kris really turned into a rebounding beast, he was putting up decent rebound numbers. Hump is ranked just under 5th in the entire league in rebounds and the Nets are average verses opponents with rebounding as well.
  12. How come certain gameday threads never go onto the "new content" section?
  13. Why the Bobcats didn't triple team Williams is beyond me.
  14. Not only would that accident scar you for life but stopping to see if they are okay would [expletive] you forever. Glad Canada is pretty good with separating highways so if you skid off, you go into a ditch or a wall rather than oncoming traffic. Just last month I was driving to work and two cars had crashed so it was down to one lane because of the firetrucks. We were stopped in a turn and I had to get into the left hand land so checked my mirror to see a Jeep going way to fast, hit the wall and destroy the car next to me. Couldn't even open my door to see if they were okay because the jeep was a foot away from my car. Winter is scary as shit.
  15. Blows my mind in this city that wiggers actually get hot vagina.
  16. He's pretty good for a 22 year old. Couldn't imagine how good the Preds would be if they had snagged Karlsson or Myers though. By the way, did Ron Wilson get fired?
  17. Thanks! We are like dinosaurs, struggling not to go extinct.
  18. Thank you everyone for the kind words and follows. Really does help me out huge so I gotta say thank you twice!
  19. So the site I write for is slowly gaining ground and my career is finally picking up but could use your help. Like the facebook page or start following the twitter and I'll be forever grateful. If there is too many updates or find the stuff dreadful to pass over then you can unlike or unfollow but it would be great if you could. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Whats-On-Thorold/185462798222551 https://twitter.com/#!/whatsonthorold Thanks, I love you all. Stephen
  20. What a difference having a top 50 center in your lineup.
  21. Didn't have much choice? There are 50 other guys on the roster too and pretty much nothing was "improved". Add that to the fact you try and bring up young players like Savard and Ryan and you have him in a dressing room with your leader who wants out. Not only do you look stupid stating the trade request, you manage to screw up whatever chemistry was left in the dressing room. Either way I see Howson getting fired.
