5 Ast-5 FG

Asked what kind of player he expects to be in the next five years, he said: "Not a star, but like, a superstar. Something around, like, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, something like that."

So far so good.

General manager needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow,next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

That's what I'm saying...

Radmanovich looks huge out there. There was a court angle on one of the links earlier and it was like driving against a wall. You don’t get that view from the 300 level. It’s nuts.

The guy takes some of the dumbest shots. Hopefully we let him go and draft Stephen Curry to take his place.

by illini23 on Nov 18, 2008 10:05 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Steph Curry

Is legit. One of the better shooter i’ve seen. He is also a damn good defensive player unlike BG. Less $$ also..

And BG

is really good anyways.
I mean, if we drafted Stephen Curry I’d be ecstatic, but that doesn’t mean we drop BG for the hope of drafting Curry.

You’ve never seen Curry play before. He’s on ESPN2 right now…take a look.

Curry to Gordon is insane…go away

Gordon is not worth the $

And Curry isn’t much of a drop off. We can sign Wade in 2010 and have Curry be the sharp shooter of the bench

Couldn't disagree more

He took ONE really bad shot, otherwise he was getting great looks. I’ll take those other shots every possession.

He dribbled all the way down the court on a break rather than pass to the point guard, IIRC

Then took a shot for himself. It was, IMO, a bad decision; he got himself an open 12-foot shot on the move, but I’d rather have seen what D-Rose would have gotten out of the possession.

Perfect.

Now translate it into Spanish and say it with a husky Argentine accent.

Gasol has 24 points

Still rather him try to beat us than Kobe

by RogersPark Kris on Nov 18, 2008 10:50 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Sure...

But many of those points came FROM Kobe… So… Isn’t he beating us by proxy anyway?

True

He was on the receiving end on a lot of those unnecessary no-look, behind-the-back passes from Kobe.

Wow

Can’t believe we’re sorta in this game. I was too busy watching the unbelievable Stephen Curry drop 44 against Oklahoma.

I cannot watch….though Curry is awesome.

Curry is a beast for sure

The kid got more ridiculous than last year. What kind of pro will he be?

by StevenKerr on Nov 18, 2008 10:55 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

How tall is he?

Because if he’s not 6’6 he will suck. I mean, that’s why no one likes Gordon right?

by Ozzie Montana on Nov 18, 2008 10:59 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Exactly...

Gordon is a midget, he should retire now.

Don't call me doughboy!

In all seriousness...

I actually love Gordon but Curry is very slight of frame. I have no idea what kind of pro he’ll be though.

A damn good one

Reminds me of Ray Allen. Phenomenal shot and is so good working without the ball.

by illini23 on Nov 18, 2008 10:58 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Tough one to call

One thing is for sure, Curry can shoot lights out.

by RogersPark Kris on Nov 18, 2008 10:58 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Could be risky

So could Redick though… Would he have to play the point?

by StevenKerr on Nov 18, 2008 10:59 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I'm interested in seeing what the forecasting models have to say about him

Players with limited skill sets (i.e. lack of diversity, identified through statistical manipulation) typically have no chance in the NBA, such as J.J. Redick, who the forecasting models successfully compared to Trajan Langdon, Shawn Respert, et al, and realized he’d be a bust.

I’m not saying that Curry will be a bust, just saying a college player needs to do a LOT more than shoot and score to translate his game to the NBA. Even guys like Paxson and Kerr who were one-dimensional players in the NBA, I guarantee if you look up their college stats you’ll be surprised at the depth of their games.

I heard

Curry can play some D and dish decently, too. But that’s not his role. Davidson needs scoring. They kind of force him to shoot 50 zillion times.
I mean, heck, he did get 44 points today, but he was 11 of 29. 29?!? Yeeeah.

Gary Payton and Chris Webber just did the UNTHINKABLE!!!

They pretty much called Luol Deng garbage. Payton said he doesn’t expect Deng to show up THIS YEAR and Webber said the key to the game is consistency…and that Deng has been getting consistently worse.

Payton said that Deng has gotta bring it now that the Bulls have paid him all this money. He said that as players get to know your game, you gotta bring something different to the table and Deng hasn’t done that.

It all sounds pretty spot on to me.

Wait...

The Man from Sudan might surprise us yet.

I just hope it’s a good surprise.

I think Deng's defense is underrated

But when his production is so lukewarm there’s no defending him. The 2nd half is his to work with.

lukewarm ... try colder than a dead body

That was harsh. Webber doesnt have a ring and must be bitter.

Deng only took a dive last season. He needs to hit the open jumpers Derrick is giving him though.

by Playboy_Bull on Nov 18, 2008 10:56 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Despite not having a ring, Webber was....

…immeasurably a better player than Deng. Webber was a legitimate top line player in the NBA for several years. Can’t fault him for not being able to beat Mike & Scottie, Stockton and Malone, Payton and Kemp, Barkley and the Phoenix Suns, Olajuwon and the Rockets and then later not being able to beat Shaq and Kobe. A LOT of folks have lost to these guys.

Um Webber was one of the best PFs of the 90s

If pre-injury Webber replaced Deng on this team you’d go crazy

What channel is that on?

PAyton is just mad because, through some physiological anomoly, he mysteriously lost his all of his reflexes in a single offseason.

Deng disappereared

He deserves to be trashed.. Besides, GP and CW are clowns. They need an analytical guy in that show.

to be fair gooden started the game on fire

Ben’s been cold but he’s not hogging the ball like at the beginning of the season. Tyrus has had two highlight plays. It’s a rough match up down low because we have no one who can man up on either Bynum or Gasol. And they have that guy Kobe. But Derrick Rose has led this team back into the game.

Ben

isn’t shooting well, but still has 18 (8 on FTs)

Agreed. Feels a lot longer than the standard 12 minutes.

It is simply amazing when you contrast athletic ability...

…between a guy like Derrick Rose and a guy like Luol Deng. Rose has that same explosive ability that guys like LeBron and D-Wade have. He comes at you like a bullet and explodes. Deng seems so unathletic. He obviously has a decent degree of athleticism, but when you put him next to Rose or any number of other wing players he looks so….average. I think that’s what ultimately frustrates me about Deng. I just have to come to grips with him not being so athletic. But I do want him to improve other facets of his game in order to make up for it though.
