How can NBA gm's pass on Love?

Why'd the Wizards have to care about winning this season.

I was hoping for a top 10 pick and banking on NBA gm's passing on the American white guy until around then.

No way is Lawson falling that far unless the Wizards are owed some great Karma. And even then at that point how could we pass on Hansbrough?

how could we pass on hans? easily, just look at him and say


i wish we could trade up and get bayliss.

[mofome]

I think Rick Carlisle just shot a load over the idea of Love falling to 9th and dropping into his fastbreak system. Given the right collection of talent around him, the kid has the ability to revolutionize the game with his outlet passes.

Yeah, sure, Blake Griffin will be drafted ahead of him.

I was going to point out how 3 pac-10 guys are in the top 5 but then i remembered how mean the pac-10 fans are.

[hoopster42]

collison at #13, no way, absolutely no way, he will be lucky to even get drafted, let alone go in the first round, nba scouts are awesome, they can see when a go has no upside, collison is an exceptional college player who will ride a bench in the nba or play overseas, take this to the bank, i nail these predictions regularly

Grizzlies wont take another PG, they have a bunch and just took Conley last year.

I hope bayliss doesn't run the point in the nba. hes undersized for a 2, but thats where he seems most natural.

[rjt721]

Apparently, Russell Westbrook had a debilitating accident I'm not aware of. Not in the first round?

He will. And he should.

I would be OK with this. I like this kid and would be happy to see the Raptors draft him. I think he goes higher though.

[hoopster42]

i nail bitches.

been there done that.

[mofome]

been there done that.

[hoopster42]

after a few yrs of doing it, you get it outta your system. then you marry a great woman and you dont care about the old life, you only care about making money and taking care of your family, you are young MO, you will see what i'm talking about in maybe 7 yrs or so, LOL

All that i currently care about is my friends and family. I don't go out much or seek the one-night-stands. I do, however, have trouble passing on the opportunity to make a sarcastic comment.

[Sportsgirl]

(dont read this nance, just a reply that comes out when i read certain statements. I can not help my lack of maturity. )

So, my sarcasm of "were you 12?" wasn't taken kindly I'm guessing?

[hoopster42]

Ummm...yeah. That 1 inch height advantage better be worth alot!

one inch height advantage = 3 inch reach advantage,

yes, i used to coach HS basketball, and won CIF in CA 3 out of 5 yrs

[mofome]

To me it isn't, especially once I've seen him outplay Brook Lopez and his 3" height/9" reach advantage 3 times head-to-head this year.

they had similar numbers in each of those games.

[mofome]

If you consider 46 pts on 50 FG attempts for Lopez and 44 pts on 33 FG attempts for Love to be "similar" then you would be absolutely correct!

points, boards were similar. love was 4-13 with 6 boards in the final meeting. he did not outplay Lopez in that game. You said he outplayed him in each meeting. That is not correct. Love shot over 50% in one of the meetings. In that game he was 4 of 7. Neat.

[mofome]

Ummm...OK...obviously the scoresheet always tells everything, I forgot that. Like where it mentions Love going down with an injury early in that game and then playing through it. That must be in the really fine print.

Feel free to remove the word "Tennessee" from your disclaimer at any time.

Feel free to mention your IQ being 19 next time you post so we know not to take you seriously. had i known you would have 31 excuses i wouldn't have replied to your nonsensical comments. did love also walk to the game, uphill, in the snow, without shoes, on the day his daughters ferret died?

[mofome]

Maybe so, maybe not, but he sure-as-hell outplayed Brook Lopez on March 7th, 2008. Perhaps if you had actually watched the game you might understand. Feel free to consult someone other than me who did.

...and I'm ready for our head-to-head IQ matchup any time you are son...and it won't be nearly as close as the Love-Lopez battles.

1) I did watch the game.
2) Love was fairly dominant in one of the matchups with stanford, in that game Lopez had 18 and 13?
3) IQ "matchup". Gladly. Perhaps we can arrange a contest of some sort at the bash? We can have an IQ test, throw a football, lift some weights, pick up some women, box, run, and/or do anything else that involves a competition b/w you and I. If you win any, i'll cut your lawn with scissors every day for a month.

[mofome]

I'll have to work on getting me a lawn then. Thanks for the advance notice!

good times as always. Even when we disagree, which is often, much respect.

[mofome]

Respect right back at ya.

I could never completely disrespect a man with that initial avatar you had anyway.

I was sad when they shut me down.

[mofome]

I was away for awhile there. You're telling me that the powers that be here cracked down on avatars?!?! I guess that explains why everybody's avatar is suddenly a jersey.

haha yeah, no more moving avatars.
