Re: 11/9-11/15 NBA Discussion
I didn't know JR changed his name... or atleast wants to go back to his given name
Originally posted by Nov. 10thSmith said there are "a lot of personal reasons" that "I can't really explain at this time" for the switch. He went with J.R. because he was often called "Junior," but now he's going back to his given name as part of an effort to fix an image that's taken some hits over the years because of a poor driving record that resulted in the suspension.
Smith says he plans to phase in his new -- or given -- name over the next few weeks, although the Nuggets plan to keep calling him J.R. On Tuesday, Smith was expected to come off the bench against the Chicago Bulls in his first appearance after a tumultuous offseason.Last edited by av7; 11-11-2009, 05:13 AM.Aaron

Re: 11/9-11/15 NBA Discussion
That is because his offensive game is limited to mainly put backs or simple dunks and layups off dive cuts. I would say he is a 3 space rebounder and he is the only mean spirited big on the Mavs. Dampier also sets the tone for most games by dishing out bruising fouls.
Double doubles are a poor way of measuring physicality in the paint ex carraba.Last edited by AlexBrady; 11-11-2009, 09:46 AM.Comment

Re: 11/9-11/15 NBA Discussion
The guy got owned last year against the Nuggs. He looked scared. He's not really all that "physical". He played a centerless team in the Rockets where they start a 6-6 guy at center, and have a crappy back up.That is because his offensive game is limited to mainly put backs or simple dunks and layups off dive cuts.

He's one of the worst rebounding big men in the league. Has been for over 4 years.
Tell me how Dirk is going to average more rebounds than you?
You have the nerve to call Dirk "soft" when Damp is one of the softest guys in the league.
Once again, nice analysis.Comment

Re: 11/9-11/15 NBA Discussion
How does Dirk average 1 more rebound than Dampier? Because Nowitzki generally plays 12-15 more minutes per game than Dampier does and is usually stationed near the basket during those extra minutes. Not to mention Dampier is consistently in foul trouble and is a much better offensive rebounder than Nowitzki is (Dirk is virtually useless on the offensive glass).The guy got owned last year against the Nuggs.

Re: 11/9-11/15 NBA Discussion
So how exactly do you rate Damp's "physicality"?How does Dirk average 1 more rebound than Dampier? Because Nowitzki generally plays 12-15 more minutes per game than Dampier does and is usually stationed near the basket during those extra minutes. Not to mention Dampier is consistently in foul trouble and is a much better offensive rebounder than Nowitzki is (Dirk is virtually useless on the offensive glass).
Foul trouble is not why Damp has only averaged around 24 MPG over the past several years.
It's because he's an underachieving, soft, mentally fragile center who plays like he has no hands.Comment

CP3 vs Nash tonight. Gonna be fun to watch but PHX is on a roll right now. I think 10+ pt win is safe to say but hopefully NO can take em into OT so the Suns are fatigued when they play the Lakeshow tomorrow. LOLComment

Definetly not into the fact that Lakers have 3 days off in a row while the Suns are facing them on the end of a back to back.Comment
