Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

I'm not really trying to defend him, I just don't think it's as bad as it's made out to be.. He could have done a lot worse to get some of the labels he's gotten.

Hes not a great GM man labels or not lol.

Theyve been needing a 3 for years now at this point and still never addressed it.

You can't tap dance around that by signing turkoglu again

Here is the article that makes that claim.

Honestly, not surprised whatsoever.

Wait, you guys thought Rondo actually had a back injury? LOL

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

No not at all, but to have it confirmed is another thing.

Did you even watch him play at all this season or are you just talking bull**** for the sake of it?

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

Unfortunately for you, I watched the team play(they got Dirk, why wouldn't I watch them?)and more times than not, he was either on the bench or his impact was very minimal. And based on how he played and how is numbers were(combined with the eye test), he's certainly not someone I'd be lose sleep over if he left.

That's just me, but you know what they say, "One man's trash is another team's non trash".

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

While he's not a guy I'm losing sleep over, I wouldn't mind him coming off the bench. I mean jesus, we've had to watch the Clippers bench for 5 games now, so you can definitely do worse lol

I think where he most improved was on the defensive end. He was a nice piece to have coming in with that second unit who could defend on the perimeter. Something Dallas really lacked this year.

He had his moments on offense but nothing that I'd be particularly upset about losing. He's a prototypical slashing forward/guard. Not very consistent from mid range and outward, but can work off the ball and get to the rim.

I think he's being sarcastic because in the past New Orleans fans trashed Aminu for not having a jumper or a true position. Carlisle was able to get the most out of him despite his clear deficiencies. He has become a solid, athletic combo forward that any team (mine included) could use now. Kind of like James Johnson in Toronto/Memphis. Or not, LMAO.

Missed the game last night, but so proud of my team and the way they gutted out the W. Timmy Duncan still amazes me after all these years, man. Never seen a better basketball player (not named Michael Jordan) in my life. Shocked that he can still do it at such a high level with all the mileage on his speedometer at 39 years old and with (apparently) one good leg. He is just incredible, IMO, and a complete blessing to watch and cheer on.

Pretty much this, in a non ***hole way of explaining it for me.

Watching the hack-a-Jordan put me to sleep last....smh.

You missed on a good game.

Re: Western Conference Playoffs - 1st Round Discussion Thread

The reason I want to keep Aminu around is because he's a useful player that can play multiple positions, he's a ball of energy for us most of the time when he comes in and the team just seems to play better when he's out there. And most importantly he's not above the age of ****ing 30.

The last thing I want is the Mavs to reload with a bunch of cast off veterans for the fifth year in a row. Dirk needs to stop being the focal point of what we're trying to build around, I love the man, but his career is on a sharp decline and he's a massive liability on defense.
