Quick question, what is Anthony Davis' ceiling? Too high to tell?

To pray for him or to be their next saviour..?

 

[KalMart]

Or shoot a few fouls every game.

Tebow's mother: "'E's not the messiah! 'E's a very naughty boy!"

He's a better version of Marcus camby. He will make 3-5 all star appearances but he's not a franchise player

 

[Anubis]

I don't like to speculate on rookies. He'll either be good or he wont. One things for sure, he sure is ugly.

 

[TheWatcher]

DAT BROW.

I disagree on the Camby thing though. He already has a better offensive and defensive game than Camby did in his prime.

Darn it Anubis!! It's to early to make me laugh like that!


And I think Davis is going to be another Kenyon Martin without the toughness.

 

[TheWatcher]

Pfft, that's Thomas Robinson. Martin isn't as long,tall, or dominant on the defensive end.

 

[Docker2.0]

You didn't see Kenyon Martin play in college did you? He was a one man zone and almost carried them to a national championship on his defense alone.

 

[Poeman]

Quick question, what is Anthony Davis' ceiling? Too high to tell?

He is no Greg Oden, He is extremely lanky and tall and his offensive game is already in huge progress...Way ahead of Camby.

I think his low ceiling is Camby/Dalembert...His high ceiling is Dwight Howard/ Tyson Chandler combo

I did, but that doesn't change what I said.

Breaking News?

Knicks = Basketball

Tebow = Football

So this "talk" is irrelevant, thus making it a Fail.

No sir, you fail.

Whew! In the midst of Kobe's worse game of the season (and maybe his career, going scoreless through three quarters) the man STILL hit it in the clutch! I just said this a page or two ago, but the man has no fear at all. No conscious!

However this was a horrible game, as a unit and especially Kobe. I don't know if they were still sleep for this early start time or what, but they better get it together. And Brown needs to sit Kobe alot more, NOW, before the playoffs. His legs were gone today.

Yeah, Brown should really sit Kobe down otherwise he won't have any legs in the playoff, but imo the bigger problem is Bynum and his defiant attitute against Brown. If this continues, then Lakers will be in trouble because he's their #2 scorer and with a weak bench that the Lakers have, they can't afford not to have both Kobe and Bynum at the same time.

 

[L.A.]

Clippers are back winning 5 in a row. Two big games next against the mavericks and lakers

Yeah I just heard about his comment on not listening during huddles, when he's getting his "zen" on. Honestly I don't know what the kid's problem is, its like he's entitled and I have no idea why. As much as he's improved, the fact is he was almost nonexistent for both his rings. The Lakers have never won anything with him being a prime contributor yet, so he has work to do and things to prove. He needs to get to it...

This is one of the reasons why, even during the stretch of the season when Bynum was on a hot streak, I wasn't opposed to trading him to Orlando for Howard. To me, Bynum has never really matured even after spending 7 years in the league, and his recent erratic behaviors (which seemed to coincide with the departure of Derek Fisher) suggested that he isn't fit to lead the Lakers in the future, unless he can learn some responsibilities. I want Kobe and Gasol to talk some sense into him, but so far they either didn't tried or their words fell on deaf ears.

76ers need to win most of these last remaining games so can get a decent seed in the playoffs. Cause if we get 7th or 8th we mind aswell should not show up for the first round series.

 

[Poeman]

Pacers just won the championship tonight apparently

 

[Doc Samson]

Once again, for the third time in twelve days, Kobe late game heroics are necessary for a garbage team. The bench can't get any worse, and they squander healthy leads, which leads to more minutes for the starters and conversely, more fatigue. This is insane...

Yeah, although Lakers are still the 3rd seed, I'm not getting any good vibes from the team by the way they had to struggle AT HOME to defeat a subpar Nets team. As a 3rd seed (if they can keep from sliding lower because there's no way they can catch up to either Spurs or Thunder's record), they won't have homecourt advantage throughout playoff, and they will face teams alot more lethal than that crappy New Jersey team. Unless they figure out their problems soon, I can't see this team moving pass the second round, unfortunately.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

I cannot see this team getting pass the first round to be honest. As a 3rd seed they playing like a 7th and 8th one.
