Top 5 picks in the 2008 NBA Draft?

[dodif]

kevin love -- super nice kid, great attitude, good hands for a big guy, hands remind me of anthony mason. klove would be a great tight end. anyhow, too much baby fat still, not strong enough in the post to handle the brutal nba paint. good inside moves and soft touch around the basket. defense at next level will be a concern, but at least he's strong in his trunk and legs so should be able to build his upper body in the next few yrs

he better stay and follow hansbrough's college stay cuz he cant play the 4 or 5 in the nba

[mofome]

dodif, after ucla shut down mayo 2 wks ago or whatever, i said the same thing abt mayo not being ready, and said it here in these forums. i was roasted for it. i think mayo is a super athletic guy, very strong for a guard, but he lacks the basketball sense and shot selection necessary rite now, i also think there are concerns abt his attitude at the next level. he reminds me of marbury, only a little taller and stronger.

i really dislike marbury, btw

Did Marbury knock down 40% from 3? He may have, but I'd be surprised. UCLA locked down Mayo and they'll lock down a lot of great players, but he's forced to put up numbers on a team that runs a pathetic offense and really has no depth. Hes the entire focus of every defense and he's shown great patience imo. I don't think he plays like Marbury much at all.

cuz i am not an idiot.

This would be a debatable notion. It would seem that while you may or may not "know hoops," you clearly don't know how to post on a board without being offensive to other participants and this may, in fact, place you in the catagory of idiot.
I shall, however, reserve judgement as I am unable to muster enough care to actually give a crap.

Cheers.

[mofome]

then why did u start a thread on it if u cant think about it right now

man ur dumb

I can think about it, i was replying to his thoughts with regard to the ncaa tourney, princess.

[hoopster42]

i dont like to compare klove to hansbrough, tho. very diffent players. tyler is a junior rite? much stronger i think in his upper body, but does not have the post moves or touch in the paint that klove has. tyler probably a better defender. klove def a better perimeter shooter, will cause matchup problems for nba forwards taking them to the perimeter. will need another big man tho to protect him on defense from fouling out in 12 mins of nba action

heres a start for u novices

the top 13 are fresh and soph's

Who the **** knows whats gonna happen outside beasley. It all depends on who stays.

[Panic]

What a coincidence. I used to say that to when I was 12.

[dodif]

i'll bet you $1000 mayo wont go in the top 5 and sbr john can hold the money.

or all u guys talk

[dodif]

i would talk like that to if i lived in DC. Its like night there 24 hours a day.

[dodif]

bottomline..........if we knew was going and staying this could be an educated argument. This topic is pure speculation except beasley.

and who on earth would want to speculate on a betting forum?

[hoopster42]

the best pro prospect in los angeles mite be russell westbrook of ucla, quick guard, great leaper, strong defender, only 6'3", but plays like he's 6'5 or 6'6"

[dodif]

and who on earth would want to speculate on a betting forum?

i'm about making money not speculating

i hit 12 to 1 on edwards yesterday in the nascar forum.

What did any so called gamblers do here yesterday. Did any of them hit 12 to 1.

u speculate honey. I'm off to the Bellagio to make my money.

how about we bet that he goes before 13th.

[dodif]

now ur using my knowledge for ur purposes proving I am the professor on the topic. Go watch sportscenter so you can find out who you are betting today.

[dodif]

gotta run to the casino to play some cards. take care everyone

[hoopster42]

i'll predict that mayo goes rite around 9, give or take 2 spots either way. so, as high as 7, and as low as 11. thats my feeling

[mofome]

ive mentioned many times, i don't like sc. don't kid yourself, you don't actually know anything about me. you're knowledge? i believe you said he would go 13th? you made some reference about mayop and the 13th pick, i was simply stating that there is no chance he'll be there at 13.

Merriam-Websters:
Speculate: verb; to assume a risk in hope of gain

Whether or not you are good or bad at gambling, the very nature of it is speculative because it's not a guarentee. This is a simple and basic concept.

And, please, do not further your current jackass status by calling me "honey."

He wouldn't talk to muh lady that way if we were all in Vegas.

Seriously, sweetie, I can smell jackass a mile away - he'd never get close enough to me to actually be heard if he talked.

dodif is a passionate guy who knows his stuff, flare ups happen on these boards, all part of the experience, mofo and i had a mini flare up after vandy beat his beloved vols, but neither one of us gives a crap and we move on. we dont take it personally. its funny, when my buddies get together for poker, we always have flare ups, then the game is over and we are clinking our drinks saying cheers, laughing abt it, whereas my wife and her friends play poker, they are mad at each other for weeks because someone talked shit, women are too funny

dod isn't a hard one to recognize. If facts don't support his case he'll simply say 'ur' and, therefore, render mortals useless against his e-tactics.

Hey, and I wonder why he never called you "honey" ?

Yes, that was a good time, i enjoyed it. Ive got respect for your knowledge and posts and you are aware of that. Its fun to see some people with some passion, but not if its nonsensical. Dod calls a question stupid for absolutely no good reason. Its not as if i asked him whether he'd prefer to be raped by a friendly midget or a small dog, i asked a question about the NBA draft.

[hoopster42]

mofo, i hope the vols turn it back on next week and win the sec, they are in cruise control becoz they know they are so much better than the rest of their conference, i think they need to get the 1 or 2 seed to keep confidence, whaddya think

[mofome]

I wouldn't want to be on SGs bad side.

The momentum in Knoxville is picking up. On the basketball front they just picked up a huge recruit for the 09 season, they're about to close on the best player remaining in the 08 class, and they're still in the top 4 despite the tough loss at Vandy. If TN is going to make it to the final 4 they'll need to be able to score in their half court offense. To do that they'll need ramar smith to step his game up greatly.

Thanks, Hoopster, but, and this is a strickly objective opinion, I'd say The Mo is definately better looking

sounds like things are on the up and up, i agree their halfcourt offense needs to be sound, force the other team into a lot of fouls so they can exploit those matchups, dont depend on transition and threes because things slow down in the tourney, and play some damn defense baby! gimme a bracket right now! i'm pumped!

then he must look pretty damn good!
