Chaplin,

I said the Kwame probably improved because: a) he's had another year in PJ's triangle, which is said to be difficult to learn, b) he's a young player and young players usually improve from year to year and c) the Lakers fans who've watched him play have said he is improved.

(I thought I posted this reply a couple of days ago, but I must have clicked the wrong button...)

Point a is very valid, he has had another (half) year in PJ's triangle. But Kwame Brown has been a young player for quite some time, and while he has improved, it hasn't been by much. Just make sure your Laker fan friends don't mean that he's improved since he was in Washington, because they'll probably be right--instead of completely worthless, he's just slightly mediocre now. :D

even that's being generous.

Ever since he was drafted, people have been wondering why K Brown never seems to live up to the hype he had when drafted. What I see is a tall and athletic shot blocker, but not much more. The one thing people from DC used to say is that he has small hands and does not catch the ball very well. Getting older won't change that.

people keep believing in guy like Kwame because apparently, "you can't coach size." Maybe people should think about that comment a little more, because in Kwame's case and a lot of big stiffs' case, that's exactly on point. You CAN'T coach size.

But you can lie about it (his stock dropped a lot when it was found he was about 3 inches shorter than reported).

Seriously, there is no doubt that Brown is long and athletic. Most bigs are very slow. But if long and athletic was enough, Stephen Hunter would be an all star.

LOL??? Why? Good god you people have thin ass skin. Weak as hell.

And there was no election for Mod...it was for fun.

If you seriously put me on ignore you are the weakest little girl I've ever seen, especially since I've not even said one thing out of line to you.

Holy crap is that hilarious! Awesome. I guess you will want a suicide watch if the Lakers actually win this series then, since you can't handle a Laker fan who thinks they will probably lose.

:biglaugh:

I think your serious with all this talk. I hope not.

Yeah, I am serious. If dude put me on ignore, he's weak. Bottom line. I've done nothing but talk about how the Lakers would likely LOSE.

Who are you, anyway?

I'm sorry, but how long before you go back to using D-Dogg? No offense, but it's a lot better than Donald... :D



Oh, and Lakers suck.

No problem..but yes it seriously made me mad when the guy puts me on ignore in the midst of Lakers trolls talking about how we'd win the series. Sorry you caught a touch of that latent anger. :)

DAMN YOU!

Nah, not going back to D-Dogg. I'm retiring the name. I still go by it, but I know enough people on the board now I'm tired of saying "I'm Donald...uhm...D-Dogg?" I feel like an idiot. I am an idiot, but I sure don't like FEELING like one. :)

Hey, I hear the Cardinals are going to be good next year.

Which next year are you referring to. Because yeah, DEFINITELY that next year, whichever one it is. It's got to be one of them.
