Is that an autobiography Doolz? If not, who's the author?

(I'm assuming it's the NBA coach your talking about.)

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

i suppose you could say its an autobiography, he pretty much talks about his life and basketball how how his beliefs affect his approach to both.

and yes lebo, the tri angle gets a mention, and melo is overrated

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

doolz, haven't you read my new statement? i am not in denial. he needs to concentrate on his ball not just the crap that comes with it.

lebron james looks like an ape

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

also help if he focuses on D once in a while. instead of relying on camby and that toll martin to cover him when he gets burnt

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

i think thats why they brought bucknor in. i think you are being tough on kmart. he brings some hard nasty imtimidation we didn't have.'melo does struggle on d. he's never seen a shot he doesn't like either. i hope he doesn't turn into the next antoine walker. god i hate him

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

cannot stand kmart. im sorry, but IMO he thinks he is ten times better than he actually is. i think he's as dirt and chep as karl malone. he probs think he's a throwback to the bad boys era or maybe the mid 90's knicks, but they'd all eat him up back then.

yeah DW has shaq, but he didnt last year and was the most underrated rookie. i think he would be a gun without shaq in the middle.

and as for melo's lack of D, maybe the nuggs whould try and sign jimmy jax, i still can;t belive my rockets traded him for charlie ward on steroids, and i dont expect him to report to the hornets anytime soon. he'll be a good foil for melo, on O and D

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

kmart is never gonna be a 25 and 12 player. 16 and 10 and some nastyness is what i would like out of him.. we did pay him the big bucks though. we needed hassell last off season and landed bucknor instead. and we need vo lenard fit.

on jj. i wouldn't report to new orleans either.lol
would you

did you see tmac drop 44 on my nugs today?

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

tmac makes the game look easy, a freak.

if i was GM of the rox, i wouldve gotten rid of juwan howard, charlie ward and my fav jeff van gundy.

reasons
howard - we need some athleticism at PF
ward - coz he's crap, shouldda stuck with NFL
van the man - he is an overrated coach who cant coach to players strength, only to his own.

I don't know why, exactly. My mind just wandered. Probably the smell of jasmine coming in the window.

Who is Jasmine and why does she smell???

Re: What Is Everyone Reading At the Moment?

I'm reading a book about D-Day June 6 1944. It's not a novel as such but a 1st hand account from soldiers who were involved in the battle on both sides of the fence. Really interesting reading.
