Sactown said:He definately is still having troubles in back to backs (which I think will improve), but otherwise it doesn't seem like he will get much more athleticism back. Webb looks lethargic because I don't think he wants to risk injury again during the regular season. He avoids jumping or running, but when he does either, you can tell that he does them both really well.
I think it's a sign as him maturing as a player. He knows the Kings will make the playoffs with a good seed, he wants to make sure he's at his best for the playoffs.
bionic77 said:I don't think that works man. Shaq tried that crap and he still hasn't recovered. If Webber is still worried about getting injured that is one thing and he can recover from that. It sometimems takes a long time to trust a broken part of your body again. Other then that, I don't know if he is going to show another gear. You never know though, but at his age I doubt it.
Sactown said:Being a 20/10/5 guy while being nowhere near your best is somewhere where 90% of the league would like to be. I definately don't think he'll stepp his game up another gear, but I do think his conditioning in the second game of back to backs will improve, and if you remove those this year, he would be something like 22/11/6. Defensively he is going to become a liability against the quicker PF's in the league, but he still has at least 3 years of being an upper echelon player (barring injury, which is a big thing to ask for).

bionic77 said:I didn't say he was done. I was just responding to what you said about him looking slow. I have only seen him play in two games and he just seemed inconsistent to me, sometimes quick and sometimes not.
RobotChant said:If I was in charge of Orlando, just as a precaution, I wouldn't allow Tracy McGrady to be anywhere near Hill. They haven't played against each other yet, have they?![]()

How about Tracy McGrady + Yao Ming equals ... nada?!
I can barely stand to watch this team play. They stand around like nervous teenage boys at a middle school dance just waiting to get shot down by the pretty girl. They're not stiff -- they're stuffed, like a family of duck-billed platypuses on display at the natural history museum. Tracy's clanging. Yao's under-used, just like last year. Yawn.
It says in the vid, his name's Henry Bekkering. This video has to be at least a year old, I saw it a long time ago. Kid has great athleticism and power to his dunks, but he's not very graceful in the air. His left-handed (almost) free-throw line dunk was the nicest imo in terms of looks.etiolate said:Who the fuck is that?

Lakers Trade Kareem Rush to Charlotte in Exchange for Two Future Picks
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Dec. 6 -- The Los Angeles Lakers have traded guard Kareem Rush to the Charlotte Bobcats for two future second round draft picks, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak.
Rush, in his third season out of the University of Missouri, was the 20th selection in the 2002 NBA Draft and acquired by the Lakers in a draft day trade with the Toronto Raptors. Last season, Rush averaged 6.4 points and 1.3 rebounds in 72 games including a career-high 30-point performance January 16 against the Sacramento Kings.
Cloudy said:Ok, I have to start rooting against the Bobcats now. Please tank :lol
How sweet must these numbers be: With a payroll that comes in about $5 million under Shaq's $27.7 million salary, Bobcats are on a 23-59 pace. Stunning.

Meier said:The Magic are gonna win the East this year. Mark it down fools!
Loki said:Wow, did anyone see the crazy lay-up by Carter tonight? Circus shot lol.
He also, however, blew a point-blank lay-up to tie it at the end. He got a bit too flat to the baseline.
That was obvious when the Lakers played the one-win Bulls in Chicago last week. L.A. kept that game close, down 86-84 with just under 2 minutes to go. It sure looked as if Bryant would take over, and in a way, he did. First, by committing a turnover after he lost control of the ball on an unnecessary between-the-legs dribble. Then by clanging two 3-point attempts. The Lakers lost.
Outside the United Center, Michael Jordan's statute shed a tear and allegedly whispered, "This is my heir apparent?"
