Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

Melvin Hunt might keep this job

― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, March 11, 2015 11:58 PM (Yesterday)

hard to tell if it's anything specific he's bringing or if it's just addition by subtraction, but i like it

le goon...peak/mvp-winning duncan was a pf bc d-rob was C. after robinson retires, duncan is a C. so i agree with you.

btw in my mind, i only rank kareem, wilt, billy russ, and olajuwon ahead of duncan in all time centers.

How is duncan more centery than mchale

duncan is generally the biggest guy on his team plays closest to the basket and guards the other teams center, mchale was not

I thought they should have just promoted Hunt when they fired Karl, he did a great job

Rasho was the center after D Rob.

wau spurs fan putting hakeem ahead of duncan, you must just be being modest

Duncan was not bigger than d rob, Rasho, about the same size as Tiago.

rasho is not a real person, shut up with that argument

yeah i mean calling him a pf an obvs artifact of coming into the league on a team that already had a center but his natural position is clearly center

look, he's listed as a pf/c, so he's both

rasho is not a real person, shut up with that argument

One of the most underrated players of all time

timmys a center and i demand he be removed from the all time pf convo

get outta here, as soon as the spurs traded malik rose for nazr mohammed, his ass rode the pine and then he flamed out of the league

xp

joey dorsey really does look exactly like dwight tho this is cracking me up

blazers fans so hostile to the rockets love it

rivalries r good

rockets r a great team to h8 too

underrated rivalry, really no reason to hate each other except for hoops, feels more pure this way

Who was the guy on the celtics who played closet to th

get outta here, as soon as the spurs traded malik rose for nazr mohammed, his ass rode the pine and then he flamed out of the league

Wrong, he was an elite defender for a spurs team that won a title. No one seemed to care or notice that he was blocking all those shots but it won games.

any fanbase hostile to the rockets is a fine and noble fanbase imo

WHY ARE YOU HERE MATT ARMSTRONG THIS IS A TERRIBLE ASS ARGUMENT

yeah rockets are a fantastic collection of heels

things hearing up itt

*heating, jesus phone keyboard c'mon now

big homie rasho lost his starting job to an isaiah thomas traded journeyman. that team had GOAT manu, peak duncan, over-the-yips parker, bob horry, and you wanna talk to me about rasho's ok defense i just wanna buy you a drink of something you wont like but will be too polite to say anything about thats how mad i am at you

things don't really get honestly heated on ilh until granny dainger shows up in one of his moods

WHY ARE YOU HERE MATT ARMSTRONG THIS IS A TERRIBLE ASS ARGUMENT

Why do you hate the guy who was the starting center for some of your franchise's best teams? He was good.

i bet you got a spreadsheet ready right now you better because this some revisionist history wellactuallyism bullshit

ha i recently discovered he does this to other parts of ilx too

things don't really get honestly heated on ilh until granny dainger shows up in one of his moods
--Clay

good point, I remember the first time I saw that happen as a complete ilh/ilx newcomer and was like "....k then?"

Anyway, Rasho was the starting center on the spurs for 3 years, he didn't guard 4s, he was as big or bigger than Duncan, still waiting to hear about mchale's superior power forwardness

meanwhile, this game is pretty great

nothing will ever top deej posting as a highly defensive bulls fan during one of the early playoff runs with d-rose, that was wonderful

the ONE champ squad he was on, he avg'd less than 10 minutes a game. he scored a total of 10 points in 15 games. ARMSTRONG. SWEATER GOD. are we on the same planet? what color did you see on that dress, come on

lol i would gladly skim through gd going nuclear on some foreign policy thread or like about The Wire or something

i bet you got a spreadsheet ready right now you better because this some revisionist history wellactuallyism bullshit

Stats say he played good defense and so did the eyeball test if you weren't biased by his gentle disposition and innocently receding hairline

yeah btw this is not real beef altho armstrong is deeply deeply wrong about rasho

uh meyers leonard btw i still do not believe this dude and his threes

lmao he had no idea the nest of devoted rose haters he was walking into

Oh he was only on one title team wow

one of the biggest things for me about the eye test is minutes played because my eye test was saying "wow rasho is doing a lot of sitting the hell down in these playoffs in this the 2005th year of our lord hmm"

meyers leonard has somehow turned into the 7'1'' kyle korver, i don't know how he did it but i like it

lol xp

that deej playoff run was so incredibly classic

almost like the team he was on had someone better who payed the same position

Nazr Mohammed: another very large human that plays close to the basket, which is weird if duncan is always the closest and biggest on court

meyers has been shooting threes all year! it's just when he makes two in a row you're like wow hm what spell has been cast on this man

look im funning you 'strong, he got a lot of blocks, he just didnt do much in the playoffs, thats where his rep was sealed for me

meyers leonard my lord someone pay this beautiful cornhusker

I'll never forget Nazr Mohammed: spurs power forward

Yes, Nazr was good that year

wow meyers is shooting 45% on 1.9 3pa/game give this man his money

Btw i was a twolves fan when Rasho was there and also had a seething anger for his ways but I have grown as a person and learned to see that I was blind
