Kevin Seraphin keeps on impressing and improving, I would be happy drafting Beal or MKG and starting Seraphin beside Nene next year with Booker off the bench.

I was really impressed with Seraphin tonight. He was beastly on the boards, and showed great touch around the basket. 21 and 13 on 10/19 shooting, plus 5 blocks. Has he been playing this well most of the season, or just improving and recently playing well?

SeanTaylorRIP · 04-16-2012, 09:47 PM

Ever since he started getting playing time right before we traded Javale he's been playing like this, obviously not producing every night like this but this is 11 straight games in double figures scoring, I just like his game period. He's an old school banger with soft touch around the rim and surprising athleticism. I saw him throw down a 360 in pre game warm ups and it shocked me. I really noticed him last year when he was setting vicious screens. He still though has a raw although improving jump shot and is a little short. We aren't talking a star here but I definitely see a very good professional. He's only 22 years old he should only continue to improve, also it's really impressive how he's starting to shape up, cutting some fat and developing a very strong and solid build. We just need to find a way to get rid of Blatche so his fat doesn't spread to Seraphin.

I absolutely loathe hearing local announcing tandems. Their homerism is so god damn ridiculous it makes watching the game unbearable. Every single local team is like that.

could be worse, could have Ian Eagle and Mike Fratello have the most awkward 30 seconds in NBA broadcasting history where Ian Eagle gets all pissy and cries because the czar was "patronizing" him. cringe worthy

Knicks have Breen at least.

MetSox17 · 04-16-2012, 10:05 PM

Or you could have C-Webb pwning David Kahn on air and the dumbass not even realizing it.

It's actually hilarious because every time something happens in the Mavs favor, I look forward to his stupid commentary, haha.

Bleh, it pisses me off because every Kings away game i watch, they're just killing them with stupid baseless information they probably read in their notes 10 minutes before the game. They don't bother to learn anything about the league other than their own team's doings.

Didn't you guys want those extra ping pong balls? WTF

Stern already promised the #1 pick to New Orleans, he had to sell the team some how

So does that mean when Charlotte lands either #3 or #4 pick, Jordan takes Harrison Barnes, Charlotte goes 10-72 next year, Jordan quits, and the Bobcraps are post marked for Seattle?

All part of Stern's make up plans for NO/SEA right?

we are locked into the 2nd worst spot, anyways I think anywhere from 2-5 is fine for the Wizards. Beal, Robinson, MKG, and Lamb are all players I'd love to have and even if I would hate the pick i wouldn't flame if we got Drummond or Barnes. As long as we don't end up with Rivers or Zeller I'm happy. I feel Jersey or Cavs get first pick.

Does Stern like Gilbert that much to have him get back to back #1 overall picks?

**** that!

devinhester=R.O.Y 2006 · 04-16-2012, 11:22 PM

I think New Jersey gets ****** this off season.

They aren't getting #1 pick, they aren't getting Dwight, and they are losing Deron.

Brookyln market doesn't pay off, as they are still a distant second to the vastly improved Phil Jackson led Knicks.

Prokhorov is going to go all Chernobyl on Stern!

The Thunders' kryptonite.

Lakers vs Clippers in the WCF book it.

MetSox17 · 04-17-2012, 04:36 PM

Stern is giving Anthony Davis to either the Hornets or the Nets. And he'll continue to **** Sacramento in the process.

that's fine by me. i'd be okay with a top three pick, tbh, but we've been building up some good karma with the lottery these past years, i'm reaaally hoping this is the one time we get lucky and win it.

just imagine trying to rebound against Cousins/Unibrow. UNPOSSIBLE.

TheBoyWonder22 · 04-17-2012, 04:51 PM

So you're saying none of Charlotte, New Orleans or Washington get a top 3?! Dream on fellas.

MetSox17 · 04-17-2012, 04:55 PM

Bobcats, Hornets and Wizards can eat a bag of dicks for all i care, i just know we need a god damn top three pick.

tjsunstein · 04-17-2012, 05:22 PM

Nick Young played awesome last night. I know hes a mame that most of you are familiar with, can someone give me the pros and cons to having him as well as his ceiling if he hasnt hit it already?

MetSox17 · 04-17-2012, 05:23 PM

You're best off asking a Wizards fan, but he's a knucklehead chucker, for the most part.

I do like bragging about my calling of the Bobcats being the worst team in NBA history. Also, teams need to stop with this D Leaguers starting crap.
