9.9.09 [NBA TALK]


i feel like talking basketball right now
bc im super amped for this upcoming season

today Iverson tweeted that he is gonna sign with the Memphis Grizzlies which is very good news
he brings veteran qualities to their very young squad
i expect him to kick knowledge to OJ Mayo so that he can develop even more into the star he already is
and i am currently anticipating my roommate David trying them out in 2k10 later on this fall

on to the real...

so after looking at the depth charts for the Grizzlies and trying to find a fit for Iverson,
i decided to compare my Blazers with other teams in the NorthWest Divison
and i am happy to say that we should have no problem winning 54 games this season again
i gas you not

here's my rankings of the players in our division in the order of best-worst

PG
Deron Williams
Chauncey Billups
Andre Miller
Russell Westbrook
Ramon Sessions

we have the third best point in the division but remember we still have a GREAT backup in Steve Blake (11points 5assists), something that no other team in this division has

SG
Brandon Roy
JR Smith
Rudy Fernandez
Ronnie Brewer
James Harden

there should be no argument here...B-Roy is the third best two-guard in the league and everyone knows it...so im not even gonna go any further

Rudy is def. a top 5 two in this division which once again proves the strength of our bench

SF
Carmelo Anthony
Kevin Durant
Travis Outlaw
Andrei Kirilenko
Nic Batum

Carmelo and Durant obviously run the three-slot in the NW Division
but Outlaw proves himself year in and year our averaging double figures in ppg
Batum is a defensive beast and an athletic freak that has just began to develop coming off his rookie season

PF
Al Jefferson
Lamarcus Aldridge
Carlos Boozer
Kenyon Martin
Jeff Green

Jefferson was injured for most of last year's season making Aldridge the best PF in the NW Division last season. Proving that he has deeper range than many defenders think.
Sill needs to improve his defense and rebounding a tad bit but he is still a very solid player.

C
Mehmet Okur
Nene Hilario
Greg Oden
Kevin Love
Joel Przybilla

Okur is easily the second-best big man shooter in the league, Nene's an absolute monster and Oden is still developing.
After averaging 9ppg 7rpg in 21 minutes of play
you've got to agree that he will produce if given the minutes to do so and working on staying out of foul trouble

Przybilla is a rebounding machine, second in the league in Rebounds-per-48 only to Dwight Howard, he may not do much but just keep in mind that he is 7'1 and plays that D

did i prove my point?

the Blazers are definately a force to be reckoned with...
run with us
