Whoever gets Philly gets a big break.
There is something about NY, I just don't want to face. Much maligned, but far more capable of giving CHI or MIA a series.
Philly has been done for 2 months. They were on the upswing last year, the complete opposite of this year, and got blasted by Miami in round 1.

Point stands: he's a millionaire pro athlete. And UK students are "laughing at him." About what? He won America. They're people living in Kentucky.GOONx19;1145004 wrote:Daniel Orton has played in 10 games in two years and likely will not have a contract in the near future. He also dropped out of college and disconnected all ties he had to his coaches and teammates. The less than $2 million that he owns will not support his lifestyle.

I also don't think Orton will be out of the league if he continues to perform well. He's a big body and NBA loves size.

You're missing the point. I get your joke. "Haha, Kentucky is shitty redneck state." Compare him to the other Kentucky basketball players and he lost. Josh Harrellson is going to have a better career than Orton. It's sad. He made bad decisions and ruined some great opportunities.2kool4skool;1146661 wrote:Point stands: he's a millionaire pro athlete. And UK students are "laughing at him." About what? He won America.

Bron would really like to have a 3rd MVP.
Cool, he can have all he wants, not 5, not 6, not 7......

The Heat in its current form won't win a championship. The Heat aren't even the best team in their own conference much less the league. I wouldn't be surprised if Indiana knocks them off in the Conference semi's.

Wall's excuse for poor play...too many charity games.

Maybe, but they're not the ones "laughing." Apparently that's UK students.GOONx19;1146755 wrote:Compare him to the other Kentucky basketball players and he lost.
He is? Orton is 2 years younger, with a higher PER and more upside.Josh Harrellson is going to have a better career than Orton.
Whatever decisions he made led to him being a first round pick. He could have stuck around at some shitty school being paid nothing for another year or two, and maybe gotten more money down the road(or maybe less, or maybe none at all.) Or he could take the millions he was guaranteed then.It's sad. He made bad decisions and ruined some great opportunities.

Funny, I saw one of these charity games(not with wall) here on base over the summer. Guys like rose, mike miller, joe Johnson, tyreke Evans. They don't play hard, they basically play around. I'm guessing playing 20 of those games equals about 3 real games.

Orton wasn't good at UK either. I don't know why Orlando wasted a first round pick on him. Dude averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds.

I've said it in this very thread. Wall has coasted on talent for a long time. He's capable of being a top player in the league but he will continually be surpassed until he dials in some of the smaller things in his life and game.
Compare him to Brandon Knight, just as an example. Knight followed him at UK, had a better college career and thus far the NBA career is heading that way.

I know Wall gets by on talent and Knight is a much harder worker but....Aside from team success, theres no way shape or form that Knights had a better NBA career than Wall

Melo is continuing his hot streak, albeit vs the Nets. But before halftime hes got 21 points on 8-11 shooting. 4-4 from 3(hes never been able to shoot 3's for some reason).
Wonder if this all goes to hell when Amare comes back

He's stupid, but not THAT stupid. He knows his limitations... As Chicago said though, a #1 overall pick should be able to work on that. Rose has become a respectable 3 point shooter.wildcats20;1147391 wrote:BUT, he's only taken 40. So it's not like he's chucking them up.
