I've always said that Omer Asik was the one NBA player I'd count on in the clutch. Now? I'm not so sure.

Completely agree. I said on this thread before the playoffs that I liked NY's chances much better against Chicago than Miami. Knew they would get steamrolled by the Heat. Thought they could upset the Bulls.

Your only post on this thread tonight was to defend Kobe. LOL such a child for a 40+ year old man of faith

Boozer is someone I've always disliked not sad to see him 1-11 and 3 whole points

Love seein Duke players struggle in the NBA. For how great theyve been for so long in college bball, they really fail to pump out stars. The only player out of duke the last 20 years who had a chance to be a real special player was Jay Williams and he had that horrible injury. Other than that, they put out bad-decent players

Kyrie Irving.

Though I joke with my friend who's a Duke fan all the time and say Kyrie didn't play in Coach K's system long enough to fuck up his pro game.

But prior to injury issues he was a helluva player. I'd say special.

Grant Hill was one of THE top players for a few years before the unfortunate ankle issues.

Someone had to lose....Brand over Boozer...Deng

Look for McRoberts to carry the Lakers

Celtics and their team average 9 inch vertical is unbeatable
