franklin too.
I agree! I like the one where I'm dressed like a dragon, and Big Al is my dragon tamer. Or the one where he's the sheriff in town and I'm the horsey, but he's actually bigger than the horsey. If you know what I mean...? What fantasies do you have with Big Al?

Dude, CJ and RonnieP are gonna be all-NBA players this year, and did you see the line Al put up tonight against an all-NBA defense? Zero turnovers!

Let's just say it involves him wearing a different jersey.

When have I ever said Kanter would be a scrub? I love the kid, all I've said is I don't think he'll produce until season 3.
Actually, Al always has a different jersey in mine. I wonder what Freud would say about that.
Oh, and I can't rep you, sorry. I'll catch you later.

I'm not in a bad mood. My thing is only that preseason doesn't mean much. People got excited about Hayward ripping in the team scrimmage and struggling tonight, I made a little comment. People go overboard about Kanter destroying preseason against Lee, Ezali, and Biedrins, I made a little comment. I could have gone the other way and defended Favors and Al, but why bother?
The bottom line is we won't have any problem with our bigs this season. We're deep. I'm concerned about our 1 through 3, but I'll wait until I see them to reserve judgment. Our small guys are the key to how we do.
Tomayto/Tomahto. He blew out your predictions on his ability for the season in the season opener last year. And you said nothing in your correction to dispel the notion that you're essentially rooting against him so that you look less like a fool.
BTW, your boy blew against the same defense.

The only one looking like a fool is you. I've never, not even one time, ever said I didn't think Kanter had a world of potential. All my posts have said the same thing -- kid's 19, he's ahead of the curve, no telling what the ceiling is.

If memory serves me right, you consistently undersold Kanter last year.
You've also consistently overhyped Al.
Now, Hayward is near his ceiling.
so it looks like i was one of the few who watched it on league pass. but from what i saw, kanter is moving extremely well. he got out to set quick high screens and freed up our guards well. jazz went to him down the stretch and he got to his moves quickly. he made passes out of the post when he recognized he didn't have anything. he was getting to the rim but missed some easy ones. but that will come imo. the last one he missed may have been goaltending as someone went through the net. another he missed after bumbling a less than perfect pass from tinsley. and he hit a long range shot that looked really good going down. not the quickest release, but i think it can be a weapon.
the biggest thing that stood out though with kanter this game was mobility and confidence. if his mental game catches up.... very excited about him. of course i have loved him since watching the Turkish national team last year, so im a homer.
i wont comment on the rest of the young guys because they didn't stand out. Favors had better moments in the second half. I just wish we had a pg who could unleash him on the PnR
