wow ... you're really ing dense ... shoot yourself
How is that even responsive to what I said?
C'mon Bueller ... surely you can do better than the not-at-all-cliche "baby sounds/whining" routine.
I don't think I've really whined ... other than saying that RM is overpaid ... you think he was a bargain ?

If every team has their defensive personnel and coaching, I will my pants just like you already have.
Udoka was shooting the ball well? When? He's the epitome of streaky.
Udoka was hot or cold and no matter how many games you gave him to start, he wouldn't put up 17.1 in the NBA.
That, and he didn't have that weird ass blind loyalty Pop had for Finley last year.

Pradamaster: Clearly, Roger Mason was the biggest surprise of the 2007/2008 Wizards season. With Gilbert Arenas sidelined for most of the year, Mason, who nearly didn't even make the roster, took advantage of his opportunity and emerged as one of the better third guards in basketball. He gave the team the deadly three-point shooter that Jarvis Hayes was supposed to be and even impressed me with his ball-handling. The biggest worry with Mason was that he would struggle handling the ball, but while he didn't pass well, he was excellent at holding onto the basketball, turning in over on just 9.9 percent of his possessions, a mark good for second on the team behind Antawn Jamison and ahead of Antonio Daniels. In short, Mason was a godsend this year.
It's often said that it takes a while to learn the Princeton offense, and Mason is proof of that. The jump in his shooting percentages was astronomical. In 2006/07, he hit only 33 percent of his threes, with a 42.2% effective field goal percentage and a 44.3% true shooting percentage. Those numbers jumped to 40 percent, 55.2% and 57.3%, respectively this season. My theory is that he was overanxious with his three-point attempts in 06/07, firing whenever he had any sort of daylight, no matter the situation. He still shot a lot of threes this year in bad spots (6.9/36), but he displayed an ability to drive and was far smarter in his attempts. More importantly, instead of just hanging out in the corner waiting for someone to pass the ball, he finally embraced the importance of constantly moving in the Princeton. The end result was a banner year shooting the ball.
Mason didn't really contribute much in the other areas of the game, but really, who expected him to do so? His job was to hit open shots and provide instant offense from the bench, and he did an outstanding job filling that role. If one has quibbles with his season, as I did on many occassions, it's over things that will never really be fixed. Mason is going to shoot some bad shots, and he's never going to be a great passer or a great driver. It would be nice if he developed those parts of his game, but I don't see it happening at this stage.
Truthabou : Roger Mason Junior.....DC's own ....the Potomac Rainmaker. Mason Junior was the recipient of this year's Pleasant Surprise Award. Ok, I made that up.....but the fact is that Roger Mason had a career year, averaging 9.1 ppg and almost 40% (39.8) from 3-point land. Oh yea, his PER and Usage-Rate bested that of both DeShawn Stevenson and Antonio Daniels. Mase-ON was truly an invaluable offensive spark off the bench as the Wizards dealt with an array of injuries in 07-08. Not only that, but in the nine games he was asked to start (five of which came in late December), Mason averaged 17.4 ppg, 3.4 ast, 52.6% fg, and 43.1% 3p.
Spurs fans breaking down and fighting over this guy is crazy.
Or I can just laugh at your lame ass.
When's light's out, junior?
I have actually ... you want to smell them?
And how did you know I shat them? are you watching me? you really are a naughty little DUMPER aren't you
It's a response to your meltdown.
But you're a whining baby. It fits.C'mon Bueller ... surely you can do better than the not-at-all-cliche "baby sounds/whining" routine.
Well you're a ing idiot because I said the exact same thing.I don't think I've really whined ... other than saying that RM is overpaid .
Now please go right off, baby.
I assume Mason will be our starting SG now?
No argument about this guy, it's about Haywood's ability to draw double teams like Tim Duncan
Spurs fans breaking down and fighting over this guy is crazy.
It's a bargain compared to $30 mil for Pietrus.
All the more reason to call you a baby.
Maybe not. Stay tuned.
how are stats a meltdown? I just want to know why you think that having Tim will necessarily increase Mason's 3P shooting percentage when that certainly wasn't the case with Brent or Mike.
I can be civil, if you want to respond to me civilly .. and will kindly off if I'm wrong.
I'm waiting ....
You obviously write your own material, because you can not come up with anything different.
Who cares if they are on the decline, so are Bowens... I trust him and he can still shoot...just because someone is going up and someone is going down does not mean the up is that much better, especially when you look at the numbers they are close. Mason is 28, people do not get so much better as they approach 30, they have come close to maxing out, then they maintain then they decline, it is like the product life cycle...
I did not deem anyone re ed, I made a joke (I you re ed) in response to a comment. You guys were seriously trying to come at me, huge difference in the context in which I said it, does not make it right, and I admit thatAs opposed to those whom you deemed re ed because you have a Master's and League Pass, and that clearly makes you intellectually superior to them.
It's all about context
Unless we sign another swing, then I would say so.
Your meltdown was a meltdown.
I just want to know why you think that having Tim will necessarily increase Mason's 3P shooting percentage when that certainly wasn't the case with Brent or Mike.[/quote]It sure could. Barry and Fin were head cases their first seasons because of expectations. Since none of us know enough about this guy to have any expectations, who knows? Certainly not you.
Oh you. You can't go back now after talking about ting your own pants.I can be civil, if you want to respond to me civilly .. and will kindly off if I'm wrong.
Are you saying you expect Mason to put up 17ppg?
Does this mean no Smith??
There never was any Smith.
I'd rather have a guy that will possibly improve for 2-3 years (hey, that happens to coincide with his Spurs contract...) than someone in Finley who has obviously declined and we all saw (those of us who watched, anyway) him turn into a ing gaping hole defensively the last 3 months of the season.
You act like we're locked into Roger until he's 38 or something stupid like that.
Finley is done, I'm sorry you're either too dense, too stupid, or just really ing annoying and keeping this argument going because you're a twit, to understand.
You seem enamored with what Finley did back in the day. Like I said, fine. Bring Finley back. Bring Jaren Jackson, Will Perdue, AJ, Mario Elie, and Sean Elliott back too. This team would clearly repeat if we just did all that and hung on to memories of years past.
