Here's to a hopefully great late second half of the year and playoff stint with our San Antonio Spurs! Hopefully his play warrants a resigning in the summer. Only time will tell!

i'm not sure if i'm quite ready to commit appreciation to him, if we haven't seen him play, or better yet, whether or not he's gonna continue to be injury prone in a spurs' system.
gay threads such as this one are disgusting.

Props to Gooden on his good taste in clothing. thats about it

Did I mention how ing gay this thread is? It's not like we needed another Gooden thread in this forum after the billion other Gooden threads in the past week. Jesus Christ.
Is this where I go to appreciate Drew Gooden this afternoon? I don't want to confuse this afternoon's thread with this morning's thread or yesterday's thread, to say nothing of going with something so stale as last weekend's thread(s).
TIA!
