Shawn Marion playoff predictor thread

[Kyle Orton]

+1

Whether he will turn out to be any good through his career is entirely up to him, but he has all the talent and gifts to be truly great. He has Tony Parker type quickness and finishing, Derrick Rose explosiveness and athletic ability, and damn near Steve Nash level jump-shooting ability. He might be as naturally gifted and talented as any PG/undersized SG in the league right now. It's all a matter of how hard he works and adjusts to the USA style of game.

He seems to definitely be more of a scorer than a guy who can run an offense, which is something he will definitely need to work on considering his size. He needs to develop a more physical aspect to his game too, because while he was a very good man defender, he would often get eaten up on picks and that would hurt him badly in his team defense. He tended to get a few too many fouls called on him, but I think as he plays more that will get reduced from his improvement, as well as the fact that refs tend to call fouls against rookies.

right. I'm only dead on perfect predicting each and every mavericks season (they call me in monostradamus for a reason) and how things will turn out.

You're all emo cuz they didn't get a guy who would have turned the Mavericks from "non-contenders" to "better non-contenders".

Didn't you predict the Mavs to be under .500 this season?

[Jodelo]

Everyone who picks Brewer´s Defense over Stevenson´s D is just re ed (just read that on Page 3...)!

I can only hope that Marion can contribute in the PO!

Holy , this would be a bnmf equivalent to gnsf bull

Marion has one effective post move, the little jump hook. He does not have "post game"

[Kyle Orton]

We'll see how effective his monkey man fade-away hook shot is in the playoffs.

[Kyle Orton]

It's up to Shawn how good he wants to be in the post, he has all the tools. He has the post moves of 1994 Olajuwon, the strength/finishing ability in the post of 2000 Shaq, with the low post IQ of 1986 Kevin McHale!

[stretch]

Bull ing you never expected that much, you said, in one post, Roddy has the jump shot of Steve Nash, the speed and finishing ability of Parker, and the athleticism of Derrick Rose.

Here comes classic stretch "I wasn't being serious when I made that really re ed homer comment".

stupidass , figures you would be a dumbass about it, when i clearly stated that this was based on skills, not how good he was. i also said he would need to adjust to the NBA game still and keep working hard if he ever wants to be remotely that effective. was it over the top? sure, ill be the first to admit it. but your obsession with me is becoming quite startling.

didnt you predict 35 wins this year ?

[rayjayjohnson]

Someone other than Kyle Orton should post in this thread imo

rofl pulling the obsession card when your posting in my thread

You criticized m>s for saying Roddy had 18 PPG potential, wouldn't someone with Steve Nash's jumpshot (which he doesn't have and never will have), Parker's speed/finishing ability, and Rose's athleticism (which when you factor in Rose's size Beaubois will never have), also have 18 PPG potential? Chances are that person would have closer to 28 PPG scoring potential.

This is also classic stretch. Say something really re ed, then in the same post add a qualifier like "he'll need to adjust to the NBA" that completely negates the previous re ed statement to avoid looking re ed. Someone with Nash's J, Parker's speed, and Rose's athleticism wouldn't need to adjust to anything.

Regardless of how reckless I'm going to act in the near future, I still have affection for you. Always know that, now time to sleep ♥

[Axe Murderer]

Damn what a great week this has been! Way better than last week that's for sure. And by my experience, when you have a great week, the weekend will be EPIC times a trillion! Hanging with my bro Taylor tomorrow then Christopher Lawrence at the lounge Sat!!

[Kyle Orton]

I have something that women would love to take away from me. There you go buddy, and I'm pretty sure you can't say the same. You're not so proud now, are you?

[jag]

Marion has a post game now?

It's better than i originally thought it was, mother er!!!!!!

[jag]

I'm sitting there trying to pass the time at work and i make a small little throwaway comment like this:

Marion's post game isn't as bad as you'd think, it looked pretty good against Houston and he usually spreads doo all over bonner's face whenever they play the Spurs.

...and then all the sudden i find myself arguing with mav fan that shawn marion isn't as bad as they think.

I ing hate shawn marion, probably more than they do (if that's possible)...so now i just feel dirty.

[Kyle Orton]

Tbh, that bootleg n!gger fadeaway hook shot will be exposed in the playoffs.


With that said, if I were a Spurs fan, I would love Marion in that weird way a guy would love a hooker if she let him for free.

[jag]

Shawn marion is a scrub and his annual disappearing act every postseason is one of the many reasons Phoenix never won anything. I laughed the day Dallas took on his abortion of a contract.

But now i feel compelled to root for his bootleg, broke down, fadeaway sky hook to go in.

[Kyle Orton]

In b4 Mavfan says something along the lines of "Phoenix relied on him too much! He didn't choke, and he won't choke on a team that doesn't rely on him!"

[jag]

Shawn Marion would be a legend in Arizona and would probably have restaurants named after him if he had managed to hit even 20% of the wide open, no-one-within-15-feet-of-him three pointers and jumpers he took during every playoff series.

[Kyle Orton]

Instead he was too stubborn and black to admit he shot jumpers like a 5 year old and needed to change his form. His fat crack mom who had him and his sister Shawnette at 14 didn't do him any favors either.
