Shawn Marion playoff predictor thread

[Axe Murderer]

Phoenix relied on him too much. He didn't choke, and he won't choke on a team that doesn't rely on him.

[QUOTE=Kyle Orton;5139642]rofl pulling the obsession card when your posting in my thread[/thread]

yeah, and my post in no way shape or form had anything to do with that your initial post was about, nor was in response to you. great in logic

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.

i didnt criticize him for talking about roddys potential. i fully see that potential. although a number of times he never said anything about potential, he would say something to the effect of "dat roddy b gon be an 18ppg player in a few weeks tbh". it seemed like thats what a number of his posts were saying, that he expected that immediately, not in the future, but perhaps i misread some of them, who knows, and i really dont care at this point.

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.

classic dok, take one small portion of a post, run off and talk all kinds of about it, not taking the entire thing into context, and thinking "i owned your ass now let me suck my more in the next 30 posts about how i owned you even though im a giant ing dumb "

comparisons are different than actual playing ability. simialar to how people said eddy curry was similar to shaq, or kwame brown was like KG. or some people here saying when we played bball with BUMP and DPG, that BUMP was like Blake Griffin (on ed up 9 foot goals, rofl great times), or DPG was like a Steve Nash, or whomever they were comparing him to. drawing similarities, and being that good are two completely different things. or course I fully expect this to go over your head and you to respond with a post like " great ing emo post stretch = dumbass thinking roddy b = jordan x 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000"

you said Roddy B was the most physically gifted PG/undersized SG in the NBA, are you seriously trying to deny that was all kinds of re ed?

comparisons are different than actual playing ability.

You said he had the explosiveness of Derrick Rose. That has nothing to do with playing ability, it's a natural physical gift you either have/don't have.

simialar to how people said eddy curry was similar to shaq, or kwame brown was like KG.

Yeah, all of which ended up being really re ed comparisons.

or some people here saying when we played bball with BUMP and DPG, that BUMP was like Blake Griffin (on ed up 9 foot goals, rofl great times), or DPG was like a Steve Nash, or whomever they were comparing him to.

and there it is. Stretch implying his re ed comparisons were as serious as comparisons that were obviously a joke. If Beaubois is as close to being Parker/Nash/Rose as BUMP is to being Blake Griffin, than I rest my case.

Phoenix relied on him too much. He didn't choke, and he won't choke on a team that doesn't rely on him.

[Kyle Orton]

He has Tony Parker type quickness and finishing, Derrick Rose explosiveness and athletic ability, and damn near Steve Nash level jump-shooting ability.

This wasn't a comparison. You specifically said "he has" all the above. You didn't say he plays similarly to Rose/Parker/Nash.

[monosylab1k]

lol 6 points 5 boards 2-6 shooting

lol gerald wallace 4-13 shooting, 5 rebounds, 3 turnovers

"he's going to curbstomp the mavs! he's the missing piece to make the Mavs the favorite to win it all!"

[Ghazi]

Marion was ok this game

[monosylab1k]

anyway wallace had an off game, don't expect that luxury every time

you sound like you're rooting for him to curbstomp dallas. good thing you're so ty at player analysis and predictions. leave that stuff to me.

[monosylab1k]

Marion was ok this game

offensively he didn't have it but he played terrific defense.

[monosylab1k]

yeah because baron davis, chris kaman, corey magette, and anthony randolph are all doing so great right now

lol baron davis had his best season since leaving GS, anthony randolph was killing s after he got traded away from that dip D'Antoni, kaman was hurt all year but played solidly and last year was an 18/9 center you ing re , and maggette with all his flaws is still a tough scorer who gets to the FT line.

it's amazing how asshurt you and understudy get when you can't explain the genius (and 100% legit) way that I could have maneuvered Dallas into a 70 win 3 peating dynasty.

[Ghazi]

howeva

Chandler > Kaman

[TE]

duncan

no

[monosylab1k]

howeva

Chandler > Kaman

tbh I had him on the squad too this season

I sure has damn did! All I did was accept trades that were offered and Mark was stupid enough to turn down.

Mark rejected the following:

-Kobe for Dirk
-Davis/Kaman for Kidd
-Wallace for Howard

I would have done all three. I also would have kept Bass since we obviously would need a PF. Throw in a couple decent deals that Cuban has made (Marion and Chandler) and Roddy, and the team would look like this -

Baron Davis
Kobe Bryant
Gerald Wallace
Brandon Bass
Tyson Chandler

bench:

Shawn Marion
Chris Kaman
Roddy
Terry

That team is a 70 win team imho fwiw.

that doesn't even have maggette on the bench as well. GOT DAMN i am ing good.

[Ghazi]

just wanna say we got outscored 48-18 in the paint this game... bad omen!!

[monosylab1k]

gerald wallace must have had a great game! oh wait

[monosylab1k]

that bull ass team = 45 wins

ok

[Ghazi]

mav fan on mav fan violence?.. tsk tsk

[monosylab1k]

all you can do in the face of all you and your brother's re ed statements is say "but but gerald wallace had an off night "

all you can do in the face of all you and my understudy's re ed statements is say "but but shawn marion had an off night "

[monosylab1k]

mav fan on mav fan violence?.. tsk tsk

that fake ass ain't no real mavs fan. he's rooting for a guy on Portland to play well. he's also happy when one of our guys doesn't.

[monosylab1k]

every time shawn ing marion suits up is an "off night" especially when it comes to doing his best hakeem imitation as stretch says

and you got all emo when I put words in your mouth

[frodo]

that fake ass ain't no real mavs fan. he's rooting for a guy on Portland to play well. he's also happy when one of our guys doesn't.

everyone needs to make a performance if the mavs want to survive it imho. blazers ain't easy to beat they ain't the naive crew any more. they have so many talented s they can always find the right guys to score. the blazers only need a doggy defender (like ryan bowen)to take care of dirk and mavs O go stale. outside of dirk none of ur other nigs be trustworthy in the playoffs imho

[Kyle Orton]

all you can do in the face of all you and my understudy's re ed statements is say "but but shawn marion had an off night "

lol pretending your brother hasn't made more re ed statements than anyone else.
lol Marion has a good post game
lol Beaubois is Rose/Parker/Nash combined!

2/6, 50 million dollar ecstasy

[Axe Murderer]

tbh Gerald Wallace just looked a little nervous at first

I don't expect him to play that poorly all series

[Kyle Orton]

Meanwhile lil Shawn looked nervous the entire game
