Report: Cavs sign Damon Jones

[CaptainLate]

So how will their starting lineup look?

Z/Marshall/James/Hughes/Jones?

Not bad. If Mike molds them into at least a good defensive team, watch out.

But their bench sucks. Of course, everyone's bench sucks compared to ours.

[SoupIsGood]

I don't know what games you are watching. But Tinsley sucks ass against Detroit.

Even during the regular season, not just those playoff stats.

I never said he did particularly well, or bad, but he can get in the lane on Billups. His penetration and Foster were the main reasons we won those two games this year.

[Kori Ellis]

but I am fairly sure that Tinsley's first game back was against Detroit.

Tinsley in the first round ...

First Round 
  3 3 26.7 8-25  .320 0-8  .000 2-2  1.000 .3 2.7 3.0 5.0 2.33 .33 3.00 3.70 6.0

Incorrect.

Johnson had been healthy since December.

Tinsley played the last three games of the Boston series.

Do you watch basketball.

Question.

I'm actually wondering if you watch basketball, seeing as you rely so heavily on these stats...

[jermaine7fan]

But their bench sucks. Of course, everyone's bench sucks compared to ours.

Actually their bench isn't too shabby once Varejao gets back from injury...
C- Varejao
PF- Gooden
SF- Pavlovic
SG- Luke Jackson - one of the top 15 draft picks... if I'm not mistaken... injured for most of last year... but should be pretty good
PG- Eric Snow

[timvp]

Can you post what Billups did on Tinsley and the Pacers?

Billups averages 18.7 points and 7.2 assists on his azz.

Tinsley in the first round ...

Thank you... bad memory for a 23 year old

And don't forget, they are reportedly signing Jahidi White. He should be a big factor

[timvp]

our PGs fair very well against them

I never said he did particularly well, or bad

Come with a united front and then we can figure out who watches basketball.

[jermaine7fan]

I thought those were his reg. season stats... sorry... I said Tinsley could not guard him... but he can penetrate on him...

[jermaine7fan]

And don't forget, they are reportedly signing Jahidi White. He should be a big factor

lol

So are y'all saying we'll be seeing the Cavs in the Finals? I'll take that matchup anytime. Can you say '99 Spurs-Knicks?

[FINLEY POWER]

This is great, What are my Heat fans saying on their board? They banned me, I wonder why...

[jermaine7fan]

I know I watch b ball and I'm sure you do too. We need not unite... this is not a fight.

I think Detroit and Indiana prolly still have them... bye, bye Miami though.

So it's my fault you can't tell who said what??

I'll declare a peace accord between Spurs fans and Pacers fans.

I expect you guys to face the Pistons in the ECF.

Good luck.

will this accord be put up to a vote, or does it just need the agreement of your co-monarch?

[jermaine7fan]

Do you not want peace??? Cause I do... I believe we are gonna make some history together in the next few seasons... I want a friendly rivalry... not one like we have with Detrash... I respect your team too much to hate them... even if they take my team out in the Finals for the next three or four years... I'll sign the treaty!

I agree with all of that... Good luck to you against whoever comes out of the East... cause I don't think you have any serious compe ion out west

But will it be a prosperous peace or an uneasy one which may result in bloodshed later down the road?

I like the signing. I really think the Cavs are now contenders in the East. Lebron finally has some serious talent surronding him.

Ferry is not the GM of the year. Buford is.

There are point guards available. The nuggets could be looking to trade one of their PGs for a SG. No way they go into the season with Miller Watson and Boykins. unless unless Miller moves to shooting guard and they run run run run run and run. Then that Jeff Bzelick guy has my deepest sympathies for being pushed out of a job.
