Dirk or KG?

[monosylab1k]

Were you even watching NBA basketball ten years ago? These two guys were showing lots of potential as a tandem. The Wolves compiled a 97-85 regular season record during the 2.5 seasons Marbury was there. Sure, the record doesn't look overly impressive. Keep in mind that these were two players who were barely out of their teens who were going through the growing pains of winning in the NBA. Had they continued playing together for several more years, the sky would have been the limit.

But, I understand your argument since you're basing your opinion of Marbury primarily on hindsight due to his recent woes with other teams. Marbury and Garnett had great on court chemistry. Something you wouldn't understand unless you followed the Wolves closely like I did during those years. Garnett never had that second star a team needs to get to the next level and neither did Marbury. Marbury was in the best situation of his career in Minnesota. Unfortunately, it was his jealousy of Garnett that got him out of Minnesota as he forced management to trade him or lose him to free agency with no compensation gained in return.

You have to be joking when you imply that losing Marbury was the best thing that happened to Garnett, correct? I mean, how does losing in the 1st round for seven straight years be the best thing that happened to Garnett?

Which is why the year after Marbury leaves Minnesota, the Wolves went on to win a then franchise high amount of wins. With a young Chauncey Billups and Terrell Brandon running point for them.

Not to mention how the Nets went to the Finals the year after Marbury, and the Suns made it to the WCF the year after (both teams being miserably bad the year before with the great Stephon). The dude needs to go play for And 1, because as talented as he is, he has no clue what team basketball is about.

If Marbury stuck around Minnesota, they wouldn't have lost in the first round seven years straight, because there's no way in a guy like Stephon Marbury can be a significant member of an NBA team that makes the playoffs seven years straight.

So what are the Spurs?










*awaits history lesson*

Only '99 can really be considered "history", since key components from both '03 and '05 remain. Then again, it's better to have "history" than to have none...

Its a close call....Really depends on what type of player you like. Personally I would take KG. IMO KG is the better passer, rebounder and defender. Dirk has always had a much better supporting cast(top 5 point guard and role players who would be number one options on most teams) Sam doesnt get hurt in 04 the Wolves woulda beat LA and may have beat the Pistons.

[jacobdrj]

the great foursome that bickered and fought and ripped the team apart from the inside and promptly got their asses kicked by a far less talented detroit team? that great foursome?

the Wolves should have murdered the Lakers that year. KG was awful in that series as well.

Pistons overall were infinately more deep, and younger, which made for less injurries. Not to mention that all the pieces fit perfectly.

Not to mention they were hungrier and they had huge chips on their shoulders because everyone but their own fans were saying they were gonna get swept.

.........and the redskins have come out with a chip on their shoulder. the Cowboys simply need to pick it up or they will simply go home

Damn, I haven't checked in for nearly 14 hours, and a Cowboys-Redskins game has broken out.

hahaha im not a great lip reader but i can tell Coach parcells is clearly frustrated. that is the seventh sack given up by the Dallas offensive line today. they need to do better.

Then we disagree. The one year Garnett had a pure point guard with a scorers mentality, the Wolves reached the Western Conference Finals.

There's is no way in the Wolves are eliminated seven consecutive years if Marbs sticks around. I don't care how many games the Wolves won the year after Marbury left with Terrell Brandon. Brandon, while a decent shooter, was not a cold blooded compe or like Marbury is in close ballgames. , the dude never got 3 NBA teams past the 1st round of the playoffs in his entire career. Correction, once in his rookie year, but only because he was backing up Mark Price in Cleveland.

You're basically being ignorant only because you're basing all of your opinions of Marbury on 20/20 hindsight. But, what should I expect from a Mavericks fan who's masquerading as an Atlanta Hawks fan. Nobody's buying it, BTW.

I haven't seen any of the game as of yet. How's TO faring? Better yet, has Parcells managed not to strangle him?

Bledsoe has had a hard time standing up back there today. not a great day for the dallas O-line. these guys are gonna be in Parcell's doghouse tommorow. lets just say that Monday is not gonna be fun for them

[Brad Sham]

.........but they have managed to hit open spots in the flats. that seems to be a plus

Yeah, it's gotta be that early start time. Most NFL games don't kick off until 1 P.M EST on Sundays.
