    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Agree, although I think one guy should have been off the board definitely at this point. I actually considered him with my second pick.

  2. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    I did my best to stay quiet on the issue but the issue won

    Are you thinking Rondo or Westbrook?

  4. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    I really don't see anything wrong with taking Pippen with the 15th pick. He was just awesome defender, probably the best ever at his position.

    You are lucky that Duncan is a nice guy, otherwise I could see some locker room / team chemistry issues

  6. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Trouble with that concept is that really dominant ones you can build around show up every 10 years or so

  7. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Yeah, it does seem weird but if people prefer to build a team around the big guy it's hard to pass on any of the centers selected so far.

    And later Havlicek

    Sharman and Bob Cousy were hardly scrubs.

  10. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    Well, he was putting those numbers against Russell. Just the rest of the team couldn't keep up with Celtics.

  11. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    You can always leave your 2 top picks with someone else in case birdest makes selection.

  12. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    I don't see confusion either. This will end as 11 Allstar teams that can play competitive ball.

  13. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    I don't think so. It's the way coaches relied on his 30-40 PPG. When he was asked to pass more and shoot less, he did. Sixers won NBA that way. Russell and Jabbar were also surrounded by better players/teams.

  14. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    He would be my pick ahead of Russell and maybe Jabbar.

  15. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Yep, we'll never know. Would be great watching Russell go at some humongous specimens of recent times though.

  16. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    I'm not talking about Russell only, used him as an example because he is the only old-timer off the board. That x-factor is what I have in mind - these top 100 players have it x^2. So much that it just wouldn't matter when they had their careers.

  17. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    That sounds very logical but quantity != quality. Russell would still face one at the time and there were only a handful of true match-ups to date.

    Lol. Good old Sean, two rings and counting....

  19. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    In the name of curiosity, I do . Wouldn't make draft any faster - I'm off for today.

  20. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    I don't think it's relevant. 100-something players we're going to pick are/were extraordinary. I have no doubt that each one of them could adjust to any rules and conditions and still end up in top 100 or thereabouts.

  21. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Oh, I forgot you are picking at 10

  22. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Wrecked my board...

  23. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Lol It's not that bad in a short draft actually

  24. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Maybe change the list in the draft thread so it matches the draft order?

  25. All-Time NBA Draft: Discussion

    allblackraven replied to -Truth-'s topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Should be right about now.
