Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Six months into his new job and Herman has OU on tilt)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
You're putting words into my mouth to a degree. I do believe Herman thinks Zaire could be the best option.
You think Bird has a different level of "it" than Lebron?
LeBron is what it would look like if Magic and Bird had a baby.
I hope so, but the way you worded it sounded like you weren't focused on him because he was committed to LSU.
Dak and Zeke upgraded the Dallas offensive by producing on field production/results not projection. You're saying the Texans have upgraded their offense based on draft projections. Your claim that the Texans have upgraded their QB position is false at this moment because there is zero evidence to back that claim in terms of performance. Slow down, everything you're saying is purely projection.
There are literally hundreds of players in the state to keep up with. My somewhat miscalculation is that he would be more active in the camp/combine circuit, but that hasn't quite been the case this year.
What I was trying to convey is that I expected that time to give a better look the last few months, thus a lack of urgency on the matter.
Ketch, where did you get the pic of the wolf? That has to be one of the most majestic, kingly, stunningly beautiful animals on earth! He takes your breath away! Good Lord!
I get what you're saying, proven production has less risk than probably or possible production. However, it's probably fair to project Houston to go from perhaps the worst starting QB in the NFL too something less worse like, say, 8th worse with a 4th year in this system Tom Savage and a talented DeShaun Watson. The offensive line should be better with Nick Martin coming back from injury, and many talented skill position players drafted last year will have another year in the system including Fuller, Braxton, and Lamar Miller. Adding Foreman should increase the efficiency of Lamar Miller.
I'm not picking them over Dallas' young guys, just pointing out that it's not difficult to envision this offense outperforming last year's horror show.
It's true, unless you want to inflate what he accomplished against unskilled players in an era where his team was stacked with more HOF players than anyone else.
The truth of the matter is that if you put Anthony Davis on that Celtics team in the 50s and 60s, they win just as many titles and his numbers would have been even better.
Isn't that's what all sports debate is? Projection? If we aren't allowed to project what we think will happen in the future, what are we doing on this site?
There you go trying to push that progressive agenda again.
All jokes aside, there's something MJ & Bird had that LeBron doesn't. I can't define it. There is no question that LeBron is the better athlete, but people feared MJ and Bird in a way that they don't fear LeBron.
It's a different era. LeBron's personality is different. All these guys vacation together and are truly friends.There you go trying to push that progressive agenda again.

The rivalries of the game are dead, because these young bucks don't look at the game that way. Magic and Bird...Jordan and Isiah... they really hated each other on the court. It's just not like that anymore, but that's not necessarily all Bron's fault. I tell you what, though... he doesn't like GS, and I think we'll see some fireworks in the finals.
That's crazy talk. LeBron is in the head of every player in today's game.There you go trying to push that progressive agenda again.

I can only speak based on my clients in the NBA. They all recognize him as the best player in the league, but none of them fear him. Maybe it's a reflection of the fact that the players are all friends, like @NovoHorn said. But, they don't fear Cleveland the way I perceive that teams did the Bulls.
Bull Corn....I respect your opinion but, that is ridiculous, seriously. I guess we just totally disagree. I saw him play growing up, he was an unbelievable athlete....unbelievable.
No, I'm mostly talking about Russell, whose resume gets overhyped because he happened to play for the most talented team.
His game was overrated.
Hmm... I can only speak as a Spurs fan but doesn't ever seem to be in Kwahi Leonard's head at all. I do still think Lebron is the best in the league at this point but Leonard plays him better than anyone else and seems to relish playing against him.
completely agree- he subjugated his own game to allow others around him to succeed. He was also the best passing big man I ever saw not named Bill Walton. I say this about him also having some mutual acquaintances who said he is a king sized jerk, but that doesnt diminish his exceptional skills and extraordinary team play
I never said he was the best of all time. I said he was a terrific team player and big man passer and deserves being mentioned in the top group of players due to that all around game. he wasnt in the Hakeem, wilt, jabbar, Shaq etc category but theres no doubt about his contribution within the realm of a great team. I think Sam and KC Jones, Havlicek, Heinsohn and others on that team would not agree with your characterization of Russell.
