Hes a classic example of a guy who will finish highly in the race but has no chance of actually winning.
I think if they had Jeff early in the season he would have a decent chance, but Curry will definitely win. :mjcry:

shyt I hope they run into each other in the playoffs. That shyt would be epic :ehh:

Nawh, I never said that nor was i implying that. I was trying to say that if he was more disciplined he could have been working on things like better footwork on the defensive end to stay in front of people. We see defenders like Pj Tucker who are not very athletic at all, but they can stay in front of people. Beas should have been AT LEAST trying to correct some holes in his game BEFORE he got to the league, but he seems more worried about poppin E-pills and smoking weed.
breh, he cant guard 3s. Its just an athleticism thing.

And he too small to guard 4s. Creh was just a classic tweener.

The laziness can be pointed to his offensive game, but he had no hope defensively.

Because we all know Darko was instrumental in winning that championship right? :rolleyes:

You sound like the dumbfukk here friend

The draft pick 12 years ago was presented by the previous poster as one that destroyed a franchise, whereas it had little effect on the pistons success. The Pistons franchise has had a helluva lot more recent relevancy than the Rockets.

Pistons won the championship the year we took Darko you dumb fukk

Okay internet thug what have they done since? If they had taken Carmelo they would be in the Finals damn near every year with what they had. Wallace, Billups, Rip with Melo and they had Rasheed too. They probably would have beaten SA as well and been set up to do more damage.

I'm not trying to get into a Rockets/Pistons debate or comparison. I just don't get the hate for Josh Smith on ya'll end. He didn't say shyt bad about ya'll when he left and ya'll went on a run without him. So why they hate? Now nikkas calling me all kinda shyt just becuz I ask where your bitterness from Josh is coming from.

People calling Josh a cancer since he came to the Rockets know nothing about the situation or haven't seen him play with the Rockets. Cuz he has helped. Does he take his 3's yes, does he yap at the refs yes, does he turn it over yes. But has he solidified the Rockets bench yes, has he had a positive impact yes, has he been unselfish yes, is he another ballhandler/playmaker yes.

Nikka could at least be MELO status on D. I think since he was at a athletic disadvantage like you said, he gave up on ever trying to get quicker or trying to play D at all. But I agree, he never stood a chance at being better than mediocre at the defensive end, but there are plenty of teams that can hide a bad defender. Look at the MAVS, they have hidden DIRK for years, but Dirk is miles ahead of BEAS in efficiency.

You can be an effective player without being a good defender, but if you cant play D or score efficiently, then you will get the BOOT
