Yes this thread and the Jefferson thread would be perfect ones.
You've come back with virtually nothing.
...except the example of the thread which you challenged 'koast for.
Finley most assuredly is the epitome of Popovich ruining what the Spurs were. 2005 Champs, 2006 63-19 reg season record and rolled Sacto in Round 1. Here is where Popazit switched to smallballs and Finley. It was the beginning of the end for the Spurs at the 3 and 4 positions. If Lurker was not in hiding even he may admit that Popazit had Finley on Dirk for large stretches of the 2006 fail.
...most folks wouldn't mind being "ruined" like the 2007 Spurs.
Fabs Oberto: Did exactly what i said he would do and actually more. Provided a role, rebounded and did some offense in a Championship Spurs run. 30 min per game at that.
As to WayOutWest *predicting* Fabs would nothing more then a journeyman center, he said Fabs would be nothing but a scrub before the championship. Went as far as saying Kwame Brown had a better 2007 playoffs then Fabs championship run. Maybe you are "with" WayOutWest too. As to **predicting** Fabs downfall after 2007, a baboon could have done that. Only Moron Pop would choose to forego Scola in favor of FinleyFabsBonner. An idiotic decision.
I'm not concerned with the baboon (where are you, Michael Olowakandi? (inside joke between Skander and me)) predicting what Oberto would become AFTER 2007, but the one who hypes the likes of a guy who WayOut *CORRECTLY* identified as the next scrub center. You weren't saying at the time that Oberto was a one-and-done guy - but WayOut was saying you were HIGHLY over-valuing him. In the end, WayOut was right, and you were wrong. Compare your over-hyping of Oberto with the way you acted toward Nazr Mohammad. You weren't insane enough to tout Mohammad. The difference was you *WERE* insane enough to tout Oberto. And you know what the difference was? It was that you'd already gotten a look at Mohammad long-term whereas Oberto was a rookie.
And as for Blair being a nobody...
DeJuan Blair '10: .560 FG%, .557 FT%, 18.5 MPG, 6.3 RPG, .6 BPG, 7.9 PPG.
Oberto '07: .562 FG%, .647 FT%, 17.3 MPG, 4.7 RPG, .3 BPG, 4.4 PPG.
Blair's better, but so far, not RADICALLY better. In comparison, check out these numbers:
.530 FG%, .733 FT%, 7.4 RPG, 1.1 BPG, 11.9 PPG, 30.7 MPG. That's the rookie year of someone we *ALL* pretty much called a nobody - a trade "throw-in." If Blair is this superfigure - what's this guy?
