    12-13 leaves hope and legitimatizes them as a contender.
    2-4 leaves despair and let's us say he hasn't gotten any further with the team he requested to be traded to rather than from.

    I'll take the latter

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    Or does overachieving plant a skewed view that they are close and cause them make all the wrong moves and turn into Kneo-Knicks?

    So many angles?

    I'm just being mean... pulling wings off of flies, so to speak. (Not really).

    One of those mind-**** deals. Sadistic.

    Burke is even faster than NRob and otherwise is very similar to him. Talk about fun to watch.
    I think you're selling Robinson short here. Other than his height, he was a physical specimen. He measured out faster, more explosive, and more athletic than both Westbrook and Rose.

    But I do agree that Burke should be able to score in the same fashion as Robinson. There's a lot to like there.

    ?!?!?!?!!?!!??!!??!!??!!? Surely you must mean Trob, and if not- what is the handicap? Does Nate have to hop on one leg?

    WOW Did you see Shumpert's dunk? Spectacular. And Rose (who had the same injury) is still sitting on the bench

    I love Conley's game. So underrated. I still can't believe the Grizzlies extended him to a 5 year 40mil contract. What a steal.

    Well, it was (and I agreed with this sentiment) thought that the contract was too expensive for what Conley showed. Glad he worked out.

    Pulling for a Memphis-Indiana final. ESPN would break down and cry.

    No. People are being caught up in the moment. Nate Robinson takes terrible shots. Doesn't have good vision. Undersized. Is "fearless" AKA means he has no conscience and his best season passing netter 4.5 assist. If Burke is he, then I wouldn't touch Burke w a 10 foot pole with our pick. thankfully, he is not.

    Right now because our team is eliminated anyone who plays well on T.V. will be the main topic for trade scenarios and comparisons.

    Also, anyone in a uniform?
    Can't take you serious, sorry. A player with such a low IQ and offensive game (only oops) as Chandler may hardly get in the top 50.
    You can also take off Love, Harden, Gasol and Parker. Howard is debatable.
    You are just hating on D.Rose.

    Harden is definitely of a level with a healthy D-Rose.

    And it wouldn't surprise me if Nate Robinson always looked like he does. Dude is a lil' powerhouse with crazy hops. Might legitimately be the most athletic person in the NBA.

    Chandler has a low iq? Weird everyone that plays w him says his defensive iq is off the charts.

    That's not the point at all. I'm simply comparing them as far as stature. That's what people put down Burke for, right? Tell me I'm wrong.

    Burke is bigger. Stature is cp3.

    Burke's actually just about the same size just taller.

    Lil Nate is an athletic freak of Dwight Howard proportions. Burke isn't the athlete that Robinson is and saying so just seems very off as athletic abilities usely are the easiest attribute to measure. This coming from a guy who think Burke can have a career comparable to Chris Paul.

    Yes? But Burke's thick too. He's no 160 lb. stick. He's 190 solid @ 5' 10".

    NRob is listed at 5' 9" 180 but we all know that's BS. He's a generous 5' 8". The math works for me.

    Listen, People were comparing his game. Look up if you don't believe me. As far as thickness, sure i'll conceded that Burke is 3 inches taller and nearly the same weight. So what though? If Burke ends up playing like Nate it would be a flipping nightmare. I don't even remember you talking about Burke until last night or today and throwing in the stature thing out of the blue (or it could be not reading and comprehending, if so you have my apology).
