Yeah, and don't forget his blocking abilities since Elton Brand isn't known for his defense, so basically the Clippers rely on this guy as the last line of defense inside the key. :)

E. Brand has a decent defense.....but Kamen helps the interior a lot..
E.Brand is the scorer of that team.... :bonk:

Agreed on that. By the way, have you been checking the pre-season games? My crappy player Marko Jaric isn't showing good numbers due to limited playing time. :shakehead: I don't see any reason to keep him in my team, I should begin looking for other options in the free agent pool :bonk:

That is what I am about to do......I'm just looking for a good substitute for him in the free agents pool.

We are using a head-to-head format and the score is based on the statistical categories that you lead in. I'll pm you later the mechanics of the game and explain it to you further. :)

12teams with the 6th pick.
Roster Positions : C,F,F,F,F,G,G,G,G,BEN,BEN,BEN

Final Roster

Ray Allen (R2 P7)
Brad Miller (R3 P6)
Rasheed Wallace (R4 P7)

Danny Granger (R8 P7)
Rafer Alston (R9 P6)
Udonis Haslem (R10 P7)
Josh Childress (R11 P6)

Yup, I saw some pics of it... I guess it's not supposed to get slippery over time despite all of the sweaty hands that come in contact with it.

according to the NPR report, the players say it does. and Shaq hates it.

That's because he's a lard ass.

I wont argue that. :hehe:

What difference will a new ball make for him: he still won't make FT. Time for Super-Hack-A-Shaq.

he'll be done by the end of this year anyways.. not much left in that guy i tell ya.

I would love for that to be true: the less I see of his mug on the tube, the better.
