5 games you are being too kind.

i'll be pulling for you... I just don't see it happening.

The Jazz earned game 1. They earned game 4. They earned tonight. The Rockets would have won Game 2 with Alston, though. No red-blooded individual can claim otherwise. ****, without him, it would have been a tie game if not for a bogus foul call on Scola.

Here are my 2 cents of what I saw.

Kirilenko is a good defender, but he brings nothing on offense. at all. He just stands around and watches everyone else play and then once a shot goes up, he cuts to try to get a rebound.

Boozer is a lazy defender. There is no reason Scola should be getting a consistent 16 and 10 on him. none. He will need to be much better against Gasol. Is he hurt? b/c last year, he was much, much better than he is playing now. (and was playing to end the season).

The benches for the two teams are damn near equal. Turiaf and Millsaps are the same player imo, and down the line.

I just think the Lakers and Rockets are similar, but Kobe is better than T-Mac and Gasol is much better than Scola and Fisher is a better shooter than Alston, so it will be an uphill battle.

Could say the same thing about the call when AK was just pulling his arm out of McGrady's grasp at the end of game 3.

Here are my 2 cents of what I saw.

Kirilenko is a good defender, but he brings nothing on offense. at all. He just stands around and watches everyone else play and then once a shot goes up, he cuts to try to get a rebound. He was close to the being the points leader in a game or two but we have not asked him to score as much this year with the new additions. He also killed it on offensive boards and put backs all series.

Boozer is a lazy defender. There is no reason Scola should be getting a consistent 16 and 10 on him. none. He will need to be much better against Gasol. Is he hurt? b/c last year, he was much, much better than he is playing now. (and was playing to end the season). He and others have been nicked up throughout the season and are close to being healthy. Boozer had the worse of it, reoccuring ankle problems.

The benches for the two teams are damn near equal. Turiaf and Millsaps are the same player imo, and down the line. Bench potential is the same but the consistency of the bench favors the Jazz. We have 7 or so guys averaging double figuers. The games the Rockets lost, McGrady and sometimes Scola were getting a majority of the points.

I just think the Lakers and Rockets are similar, but Kobe is better than T-Mac and Gasol is much better than Scola and Fisher is a better shooter than Alston, so it will be an uphill battle.

I saw the Jazz playing aggressive and not allowing easy baskets. Frustrating them was what we needed to do and they accomplished that IMO. Everyone played there role and any given night you will see someone different stepping up. If we carry that over to the Lakers and take a game at their place, it will go to game 7 and if the Jazz sweep at home I like their chances as well.

Do the math. That was, what? October? It's now May. If she was pregnant then, and still carrying...nobody KNEW she was pregnant then...probably not even her.

I also was an idiot in college. Just didnt have cnn reporting on it. Frankly the amount of booze I drank (among other things) would have probably gotten me kicked out of the country let alone a national champion football team.
that was all I was saying really.

No offense intended...I'm trying really hard to understand this point of view. However, it's a little difficult when we're talking about a 21 year old father that has been given a golden opportunity to become a gazillionaire...and we consider HIM a kid...while across the globe, 18 and 19 year old MEN AND WOMEN are fighting and dying in a war and defending our nation...the very nation that provided this "kid" all of the opportunities that he has so needlessly pissed away...pun intended.Spare me the "kid" crap, please.

I heard she had the baby back during his suspension a week or so before the Spring game, premature.

So, I'm confused...

Where is RP headed? The Jazz, Rockets, or Lakers?

The Lakers. He and Kobe are going to be best buds (Kobe does still play for the Lakers, I assume?)

the nets so jason williams can have a new bodyguard, and xavier can drive the limo.

Well, I saw the news on yahoo yesterday, right before my second interview at a job I really want. Talk about being distracted. I kept wanting to say, "DAYUM!" randomly, and I blame RP for that.

Seriously, it saddens me that it came to this. But I trust Miles, and I am really, really, really, really, really, really, really glad this didn't happen in October or November of this year.

Old Bandit · 05-03-2008, 09:25 AM

Jiminy Crickets, I take a few days away from my LSU reading and our Mr Perrilloux gets kicked off the team. I must say I am not surprised, and that I think that Coach Miles did what was right for the team and the school. The young man has had several problems and appears to be entirely too immature for the job that he was about to take on. Sad, for all the talent he has, that he will not be able to show those talents off for a team that would have given him every opportunity to become and NFL super star.

I think it is the best thing for the players, the team, and the coaching staff. The Tigers can now move foward without the distractions of young Mr. Perrilloux. This will be another obstacle that Coach Miles will be able to prove that he is a great coach. We have a very talented quarterback group and I think anyone of them will be able to step in and perform well. Well enough to win another National Championship, probably not, but well enough to win the SEC, I think it is possible.

Good luck to you Mr. Perrilloux, you will need it. The Tigers will be just fine. With the talent the will be surrounding young Mr. Lee or Mr. Hatch, either one of them will be able to get the job done.

Contained Chaos · 05-03-2008, 04:07 PM

Honestly, I hate to sound rude or insensitive, but it's very hard for me to wish good luck to someone who had so many chances and blew every one of them. I really just don't care what happens to the guy now. He never cared about the team enough to curb his idiotic behavior, so why should I care what he does now? He is a selfish brat, and appears to be cut from the very same cloth as they guys who give star athletes a bad name. I'm not wishing bad luck on the fella, I just don't particularly care one way or the other.

You've been smokin as much as RP if you think how he stepped up and performed wasnt special. (and of course someone else could have stepped up, but you could say that for every player on every sports team that has ever played.)

No offense, fellas. But this is a tired and, thankfully, irrelevant argument.

You're both right.

Now he's going to be someone else's headache/savior.
