2012 CB Draft Southeast Division Press Conferences

[ronaldo943]

All three of them will never really play together sometimes williams with beasley but not a lot.


THis concerns me a lot your three best bench players arent going to play together. One who have to think this will greatly effect the starters.

Beasley will probably play 18-20 minutes same for smith but williams will play about 30 minutes and my three best are probably Spencer Hawes Lou Williams and Blair Nelson or Billups definetly not Beasley

[Who]

Why give more playing time to Lou Williams than JR Smith?

[Rondo2287]

Here is how I see the division. 

Atlanta 3 seed
Washington 6 seed
Orlando 8 seed
Miami DQ

[Donoghus]

Back & forth on 1 & 2.  I really don't know who would take the regular season title although I think ATL is more dangerous come playoff time.

1) Atlanta (love the core and vets)
2) Washington (great depth)
3) Orlando (interesting dynamic, not sure how Amare/McGee would work, though)
4) Miami (no presser = dead last)

[ronaldo943]

Why give more playing time to Lou Williams than JR Smith?

Cause we feel Lou is the better player.

[Who]

Why give more playing time to Lou Williams than JR Smith?

Cause we feel Lou is the better player.

What makes Lou Will the better player to give those minutes to?

[ronaldo943]

i think in the regular season we will have the better record than Atlanta cause they will need to rest the old guys and we have more depth, dont get me wrong though they are a really good team

I think Lou is a better player (and it's not particularly close to me) but it's tough to play the 6'2" Lou Williams with the 6'3" Stephen Curry in the backcourt.

He is younger, in my opinion a better scorer and well he lead the sixers in scoring, he will play 27 minutes and J,R 21, J.R will also play SF from time to time

I think your team is going to suffer for the following reasons, but this is just me:

#1) Stephen Curry will miss some games, and he'll play some games hurt. Point is a deep position in the league, but without one who is capable, you're trying to drive a car with a complicated set of pulleys (pullies? Puppies?) instead of a steering wheel.

2) Chauncey Billups, even if he manages to play all 82 like he says, won't even be ready for big minutes at the 2 until March

3) you're playing a frontcourt big minutes with 2 guys who play center as their best position, and one guy who plays PF. You should've traded one of Gortat or Crash for a real honest to goodness SF, or Ryan Anderson/Ilyasova

4) you're overrating Gortat, I'll get more into that if you want.

5) the depth at your 3 is nonexistent. You're filing a 3 hole with 2 4s.

Your suppose to ask question, it would have been understandable if i would have asked you what you thought of my team but i didnt. I really dont want to even reply to any of your statements as i will be wasting my time as you will say something again and i will have to reply to it, sorry just not in the mood

[indeedproceed]

Sorry, I was replying to this:

It's easy to get fatigued by the examination process. Don't let it get to you. Notice, I didn't say youd have a bad team, but that it would suffer for the points I brought up. You have a good team.

Come on, bro. Every team on here gets criticized. He was just simply stating his concerns. You're not required to answer. Although, I would recommend you reply in defense of your team. That's what press conferences are all about.

[indeedproceed]

Also, don't take repeated criticism too personally. You've got a good team, you've talked about it a crapton, and ibecause of those things people are gonna talk about it, a crapton. My team has been mentioned at least a dozen times in each of the threads in the east, and that's beyond having Chris Bosh being called Ru Paul the entire time, based off one game 3 (or 4?) years ago against Shaq. You can't take everyone of the critiques personally, just look for ways to go about defending them that address the real percieved weakness.

 If you want some help/pointers/good places to look for source info, PM me. I'm still gonna be up for a while and I just made myself a manhattan.

The thing is though i could also bring up some points like:

1) Dwyane Wade is in decline he is 30 years old and you could definetly tell by the playoffs
2) Paul Pierce is in decline he is 35 years old and you could definetly tell by the playoffs
3) Brendan Haywood is your starting center
4) You are overrating Jarrett Jack
5) What is Jack playing SG or PG either way one position will have a not so good backup
6) You have a dinosaur on your team

I could easily go to every sport website like 82games espn mysynergy or whatever you look at and prove these to you, i still think of you guys as a contender though and i will still put you guys as number 1 in the east as we look at the team and not at who manages it
