What's the purpose of the "no hanging on the rim" rule?

They consider it taunting I believe. You're only allowed to do it when there's someone under you so that you don't get injured.

I predict this will be Tim Duncan's worst season. I think he only has three years left in him.

Kinda agree, but he's still a top 5 overall player this year.

if he has his health, there's no way he'll have a worse season than last.

I agree. He was playing with an injury all year. He was saving himself, that's why he exploded in the playoffs. If he's healthy then his numbers will improve.

he played with planar fascitis last year.

and this offseason was his first real offseason where he actually had time to relax and chill.

if anything, i think he'll have a top 4-5 season this year.

no continuity in the lineups, the backcourt is especially a mess. not sure if he's tried this yet but i don't know why avery wouldn't put terry back at the point and start stackhouse at 2. anthony johnson isn't bad, but he shouldn't be the starting pg on a probable playoff team, and devin harris isn't ready to be a consistent contributor yet. and why not give mo ager some minutes and see what he can do?

also why is that scrub diop starting at center? not saying dampier is good but he's not worse than diop.

if josh howard's ankle sprain is minor and avery tweaks the rotation and sticks with it they should turn it around quickly.

Basically the best story in the NBA right now.

ETAN vs. HAYWOOD, ROUND 2
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 01006.html

Centers Thomas, Haywood Reportedly in Recent Fight

By Ivan Carter
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, November 7, 2006; E01

ORLANDO, Nov. 6 -- Washington Wizards centers Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood were involved in a physical altercation last Thursday in which the two traded punches at Verizon Center, according to two team sources.

One source, who requested anonymity because the team was trying to keep the incident private, said Thomas was angry over comments made by Haywood's agent, Andy Miller, on Oct. 30.

Miller was critical of Coach Eddie Jordan's decision to select Thomas as the starting center over Haywood, believing Jordan chose Thomas out of personal animosity toward Haywood rather than performance. "My concern is that this is based on personal issues rather than professional ones," Miller said the day of the decision.

Thomas felt that Miller's comments were a slight toward him, he approached Haywood and threw the first punch once the argument escalated, a source said. According to the source, Haywood responded to the punch by body-slamming Thomas to the ground, tearing out at least two of Thomas's dreadlocks in the process. The two players were separated by teammates and the altercation ended.

Thomas and Haywood declined to comment Monday night after losing to the Magic. Neither player was suspended and it was unclear whether any fines were assessed. Both players were in uniform for Monday night's game at Orlando.

Haywood was suspended for one game after he and Thomas got into a fight during practice last season.

Thomas was named the starter prior to last Wednesday's regular season opener at Cleveland following a heated competition between the two players that began in training camp and continued throughout the eight-game preseason, during which they rotated starts.

Haywood had been the primary starter during his five seasons with the Wizards and was not pleased by the demotion though he publicly said he was prepared to "be a professional and play as hard as I always do."

It's clear, however, that Haywood thinks of himself as a starter and is not happy coming off the bench. Miller stopped short of demanding a trade for his client but he did say "the current situation is not good for Brendan or for the team."

Thomas impressed Jordan during the first two regular season games and was a powerful presence again Monday, finishing with 14 points, 15 rebounds and a career high 6 blocks. Jordan indicated after practice Sunday that he will stick with Thomas as the starter.

"He's a force, he is active down there and he earned his spot for just those reasons," Jordan said. "He shows a lot of passion, he tries his best to defend the rim and I like him in a starting position."

JAH BLESS

I cant wait to read the poems that Thomas will write about this.

Thomas owns him on the court. He was a beast yesterday and should be the starting center for the entire 06-07 season.

Redd is a cat that could drop 57 a night and nobody would care. Great player but he couldn't stand out at a party if he was with all KKK members.

Put him on the Knicks and he'd be paid 15M more plus will be gracing covers of S.I.

He's a straight dead-eye shooter and I'm surprised he hasn't had more big scoring outputs in his career. But he's pretty one-dimensional as a player, the prototypical scoring guard. He's better than Allan Houston ever was.
