I can't think of any other reason...Shelden was playing great.

For all the hate he gets, our win production has been about what any reasonable fan should have expected given the circumstances since he's been here. How on earth could anyone possibly expect more than 13 wins in 2004?? Expecting more than 26 wins in 2005 was unrealistic...I think we actually OVERACHIEVED that year. In 2006, I expected 33 wins, but given all the injuries to our BEST players, 30 sounds about right. This year, we are 10-10...IMO, we shouldn't expect anything more than 40 wins from the talent on this team. We have to understand Woody has been coaching THE youngest team in the league since he's been here...People just have disillusioned goals. Our production has matched about what I would have expected from this team no matter who is coaching.

I think Shelden's elbow got messed up right before halftime...

Hahaha...Man Woody is in a no win situation. When we lose, it's 100% his fault...When we win, it didn't have anything to do with him.

Great defensive game plan, and just an overall good coaching job by the head man. Put aside the hate, and admit he did a good job. 10-10 with this team at this point in the season with the eastern conference looking the way it is works for me!

Has us as the #8 seed. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/playoffodds

Yea man, that's me. Are you "thetruth" on there also?

IMO, having Acie on the floor just makes such a huge difference. I like the small line-up too.

You said yourself that either way the answer would be yes.

Might want someone else's input though...I don't remember for sure..

Either you think he has shown you he can adequately play C in the NBA or not.

I know it is a bit of work, but you should post a thread with a picture and screen name next to everyone who posted them just to have it all in one place. Kinda like you did with you aznsensation, atlas, and duffman in the first post. Just a thought.

For me, it is definitely a yes...Even though he is a bad ass PF also. He has really surprised me with how good of D he has played against opposing Centers...Sure he has gotten roughed up a few times, but he is holding his own. He is a rebounding MACHINE!!

I've been a Tennessee fan all my life...I just wear red and black to the UGA games for my girlfriend because she wears orange when we go to Tennessee games.

For the (almost) free tickets if we take that survey? I have a few friends who want to come too!

A "casual" fan. Chill out.

I wonder how badly their injuries will affect them...I really don't want Smoove to tweak that muscle any more than it already is.

I was referring to what YOU think he'd get...And from your post, I'm guessing it will be something around a 6 year 84 million dollar contract???

So sitting here right now, running on the limited information we have...What would you guess we end up signing Smoove for...Years and amount please

My "rooting" starts with the tipoff and ends with the buzzer. The rest of the time I am a critical thinker. You dig? We started last year in much the same fashion. How did that end up? Wile you are enjoying the ride, I'm worrying about who is flying the plane and if the hydraulics work. I think we have definitely started off more impressively this year even though we are 2-2 compared to 4-1...We have had a much tougher schedule, and have proven we can play with, AND BEAT absolutely anyone. Woody has these guys playing with great passion, and as a team we are playing ABOVE OUR HEADS...That is what a good coach should do...Have your players playing their hardest and above their talent (I'm talking *ready* talent...not potential talent). Wait to criticize him until we start consistently losing to teams we should beat.
