Didn't know they gave separate awards for each conference
Cool deal.

Didn't know they gave this award at all!

I’ll bet there are a lot of awards we haven’t heard about over the last few years of losing. Like I read something about players getting rings awarded for some sort of contest thing after the regular season ends. Apparently they sneak the contest in between the end of the season and the draft. I’ll have to look that up. Maybe we could try and get some of those rings down the road.

Does this contest involve ping pong balls like the lottery?

No, no, that can't be it, the NBA isn't that repitive
They must use footballs? Oh, shit, the NFL’s got dibs. Hmmm, oh, I know! They use soccer balls! Because no one uses those things…

At least Greece made the World Cup this year
No chance of a Greece v. Peru, so we’ll have to settle for Greece v. Mexico alright Ed?

The part with rings? I think he means the Limpics
I bet that is it

LOL
Good comeback there Aykis.
I actually don’t like Mexico. They always have it way too easy to qualify. Peru plays Argentina and Brazil while Mexico and the US play Honduras and Costa Rica. How fair is that??
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
Seriously
At least Greece had to beat out the Ukraine and Israel, both good teams.

So what's the solution?
A pre-Cup World Cup to determine who get’s into the World Cup?
Don’t hate on the US’s competition… Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago… and don’t get me started on the regional year-in year-out powerhouse The Virgin Islands… the Fighting Virgins! boo-yah!

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

I'm a big proponent of
an all Americas qualifier where both Conmebol (South America) and Concacaf (North America) participate for a total of 8 direct berths and 2 more teams playing a playoff game to get the last 9th berth.
Anyways, too much soccer talk. Back to your scheduled programming

You're just jealous cause you know nothing about

I refuse to watch a sport that has 90 minutes of game time
And 25 seconds of real action a game.

What are you talking about
There’s actually more real action in soccer than in baseball and football. That’s why I picked up basketball, because it has a lot of that non stop game action.
If you think soccer fouls stop the game a lot it’s really not that different from basketball.
A soccer game lasts 90 minutes and the broadcast takes 2 hours. A basketball game has 48 minute games and the broadcast lasts 2.5 hours
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
No no
There’s a lot of RUNNING in Soccer, but there is little else. I don’t get much pleasure out of seeing a well executed pass from the full back to the forward trying to get a tiny advantage during a 2 on 1 breakaway.
Now, I agree with you about the broadcasts. I always have open minds about sports until I watch a few games because I never know how little I will like them. SOCCER IS BORING AS HELL. I mean I understand why you love it ed; it’s no problem from where I stand.
But Soccer to me is the running equivalent of horse racing, only there is less talking before & after the game in Soccer matches.

Yeah it's not for everyone
I can see why youwouldn’t like soccer. It’s cool though, at least we both like basketball, apparently just a little
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
Heh.
Yeah. Have a good night ed.

Why does the timer go up? I never understood that.
because the game could go over
And I guess clocks couldn’t do negative time?

I' Am So Happy
Tyreke is such a great asset to this team. Gotta love our staff for drafting him.
If Winning Isn't Everthing, Why Do They Keep Score? - Vince Lombardi
Great news.
I wonder how many times we’ll see Evans and Jennings mentioned the same headlines in the future.
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Probably every month
Until Griffin comes back, and probably even after that. So far its the DWill/CP3 of the draft but more hercules and AI. Can’t really see that many other rookies challenging these two for this monthly award, not a knock on the other guys in the draft class; just these two appear to be men among boys (small sample size)…..oh wait I forgot about Eric Maynor.
I could see Terrence Williams making a splash here and there if the Nets get a W finally.
True but I’m not counting Griffin out at all. I think the kid is the real deal. He has a lot to work on like ‘Reke and Brandon do and his position is a lot easier than running an offense. Like Tyreke, Griffin is also a ’Total Package’; great handle, super athletic, awesome work ethic and high IQ for the game. Never thought I’d be looking forward to watching Clippers games.
It’s going to be a battle but the ROY award is ’Reke’s to lose as long as he keeps these numbers up. As one StR member said, ’Reke’s game isn’t conducive to a shooting slump (wait was that you who said that? I can’t recall).
33 Wins. Yeah, I said it.
Congrats Reke
Now come out and beat those Pacers
Godfather of the "nice ass" movement.... the future begins now...
Congrats Reke!
I think the Kings are probably a year ahead of where everyone thought they would be in rebuilding. Tyreke could very well turn into a big star in the league and already has some nice players growing around him.
Go Kings!
this kid
Will be League MVP one day….lets just hope we can keep him in sactown
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stay in sactown!

I admit that I was one of the people who was upset that Rubio was not drafted at #4, but I was okay with the pick of Tyreke. He didn’t fit the conventional PG mold, but I put my trust in Geoff Petrie. Boy am I glad Petrie has such an eye for talent. Tyreke will be MVP someday and Tyreke will be the best player to ever put on a Sacamento Kings jersey. Hopefully, Tyreke will feel the love that we have for him, and stay wearing that jersey for the rest of his career. I’ll wash your car, paint your house, mow your lawn, do your landry, vacuum your house, shine your shoes, make you breakfast in bed, and whatever you like if you stay in Sac! We love you Tyreke!
Tyreke Evans for R.O.Y!

Now that's a mea culpa if you'll ever see one

IMHO Its kind of like he was a sleeper in the draft
Other than Stuart Scott and a couple other people on draft day (dicky V) Reke never got much national media love. Like Griffin, Rubio, and even Thabeet got. I think some of that had to do with Derrick Rose, with everything he did by carrying Memphis to the championship game (He had a much better supporting cast than Tyreke did though), and his performance in such game, kind of made what Reke did in college seem pedestrian if thats fair to say.
Glad it happened though because with more hype who knows he may have gone second or third. As far as Rubio I’d be glad to draft him two years down the rode (although I believe he’ll be with Minnesota still. Pookey correct me on this)
As long as Rubio doesn't stop playing professional basketball
Minnesota will hold onto Rubio’s rights forever theoretically.

Haha I knew you would have the answer
thank you. That will definately be interesting to see when he comes over how that team does. A lot will change by then, but I wonder if Rambis will still be there. He doesn’t seem really like the right coach for Rubio (or Flynn for that matter).
I think you mean John Wall
Although Mike Wall could really help us between the pipes –

What I meant by this and forgot to put in was
I’m not really suprised by what Tyreke is doing. I try to follow as much college ball as I can, although didn’t see all of his games. Tyreke is a man child, this is the reason he was the top recruit out of high school (Hence the reason he went to Memphis), and having watched countless videos on him, and documentaries, and seeing how he just was on cruise control in college its not all that shocking that he is doing what he is doing. When you watch the interviews of him on Kingsflix during practices he doesn’t seem all that shocked either. He’s humble but he knows that if he just goes out and plays the game he is going to get his.
This is pretty impressive
considering that he was drafted as a work in progress with tremendous upside. I mean, here is a kid learning the PG position on the fly, and his jump shot is improving but far from a finished product.
Congratulations, Tyreke. Kudos, Paul. Well done, Geoff.

how stoked is the guy who started ahead of Jennings in Italy?
He’s thinking he could OWN this League.

and how thrilled his old coach must be
He’s looking at 13 years of being the dumbass who benched Brandon Jennings.

I sort of enjoy watching the Blazers struggle; Miami looks good tonight.

So what did he win? A free phone (with mail-in rebate and two-year service contract)? A date with Catherine Zeta-Jones?
