March 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) That was bad on his part but pargo stepped up tonight. No doubt Pargo did his job tonight. Without Pargo, the Bulls lose this game. I just wanted to point out the TO wasn't Gordon's fault on that particular play.
March 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) I love Ben Gordon. And what was Knight thinking trying to pick a fight with Chandler lol. And you know Tyson isn't going to sucker punch someone in the nuts. Boy is from Compton!
March 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) That was bad on his part but pargo stepped up tonight. Ya he did. He wasnt' even all that crappy defensively tonight. Really hit some big buckets too. Anyone wanna recken Tyson gets a game suspension or so?
March 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 31, 2005 -> 02:33 AM) Them. They lead the season series 1-0 but we still have one more game against them. um its actually 1-1 i was at the game we beat the wizards
March 31, 200521 yr Anyone else thinking that kerr was gonna have a stroke? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Since when is Kerr alive? I thought Wayne Larrivee just pulls on some wires like a puppeteer.

March 31, 200521 yr Don't ask me, I had the Bobcats feed. Holy cripes...for 3 quarters they were drubbing how Okafor should be rookie of the year. Then in the 4th all they could do was tip there cap to Gordon. Still, Okafor should be rookie of the year because he's played a ton more minutes and has been a big part of the season. Gordon should be 6th man of the year.
March 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) I was about to change it i skipped right over it. So that would mean the teams will play twice down the stretch? Cause at least usually teams play each other 4 times.
March 31, 200521 yr Fun fact about tonight's game: Fotop had a bet on Bulls -3... You'd think that would be a winner up 4, with two free throws to go and 3 seconds left? Nope, I pushed, but in the end I think I was lucky to just push considering Curry and Hinrich were out as well as Chandler getting ejected in crunch-time. But gosh, when it's in your grasp like that and a meaningless two wrecks that it sucks. Again, don't gamble kids. It makes pointless finishes to games unbelieveably cruical.

March 31, 200521 yr how can you not even consider ben gordon for ROY...he puts up just as good scoring OFF the bench in LESS minutes per game for a WINNING team in the PLAYOFF race although as evidenced by lebron winning last year it wont come down to that fact but just saying you cannot dismiss him so easily

What would our record be without his 4th Quarter heroics? Edited March 31, 200521 yr by Jabroni

Whose more valuable, Gordon, simply because he's playing for a winning team and has had so many huge 4th quarters. Still, I think you have to look at it that Gordon is a scorer, Okafor is many things and plays starter minutes. I think in the end Gordon's lack of minutes is what will keep him from winning the award. I wouldn't complain if he did though cause it will be a tough choice. Part of me says give it to Gordon simply because he's helping a team into the playoffs. On a sidenote, Wizards win.

March 31, 200521 yr personally i doubt gordon has little chance of winning the award with the type of seasons howard and okafor are having but he still deserves to be mentioned among thos 3 as the elite rookies of this class

Things against that though is that Okafor is the #1 scoring option on that team and he's only shooting about 41% IIRC, which isn't too good at all for a PF.
March 31, 200521 yr yeah i think voters are going to look at that the reason Emeka is putting up better numbers is because he gets more playing time and his team is horrible... As for Howard if the Magic were still in the playoffs and like the 6th plus seed i think he would be given more consideration but of the 2 rookies out of the playoffs Emeka has better numbers. For Gordon he is the scorer. The NBA loves scoring and he scores more than Emeka in less minutes and very similar FG% which helps Ben since he is a SG compared to Emeka being a PF. Also id think his ownage of Emeka's Bobcats today might sway some voters and the fact he has scored double digits in the 4th quarter a lead leading 21 times.
