Go with the Blazers. I saw them when they came down to Miami a couple of weeks ago. They are damn exciting, very fun to watch.

Plus, you will start liking them before they become really good so you wont be considered a bandwagoner.

If it makes you feel any better, the Thunder just choked away a big lead in spite of a good game by Durant.

Wat. There's an offense, yes, but there's also a defense. Don't they have one of the oldest defenses in football?

I'd try signing Cassel and then I'd trade Brady for some young defensive pieces and some draft picks. No troll.

Patsfag here, I guarantee you that Brady will not be traded until he either:
1. Gets an injury that fucks him up for 2+ seasons.
2. Plays like shit for the next 2 years.
3. Plays for the Pats for at least another 5-7 years.

I love Brady as much as the next patsfag, but fucking hell, our defense is getting shittier every week.

Gary Guyton is 22, Pierre Woods is 25 iirc

Bruschi is a benchrider and only comes in on obvious run downs and special teams, Vrabel is starting to suck and will be replaced this year by Shawn Crable/draftee next year.

rest of the D is all under 26 (excluding richard seymour who's 28)

He looked decent in preseason, didn't play much before we put him on IR for a broken toenail or something.

i'm hoping they draft one of the great tweener prospects (selvie, orakpo, michael johnson, greg hardy) or aaron curry who i think is a LOT like DeMarcus Ware.

Join the pacers, w/ me. <3

Pro's:
Danny Granger is maturing into a superstar, and is really just a monster.

T.J. Ford gets more rebounds than a lot of big mans, is always a threat to see your first on court death, is extremely underrated, and probably has the most 'almost triple doubles' on the year.

Dunleavy if he ever comes back is somewhat of an american white hope.

Marquis Daniels filling in for him is one of the only thugs left on the team and he fills out a stat sheet.

Troy Murphy averages the most Def Reb per game, and is another good white player and a big man who can shoot the three.

Also really like Jarret Jack.

Unsure:
Jim O'brien is your grandfather who taught you to shoot a three.

Larry Legend is getting saggier every day.

Cons:
Rasho Nesterovic

Jamal Tinsley

Faggot raptor fans thinking they getting J.O. is better than TJ and having to hear about it.

Indiana.

Brad Miller is the coolest white trash guy EVER. And he is a good passing big man, suck it.
Udrih is so average it hurts though. Kevin Martin, Salmons, Francisco Garcia, Jason Thompson, Spencer Hawes are all nice though. Plus I think they still have Candace Parkers boyfriend. Bobby Jackson is cool too.

Cons:
Kenny Thomas.

Undecided:
Mikki More
