Hey, i have heard a lot on how other players were doing but not on Turiaf, so i was wondering if anyone knows how well he is doing in the pre-season.
Thanks |

I haven't heard a thing about him since camp started, but based on his contributions last year, working with Team France, and his improving conditioning, I'm guessing he'll play 12-15 mpg this season.

^^^ What he said. Maybe more if he has worked on his jumper.

Nice! Good luck Ronny! |

Cool. Every team needs a guy like that. Somebody should tell Turiaf that pile-driving Raja Bell at mid-court would qualify as "dirty work not in the box score".

Flagrant fouls, and suspensions DO show up in the box score. |

Damn, and here I really thought he might pile-drive Raja Bell at mid-court if some people from an internet forum told him to. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I'm sure that is what Dr. Naismath had in mind when he nailed that peach basket on the barn. :roll:

Ugh with the eye-rolling and finger-wagging already. I doubt the good doctor envisioned guys throwing down windmill jams either...maybe we should eliminate that aspect of the game. Lighten up.

Eliminating that part of the game might make the players better. Maybe we could actually field a team of NBA players that could shoot the ball.

You sound like my dad! Ah the good old days of 5-9 white guys shooting granny shots at 35%
