See here Ricky, typos or spelling errors are not the same as grammar errors.

Someone has to keep shooting down Sportsfan215's Amir to the Laker's deals.

No worries, I am doing venetian plaster right now which requires a putty knife and no brushes, so I'm golden.

Amir with 5.38 Blocks per 48 minutes

Last 10 games...

11.6 MPG 63.3 FG% 4.3 PPG 3.9 RPG 1.1 BPG

Very solid contributions for a player getting less than 12 MPG.

WE NEED MORE AMIR!

Man Amir brings so much energy.

Just think about what's going to happen once he can start drinking.

Thing about Amir -- he does have All Star potential. Most people don't know this but the kid does have a good touch around the rim with either hand. The problem in the NBA so far has been that when guys are physical with him, he loses his balance in the post. When he gets stronger, people will realize that he's more than just a pure dunker and garbage point guy. He's going to have a post game and while his dribbling is below average for a small forward, it's good for a post player.

Between Stuckey and Amir, Detroit has two big building blocks for their future.

The little hook shot he's starting to use is really nice. He really does have a nice touch around the basket. This guy just might be a keeper. :wink:

http://www.nba.com/statistics/lenovo/le ... am=Pistons

Those are the +/- Stats for the last 10 games.

Pistons Leaders

Billups +98 Min 293
Sheed +88 Min 298
Hamilton +74 Min 300
Prince +65 Min 314
Amir +65 Min 150

Amir has played 150 minutes in 10 games, and the Pistons have outscored the opposing team by 65 in those 150 minutes.

Pretty impressive.

Even more impressive, Billups and Amir have been on the court together for 55 minutes together over the last 10 games, and in those 55 minutes the team has been dominant outscoring the opposing team by 65 points or 1.2 points per minute.

Amir needs to get 70 blocks this year, and he'll "qualify" to lead the league in Blocks per 48 minutes.

With 44 in hand he'd need to block 26 more shots over the last 27 games. He should be able to get that with no problem as long as he keeps getting 10-15 mpg (which he should have been getting all season).

Yeah, the famous over the top Darko quote. Sadly, it didn't take a woman to destroy Darko.

Yeah, probably his mother. Probably breast-fed him too long or something. I don't know how your father can be para-military and yet have a son so mentally soft.
Rip Hamilton is a stain on the Pistons franchise.

I know how. Instead of buying the family a car, they got a cow so Darko could grow up strong. Now that's spoiled.
