RE:Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
Devin's game is tailor made for this type of event...cross over dribbles, hesitation moves and of course the sudden explosion for a dunk when the crowd least expects it.
Hopefully the league tightens up the play this year as last years rookie game was unwatchable in the 2nd half.

RE: Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
I was so sick of the last rookie challenge game, I turned the TV off in the half-time. I hope Devin and Josh will give me my money's worth this time and make the game atleast a little more entertaining.

RE:Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
I loved the game cuz i guess i'm an idiot but i predict Devin getting his stuff tossed by Howard than Harris coming back and Dunkin' on his teamate. sucks for Quis cuz he could've made it to.

RE:Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
Yea I also liked last years game. I hope it's going to be better this year but still I enjoyed watching Lebron play. It was fun watching one of the Mavs rookies in a rookie challenge.

RE: Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
I'm not asking them to be the 1990 Pistons, but in the 2nd half of last year’s game, they were literally letting guys dunk...just moving out of the way.
...of course I should stop complaining because they could always bring back the old timers game

RE: Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
I was having fun for a little while but after a while all that dunking got old real fast. It turned into some kind of a dunking contest and didn't remotely resemble a game anymore.

RE: Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
Sheesh... no Centers for either team. Just a couple of PFs and the rest are all swingmen & PGs. Not too many good shooters either. I expect this to be another fast-paced, penetrate and dunk fest like last year.
I don't care for the result for oh-so-very-obvious reason. Just hope neither Josh nor Harris get injured. |

RE: Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
I like the rookie game, it is a break from the norm and a chance to see the different levels of athleticsm that the young guys possess.
But, I don't know if Devin Harris really deserved to be in it. Chris Duhon has been wonderful for the Bulls, their record since inserting him into the starting lineup full time has been pretty nice. But, he is better for these types of games, more athleticsm. Devin is a better talent ofcourse, it is not his fault he ended up on a contender that doesn't have the patience (nor should they) to let a rookie PG work through the pains @ 35 mpg. But Duhon has been fantastic for the Bulls.

RE:Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
Nice for them to get to go to the All Star festivities. I imagine it must be such a cool experience for young athletes. But I do hope they do something to make it an actual game as opposed to the dunk contest it was last year.

Congrats to Rookie and J-Ho! If Quis could have fun with the two, it would be perfect. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Quis would've made it if he hadn't got hurt.

RE:Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
Anybody think Devin can pull off a windmill???
He'll be the only Mav on the team that can do it i think. Maybe Mbenga cuz i know he can jump. And we've all seen how high Bradley gets when he takes off.

RE: Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
I think J-Ho could probably windmill, and Stackhouse could still have it in him.

RE: Devin Harris & Josh Howard participate Rookie challenge
they could all do it. In game? Good luck.
Devin said he put it thru his legs in practice once~ at 6'3"!!! That is sick. I would put money on Finley, Howard, Stack, and Devin all being capable of some windmill variation. - Brian |
