Shockers in the NBA

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

That is all.

Half the megaposters on this board posted retarded stuff about being sick of Malcolm Armstead last season during the slump. Dredging up those comments in callout fashion against a poster is silly, everyone here is a huge WSU fan and we all wish our alums the best. I don't remember anyone attacking Toure as a person- it was more like voicing frustration with some end of game or end of shotclock situations late in his career. He also received lavish praise as an underclassmen for his heroics in similar situations.

Toure has one more preseason game to completely lock this spot up. It is tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden, and Coach Woodson said he wants to use it as a dress rehearsal for the season opener. Here's hoping TM continues to impress like he's done all summer and fall- nobody deserves a roster spot more than him based on the merits.

Thank you. I never hated Toure. He was a Shocker so I was always rooting for him and hoping he'd do well. And still do. But I guess on here, it's a sin to call out negatives when a player has bad games. Because we can only sunshine-pump here, otherwise you're not a real "fan" and just a big meanie.

It's obvious the two posters prior to your post have never taken criticism well in their lives. They probably make a living out of being summer camp counselors.

Good news, it seems:

Paul Suellentrop @PaulS:uellentrop
Sounds like good news for Toure Murry. He is telling people he made the Knicks roster.

[MadaboutWu]

Woot! That is awesome.

[Kung Wu]

Right on!

Frank Isola seems to think the final three roster spots are going to Murry, Chris Smith (gag!), and Jeremy Tyler.

Can't believe Chris Smith got kept....

[RoyalShock]

It's official, with a nice pic of Toure!

Surprised Cole Aldrich made it.

Oct. 25: President & GM Steve Mills announced that the NY Knicks have waived Diogu, Leslie, Powell, Tyler & Douglas-Roberts.

2. I'm happy to see Murry and Aldrich aboard. Murry seems like too promising a talent to pass up and Aldrich showed off good rebounding and footwork in preseason. No hands, but pretty good feet and quite a lot of height. I liked Ike Diogu better, but I think Aldrich provides good depth up front. He, unfortunately, is the only depth the Knicks added up front.

Beyond awesome.

Looks like Murry was the only guy that earned his way onto the team with hard work and on-court results.

Congratulations to Murry!

The first of many to come. He may be a suit and tie player, but considering injuries, I'm sure he'll get some run.

Funny comment down in @RoyalShock:'s link:

ok, at least the Aldrich signing makes sense.

Actually, it all makes sense now.

Murry because they think he’ll be good.

Aldrich because Tyler still is injured and just beginning rehab.

Lil’ Smith to carry JR’s weed and keep him from getting pulled over and locked up hours before Game 1 of the Finals.

Might actually start watching some NBA games now.

Got turned on to the NBA in the late 60s and early 70s when a couple of other Shox played for them (Stallworth and Bowman). They were my favorite team until I stopped caring about the NBA; especially after AC, Cliff and X were gone...

Couldn't be happier for Toure :good:
