The Goat Pen

Well, obviously the season turned to shit not long after my previous post. Mo Cheeks was bad. John Loyer was worse. No trades were made. Dumars is now done. KCP got benched for no real reason and was awful as a reserve. He started last night and put up 30 on OKC. What may have been.... Drummond had ...

Word has it your team is getting rid of Rudy. Heading to Sacto.

Even without Dwayne Wade, winning at last night was their most impressive game of the year. Drummond was in foul trouble for much of the game (Joey Crawford) but still put up 10 points, 18 rebounds, 2 steals and a block in 22 minutes. They play at Milwaukee tonight. The Bucks are bad but it will sti...

Drummond went and had a career-game against the 6ers yesterday. 31 points, 19 rebounds, 6 steals and 2 blocks. He left the game with about 4 minutes to go. Coach Cheeks said he didn't know how close Dre was to a 30/20 game or he might've kept him in. Also of note was the Philly was the first team to...

Nobody has posted here since August?

Times have changed.

Well, 16 games in and the Pistons are behind where I thought they'd be. Last night's loss to the lakes was really embarrassing. They led most of the game and gave it away in the 4th, partially due to Cheeks matching up the lakes smallball line-up instead of going big, where they'd been dominating th...

I saw him with a little jump-hook a couple of times in pre-season. Last night was pretty much all monster dunks. He was on his way to a big night until he got in foul trouble. He finished with 12 and 8. Monroe, looked very good. Check out the footwork! http://abload.de/img/greg-monroekopkq.gif I kno...

I don't doubt that there is overlap, but from Shaq to JJ Reddick? I bet Shaq's dick is bigger than his arm...

Not according to Holly Robinson-Peete.

I hadn't heard of her either. Apparently, the summer is over and so is their relationship. That's okay, it's time for winning. I'm predicting that Andre finishes Top 5 in rebounding. He might even lead the league. I know it's preseason but he's averaged 12.4 boards against NBA teams (as well as 11.9...

I think the path back to contender status hinges on Drummond. If he's more Dwight Howard (in impact, not mental toughness) than Serge Ibaka, he can attract some players down the road. He definitely showed some ability in attracting talent in his pursuit of Jeanette McCurdy.

And there will be a new look for your boys:

Laugh now (and maybe laugh later) but I think, if everything clicks, they can be as high as a 5-seed this year. 6 or 7-seed is probably more realistic.

ol' Bammy is getting tuned up for the new season:

Tankapalooza in laketown!

Wow, rumour that Detroit would trade CV and Stucky (both expiring contracts) for Rudy Gay. Masai would be the masaih if he pulls that off. Instantly good enough to compete for a high draft pick and a really good bet if we could ditch Lowry for a first rounder. We would still have DeRozan, Val, Ross...

After the Josh Smith signing, I'm looking at what lower-seeded playoff teams and non-playoff teams in the East are trending up and down. (As of today) I think Miami, BKN, NYK, Chi & Indy are locks to again be the top 5 seeds, in some sort of order. 6. Atlanta- Trending down. Non-playoff team rig...

Too bad CD isn't around here. The Jazz finally have a player that I really like. I think Trey is going to be a really solid PG. Maybe make 2 or 3 All-Star games.

Philly and Boston look like they are tanking for Wiggins or Parker.
