@BreakingNews: Chicago Bulls PG Derrick Rose has torn ACL and MCL in left knee, will miss remainder of playoffs -

Kobe needing 38 points tonight to take the scoring title made me think of this: George Gervin vs. David Thompson The closest scoring race came when Gervin (27.22) edged Thompson (27.15). Of course, it came down to the final day -- April 9, 1978. Gervin took a slim lead into their finales, with Thomp...

Agreed Sim. I saw a lot of mock boards that don't even have him in the 2nd round. I would gamble a 2nd round pick on a guy that plays hard any day of the week. Perhaps Colangelo can use one of our two 2nd rounders on him. I think after interviews and workouts he ends up going late teens, early 20s....

I think he's going to be a Shane Battier type. Lockdown defender at the 3, capable of checking smaller/stretch 4s. Maybe even being able to guard some bigger 2s (if rumors about him losing weight are accurate). Probably won't have quite the 3pt shot of Shane, but he scored very efficiently, rebounde...

I think Sullinger is going to be OK. He's not exciting, but he has a lot of skills that transfer well to the NBA. I think he'll be a much better pro than guys like Barnes, Perry Jones or Austin Rivers. My pick for this year's Kenneth Faried (the underestimated guy that 20+ teams kick themselves for ...

Here is Ron-Ron of last year... There is no change in him.

You can tell its him in the picture:

looks like he trimmed down, his face was pudgier the last time he was clean shaven He did play this year about 20 pounds lighter than in the past by getting into really good shape for the first time in his life. And he had jaw surgery in the offseason and I don't think we've seen him w/o a beard si...

From the AP: Love is also sporting a new look, having shaved the scraggly beard he’s been growing all season. Coach Rick Adelman jokes that the All-Star power forward looks “about 12 years old.” Love says his estimate is closer to 18. ---------- I didn't even recognize him.... https://p.twimg.com/Ar...

Report: Dwight Howard Won't Play For Van Gundy Magic center Dwight Howard has called team owner Rich DeVos to tell him that he won't play for coach Stan Van Gundy anymore, WKMG in Orlando is reporting. Howard missed his sixth straight game with a back injury Wednesday against the Celtics, and Van Gu...

I think he's going to make FAR too much money and doesn't do enough of the things that help you win. I think he can make for a pretty boxscore (provided you gloss over rebounds), but he's empty stats IMO.

I was just asking a question. To me future pics = 2nd round pics. Like the player to be named later. Plus it seems that the newest thing to do with future 1st round picks is lottery protect them for a few years and then they turn into 2nd round picks. You aren't seeing anymore of the shit like Minn...

Honestly, I'd say be inclined to turn down the NJ deal if I was ORL - even if it meant Dwight walking. Overpaying for Brook Lopez is a really bad idea - potentially crippling. Brook isn't just "not as good as Bynum", he's actually a pretty bad basketball player that has gotten worse every ...

Tuesday, April 3, 2012 Sources: Lakers fine Andrew Bynum By Dave McMenamin ESPNLosAngeles.com EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum might not have attempted any more 3-pointers after being benched last week, but his team's disciplinary actions against him didn't end there. Byn...

The thing I "love" about Love.... he puts up those gaudy numbers but he doesn't seem to need the ball nearly as long as the other superstars to do something similar. He's a blue collar guy with skill. Yeah. He's definitely not a ball stopper on offense. His post and midrange games are sta...

Love became the first player in the 3 point era to lead the league in total points, total rebounds and made 3s for a single month.

He finished 37 points, 13 rebounds and 4 3s ahead of anyone else.

The Hornets have our pick. The only way we get a 1st rounder is if Utah makes the Playoffs.

Bklyn wrote:What's their record these last 4?

2-2 (with a 3OT loss to OKC).

Losing Rubio and Pekovic has absolutely killed us. They're by far the 2nd and 3rd best players on the team and the only other legit starting players we have.
