The Goat Pen

Last 4 games:

51 and 14
30 and 21
28 and 11
40 and 19

He's at the point that 28/11 is kind of a disappointment...

40 and 19 tonight.

Slacker just couldn't grab that 20th board....

Drew is incredibly immature - and he seems to have real issues with ever admitting to be wrong.

Like when he had his run of brutal flagrant fouls, there was never any remorse. Just a "I guess I need to be careful because the league has it out for me" attitude.

I have less issue with what Bynum did than his explanation: Bynum vowed to continue to "expand his game" by taking shots from beyond the arc. "I guess, 'Don't take 3s' is the message, but I'm going to take another one and I'm going to take some more, so I just hope it's not the same r...

I don't think there is a Spurs thread...

I love Popovitch.

Kahn is such a fuckin' idiot.

Love asked for 5 years. He was happy to commit for the whole thing, but Kahn wouldn't do it. He still has no idea just how good the kid is.

He's averaging 31/14 through 13 games in March.

And he's shot 38-87 on 3s for 44%.

Love follows up his 51 point game with his 7th career 30/20 game.

That makes him the active leader - Duncan and Dwight each have 6, KG has 5.

He also chipped in 4 assists, 2 steals , 3 blocks and 0 turnovers.

Right. They'll have 2 lottery picks as well.

I love what Portland has done.

They have about 25M committed next year now. Meaning they could max out Batum and still have around 20M in cap space to fill in their roster around Batum, LMA and Matthews.

Lakers did VERY well with minimal assets at their disposal.

Got rid of Kapono, Walton and Fisher, added Sessions and Hill.

Minny is more snake bitten than the Raps. The team is finally playing better ball than they have in years and they lose Rubio. Sorry Sim Not just the Wolves. The Vikings best player (Peterson) and the Gophers best player (Mbakwe) both went down with torn ACL's this year too. And the Twins best 2 pl...

Houston's 2012 pick could go to NJ, and NY's 2012 pick should go to Houston: 2012 first round draft pick from New York New York's own 2012 1st round pick to Houston (top 5 protected in 2012, top 5 protected in 2013, top 5 protected in 2014, and top 5 protected in the 2015 Draft). If Houston does not...

We have Memphis' 2013 1st round pick from the HOU deal.

The only way Minny gets a 1st round pick this year (barring a trade) is if Utah makes the playoffs (we have their 1st round pick this year, but its lottery protected).

So the same scenario exists, just replace HOU with Utah.

Ron Artest plays like an old 80 year-old.

He's going to have mid teens before the end of the 1st...

JR Smith is a knucklehead, but we don't have a single real SG on our roster - so he'd be a massive upgrade.

Adelman does have a history of working well with idiots, so maybe it could work...

12 more turnovers makes up a lot of the difference.

6 steals last night for Rubio - including one on the final play of the game to preserve the win. One of the things that has impressed me most about him is his awareness on the defensive end of the court. As much as we talk about his amazing passing, he seems to have the same vision on the defensive ...

We just really need to move Derrick Williams for a better fitting part. Dude has talent, but he's a face-up 4 in the model of David West. Not a good compliment to Love at all.

I still believe we're going to really regret not taking Valanciunas.
