if two guards grow on trees we've been picking from some pretty shitty trees the last 6 years

there are not that many truly great 2 guards in the league. It's tough to find one that can score and defend.

much easier to find a 2 than a PG or quality big guy.

seems like there are a ton of great PG's right now, and a handfull of 2's. i agree about the quality big man. very few of those to go around.

I was always a chris jent fan

that was the guy that broke his neck? right?

no clue. I just remember him drilling shots when OSU made a run in the NCAAs with Jimmy Jackson

EDIT: it really is amazing how much more clearly you remember games when you bet on them. watching those games feels like yesterday. that was back when the Fixer was laid up with a back injury that derailed his high school hoops career and began his career as a professional gambler

Jay Burson was the guy i was thinking of. He broke his neck in a game agaist iowa. later on they should him wearing a head brace that looked like it bolted to his head and shoulders. he ended up playing a few preseason games for houston before playing for a short bit in teh cba.

any of you guys know if iggy is playing tonite? ... should i sit or bench him for korver?

I said favors or cousins. cousins obviously comes with some baggage.

green has been around forever (way before AI left) and he was a 2nd round pick. williams was a 2nd round pick as well. carney was more of a 3 than a 2.

green sucked, but that is a solid pick. any time you get production out of a guy in round 2 it's a win. I don't mind lou williams...quality 6th man

Demarcus Cousins is a nut job and no way makes it through 82 games or has a long career.

Derrick Favors is going to be a stud. Would have much preferred Favors or Wesley Johnson with the #2 (although not sure how Johnson has done in pre-season). Turner is gonna suck. All reports I've heard is that he can't play - kind of scary to hear the negative views I've heard so far from a guy who hasn't played a regular season game.

Anyone believe Comcast would line-up if contraction comes to fruition and David Stern offers buyouts to teams to contract. I can totally see Comcast taking the money and running - especially after this team averages about 7,000 fans a game this year. Going to be ugly season.

no way the NBA subtracts a team in philly. they suck now, but he 76ers are one of the 5 most storied franchises in the NBA.

he's starting. jason kapono is starting as well. what a joke

thanks ...

kapono is not a bad player ... he's got a high basketball IQ ... he's just limited athletically ... but i suspect they need a knockdown shooter ... miami will basically have to put arroyo on him all night and i think he can get his shot off over arroyo ... otherwise holiday will make mince meat out of carlos ...

kapono can shoot, that's about it. he is a comlpete liability on the defensive end. anything is better than willie green though

gonna be a long year

if the nba contracts, and i highly doubt it, you are looking at memphis, toronto, charlotte, new orleans maybe ok, but they just moved.

However, i would like to see the clippers go.

good list. I don't know how atlanta keeps any of their teams. they don't draw in any sport

Not a bad showing so far. If they lose this game by 8, then I'll take that as a moral victory.
