That would just be incredible redemption.

The Jazz have an early game in SAC on Sunday, are off Monday, in LA on Tuesday. I wonder if Hayward will jet down to Houston.

I'd definitely take him over Brandon Knight and Fredette right now.
I don't get the NBA draft. Never have. Are you seriously telling me you take some Lithuanian guys over Kemba Walker? Kyle Singler is freakin' low as hell, too. What more can the guy do? I hate the whole idea of there being locks. It's a crapshoot.

these GM's just put too much stock in athleticism and "potential". i actually think the first criteria is legit, because everybody in the NBA is quick, big and has hops - but the second criteria is too much of a crapshoot and the reason why we get all these Darko-over-Melo Wade and Bosh scenarios.

but Kemba is actually a very good athlete. we all saw how he out-quicked the whole floor time and again, and he's able to get his shot off at will in the paint against multiple 6-10+ guys. he has a nice outside shot that he's able to get off over big guys, and we all know about his leadership and passing ability

the last guy i can remember that was around 6 feet and put up similar stats as him in the Big East was Allen Iverson. and AI never led the Hoyas to the Final Four

The first women's final four game between Stanford and Texas A&M had a GREAT finish. What a great game. I didn't tune in until the last six minutes, but I think I saw the best part.

So now which one plays UCONN for the right to get crushed by 40 points, followed by the inevitable Geno Auriema self-righteous spiel on the disregard for women's sport by the media?

Jeez, what a hideous, ugly game here.

70 points, Chuck? Try 50, maybe....

 

[gomestar]

boooooooooooooring.

This is how bad this game is. My company is in the process of being audited, and during the first half the auditor called me, apologizing profusely for bothering me so late, but he had a really important question....and I found myself really in no hurry to get off the phone!!

 

[venessian]

I don't know if I've ever seen such a sloppy, incompetent half of "elite level" basketball. I'm sick of talk of "difficult dome shooting". These teams were both in the same dome 2 days ago and their shooting wasn't this piss-poor.

Oh well, at least there's only one half of Clark Kellogg left in the season....
