    It's been a while since we did that. Al looked good as did Love.

    Next two games are Memphis and Oklahoma City. Do I smell 4 in a row??

    I could care less if you guys beat us next. All it does is get us closer to Blake Griffin. :D

    Harden is a beast....but we needa true center badly. One who can block shots and intimidate...so we constantly don't have small fries like Tony Parker tking it to the hole on us without fear an killing us inside

    There's no way in hell we go after a big man. They're definitely going to go with the approach that Love-Al is going to be their combo for the future, and drafting a big just wouldn't make sense if they're going with that philosophy.

    Harden reminds me a little of Mayo, which could be great if he lands to us. It could also mean he's too good and we have to trade him, but Harden is my guy at this point. The key thing is it's still very early in the season. Draft stock is going to be way different come draft night then it is right now. Rudy Gay was the projected #1 pick for a good part of the 2006 season, and ended up going 8th.

    What up tim? Normally we agree on just about everything...but we'll be bumping heads on this one...lol. I can't honestly say a C/PF combo of Big Al and Love doesn't scare the bejesus outta me...they just don't have the interios presence to stop people from scoring down low...like I stated before....when lil men like Parker are driving at will and carving us up...they don't respect the D inside...we need someone to put a halt to that.

    Don't get me wrong, but I'd still like a PG as well. I'd take a chance Brandon Jennings if he somehow falls to us with Miami's pick. But if Rubio decideds to buy out the last year of his deal and opts for the draft....I would strongly consider him with our top pick.

    Although Harden would be great if we could turn Miller and Collins into a center like Kaman and cash maybe

    I do agree with you man, it's just that there is no way in hell that Hoiberg/Stack does it, because of the fact that they still believe in the Love/Al combo, it would not look good for them to give up on that right away. I too believe that we need someone down low that can defend the paint, someone like Thabeet or maybe even Monroe (who I'm in love with right now).

    All I'm saying is I do not believe that the FO will be up for getting another big man.

    yeah, I like Monroe's game to...he's sick...and makes it look easy.

    But you do make a good point and with Big Al blocking shots with more ease...it might just work...I just with McHale would just let Love start already. But we do need to work a trade for a PG like Adrea Miller from Philly someone who can contribute and run our offense, so we can move Foye to a more natural SG postion.
