    How long do you think CJ Miles and Zaza Pachulia last on that top 10 list?

    Weird to see Wes Matthews and Aldridge have pretty much the same PER.

    And mine. It's painful considering he's exactly what we need. Sure hope CJ can live up to his billing.

    That is what "journalism" has come to. There simply is not time to do actual research. Milliseconds matter. Facts are disposable.

    Yeah. Still though, I mean a lightbulb should have went off... if you're in the basketball biz you probably covered the draft and heard at least a few of the names, and then at least heard one of those names playing.

    It's become lazy under the guise of immediacy. And that's so unfortunate.

    Heat lose to the lowly Celtics.

    Brad Stevens has got himself a 3 game winning streak.

    Mick,did you see the shot? Boston was down 2 with 0.6 secs left. Green hit at the buzzer.

    Also- MCW happened again tonight. They lost, but he hit big shots and made big plays. Check out the box score, folks.

    That Miami game was hilarious. Wade with the choke and mental fuck up.

    So how long until Brooklyn freaks out? This is a team that was supposed to challenge the Heat in the east.

    Also, all the people who were freaking out about the loss to Phoenix, they're 4-2 right now.

    Who's the first coach fired? I think Brian Shaw and Kevin McHale's names have to be considered.

    Would that be the boxscore that shows the guy he was guarding scored 39 points?

    I kid. Good for Philly. Although, given that they wanted to tank, bad for Philly.

    I think Denver is going to tank, along with Utah and Sac. McHale might get the heave-ho though. Kidd certainly isn't impressing anyone. Not sure why they hired him without any coaching experience at all to lead a team that was built to win a championship this season. That's just a horrible decision on their part.

    I'm wondering if we could poach some talent. I would love to see if we could steal Miller from Denver. I think we need an actual backup point guard because I'm not impressed with Mo Williams at all. I think once CJ comes back, Mo will become entirely unnecessary.

    I agree with you, but it is funny that neither one of his current Twin Towers has any post game at all.

    Mo will come around. A lot of his game is based on timing. I think by mid season, he will be extremely valuable.

    The problem with Mo isn't just that he's missing shots, Dam went 1/15 last night. The problem is he stands around dribbling the ball like Damon Stoudamire for half the shot clock outside the 3 point line then jacks up terrible shots. Lillard comes down and sets up the offense without any delay. Mo doesn't like to pass the ball. We have tons of scorers on the floor at all times we need a PG who is unselfish and willing to get the whole team involved. We don't need one on one players and thats what Mo is looking to do as a first and second option every time down the floor.

    I'd love to trade Mo for Andre Miller. I'd even consider giving Watson minutes over Mo.

    If there is a deal that nets us a distributing PG, I'm all for it. But I still believe Mo and his volume scoring is needed from the bench. Our bench needs to score, regardless of how many points our starters can give us. We need to get on track so the starters aren't logging 38 minutes a game.

    Mo is just fine for our bench.
