    Just goes to show that you never know when big men will put it all together. Coming out of college that guy could block shots and that was it. Kind of a Jarvis Varnado type. Those guys used to be hot commodities in the draft. After so many have fizzled out of the league, that trend has kind of went away.

    I see Kevin Love is back to putting up big stats on a shitty team

    I love it, when they were winning and Lebron was playing no monster games really for Love but when Lebron sits Love puts up Moses Malone type stats.

    He had a few good games in a row before playing well against us, and I think we'll see good things from him for the rest of the season.

    I usually hate guys who say "I knew 5 years ago that guy would be good," but I remember hyping him going into the 2010 draft. I thought he drew a short stick being drafted by the Kings, but I'm glad he's finally in a place where he'll have a chance to flourish.

    We beat anyone in a 7-game series, including Memphis.

    Did they really? Here's a very interesting blog discussing Jeff Green to Memphis. Among other comments, this guy makes the point that Green is a poor-man's Rudy Gay. Since they've already had Rudy Gay, is adding a lesser version going to make them better?

    My guess is that he won't have the ego that Gay has/had, and will better understand where he is in the pecking order - a complimentary player rather than a ball-dominant player.

    This guy's 53rd point sums up his analysis pretty well.

    I feel better.

    Jeff Green will be a perfect fit in Memphis.

    Yes. But I hope he starts and Lee gets pissed because I would love to have Courtney Lee, snowballs chance though. Then again if he doesn't want to come off the bench there...

    Thought Dame woulda landed POW this week, but Klay had slightly better numbers.

    Dame put up 26.3 ppg, 5 apg, 3.5 rpg, on 48% FG, 38% 3pt, and 83% FT in a 4-0 week

    Coincidence that they are coached by the Spurs Assistant? Me thinks not.
