    Exactly. I'd rather a guy get 10 and 10 and make their free throws than a guy go 20 and 10 but had missed 6 free throws. Especially in this offense where we have so many people that can get points.

    Whoa there. If the guy is getting 20+, then I complain a little less. Jordan isn't getting 20 ppg. Shaq was a bad free throw shooter but I would take prime Shaq on our team. But Jordan? He doesn't do enough to make it worth it. I'd rather have RoLo.

    Regarding the NBA age limit...

    If they raise it to 20 or 21, I could see a league of sorts (maybe 5 teams?) popping up to pay these guys instead of going to college. All the top prospects. Right now a few of them go to China or Europe to get paid, why not just do that here?

    And mcgrady was a golden god, injuries really sidetracked him. Check the stats.

    Barton led the Nuggets in minutes in a win over the Hawks. Had a great stat line too. I'm really happy for him. He's getting the chance he's worked for.

    It's a near perfect situation for him regarding playing style and time. It should be enough to cement him into thus league and hopefully in the future he can make his way to a winning team.

    Actually, our backup stretch 4 Meyers Leonard had 8 points on 3-4 FG and 3 rebounds in 8 minutes in a win over the 3rd seed in the West.

    That's much more efficient that TRob's 7 points on 3-10 FG and 1-4 FT in 17 minutes in a loss.

    But, it's great to see our former end of bench guys putting up great numbers on crappy teams. Maybe TRob will impress someone enough to get picked up by his 5th team in 4 years this summer.

    Interesting. Two of the games yesterday already have reports of the officials' work last night (that at least ended within 5 points or were within 5 points at some point in the last 2 minutes). But not Houston/Portland.

    They must have a mountain of evidence to go through.

    Silver ate the report because he was embarrassed.
