    Remember when the experts here said when he was at Duke that he didn’t have talent. Just athleticism. Hope he can stay healthy.

    I watched that game. Dude clanked shot after shot in the 4th quarter and they lost in OT.

    I normally wouldn’t care but I had a little cheddar on the Bucks

    A re-evaluation of the CJ trade. Graded Pelicans up because CJ has been a really good leader. Graded Blazers down , I guess because they put thenselves back into the same situation by retaining Simons and signing him to a big contract. Mention that Portland got Grant out of it but don't really seem to reflect it in the grade. Also don't mention that Nance has contributed a lot to Pels.

    I think the Pels are very happy with that trade.

    I think Hakeem got his. Wasn't Clyde 1 number short of a QD?

    Without looking, I believe Hakeem, The Admiral and Alvin Robertson all got their’s within a short period of time. And I believe Zags said Nate Thurmond got one way back as well. Wilt had to have gotten a ton, but they didn’t record blocks and steals back then.

    Still, Compared to 80s and early 90s style that’s just a little nudge.

    Everyone there says they are. I don’t understand anyone thinking differently?

    That place was nasty....but I do remember if you were like me in my 20s and was putting gas in my car with change in the ashtray and returning bottles all the time...Little Caesars was a pretty good deal.

    When I was in high school, there was one inside the KMart near my high school. I might have had a few of their rectangular pan pizzas back in the day.

    Didn't their pizzas used to be all rectangular back in the day?
