    Then explain why Paul Allen came out after that draft and said KP was responsible for the trades. People have posted links saying as much.

    As much as it might kill you to believe, KP was responsible for that draft. Sorry if that hurts.

    On a contending team, Landry was a very good defender and a decent rebounder. It was when he was given a larger role on a poor team that he became a one-dimensional scorer. In our lineup, alongside LA, he could return to the productive role-player he was two years ago.

    He traded for Brandon Roy, who was the Rookie of the Year, and LMA, a future All-Star, when Paul Allen let him run a draft.

    Cho so far has traded 14 PER player who had a 15 PER playoff for nothing of value this year.

    I've never had a problem with his draft day trades, but trading for a draft pick isn't quite what we're talking about here.

    Fair enough. The truth is that KP's roster, yet again decimated by injury, along with Nate's coaching, is still deep enough to be the 5th seed after 50-some games this season in a very deep Western Conference. I don't see why the guy still gets bashed for constructing a decent and deep roster. Cho has really done nothing but ride KP's coattails so far, but I don't blame him for it.

    KLove goes for 20/17 in yet another loss.

    Jon Brockman gets a career-high 14 rebounds in the win.

    Spurs/Thunder in a tight one. If Thunder lose and we win, we're only 3.5 games out of the division lead and the 4 seed. Amazing, right?

    If we beat the Lakers and Thunder lose they will be tied in the loss column.

    If cows could fly, we wouldn't need airplanes.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Because we'd ride intercontinental cows? Unless this flight were powered by magic, it'd surprise me if cows had the energy for that. In addition, I'm not entirely sure people could really take a flight over an ocean, through storms, on the back of a cow.

    But I do like the new turn of phrase.

    The Bulls don't look like no chopped liver in the East.

    Big Baby Davis cracks me up. He's always flopping around like a fish out of water. I look at him and I think, Bitch Tits.

    Why do you have such low self-esteem? Was it not graduating from college? Or, even not even attending college?

    Anyhow, I'm glad that you're you. Just another character on S2, and a fan of the red and blue.

    Watching 24 Hours With on NBATV, it's Kevin Love in the spotlight. I really like what I see from Love, but did anybody notice that in the huddle after the game in the lockerroom where the TWovles actually won a game, Mike Beasley wasn't dressed for the game, and on the "We Won" break by Rambis, that Beaze just stood there chomping his gum? I noticed it.

    Denver is playing some fantastic team ball. This is reminiscent of our win vs. SAS.

    Denver 2-0 since trading Melo

    They're playing like a team and like they have something to prove.
