    Toronto has lost two in a row now

    Dallas has
    12 home games left

    17 out of their remaining 25 games vs current playoff teams

    2 of the other games are at Portland and at LAL

    Portland's schedule is pretty tough, but so is Dallas'

    well of course there are. the difference is i am taking a reasoned approach to the odds, while others insist on worse case scenario and finding ways to make that true

    pythagorean expectation says dallas/toronto/detroit should have a better record than the blazers right now and going forward...whether that happens is a "what if"

    I would, but I used to have an "issue" with gambling, so I will look on

    It seems too early to be learning the names of the players in the draft, lol.

    Serious question for those who are more up on college BBall...

    Wouldn't James McAdoo be a name worth considering if we're able to hold onto our lottery pick? While I'm certainly short on details, I know he hasn't lived up to the huge amount of hype surrounding him at UNC, yet a quick look at his stats suggest that he's still putting up good numbers. Scouting reports suggest he's an athletic stretch 4/big 3 (potentially providing some roster and rotation flexibility) who's a good rebounder, shooter and defender. Seems like a guy with huge upside and a very high floor. Possibly a bit of a Claver duplication, but if we're stuck looking at projects or stiffs (as this thread is beginning to suggest), seems like McAdoo might be a very attractive alternative?

    Again, I watch almost zero college ball so please fill me in if I'm missing something!

    It's funny, but both of the games I've been able to watch over here had McAdoo in them. Both times he was nearly unstoppable on offense (even though he was missing a couple of bunnies), but (NC State especially, but FSU also) they went at him early on defense and got him in foul trouble in like 3 minutes. Can't score if you're not on the floor.

    Will that change in the NBA? Dunno.

    I'd look at what draftexpress says, but it looks like someone (Mick?) set up some malware on their site and I don't feel like infecting my computer to find out what Givony thinks.
