    Your crazy but I cant blame you. Rose is so damn good and fun to watch, I hope he comes back like AP did.

    Rose had no baggage like LeBron. LeBron took teams to the finals but failed to be great when he needed to be clutch. Rose proved to be clutch every chance he got. He could not handle being triple teamed by the Heat in the ECF though.

    Best thing for me tonight: seeing LMA actually blocking out and going after rebounds. Gotta love that.

    The home grown star has more appeal and is a better story but how I look at it is that Lebron does have baggage but he was also the best player in the game in 2010 and still is.

    Yeah he did look more active on the boards. I also thought the bench looked better. Jeffries, Pavlovic and Price all had their moments. Price with a +18 while on the floor.

    I may be crazy, but I liked Barton too, even though he was out of control.

    It's kind of like a wild relief ptcher: you don't know what he's gonna do but it can shake up the other team. Maybe when Barton gets a bit more control he can really be a bench factor.

    I remember LeBron beating Rose in the playoffs multiple times (with the Cavs and Bulls)

    I also remember LeBron guarding Rose and making like hell for him. Rose shot a very poor % that series.

    Yeah he was out of control but I agree they need to keep throwing him out there. He is very active and it will pay off if Wesley ever misses a game.

    Barton kind of reminds me of Jamal Crawford

    He's a 6th man if I ever seen one. He has that instant offense ability to him. Now he just needs to hone it a little bit and develop it.

    It is interesting to me how well the "throw ins" have turned out to be. Now don't think I am over hyping them, but Both Jeffries and Pavlovic are solid players off the bench. Neither shoots much but they do bring a toughness to their position. We kind of questioned if they had lost a step because the have not played much the last few years. But they are moving pretty well. To have them thrown in PLUS Lillard make be feel like we are the Lakers.

    Now we just need to find that scorer who can play with them. I thought it would be Elliot.....

    Were they both for Wallace? or did anything come from NY for Felton?

    i liked that lillard had 2 long rests instead of 4 short ones. i think it helped price get going a little bit.

    Jeffries did come from the NY deal for Felton. But Pavlovic came from the trade with Boston, where we helped them sign Courtney Lee.
