    Usually injuries are bad for one team, good for the other...Joey Crawford injured his knee during the Mavs clippers game. Everybody wins?

    Hope he gets well though.

    I was at the RG for the draft party, sitting behind someone wearing a Hornets cap. He was pissed that they drafted rivers and I was sharing my condolences with him. Ultimately he couldnt be too upset because they got AD with the #1.

    RoyToy still thinks Rivers will be better than Lillard. Or so he said so about a month ago.

    There was this one guy who insisted Marquis Teague would be better than Lillard. Is he even still in the NBA anymore?

    You know, for a crappy underachieving program, UW can send some guards to the Association. Roy/Wroten/Q-Pon/Thomas/Ross/Krypto-Nate....Will Conroy should've been better.

    Williams-Goss will be the next. Romar is a great recruiter. But thats where it ends. He's a horrible in game coach. Same goes for Ernie Kent. Same could be said for Calipari as well. He's lost a lot of big games on coaching error.

    Am I the only one that thinks The Clippers targeting Austin Rivers is hilarious? Are the Clippers giving up on contending? Can you tell me that the desire to get rivers has nothing to do with his dad being the coach?

    Against Houston. That's great for us no matter who wins.

    Miami develops players and let's them play to their strengths. Sacramento doesn't have a great track record there.

    Miami will be back in a couple seasons I bet after a couple good drafts and signings.

    I was one. I ( like the others) wanted Rivers at #11. (No one wanted him at 6th) But he was gone and we got Leonard.

    I am sure glad he didn't fall a spot then! Doubt we would pick two (somewhat) similar Guards in the same draft anyways.

    I'll admit I wanted rivers. After he hit that game winning 3 over unc I was convinced he was the next Roy lol

    I still think be can be a good player though, he'll carve out a role and be a journeyman, like Bayless did.

    Rivers and Bayless are fine as 28-29 picks but not as 10-13 picks.

    I just wanted a a SG. Lamb was the only other option and I would have taken him too instead of a center. (Unless Drummond fell)
    I still see falsies from Rivers that makes me believe he can make it. Still young
