In case anyone is wondering, the draft pick Draper here was advocating go to Biyombo was what landed Golden State their current second best player, Klay Thompson.

Lorenzen Wright. Now that was a guy.

I’m a huge fan of Jack Armstrong on these broadcasts. He’s actually been doing an excellent job of asking this same question with great subtlety and restraint. Last night, I lost count of how many times he gently pointed out that it was a mistake going to small ball to match the Heat in the 4q and OT.

Why is a blog directing me to it’s facebook page for content?

Eh...Wade can always fire back at that bandwagoner with “you used to call me on my cell phone”

I think it’s dumb they play them...but they do, and you shouldn’t be acting like a tool while it’s going on.

‘O Canada’, Guard Won’t Stand On Thee

I just wanna see the scouting notes on JaMarcus Russell. REAL BAD, SLOW DELIVERY, CONDITIONING A CONCERN, BUT CAN THROW TO THE MOON. LET’S GIVE HIM SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS

I’ve said it before and it begs repeating- it is possible that good teams, particularly good defensive teams, can make other good teams look bad. The #2 and #3 seeds in the East have produced two games that while ugly, have been tough affairs- the #2 and #3 seeds in the West have produced an embarrassing blowout and…

One of the early descriptions of JV’s game from the lead-up to the 2011 draft that stuck with me, said in a very complimentary tone (paraphrasing): “he has good elbows”.

I’ve felt bad for players who hiccup in big moments. I’ve felt bad for players who had awful games. But I don’t think anyone has, over the course of an entire playoffs (so far) made me feel as sad as Lowry is making me feel right now. Dude. Duuuuuuuuude. Are you getting enough hugs?

You’re part of the problem. No one should watch shit like this.

The refs almost never give that as a shooting foul. I’ve never seen it, though I know it’s happened, and i watch a lot of basketball.

Hey! I don’t have kids.

Standing over the toilet? What, does it ooze out like ketchup for some people? You’re gonna get it all over the wall.

What’s better, make him a felon and throw him in jail for a few years, have him come out and most likely be unable to find a reasonable job? Then we’ll complain he and other low-earners are hurting the economy. Seems like we can stop this cycle by forgiving 17 year olds who made a very idiotic—that ultimately would be…

69 counts of indecent exposure? Nice.

Because this is the NBA, there must be a third step.

Isn’t he on a 1-year deal? He was an absolute steal this year, and I hope he gets another chance to contribute somewhere (Clippers?).
