Race cars always look better at night. This may be the reason why the four-letter network decided to get silly and air the commercial (like a dozen times!) for this IndyCar race during this week’s heavily viewed NBA Draft. Stats be damned hes due! Given the benefit of having additional rookie practice laps this [...]

Do Brian Butchs solid college accomplishments elevate him over an NBA journeyman/flameout who never played college ball, even though Butch is unlikely to make an NBA roster? Another one of those guys who needs no explanation, Paul played two years at Wake Forest and was the 2003-4 ACC Freshman of the year before becoming a [...]

A couple picks higher than most mock drafts had DJ going so congrats to him on being selected and the big contract thats going to be coming his way. Charlotte was not expected to select a point guard, they currently have PG Raymond Felton starting who they drafted just three years ago in the top [...]

These words not only came from my heart but they were empathic emotions intended for those who are broken, deterred from truth, hopeless, and looking for the light. Yeah that is good though.i’m trying to hang in there also.life has been extremely hard on me and my mom.with my dad.and guy trouble like always.i’m trying [...]

It gives credence to the adage that the longer a player stays in college, the further down the NBA Draft he slides. You cant buy happiness, and if Hansbrough is happy in Chapel Hill playing ACC basketball and having a big senior year and enjoying college life and graduating on time, then thats reason enough [...]

I swear this guy makes one good pick in the draft and backs it up with a year or two of God awful picks. We needed a big guy in the post and apparently got him in White. Then we traded him for Walter Sharpe we according to Chad Ford is a second round to [...]

He has incredible ball handling skills and point guards tend to have safer success rates from NBA drafts. Don’t get me wrong, he was awesome at UCLA, but he didn’t seem like he had quite the athleticism to play in the NBA. I expect Charlotte not only to be good, but to make the NBA [...]

Certainly they go back and visit their hometown, but you dont have to play where you live. If Carlos Boozer was looking for nightlife and bigger-market atmosphere, he wouldnt have chosen Utah as his second team. Some say that Carlos Boozer has already backstabbed one team, so its likely that hell do it again. In [...]

With Lopez and Anderson, the Netstook two big menwho combined for40 and 20 last season.Theyre the youngest Nets in 25 years. Supposedly we traded RJ because he was no longer a stud on Dthis guy cant play D at all.great. I think with this pick its obvious that the Nets will trade away a lot [...]

I am putting my faith in this veteran who seemed to know what he was talking about. There will be a riot. There will be a backlash. You can guarantee that. I guess we have to have faith that it will only be for the good. But still. To trade away the only basketball player [...]

I think the flopping is the single worst thing that has happened to the game in the last 20 years. My two cents on the Bulls, if they dont choose the best available player in the draft (Beasley), then Paxson should be disowned from the organization. For some reason he made teams think undersized 2 [...]

Most of you seem set on Mayo, but what are your thoughts on Bayless? Bayless is more of a ball handler, and has elite scoring ability like Mayo. As an Arizona fan living in the twin cities, I would love to see Bayless suit up in Minny. What are your (the fans) thoughts on Bayless? [...]

With Shaquille O’Neal gone, the Heat may look to go big but there is no big man worthy of taking that high. The entire roster is expendable aside from Wade and if they don’t land a top 3 pick they just might trade it. Seattle Supersonics (19.9% chance of winning lottery)- They hit the jackpot [...]

I’m not gonna lie and say Villanova will be better off without him, but Evans could have caused some chemistry issues if he joined the Wildcats. The kid has a huge ego and may have been more worried about his stats and his NBA draft stock than winning games and playing team ball. Nova will [...]

He averaged 29 points - 8 rebounds - 6 assists - 4 steals during his final season of high school ball. Rivals.com ranks Evans as the #6 best player in the nation coming out of high school this year. Evans had narrowed his choices to Texas, Villanova, and Memphis. Many experts believe Evans was awaiting [...]
