Florida contained Jimmer and shut the rest of the team down. And Parsons is one heck of a player. Should be a good game between Florida and Butler. With guards, after tonight I still have Jimmer and Kemba at one and two. At the forward spots, Derrick Williams really impressed me, but...

Singler played great. Duke didn't go inside enough. The Plumlee brothers are great. Kyrie got his and Nolan Smith disappeared. However, Derrick Williams was ON FIRE. 25 in the first half, then his teammates stepped up in the second half. Singler played great but he got in foul trouble. He...

Jimmer is slated to go 10th, but I think he should go higher especially if he is closer to 6'2 than 6'0. His shot is there, he can really score and he looks strong for a point guard so he should have the ability to finish shots in the NBA and get deep into the lane. If a team needs outside...

Colonel Reb, Very true. Way too many marginal black players at best. The vast majority of which cannot shoot. Duke yields white friendly teams year in and year out and wins. Recent mid-majors such as Gonzaga have had success with "less talented" players. Lots of Cinderella teams are...

Jack, another problem is that many thug types play in place of more deserving white players. Lots of athletic whites are making a difference in the tournament but they are not on the national radar. U of Michigan played a great game against Duke mainly because of their white players...

kyrie Erving is ok, not great. Like the poster pointed out above, he is mostly flash and he doesn't fit in. They need to pound it inside to win. Get Singler involved more. Great game with Michigan but Duke won when Hardaway Jr. took some bad shots and they went away from their white...

I think that 71 double doubles in a season record is still in play. That would be impressive too. It takes young teams a few years, so next year will be important for the T Wolves. As I posted already I am keeping a look out for Love's 3 point total for this year. Larry Bird's high in a...

Kevin Love can now start a new double double streak grabbing 11 rebounds to go along with 22 in a loss. Unfortunately the Wolves aren't winning. Hopefully they will gel better next year. While some think Jimmer Fredette is a better fit with an uptempo team, I disagree and think a team...

I watched it. The first year they were a 6 seed and ETSU upset a higher seed so Michigan could make a run. Then they lost to Duke in the championship. Duke won it's second in a row with two all-time great college players with Laettner and Hurley along with Grant Hill (NBA all star). Michigan...

52. What a player!

I love up-tempo offense and pressure defense. Some say it is ghetto street ball but for smart players speeding up the game on both sides is the way to go. Think about it, usually underdogs want to slow down the game to keep the score close as well as to minimize mistakes (turnovers, fouls)...

With lunchpail hops, Jacob Tucker has a scrappy vertical. Hopefully the Powers That Be will allow him to participate in a Layup Contest somewhere. Perhaps he can do a reverse scoop shot from under the backboard or even a 360 finger roll! lol

Well, he just passed Moses Malone for the best streak since the merger. As far as Larry Bird goes, Kevin Love has 85 threes on the year so far. Larry Bird's CAREER HIGH was 98. This year Kevin Love is shooting 42.7% on threes. Larry Bird's career high for 3 point percentage? 42.7%

On the NBA thread I wondered who was the last white player to rebound like this. Well, Swen Nater averaged 15 rebounds a game in 1978-1979. Dave Cowens averaged 16 rebounds a game in 1975-1976. He also had some great rebounding years before that. Dan Issel had some good rebounding years in...

And the Spurs, Celtics, and Mavericks are three of the favorites to win the championship. Along with, of course, the Lakers who have Pau Gasol, Steve Blake, and Luke Walton. Not as white as they used to be but they still have a white all-star and a backup white point guard. I didn't know...

Wow, sounds like Russell was a total jackass. Red Aurbach put all those teams together and maybe he could have found another guy who did what Russell did. The best comment is the difference to white and black basketball according to Darryl Dawkins. However, Russell relied on length...

Love is averaging over 15 rebounds a game. If he plays out the rest of the year he should have the most rebounds for a white player in decades. David Lee got 13 a game last year, and Bill Laimbeer got 13 a game one year. Can't think of anyone else. Maybe Dave Cowens back in the late Seventies.

Love also hit 3 three pointers.

Nuggets are a very deep team now with lots of exciting players. Plus Gallo should thrive if he gets the playing time. Anderson and Mozgov will play upfront along with Nene and Kenyon Martin. Gallo can hit threes and drive. They should play a fast pace and could give other teams trouble...

Nbadraft.net had a good link to a YouTube video of Jan Vesely doing some nice dunks. There are lots of good dunkers out there. Some white, some average street ballers. Another point on the Blake Griffin "car dunk." I realized today that it was basically Tom Chambers famous dunk where he...

Dunk contest: Serge Ibaka had a truely legit free throw line dunk. Shoulda gotten all 10's, instead he got all 9's. DeRozan's second dunks was fantastic and his first dunk was creative and very, very solid. Alas, neither made the final round. Javale McGhee had some great dunks, contorting...

Morrison got hurt, got benched, and never got his confidence.Some of it was out of his control, like getting drafted by a really sh*tty franchise. I wish he would have gone to a better team. He was kind of a tweener in that he wasn't a pure scorer or a pure shooter (like Reddick or Korver). A...

Coach Cal has always been that way. But he doesn't have a Marcus Camby, Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, John Wall, or a DeMarcus Cousins. That's the difference. He needs TOP talent to win. Even then, he still hasn't won a championship.

Sidney is a fatty but so is Jared Sullinger. It's just that Sidney has a VERY fat face. lol If Glenn Davis is Big Baby then Sidney should be Baby Face or something. Actually, Seth Davis called Renardo Sidney "fat" in his discussion of many NBA prospects. He compares Jimmer to Mark...

Sloan should coach in college. He would be a God. He could also recruit the players he wanted.
