That's my understanding. You'll find out when your 40 and need your first prostate exam. J2J's "girlfriend" can attest to this.

why should we believe you, you're not even a Dr. anymore

I've never heard of someone being asked to cough during a prostate exam. I'm just going to assume Krapinsky was raped.

It true, they definitely raped me with the whole coughing part.

I'm just saying you shouldn't get prostate exams from some dude working out of a van.

and when he made him put on the ball-gag that Marsellus Wallace had on in the pawn shop scene in Pulp Fiction - that should've been a dead giveaway

Sorry to be buzz killington, but Monroe and Wes Johnson just got done and neither disappointed.

Johnson had 24-7 and was much more than a 3 point shooter than I have been giving him credit for. He didnt get to the line like I would have liked to see but the guy can score. Had a couple nice defensive plays as well. Real good athlete.

Monroe put up 17/9 with 7 ast, 3 stl and a block. He should've had at least 9 assists but teammates couldnt finish the bunnies. He also had several other defensive plays (strips, deflections, or just general defensive stops) and really got after it. Very efficient, gets to the line well. I just keep falling in love with this guy more and more.

I've always been a Monroe fan. He had a bit of a rough start to the season, glad to see he's been beasting lately.

I tend to think of positions more based on their defensive responsibilities. Players can bring various offensive skills, and of course there are offensive minimums, but offense skills can change. Defensive requirements make the position.

Wes Johnson had a nice game, but the way Monroe played made Johnson winning Big East POY look ridiculous.

He racked up 5 or 6 assists in the first half, carved up the 'Cuse zone without taking a dribble, really fun to watch. Syracuse readjusted their D at the half to try and neutralize Monroe's passing, but all that did was lead to Wright, Freeman and the rest of Georgetown's perimeter guys raining treys on the parade of the Big East regular season champs. Monroe also showed stellar footwork in both the high and low post, and did a good job drawing contact as well. He also controlled the paint on the defensive end, both the Syracuse bigs combined for 7 points. He made it tough for the Orange to enter the ball into the post, coming up with 6 deflected passes by my count, to go with 3 steals and a block. Very quick hands.

Johnson came up with several big defensive plays, including an emphatic rejection of a Monroe floater in the first half. This was far and away the most impressive he's been since Big East play started. He was pretty active on defense, his shot was falling, and he showed a little bit of ballhandling ability (little being the operative word), and played solid team ball. I don't think he's the top 3 pick he was being pimped as early on, but he could be one of the uber glue guy types that shines next to a good PG.

I thought Monroe and Favors looked great today.

Aldrich was fantastic on the boards and solid protecting the paint.

Johnson was good but not really a difference maker. Hard to get excited about such a limited SF.

Watched most of Rubio's game today to watch him and to see Vesely. Vesely looks to have good length but is pretty thin although his frame looks like he could put on some good weight.

I was hoping to see some of the skills and athleticsm that I've read about but he wasn't really involved for the most part. He didn't see the ball much on the offensive end, couldn't hold post position against players several inches shorter then him and I don't think I saw him grab a rebound the entire game, could be wrong. I have no idea if he has a handle because I didn't see him dribble. What I did see was a pretty good feel for the game as he seemed to make the right pass and he has a beautiful jump shot. I mean his form is picture perfect.

He's an interesting prospect. I wish I would have seen his athleticsm and handle because if he has some ability to create his own shot he could be a player. He seems to have some similarities with Casspi out in Sacramento.

Yes Rev, That's why I think a Rubio-Flynn starting back court can work. Clearly Flynn aint a PG, but wit Rubio gaurding SGs its all good.

No way in hell does it work.

Rubio can't guard the best shooting guards in the league. There is just no way it could work.
Rubio is physically not able to guard Wade or Kobe unless he adds muscles.

There is no need to make our undersized team even more undersized. If Rubio plays for this team he should be the starting point guard. Period.
I like Flynn but if Rubio becomes our pg of the future this ultimately means that Flynn is gone. I see him being a very solid nba starter in the future but there is no way Rubio and him can work together unless you have a prime Dikembe Mutombo protecting the rim.

We should look to pair either Rubio or Flynn with a big, athletic and defensively solid SG. Yes, it's you Evan Turner!

It may work in a patchwork kind of way, but why handicap ourselves like that if we don't have to? Why not just trade Flynn for a SG or make Flynn a 6th man?

Turner just nailed the game winning three in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tourney. Please let him end up a Timberwolf, please.

At work, but was able to turn the game on with 2.2 seconds left. Wanted to see the finish instead of just watching the score update on ESPN.com. And that wasn't a game winning three, that was a beautiful half court shot catching nothing but net. Big time players make big time plays in big time games. Turner's a stud.

dunkonu21 · Post #1278 » by **dunkonu21** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 7:59 pm

It's not patchwork. Rubio is big enough to gaurd SGs and Flynn is small at PG, but he should be able to do it too. Rubio is so young, if he gets into the NBA he will gain weight. And i suspect he is pretty wirey strong already.

Rubio/Flynn won't happen, the same way Jefferson/Love hasn't happened, lack of defense.
