I really hope Thompson stays in school another year. He could easily be a top 10 pick if he picks up his offense. Awesome game.

A couple of more games like this in the tourney and TT will have played himself into the lottery this year. He's the Anti-Bargs; great motor and all heart. I actually wouldn't be adverse to us taking him as long as we could move Bargs and one of Amir or Easy Ed for another first rounder and players (s). I think TT has the most upside at the pf spot over ED and AJ.

Makes total sense but is the temptation to great.This is when parent's need to step in and advise not agent's...Of course if that parent is looking at it as financial gain then forget it.
Some FT improvement as well but that should change with his surmountable trip's to the line over his career.

Is the Duke game not on TV in Canada? I'd like to see Kyrie -- sadly, though, I'm at work and thus limited to the usual 60 or whatever channels, nothing digital.

This ND-Akron game is boring as hell, can't find the Duke game anywhere.

Go to NCAA.com - all games are streamed (completely legal) and good quality too.

It breaks my heart knowing we have no chance on landing Irving. A DeRozan, Ed, Irving core would bring back excitement to the Raptors and force BC's hand on trading Andrea Vagnani.

Brinbe · Post #155 » by **Brinbe** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 8:07 pm

Well, we do have a slight chance, so no need to get all depressed now.

I don't think DeRozan and Ed fit together.
DeRozan plays an open game, like to get to the rim when there are less people around it. He should he is sitting back when he doesn't see the lane open. Now he has some post up game, but still need a lot of room in the paint for that to work.
Meanwhile, Ed is a post up guy. He is not quick enough to be a face up, and we don't want him to shoot jumper all the time, so most likely he will play post up. Sure we can have Davis just to play a minor role without posting up, but I don't think he likes that way.

Cleveland is a much more important market to the NBA right now. Stern will "award" the first pick to them... But it's not like they don't deserve it they are **** horrible.
