Around The NBA 2.0

Don't like Jerryd Bayless. Looks like a punk a** and plays like one too.

Really liking Mike Conley. I often think of Kemba as too small. But Conley is listed at the same height and weight. Anybody who's seen these guys in person corroborate they're the same size?

Poor Pacers fans. You get a close out game against the Knicks and your starting point guard is . . .
D.J. Augustine! Ouch.

Augustin was making mistakes all over the floor. At first I thought he was going to have one of those games that would've made the sports media take pop shots like "why did the lowly Bobcats let go of him for?".

Nasty fall by Barnes. Hope the kid is okay.

Looks like stitches and a concussion.

Rough. I was worried that he might have broken his forearm/elbow trying to brace his fall.

Looked a lot worse than MKG's concussion that essentially wrecked his season, hope Barnes is okay. The dude has gained a lot of respect from me in these playoffs.

Not #2 pick respect, but he's a very good fit for Golden State and he's thriving there.

One of these days when our young team makes the playoffs I can only hope our crowd is half as awesome as Golden States. I'm jealous I must admit.

The atmosphere was pretty awesome the first time around. Dunno why it'd be any different in the future

Eh it was decent considering how badly out classed we were. Considering how much pain and suffering we've went through the past two seasons it will be incredible when we do make it.

Poor Bucks fans. Is there a worse situation in the NBA? Sloan basically hinted the Bucks have no idea what they're doing or what their plan is. Its like they are content to be the 9th to 7th seed and nothing more, nothing less. No wonder Skiles gave up.

Western Conference Finals, don't know who to root for, both SA & MEM really admirable teams right now.

Done deal, Maloofs sell Kings to Sacramento group. This is the job Phil Jackson's been waiting for. He's gonna jump all over this. And let the bidding for DeMarcus Cousins begin, as SAC looks to reboot team culture.

I think I'm siding with Memphis since they have the size, youth, and athleticism to really challenge Miami if they happen to meet in the Finals. Zach Randolph is a bruising force that the Heat won't be able to put Shane Battier on with their small lineups.

I'm rooting for the Griz. I love me some Marcy Marc.
