I'm watching the Oklahoma Vs Daivdson game and I'm not digging Griffin's body language too much. He's not getting the looks he should because his guards keep shooting (he's had 4 shot attempts at the half) but that is no reason to just jog up and down the court. He does have 11 boards and a couple of nice assists though.

On the other hand, Curry has 17pts and missed 6 mins of the 1st half because of fouls and I hardly even remember him shooting the ball!! That kid is a serious scoring threat.

I would be happy with either guy.

i dont care what anyone says, curry is the best player in the country. i truely believe he can be an nba point guard. i havent been this sure about a college prospect since adam morrison.

True, but there's no place for him on the Cats. We need big men, even if Curry is the best player.

[fatlever]

i dont know a god damn thing about BJ Mullins, but i do know this... he goes to ohio state, therefore i hate him. say no to BJs!!!!! no....no.... BJ = good. say no to Mullins. no...no... i love chris mullin, the player, just not chris mullin the drunk or chris mullin the gm. better yet, say no to ohio state. that is a sound philisophy all around.

[toots on horn] HOF HOF HOF!!!!! [/tooting]

[BigSlam]

These refs need to put the freaking whistles away and just let the kids play!!

[fatlever]

that little glass shot by curry a minute ago... wow.

[Walt Cronkite]

Note to ESPN: when I can see "ESPN2HD" in the l/r borders of my picture, I'm pretty sure I'm not watching hd.

[BigSlam]

that little glass shot by curry a minute ago... wow.

It was the lead up that was mesmerizing. He gets his defender on his hip, turns him inside out then pumps a nice little floater and kisses it off the glass.

Showed a lot of smarts and poise all in about a 5 sec span.

[Walt Cronkite]

I don't like that. Pass the ball big fella! You're not impressing me with your weak coast-to-coast attempt.

[BigSlam]

Walt, I'm starting to get hot.

[fatlever]

and the rout is on. griffin taking over, curry pressing.

[Walt Cronkite]

So he gets the beady eyes from paw, the complexion from his mom.
