There's a Woodrow's in the Heights and one in Midtown. Which one is it??


I have never been there but I'm sure they are in the one with the better interior deco with a lots of girls. :wink:


Doesn't sound like either Woodrow's. They're both places where hipsters bring their dumbass dogs in.

haha really? damn things aren't going well for those two huh?
Well let me guess one more time while at it. They should be in, one with the least amount of dumbass dogs then. 8-)

Btw we have a B2B game against the Thunders, hope our guys won't go out to party too hard tonight over our win at The Big Easy.

At certain moments, always unforeseen, I become happy…
I look at strangers near as if I had known them all my life…
everything fills me with affection…
It may be an hour before the mood passes,
but ultimately I seem to understand

no more space in sig

His activity is so good and the influence of Howard has been incredible. Give these two a couple seasons together and watch out.

I'm hoping Jones can come back next season with a better 3 ball ala Jeremy Lin.

I would love Aaron Craft with our second round pick

You think he's an NBA player?

I like Canaan as a backup and I'm thinking more like the Deron Williams level target. I don't think Rondo really works in the "system" but it seems he could be part of an Asik move.


Maybe Ty Lawson?

Granted I haven't been there since probably last summer, I never had a problem with Woodrow's in midtown (though it wasn't my bar of choice we would sometimes go there) and I'm neither a hipster nor did I ever bring my dog, in fact I usually saw frat boys and hicks

In fact the only problem I had with it is their bathroom situation

Seems the 1-2 PnR we like to run with Lin-Harden is getting some pub after last night's win.

http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_ ... nge-winner

I think one thing the article doesn't mention is that not switching and having Lin's defender going under the screen is also not that effective due to Lin turning the cornor off the screen and driving into the middle of the floor with a full head of steam, which at the end of the day is pretty hard to defend. We've been using this 1-2 PnR quite a bit, dating all the way back to I would say the middle of last season or so, and it has proved to be quite effective. It's one of the few plays that tailors to both Lin and Harden's strengths.

In other notes I was a bit sad to see how conservative Canaan played with his first real minutes on the floor. He's a shooter, he should've been shooting with no hesitation whenever he saw daylight. Also I will say Harden is most definitely putting more effort on defense lately, especially in terms of rotating quicker and challenging shots. Still leaves quite a bit to be desired but it's a lot better than before.

People asked the same thing about Lin and Parsons.

Deron Williams makes too much and he's become injury prone.
