That's how I know Portis sucks.

Portis doesn't suck. He's a high intensity player with a low bust chance. He just doesn't have a very high ceiling because he plays below the rim.

The Suns screwed us... There interest in Frank pressured Jordan into taking him

Why Jordan wouldnt at least select Winslow and trade him for Kaminsky and something else I have no idea. Good will to Pat for retiring his number?

I'd be OK with trading up to #12 for Booker. At least take a small swing for high potential guy.

Jesus, if Winslow was such a sure thing he probably doesn't make it to 10. Yes, there are cases of Dirk, PP, etc... but look at reality. More guys who drop fail.

Guys. Relax. Free agents will line up to play with the team that almost sorta pushed the Cavs to the brink in the four straight games they lost in the first round.

5 of the 11 players taken so far are centers.

Yeah it would sure suck if a 20 year old, 2nd team all-American who average 17.5 and 9 who is 6'11" and can also hit the 3, fell to us...

Now it will be pretty sad, if he doesn't.


Yeah, cuz the last two a-holes we drafted who fit that description worked out so well for us. Why not pick a third...

My reasoning for Winslow falling is because GMs value shooting more than hustle,defense, toughness nowadays.

All is certainly not lost. The night is still young.


You're a better man than I am.

I'm also three hours behind here, and mentally prepared in advance to follow the goings on for the rest of the night.

He is all talk. Two seasons of us Celtics fans Being all excited of major chances coming ,and nothing happens. I kinda see why some Celtics fans are pessimistic now.
