Do you know what builds winning culture? drafting rookies that are actually good at playing basketball. I know,right? shocking :lol:

Kings come from 18 down on the road to the Clippers to win and help both our picks.

Buddy Curry with 2 late 3s to assist the comeback.

Doc Rivers is so stupid. Did you watch game? He refused to put starters back on the floor until Kings cut down lead to 3. Than it was too late.

That kings win was a big lol.
Not liking the odds for Philly right now, but we're still in the second quarter and hopefully Sergio Rodriguez will catch fire again like in their Chicago game.
Also, Rashaun Holmes is a very good player. Philly has brutal depth at the C/PF .

Hah, called it!

Sergio taking over 2nd quarter.

And Saric, my goodness, what a talented player...

My eyes are bleeding every time i watch Turner moves. I don't know why his body moves like he is robot.

Deaaron Fox is terrrrrrrrrrrrrible. Its almost funny to me that DX has his going 6th. We all know thats just a stunt and he will be like 10+ come draft day. Right?

Is he athletic and with low feel for the game? Yep, we'll take him with our sixth pick.

Would you guys be ok with a trade of Fournier + our first this year (assuming we end up outside top 3) for Jimmy butler?

He will still have 2 years remaining on his contract. Which should give us enough time to build a good team around him. Plus with our cap space we might actually be able to convince competent vets to come sign here. I think a lineup of Payton, ross (or free agent signing), butler, Gordon and vuc. I like that team alot better than are current one.

With the Sixers loss: Orlando is tied with Philly and NKYKs in the wins and losses columns.

Oh, Hennigan. If you're an Orlando masachist, check out this track record. Can he save his job this offseason, or is he doomed?

We compared Orlando, Phoenix and Denver's track records - how do they get off the NBA treadmill?

If we lose the next 3 we are right back where we need to be. It be nice if we can at least split with the nets. I'm not giving up but it's quite sad how clueless our front office is as we watch the other teams tank while we do nothing to push our tank forward.

The first Brooklyn game is a back-to-back with travel for us. This should help the Nets a good bit.

Hopefully Detroit will show some pride in the final game of the season and play better...
