Kevin Love a great locker room guy?

Granger is putting in work.

I can actually see Bosh struggling defending Bargnani. It will just be fun to watch the sort of interaction the Raps have with him pre-game before the jump, the players actually seem pretty bitter when asked about Bosh, so I wonder if there will be any love. I wouldn't be surprised if Bosh went off tonight though, they need to run plays for him instead of basically using him as Udonis Haslem. EDIT: IT IS ON TSN WOOHOO NO STREAM

He needs a coach he respects.

it is 20 songs so it will take me a while to form an opinion on it. I have listened to like 5 songs since d/ling it last night. If there are any songs I like better than Before I'm Gone I will be impressed.

I still think the expectations were too high for this team from the start. I mean, if Yao is back for 35 minutes a night that is a different story, otherwise I just picture them as a fringe playoff team.

after last night's game I don't know what to think.

It looks to me like Aldridge has been playing pretty [expletive]ty so far, actually.

so bitter.

Talk to me 40 games from now when the chip on their shoulder has worn off.

I always do.

I don't think Weems has the IQ to be an elite defender, but the physical tools are definitely there for him to be very effective defensively, like he already is (he is probably our best wing defender). The problem with Weems is that it is difficult to carve out a specific role for him, which is why I am so unsure of him. He isn't a spot up shooter and is effective with the ball in his hands, especially in the mid range. He basically isn't very effective playing off the ball, but he isn't really effective enough with the ball to have the ball in his hands a lot. He is awesome in transition though. But him getting 12 points in 23 minutes on over 50% definitely warrants more playing time, it is just hard to find the minutes because Linas and Barbosa need minutes on the wing too. Barbosa getting surgery would be huge for Sonny's minutes, and he probably knows it lol. If Weems develops a competent 3 point shot, not potent, but solid, he could easily be a starter in this league, hopefully it is here though because I like his game when he is playing his game, and not trying to get a shot per minute up. I love when Jack Armstrong calls Sonny out on his chucking during broadcasts though lol.

If they make the playoffs without an all-star or an 18 PPG player he definitely deserves coach of the century.

This is an insider article on ESPN that I saw posted on RealGM. I think it is kind of interesting. I would like to see him get consistent minutes, it would result in him probably being less concerned with getting as many shots in as possible if he knows where his minutes are coming from. Weems and Derozan would at the very least be an exciting back court to watch. Also, am I the only one scared Weems is going to get a 5 year 40 million dollar deal or something from BC this year? lol.

idk are we [expletive]ing fortune tellers warren?

idiot.

all these features are kind of annoying.

Swizz Beatz is so annoying, why does he need to get his dumbass voice on every song he produces (I assume he produced this song).

I seriously picture us losing by 40 tonight.

lol osu I just realized, after I had downloaded another one, that you sent me the link. so far this is pretty dope productions wise.

I am on the first song right now, not sure if it is explicit or not, if it is I will upload it later and send everyone the link. This first song is pretty cool tho, love the beat.

someone hook it up.

Of course we should have, there was no risk to taking him on, and every other team in the league that COULD have taken him should have. The red flags around this kid were so stupid, even if he failed you could have just cut him. I was laughing when people were saying Beasley was being offered for free to teams with cap, I thought it was foolish, but apparently it wasn't. Like I said in the other thread, people acted like he was a scrub in Miami, but he was actually very solid for that team, the expectations were just too high for the kid from the get go. He was expected to come in and be Robin to Wade's Batman as a rookie, which was just crazy for a 19 year old.
