Well, you can say that about a lot of teams mistakes during draft night. Pistons skipping out on Bosh, Wade, Melo, Hinrich, KYLE KORVER!!!

Oden should look to take advantage of the small players he'll be playing against. I know GSW doesn't have any players that are as pesky of a defender as Chuck Hayes was to Oden, so this should be a fun game to watch.

QFT. I'd take Kidd anytime of the year over Calderon. I don't really like Calderon that much, I don't see him as the point guard the Raps were looking for. I feel there are better PGs in the league that I'd start over Jose.

Oden isn't a bust at all. He may be in the league for his 3rd year but he's a sophomore as far as playing. You gotta remember that last year, Oden was considered a rookie and therefor that makes him a sophomore this year. It's his second year playing in the NBA and he's only getting better with every game. Trust me when I say this as I watch nearly every Portland game, Oden isn't a bust at all. He'll get to where he needs to be later in the season and early next season. I fully believe in this guy to be exactly what Portland needed. I still take Oden over Durant back during the draft. Even if Durant made the All-Star team last year, Oden is what we needed and still do need.

Agreed. The Spurs will bounce back and get 4-6th in the west.

Why would you even think he was a bust? There is no chance at all that he's a bust. None. Sure, he gets injuried a lot but that certainly doesn't make him a bust. Like what has been said, when healthy, he is usually the best center in the entire league, hands down. Name another center in the league that can hit mid range shots CONSISTANTLY. Name another center in the league in which they take the technical foul free throw. The Rockets don't send TMac, Brooks, Battier, or anyone else to take the technical free throw if Yao is on the court. He can shoot, he can draw fouls, he can MAKE 90% of his free throws. In no way shape or form is Yao a bust.

I too would probably start watching again. I forgot how much I really liked the Rock back when he was wrestling. I always liked him as a wrestler but when he left, I got less and less interested in wrestling. I thought that when Jericho came back, I'd be watching more of it as he's my all time favorite but from what I was watching, they weren't using Jericho like I had hoped. If the Rock came back for about a month or two to fued with Jericho...that would be amazing.

Uh...This is very obvious. DJ Mbenga! No, it's Kobe, then Melo, then Roy in my opinion. Roy likes to get the entire team involved and when we need him to take over a game, he does so. I know, I'm biased, whatever. I honestly think Roy is probably the third best in the best. Maybe Dirka Dirka third and Roy four, but it's close between the two. Deron Williams could make a strong case but it seems like he's missed a couple of games...I don't know though.

We decided to have Thanksgiving dinner at my new house this year, so it should be interesting to have everyone over.

It's kind of hard to get wins when a lot of your starters are constantly hurt. Take the three from the starting five of any team and they'll be playing like crap. Though the Nets are getting the chance to develop their youngs a little, would be nice to develop them with some of their starters, hah.

I'm really puzzled by the Charlie V three point shot right when the ball was inbounded with 10 seconds left on the clock from about 3-4 inches behind the three point line...

It's obviously going to affect us, he's a key player off the bench, he's very clutch in the 4th quarter (for the most part). Rudy and Martell definitely need to pick up the scoring and shooting more consistent.

Holy crap, we are choking this game. Thank you Blake for missing your three point attempt, getting your rebound, making a couple of passes, and hitting the dagger three to hopefully end the game. 81-77 with 25 seconds left as I type this.

Agree with the first two quotes and laughed at LGF.

Gotta love it. Bargs has been playing great lately. Slow developer I suppose.

I don't see what everyone sees in Randolph. I don't think he has the potential to be anything special in the NBA. Maybe I haven't watched enough Warrior games to see him play but I honestly wouldn't build any team around him and another player. The Warriors should be Monta's team if they were smart. Maybe I just like Monta too much, lol. I don't this to my cousin the other night, I'm glad the Warriors and Grizzlies aren't my favorite teams in the NBA. Those two teams have got some issues they need to work out...and fast.

From what I read on NBA.com in the preview of this game, Prince will not play.

I'm not even sure why they love him so much...

Yes, let's see LeBron go to the NFL and fail doing that just like that one guy did when he went to play baseball and ditched basketball and sucked at that...I think LeBron and the other guy wore the same jersey number too...only the other guy played in Chicago. No really though, I'm not sure how he would do. I don't watch enough football to know if he could or not.

I thought the officiating in overtime wasn't....very good. They call Blake for stepping out of bounds when the replay showed he didn't, missed a goal tend that was a three point shot that could of brought the game closer when the replay clearly showed it was, and called a huge loose ball foul on Oden very very late. Was not very pleased with the outcome of overtime. Though, I gotta give it to JJ, he just could not be stopped at all, he literally carried the Hawks at the end and got them the win. He's a very fun player to watch.

I see Portland closing the road trip with the win despite not having Outlaw.

Are you using Photoshop? If you are, I'd suggest using the polygonal lasso tool to cut images out, it's what I use and it's really accurate. You just gotta be patient and take some time with it. Keep at it man, you'll get around to making sigs as good as some of the people around here.

I too went with 55 rebounds in a game, just waaaay to high for anyone to even come close. Almost went with Wilt's 100 but Kobe dropped 81 so someone could get up there.

While it was somewhat funny, it was completely uncalled for. You could clearly tell he was trying to get it to toss it aside away from Ariza. Not very cool.

Try cutting Iverson out better too.
