That is awful. Best wishes to Mike Miller and his family.

Or Brek Shea, I was kind of expecting him to make it.

Great documentary, after I watched it when it first came out, I was really rooting Telfair.

Nice summary. I also like that even though its a big market town, the ticket prices are never ridiculous even during the playoffs. From that site...

This is probably my dream draft. I would love to get Nogueria with one of our later picks but if Donatas falls to our lap at #14, there is no way we should pass up on him. Montiejunas is more NBA ready while Nogueria is several years away from becoming an impact player. Honeycutt has some great potential too and we could use another wing, and make Terrence Williams or Budinger expendable. There is no way Bertans falls to the 2nd round but if he does then that would be a great pick too. 10/10 draft if that happens (doubt it) because the Rockets would be picking up players with some of the higher ceilings in this draft.

Toyota Center gets a very solid 4.6 FANFARE score with a 4.1 crowd score. Very generous rating, the Toyota Center is top notch stadium no doubt but the crowd usually isn't very loud outside of the upper bowl and the Red Rowdies.

I thought it was confirmed when I posted but its only a rumor right now.

Ettore Messina will be on Brown's coaching staff. FWIW the Spurs were also after him a few years ago as Messina is regarded as one of the best (if not the best) coaches in Europe.

Valanciunas was ranked as the top center prospect for most of the year but it wasn't until we learned of his buyout situation that his stock began to slip while Kanter's rose.

Eh. You can tell he cares deeply about winning games and is willing to do whatever he can to do just that (even though sometimes it leads to moves like trading for Jamison etc). If a world class organization like the Spurs can see that and promote him to VP then he honestly can't be THAT bad of a general manager.
