I'm so depressed right now. Draft looks like shit too unless Morey moves up.

Don't sleep on the Kings, they have been getting some decent wins lately.

I'm getting really annoyed with all the workarounds I have to go through to use ubuntu. Should I stick with it or delete it and upgrade to Windows 7?

Holy shit so this was actually true? [expletive] yes!

Beasley was brilliant for the Timberwolves for the first half of the season but since then has put together some subpar performances. In fact since the All-Star break Beasley's numbers have dipped from 20 points per game to 16.6 on 16 shots (41%), which is just awful. He's been reduced to a low IQ, no defense, ballstopping chucker. To be fair though, there aren't many players on the Minnesota roster that have to the ability to create their own shots. It doesn't excuse Beasley's horrific play and I'm actually beginning to think that it might be best to ship him out this summer while his value is high, and then draft Harrison Barnes if the Wolves are unable to land Irving. I love what Anthony Randolph has been doing for the Timberwolves recently but he still has a long way to go before I consider any part of the Wolves' future plans. His IQ is low and is prone to make many mistakes and cause turnover, this can fixed considering how young Randolph but so far he hasn't done much to improve in any of those areas. He also needs to develop some sort of consistency, one day he explodes for 24 points and the next he's 0-5 and his biggest statlines are 4 fouls and 3 turnovers. He does have a ton of potential and has shown some flashes of becoming a solid NBA player but he's going to have to work on his game over the summer. Wesley Johnson is great. I have no complaints about him whatsoever, he defends, he rebounds, he can shoot. I doubt he will ever be an All-Star but he can be one of those pivotal role players that every championship contending team desires. Still if DeMarcus Cousins ever lives up to his potential, the Wolves will be kicking themselves for passing on that kind of talent. Love making the All-Star team this year was huge, he was the first to do it since Kevin Garnett although I do feel Al Jefferson (prior to the knee injury) should have been an All-Star. Minnesota's #1 priority in the offseason should be to sign Love to an extension but do so without giving him starlike dollars. Despite all the historic accomplishments Love has done this season, I do not think he will ever becoming a star but he makes a great robin. Anyways I'm not here to bash Love but I do feel he's overrated sometimes (and underrated too, mostly by bitter Blazer fans). Kahn should be negotiating on an extension ASAP. I'm still unsure about what Minnesota should do if they somehow do land the #1 pick in the draft. Should they draft Irving and then ship off Rubio? Should they trade down one or two spots and pick up a few extra assets and then take Harrison Barnes or Derrick Williams? Should Kahn just flat out trade the pick in exchange for an All-Star (much like New Jersey did)? I don't know but what I do know is that David Kahn and Tony Ronzone are incredibly high on Rubio (hence why they're so stubborn to trade him) and I view Rubio as a once in a decade kind of point guard prospect, whether he lives up to that potential is all on him though. In the end I have no clue what the future holds for Minnesota. Can they be a playoff team in 2 or 3 years? Definitely but what David Kahn does over the summer is going to largely affect what their future looks like. I was disappointed when Kahn refused to use the large trade exception from the Al Jefferson trade and after signing his first round picks, he won't have much cap space left over either. Maybe he has a plan, I don't know but I have always felt that Kahn received too much hate from the media and casual NBA fans. However, I may join in with the Minnesota rioters that want to throw Kahn and his staff out of office IF he once again disappoints and doesn't improve the team with his summer moves.

Not even close but I'm not so disorganized and messy that my room looks and smells like shit. Its bearable, there are a games/movies/books all scattered across the room along with energy drinks and bottles of water and my bed looks a bit messy, but its not a total disaster. I do get up and clean when it gets a little out of hand. I don't have a car but I've been using my sister's for the year and I have done my best to keep it clean. I'm sure I'll do the same when I get my own. For whatever reason I care for cars more than my room.

If you have nothing to add to the topic and are going to attack the sport and its fanbase then please don't even bother posting. 5 years is too optmisitc. I agree that the MLS will grow and continue to rise in the ranks throughout the years but its going to take at least a decade to surpass the Mexican league.

http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/news/_/id/6289711/drogba-headed-mls I hear the Dynamo are in need of a DP. :glasses: Seriously though it would be HUGE for the MLS to get big names like Marquez, Henry and then Drogba and Anelka in the span of one year. The league is definitely growing and I do hope Drogba comes over, even if he's playing on team besides Houston.

I bought the ppv for that match and can't seem to recall much people booing The Rock. It was there but no where near the scale of how its been with Cena. Anyways this year build up could actually be a good thing if done right but doubtful with the WWE creative team.

Lol one year? And yeahhh Cena is never going heel.

Agreed with everything htown said. This team deserves to be in the playoffs, too bad we will likely miss it again this year but at least we're improving.

OMG :lmao:

I just don't get how he went from Martin securing a rebound to "Real Deal is a bitch".

LOL OWNED

Yeah I'm having trouble with finding a stream too.

It depends on the player. Kevin Durant came into poor situation with the lack of attendance and reason for optimism in Seattle and the team moving down to Oklahoma City the season after. The Thunder/Supersonics virtually had no veterans too. Washington was the laughingstock of the NBA last year and as far as I can tell John Wall is doing a tremendous job down there and has turned the ship around almost by himself. Prospects weak mentally are going to need a veteran and winning presence in order grow though.

Ah slipped my mind. This move really hurts after reading this... http://twitter.com/#!/GlennDavisSoc/status/53947140929630208

Welcome to the site. Stick around.

Do the Rip + Pistons 2011 first deal. If the picks don't move around in the lottery than you're looking at the 1st, 7th and 8th picks. If this were to happen then I would advise against picking Kyrie Irving number one and instead opt for Harrison Barnes or Derrick Williams because solid point guards like Kemba Walker and Brandon Knight will be available at your next picks. Pick either one and then follow it up with Enes Kanter.

Deal is done. Congrats Will.

Not really. If you're an elite team, you shouldn't be worried about who you play in the first round. Lolwut?

Nice.
