Ronny in foul trouble...Look for Gasol to go off now.

Spain goes on a major run with Turiaf out.

[Sid the Squid]

Turiaf with a stupid 3rd foul..F**k!!

[yehyeh82]

LOL at the refs calling a carrying call 75 feet from the basket on Diaw....They seem to be so ticky-tacky on some things, but then let other things go completely uncalled.....

.Rubio not going 3rd to OKC is insane.

That was an all-time epic pooch screwing.

[FNQ]

Rubio playing good hard nosed D on Parker

Kahn wins the offseason... if you beat Presti, you're good...

[Sid the Squid]

Presti is obviously extermely overrated..He drafted Harden because of what Westbrook would think..Nellie being the SOB he is, drafted the best player available.

[FNQ]

Added Durant, Green and Westbrook... got 3 1st rounders for Kurt Thomas somehow... traded big time names in Allen and Shard (brilliantly IMO, in between the move), traded Luke Ridnour for expirings...

There aren't many better

OKC seemed to be interested in Rubio, if you remember correctly... they asked about the buyout situation. Seems they weren't interested in investing a top 3 pick on a question mark, and that was probably the better move for them... think Rubio would be any more anxious to come to the NBA to land in Oklahoma City?

[Sid the Squid]

Can I ask you something? Who wouldnt of drafted Durant #2?

[FNQ]

[Sid the Squid]

Come on dude..Durant = no brainer and Harden = complete failure

[FNQ]

Id say if we somehow got the #2 pick, I wouldnt be surprised if we took Horford...

I'm not a fan of Harden at all, I think OKC would have done much better with a guy like Tyreke, Curry or even Flynn... but Rubio would have been a dumb move, they need help to keep Durant around and need to start becoming legit. Chandler non-trade showed Presti wants to make that move forward...

And you can't hold it against him that he had the 2nd pick in a 2 person draft... outside of taking Harden over Tyreke/Curry/Flynn, what move of his can you argue against at all?

[Sid the Squid]

I'm not holding against him..I'm shooting you down for praising the pick..You're off your rocker if you think anybody by Oden and Durant were going 1-2...There's no reason to hype up this suit.

He did a pretty good job up until last summer..But I would of taken Randolph over Westbrook 100 out 100 times if I had scouted both ..I would of taken Rubio without even considering Harden.

Durant
Randolph
Green
Rubio

That's sic.

[5Strong]

Come on dude..Durant = no brainer and Harden = complete failure

You are really going to have a lot of crow to eat with James Harden.

[Sid the Squid]

Rubio>Harden...I'll be eating cake.

[St.Nick]

Rubio was a great addition for the Barcelona Barcelonans. He's going to be great for them over the next three years, by which time David Kahn will be out of a job.
