Lebron should give Melo a call on how to hit game winners.

Knicks really struggling atm, can't see them making much headway in the playoffs.

Moneys still got to be on the lakers, the Bulls are looking awesome at the minute but Lakers just know how to win those tight games.

The fact that Mark/Nikaed hasn't posted on this thread in 2 weeks shows how well the Knicks are playing :D

Anybody watching the college hoops this year? Big match out west tonight in the Sweet Sixteen, Kemba Walker and UConn @ San Diego State. Go Aztecs! Would love them to get to the final 4 and knock Duke off for Steve Fisher.

If aybody hasn't seen Kemba this year, look him up. He's a beast!

Maybe it's just me, but I struggle to understand American drafts. For example, for the most part of the year, I've been reading that Perry Jones is touted as a possible #1 pick in the 2011 draft, yet when I watched him, he was pretty poor. Another player I've watched a couple of times is Terrence Jones, who some rate highly and some rate quite poorly. I personally felt he was a decent player with a big frame, so couldn't understand the divide in opinion. I also can't understand the ranking of teams and what makes a team so good. I see teams that have potential NBA picks in their team, like Kentucky with Jones and Knight, yet they are seeded poorly; why?

I've never properly watched NCAA basketball or whatever, so maybe I'm slow to catch on and understand things, and when I finally try and watch it, I see a shed load of fuss made over Jimmer Fredette, who, from what I've read, is one of the best scorers in college, yet will be a limited, average player in the NBA. Am I missing something? Is it not all about numbers at college? Argh, I'm getting annoyed just trying to explain myself, it's bloody odd and I can't fathom it, and the NBA draft is probably the most simple draft!

Strength of schedule plays a massive part in the seedings and the conference they play in. As for skill sets and how they adapt to the NBA, it's totally different. Jimmer for example, he won't be able to create the looks he get's in college in the NBA against much better,stronger defenders and systems. J.J Redick is a prime example of a similar player who tore it up in college but is just a run of the mill bench player for the Magic. As for the players who look poor in college, they're fancied in the NBA alot of time due to their bodies, the NBA kills you physicaly night in and night out and having a strong frame that can withstand it is a big factor in GM and coaches evaluation of players. Lebron being a prime example.

We're awful. I'm speechless with what has happened to us. Be careful what you wish for I guess.
