Purdue/Illinois tonight. See if Illinois is truly on their way back

Since OOC play is over and conference under way...

What yall got for a review/look ahead so far?

- Still going with ASU to win the Pac 10

- Georgetown, Uconn, Duke, Gonzaga the group of 4 most suited to give UNC a game right now. Louisville is pending...

- Got to be Harden vs Griffin for POY when it's all said and done.

- All Freshmen team so far : Monroe, Samuels, Landesberg, Aminu, Shumpert. Honorable mention: Holiday, Warren, Forston.

- Wake Forest is getting a reality check soon ; @ BYU, UNC, @ BC, @ Clemson. 2-2 would be damn good in that stretch.

- Blake Griffin does not have the help (interior especially) for Oklahoma to make a run.

- Coach K, III, Huggins, Tubby, Purnell

- BJ Mullens will come around with better conditioning, but still overhyped.

- Baylor + West Virginia = Underrated.

- Stanford = Frauds

We'll have to shoot the lights out that game... I mean something crazy like 11 3's. God I hate UNC

I've seen every game other than his best to date (Drexel). And he's been as consistent as anyone on the team.
Foul trouble has been the only thing to slow him down.

Last years game yall won makes me think it's capable of happening again.

Even if they didn't have Lawson--I know he's a big piece..

but when teams know each other that well...1 game is well in reach for a team like Duke.

Ellington is probably the key, for anyone. He needs to be off.

- My man Rese is putting up a quiet 16,4 and 6 (up from 5 last year) w/ less turnovers, playing less minutes and shooting at a higher FGand 3pt %. (That's for you allen

)
- No way is the P.O.Y battle between people other than Hans and Blake
- Manny Harris is probably better than you teams starting SG
- I think WF can go 3-1 (Outside shot at 4-0) through that stretch. Depending on where the games are played.
- I think I can start @ PG for IU right about now.
- I like Kentucky, they can surprise people in the Tourney, if they get their *%!! together
- Demar, oh Demar, where art thou?
- Tyreke's shot selection makes J.R. Smith blush.
- Gerald Henderson is gonna bang on Greg Monroe.
- Earl Clark > Your teams SF
- Hi. I'm Jeremy Pargo's draft stock. My, have I fallen a bit.
- Austin Daye has managed to be Skinnier than Kevin Durant (how, I don't know)
- Courtney Fortson

. You better get familiar. Sherron Collins lite

. Really wanna see how he plays against OU tonight.

Chris Johnson (LSU) wants to join the club.

 

[allen3xis]

the thought of Tyler getting consideration sickens me

...but you'reright, it'll happen

Griffin, Harden, Curry...please just pick one of them

Harden
24,6,4
58%
46% from 3.

...favorite player right now.

 

[jamesonnt]

Blake Griffin will win NPOY.
Lawson, Curry, Harden, Griffin, Hans for 1st team AA.
UNC wins the chip.

..

that's all I can think about right now ..

 

[bigmike23]

how the hell is staford frauds? did i miss something?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Lawson, Curry, Harden, Griffin, Hans for 1st team AA.
I would go with Curry, Harden, Clark, Griffin and Hans for 1st team AA

Maybe even Flynn,Curry, Harden, Griffin, Hans

I am with you. He is so efficient.

I am looking at his stat line. He has had so many good games from 3 percentage wise.

Hes a *@!+$@# beast

im saying, they aren't 9-0 good. They could drop 4 straight to open Pac 10 play

that teams roster sucks. nobody over 6-8 who can play.

Dawkins has and will do a good job out there tho.

..
My AA

Curry, Harden, Sam Young, Griffin, Hansbrough.

Pitino is gona mess up Earl this year. Bringing him off the bench last game

 

[seymore cake]

Earl came off the bench last game???


Why The ##!* For?

 

[jamesonnt]

I don't see how Lawson can't be 1st team.

Without him they aren't nearly as dangerous ..

He did stink it up (with everyone else tho) against Minnesota.

Just Pitino mixing and matching like always trying to find a solution with this group.

...And no, there really is no room to argue with Lawson being the best Pg right now.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Not even w/ Lil' Jonny?

SMH @ Ty having like a 5:1 *#%/TO ratio

 

[allen3xis]

I think there a few guys I'd rather have on my team than Lawson, Jonny being one of them..

But Ty..

16 a game
shooting 56%
50% from 3
6 to 1 Assist/TO rate
3 steals


He's got a system to his strengths and talent all around...but he's playing lights out himself.

I wouldn't take him, but I can't argue against him right now.

 

[seymore cake]

Allen, do you seriously think Lawson would be as effective if he were switched with say Jonny or Rese???

 

[allen3xis]

Not at all. Not just those 2 either.

But I can't argue with those results.

 

[jamesonnt]

^ Yeah basically.

I think the best PG overall is Flynn but no one can run that UNC offense like Lawson. And since they're going to be national title favorites, have a greatrecord, and he will continue to have good #'s I don't think he can be denied first team.

 

[seymore cake]

^ So you mean to tell me that if you put Jonny, Ty, A.J, even Sherron in that line up they wouldn't be doing the same +!%# if not more because each ofthose PG's offensive game isn't limited to just drives to the basket or fast break points???

 

[jamesonnt]

Flynn - I can see how doing well, not as good as Lawson, probably the next best option.

Tyrese Rice - Hell no.

Sherron - No. Dude is not as good as NT makes him out to be.

A.J. - as in Price?(Long Island

)No way. Dude is not fast enough/his mannerism and movements with the basketball are too weird.

Pargo - No.

No PG can run that offense as well as Lawson can ..

 

[allen3xis]

* when he is able to push it, I agree.

But if they have to execute in half court, I don't want Ty.
