yup all of things will add up, the meeks one was especially a killer

problem is this effort could kill them tomorrow night. might have been better off quitting in the 4th since they couldnt finish the job

i know its on the road but they never should have had to give forth that kind of effort against a team who had half their rotation injured

And a team that's been an absolute mess since the Sloan/Deron Williams departure, and even before that.

fargin eh. I didn't see the game. Heard it on the radio. Help me understand why they let Miles drive and score in 2 seconds to tie it up? Sounded like they didn't even try and stop him.

watching elton brand try to play on the block defense is painful

back to back possesions in OT kirelinkos follow jam and jefferson abusing brand down low was the final nail...they have to get a true power forward or defensive center....its just a must

It's nothing more than speculation at this point, but the Lakers are rumored to be targeting D Howard in 2012 and in order to make cap space for him, would put Bynam on the trade block as early as this coming offseason. Tons of talent, tons of injuries. Would you make a move for him?

ice grillin you · March 15, 2011, 11:16:04 AM

id def consider bynam depending on the price and who else is available....but how about dwight howard in philly!!

Sgt PSN · March 15, 2011, 11:39:03 AM

Todd will be hosting a half hour show on ESPN to talk about Temple sports before Howard ever ends up in Philly.

smeags · March 15, 2011, 12:13:00 PM

wow, you think the odds are that great against it ?

Sgt PSN · March 15, 2011, 12:14:17 PM

Actually, I think they're worse. But I don't like being a total downer and was trying to give the little guy hope of having any sort of successful career in sports media.

smeags · March 15, 2011, 12:19:33 PM

c'mon now, no doubt the lil guy is heading towards a job at the gray lady someday.

MDS · March 15, 2011, 01:12:27 PM

E-mail from Duke student to Elton Brand when he left early for the draft
From: Taylor, Jennifer

To: Brand, Elton
Subject: Leaving Duke

I graduated from Duke last May and just wanted to express my disgust for your decision to leave the Duke program after only two years. As an alum, not only do I hold the school in high regard, but the basketball program as well, especially since both have deservedly garnered such a great deal of respect for their accomplishments.

As part of our basketball program, you represent Duke as a whole. We are first and foremost an academic school, you clearly did not belong at Duke in the first place if this was the extent of your commitment to Duke and a college education in general. You have not only insulted the current students who are putting in four years at a school they love, but also the thousands of alumni who have realized the value of a Duke education and what an honor and privilege it was to be there for four years.

If you do not realize the opportunity you has infront of you to play for Coach K and at the same time attain a Duke diploma, then that is certainly your loss. I just wish that you has spared us the notion that you were continuing in the tradition of being a Duke student-athlete, in emphasizing excellence in both academics and athletics. You will not be considered part of the Duke family, in my mind as well as many others. You have by no means proved yourself worthy of that title.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Taylor

Thank you very much, for reminding me of the reason why I left Duke. People like you can not and will not ever understand my situation. I'm sure daddy worked very hard to send your rich self to college. While real people struggle. I would also like to extend an invitation for you not to waste your or my time ever agin. Never being considered a part of your posh group of yuppies really hurts me to the heart. Yeah, right. Because I don't care about you or your alumni.

Sincerely,
Elton Brand #42 NBA
