    Beverley would cost us 2-4 points a game strictly on hand checking the opposing teams players while they were in the bonus. He also managed to get obliterated by point guards who can't shoot because he refuses to give up some airspace.

    Nick's defense is really promising because of his athleticism; I'm curious to see how he fares against premier PGs...

    Athletically Johnson can stay in the same stratosphere with Westbrook.

    Paul and Curry are PNR guards.

    Bigs able to move there feet are key in slowing them down.

    Westbrook is going to get eliminated in the first round.

    Gotcha. It's a good flip to Gamestop ($11 -> $17) and Best Buy (same price; $19 for next-gen) if anyone cares.

    I thought Dwight played pretty well actually. Aside from a few errant post ups, he did everything he needed to.

    Dwight looks good. He's much more "springy" since his return.

    John Wall is a premier point guard. What are you talking about?

    No, no- this random guy on the BBS is actually the spawn of John Wooden, Red Auerbach and Bobby Knight. His basketball insights will be studied for generations to come!

    Another reason why Prigs/Terry/Brewer come handy

    In fairness, when guys are used to tipoff coming at 7PM, playing a game that starts in the morning is a pretty big adjustment. My job starts at 7AM. If I had to go in one day at 11:30PM the night before, I'd be a little out of sorts as well.

    Johnson's defense and hops were impressive, but give that boy some free throw practice. Priggy did O.K., handled the ball well, and maybe got his shooting touch going. Just got to keep rolling. Brutal schedule ahead.
