    Thats pretty good, but it would be easier for us to get him if he DOESNT play well [​IMG]...
    We already know he can play.

    I hope he doesn't improve his draft status beyond where we can get him.

    Who would be better for the Rockets? Battier or Morris? Why?

    Battier seems to be a more consistent 3-pt. shooter and better defender, but honestly, I haven't really seen either player. What do you guys think?

    I think Morris will be the better pro. Battier won't be able to do the things defensively in the pros that he's able to in college, plus Morris has better size and athletic ability. In the right situation, Morris could be a very good starter, whereas Battier could be a very good role player.

    BTW What the *&#% was he thinking last night fouling Haywood in the last few seconds of the game? What, did he think Brendan was going to pop a 30 footer to beat them? Not a very heady play for someone who's regarded as a heady player.

    Prempeh,
    That was called effort. He saw a steal, went for it, and ran into Haywood instead. It was a pity, but even so, he had a good game. That was just a bad break. I question why he gambled like that, but if he had gotten that steal, game over.

    I am surprised that Haywood made his free throws....he is a horrendous shooter from the foul line.

    There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    I got to disagree Hoop-T and go with Prempeh. I mean, it may have been effort, but it was also mis-timed effort. You just can't risk it in that situation.

    But he isn't why the Devils lost. HORRENDOUS FT shooting cost Duke that game.

    Wow...no joke, Live...they were 40 percentage points off their average for the season, very atypical.
