17-11-2-5. He should have 6 blocks, but they called a shot clock violation.

Thanks, AD will be the best big in the league in 2 years

Welllllll IMO Rivers has showed great progress, he is someone that COULD be our starting PG but we have no one on the roster who can start at SF or C, therefore i think its better and smarter to go after a C and SF thru the draft and free agency, give rivers another year to evaluate and grow and if not go after a PG

I wouldn't put all my eggs with Rivers as a PG yet. That is also a big ? Him running that spot full time, 35 - 40 minutes per game is still at least 2 -3 years away IMO, and I was someone who wanted him to start there game 1 this year (didn't see GV as a starting point way back in July).

At this point it's an open spot to look to upgrade right now.

EJ with 24pts-3asts

just imagine if we had a small forward that could shoot? (cough otto porter cough)

I know he isnt the definite PG for next season, but my point is he has a shot, while no one on our team does at SF at C, why not address the hopeless positions first??

I think someone already posted a thread about some chat with Demps that they are looking to upgrade that spot next season. That doesn't sound like they will look from within but I could be reading that wrong.

PG is a much bigger problem in my mind than SF. Aminu is an excellent defender and elite rebounder for his position. Vasquez shoots too much, lacks efficiency, lacks vision, and is a disaster on defense. I don't mean to put Vasquez down, but I think we'd be fine with Aminu if we had more scoring from the 1 and 5. To me the 1 and 5 are bigger problems than Aminu. It would be nice though to sign a 3 that can score as a complimentary player, or if Porter is the best on the board, then that's fine too.

[NOLa.]

umm. "All-Star." It's everything that is wrong with the NBA.

Refs are scared to call fouls on stars.

and

Tanking.

Just a damn shame when it takes away from a good game. I can handle a loss. Hell, New Orleans fan since I could turn on the T.V. and watch my Saints get whooped game after game. But when refs step in, I lose interest.

[FlyGirl]

N/H... Dwight Howard had 39 free throw attempts tonight. My goodness.

U know whats cool about porter though? If he started over aminu, his offense would be better, it would make our team better by spacing the floor cuz people give aminu the 3 lol and also we wouldnt be losing anything defensively. Therefore Porter not only fits a position of need but makes the ENTIRE team better offensively without making it worse defensively. He's got my vote.

[Purple Haze]

assuming you're talking about Chief AFA

The one and only.

[UNO Gracias]

Aminu is a free agent this year, so yes, upgrading the sf position is a must before we work on upgrading the pg spot.

[HornetGuru]

Rivers can score, defend and pass, i would much rather a team next year with rivers at the PG and Porter at the SF than Burke at the PG and Aminu at the SF... Burke can make all the passes he wants to aminu, he isnt gonna hit squat.

we call that "the jason smith"

The rest of the season seems meaningless.

I may watch a few more games from here on out, but we are trash.

Me too, but Porter has to be available when we pick. So, let's see if it's even feasible.

[HornetGuru]

KEEP working up that trade value before the draft my little buddy eric gordon

[rt0307]

Jim Eichenhofer‏@Jim_Eichenhofer
Anthony Davis has scored 17, 18 and 20 points in his last three games, the most he's scored (55) in any three-game stretch as a pro

I think we got a keeper w/ this 1

Well there is no way we dont wind up with a top 5 pick in my opinion, and if mclemore, smart, porter, shabazz are gone I say without a doubt we draft Noel and sign a SF with all the money we have, maybe even 2 SF's, lets get corey brewer AND budinger, woohoo

[AD23forMVP]

I thought AD had 19 points?
