    70% of the season is a steep learning curve... I hope he learned a lot, retains that information and applies it to next season. I think Burke is a good option but I want Austin as my starting PG.

    Rivers/Oladipo is my next choice.

    If AR can develop a mid-range jumper it's gonna be hard to guard him. The best thing Tony Parker did was develop that deadly mid-range jumper... he's so quick you have to play him for the drive, but that pull-up jumper from 15-17 is butter now.

    If Austin can add that shot to his game he's gonna be sick. He's already gotten the "runner" pretty much on lock. His 3 point shot was coming along as well. All he needs now is a mid-range game.

    I think he has good awareness and court vision to be a solid passer as well. He just needs more experience at the NBA level.

    Los Angeles Clippers.

    A Clipper is a long sailing ship from the 19th century. The team got its named after it moved to San Diego from Buffalo in 1979. San Diego is a very important port city and has been for centuries. Many Clipper ships from South America docked in San Diego and other California ports during the 1849 gold rush.
    What gets me is when people act like the name is supposed to be 'fierce', as though a pair of pants (Knickerbockers) or a piece of meshed fabric (Nets) is fierce.

    Yeah... Nuggets are big meanies... so are big meanies... The "Heat" can put a bad pretty burn on you, and Pistons, Pacers and wizards are known killers.

    I'm fine with that honestly. BUT:

    Rivers/GV
    Gordon/Henderson
    Porter/Aminu
    Ryno/Smith
    AD/Lopez

    Even better

    I'm not sold on the Ryno AD front court starting.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    we are really talking about the future in the team.

    2 things:

    1. I feel in 3 years when we are competing there won't be many true centers anymore.
    2. In 3 years I see AD being about 7ft 250

    That's what I'm saying. I'm not sold on it in the future.

    I don't think so... His release is so easy to block, it's pathetic.

    You can't take a set shot w Gordon unless he's wide open. Everything needs to be in motion. It's enraging and the reason I trade him every time. You can take it to the hold w him every time.

    I dont consider RYno a starter; Hes exactly the type of player I would want in the 6th man role.

    I agree. The way I run the offense, there isn't much drive and kick, it's more screens to setup shooters. I guess that's why my top 3 scorers are Davis with 24, Burke with 19, and Anderson with 18.

    I still get Gordon a lot of buckets of PnR. Davis is a beast on the OReb, but he's still getting push around on the defensive end. I've been developing his strength.

    He was a great starter for the Magic.

    Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

    Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
