Its been well known that John Wall is a club rat. He always tweets pics of himself in the club.

Barnes isnt a fluid athlete. He has the measurables with speed and leaping ability and the size, but he is very stiff. His handles arent the best, and he cant create for himself off the dribble. It was why his freshman year was a disaster until Larry Drew transferred and Kendall Marshall stepped into the starting line up. Barnes could be a good catch and shoot guy, and could be a good defender with adequate work and focus tho. But "the next Kobe Bryant" stuff he had coming out of HS is never going to happen. I recall me and you having a 'discussion' about Barnes, and you definitely came across as being a lot more than "I wasnt in love." Drummond should be starting in Detroit. I dont understand why he isnt considering how bad they are but I liked him more than all of our other realistic options except MKG. Young athletic bigs with actual strength>>>> I kept saying the problem with him last year was Calhoun's illness letting him down, not his play. there isnt any actual correlation tho. They are all in different situations.

or 6 months ago when I said it and you shot me down (altho I dont trust this organization with bigs) Barnes aint gon be anything special in the NBA. You need to let that dream go. I do not see the correlation.

i just threw it out there, tbh. Stress fractures usually take 3 months to heal from, then add on Wizards medical staff incompetence, so I am going with February.

so we wont be seeing Wall until February. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wizards-insider/wp/2012/12/07/wizards-remain-uncertain-about-john-walls-return/ The Wizards medical staff does it again.

The motion offense didnt work in college after a while and all that sweating is not going to make millionaires happy to sit beside you. Stay in the studio and STFU. I knew Feinstein was pushed to write that article because Gary's legit interested. These sports writers are clowns.

nah, Floyd has always had faster hands than Pac. Pac has a little more pop in his punches tho.

Floyd would have beaten Pacquiao 3 or 4 years ago also. People act like Floyd is younger than Pacquiao. A younger, faster, quicker Floyd? I actually give Pacquiao a better chance than before based on what I saw in the Cotto fight.

of course, its why I keep saying that Roach is an overrated trainer. His fighters only fight one way, and he makes them fight one way, and they all lose the same way. There is no reason Khan to be a straight ahead fighter like Roach made him when you consider the physical abilities he has. Khan should be a great counterpuncher, but he Roach had him fighting like Pac. Combo, step back. Combo, step back, combo step back. And Pacquiao only looks spectacular against straight ahead fighters. If he doesnt overwhelm you, and you counterpunch him, you will stay in the fight and score points.

good lord, I wont even bother with this. Pacquaio and Roach cant overcome that because they dont know how. Roach doesnt teach fighting any other way and Pacquiao cant fight any other way. I expect the same thing to happen on Saturday, but I also expect Pacquaio to win a decision because Marquez cannot KO him. I really dont know the point of this fight.

when did he do that before? I know Manny has promoted his future fights the same week Floyd was fighting.

they asked him a question, and he answered it honestly.

he is right tho. They BOOED Jordan Crawford's 4th quarter free throws.

im probably alone, but I thought that was weird. (saw it live)

I think Shabazz is good, but not sure he is a franchise changer. But if you want to blame someone for their struggles, blame Ben Howland and that archaic offense he runs. Its happened with all of his teams at UCLA. Those guys end up being better NBA players than college players because they are free.

Cotto will probably fight Canelo because, like you said, thats how boxing works. Cotto is still a name, and its another one of those on Alvarez's notch. Trout was VERY impressive tonight. I dont think Cotto is that old, and even if I disagree with the final card (the margin, not hte victor), Trout showed me a lot of tactical acumen in this fight. In fact, this fight was very enjoyable because of how tactical the fight was. I would love to see Trout v. Canelo, but that wont happen.

I started watching Arsenal since the Henry came, tbh. So thats 12 years. I know the history of the club and all that, but from what ive witnessed this is the worst.

worst Arsenal team Ive ever seen

ok lets talk about the final seconds. Why didnt Wittman just have the Wizards take the ball under the basket, and baseball pass it to the other side of the court. Any touch ends the game. Wittman is so poor, but we won so lets dance.

this is incredible, but not unbelievable

Zeller looks like a player, altho those gator arms do concern me. McAdoo, not so much.... in... between... er. In fact UNC looks like basura this year. A secret no one wants to talk about, UNC havent had an all star player enter the NBA since 1998... good chance im going to the game tomorrow. I have a feeling we could win and Damien Lillard looks like a baller.
