    umm..Well the rooks on my squads in Greg Oden, well know about him, he's out with a hurt foot, rudy fernandez gonna be good and Batum,hopefully Nate gives him more PT.

    On the Wizards side..Eddie Jordan usually dont play rookies so, I highly doubt I'll see Javale Mcgee, even though I think he should be playing, because right now he's already better then Blatche.

        Yeah he had a nice game. Ironically enough we drafted him and traded him to Miami for some cash lol.

            Darrell Arthur had a solid game off the bench for the Grizz the other night. 11 points, 15 boards and 2 blocks in 27 minutes. I expect him to take Darko's starting spot soon enough.

            And Marc Gasol did pretty good too. 12 and 12.

              17 pts, 8 boards, 7 dimes is more impressive, IMO.

                Im interested in seeing how CDR from Memphis now on the nets plays. He is extemely underrated and i think as a 2nd round pick he will make teams soryy they didnt pick him in the 1st round..hes a beast.

                  It is, but he did it in 36 minutes. Thompson did it in 22.

                    Rose looked good albeit nervous. 11 pts, 9ast, 3 stls, and I think 5 TO's

                    He turned the ball over the first time he had possesion of it. I think alot of it was opening night jitters and the fact he was playing in front of his hometown...still, he ran the point pretty well and created alot of chances, which is tough for a rookie.

                      Rose, Thompson, Chalmers, and Love all looked good.

                      Here is Love's stat line: 19 Minutes, 5-8, 2-2 FT, 4 ORB, 5DRB, (9RB) 2 AST, 1 STL, 2 BLK, 2 TO, 12 PTS.

                      He made a lot of hustle plays that you would not see in the box score. Overall he quieted a lot of doubts I had about him.

                        Batum is showing what he can do tonight against the Spurs, and I'm impressed.

                          I've seen Love a couple times now. Once live. He's not going to be much of an NBA player. Maybe a roll player. He's very slow and about as quick as a snail. He might be a heady player, but I just don't see him having the enough ability. We'll see.

                          I still think they should have stayed with Mayo. I understand the trade... they got some $$$ relief, got a ready now player in Mike Miller... but with that pick in the draft you don't pick a slow, tall white guy. Look at the last 20 years... find me a tall white guy that's been good enough to have an impact, albeit, basically being a top 3 pick. With a top 3 pick you choose a guy might be an all-star, not a career reserve.

                          I believe love is capped on where he's going. He's a college PF and that's his ceiling from what I've seen. We'll see.... being from Minneapolis, it was a very hard day hearing they got rid of Mayo. All the guys and I were very excited..... then the next day... BOOM... Kevin Love.

                            ^ Love couldn't have asked for a better situation than the one in Minny with him playing along side Big Al. It would have not been pretty if he stayed in Memphis.

                              J.J. Hicksons first NBA bucket was #1 on Sportcenters top plays...a nasty two hand on Okafors head. Mike Brown says he still makes alot of mistakes though, and he probably won't get much PT.
