Would Minny be a fit for Ramon Sessions?

It would fit, but I’m not sure what Minny could give for him. Beasley seems like too much (could be wrong on that, feel free to correct me), and the only draft pick they have for next year is OKC’s 2nd round…so that could be #60.

Malcolm Lee was recalled yesterday, before the Laker game, he’s coming off a torn meniscus in his left knee. If I remember correctly, he’s the only “natural 2″ on the team, but still averaged 6 assists in the D-league. So he could be helpful while Barea’s gone again.

First Cowherd, now Bilas. Pretty impressive work by ESPN PR neutering a once independent sports blog into writing puff pieces on two of its biggest “personalities”. Brilliant work, really.
Access is a powerful incentive.

I’d say we’re still pretty balanced.

Chief, I think they can but it will be tough if Barea can’t stay healthy.

NC State got absolutely hosed by the refs. Kendall Marshall got away with a blatant charge on the go-ahead basket, and the State shooter was mugged on his final shot. ACC doing everything possible to set up a UNC / Duke championship game.

Reggie, am I crazy to think Luke (along with Pek, Love, Williams, etc. doing their thing) playing the way he has been can still make them an 8-seed? I was thinking 5-7 seed with Rubio.

Only caught the final minute, was officiating that awful all the way through?

I only caught the last 10 minutes. It was sort of iffy, but nothing like the end of the game. NC State is playing for their lives to get into the Tourney and their needed to be better reffing at the end.

Oh, and NC State shouldn’t have needlessly turned it over a couple times.

30 on the front nine for McIlroy. But Bubba’s not giving any ground.

Nada I was just commenting on Rory’s round. Best scenario they end up 3rd/4th at end of day and are paired together tomorrow.

/OT

Jesus, I’m trying to watch Doral, and the coverage again is all “Tiger, Tiger, Tiger!” Even though McIlroy is shooting lights out and Bubba is burning it up as well.
It’s like ESPN’s NASCAR coverage, which has become “All Danica, all the time.” I know it’s all about ratings and page hits, but Jesus.
