steelers reach for a tackle.

the steelers used to be good at this drafting thing.  not for a while.

There are a bunch left, i wouldn't. It would cost a ton too.

i agree.

get dani dennis sutton or lt overton or someone like that.  especially if youre not looking for speed rushers.  other teams dont value pocket crushers like the lions do.

i'll take an average to above average right tackle for the next decade, especially if he's a beast in the run game and a great teammate like miller is supposed to be.

the only guy with better measurables if freeling.  mauigoa, and fano, and lomu, and even proctor could end up as guards give their arm length.

I' m still thinking of that game Atlanta beat us. They were hitting a lot of shots and it looked like they matched up pretty well against us. But it looks like if we face them, in would be in the East Finals. So yeah, beat Orlando first.

cleveland obliterated us this year a few times.

Do the lions trade back into the first to get their edge?  

i'd rather listen to george blaha read the phone book than have to sit through candace parker and dwyane wade call a game.

"Alan Anderson!....Bradley Anderson!!  AND IT COUNTS!"

even after kwame leaves, the vikings still dont know how to draft.

How about Toronto?

either toronto or atlanta before cleveland.

the only team in the east i'm more worried about than cleveland is boston.

let's just beat orlando first.

wait, wait, WAIT A MINUTE!  

are you telling me that its just a coincidence that the BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE is also the lions' biggest position of need??????

no way.  brad only drafts pure bpa.  lol.

i'd much rather play atlanta than cleveland.

we match up better with atlanta.

look at that last play.  kat sets a **** screen and then just overs aimlessly around the line.  he doesnt tey to get open, he doesnt crash to the basket, he just floats.

i get the brunson ball hog talk.  he IS  a ball hog and isnt as good as in the past, especially against a team like the hawks with good wing defenders, but kat refuses to take charge.  ESPECIALLY when the game is on the line.

blake miller.

love it.

If he is being passive, sure.  But when aggressive there isn't a more talented scoring big in the league other than Jokic.  

watch this 4th quarter.  kat's just standing there in the corner.  when mcbride or brunson have the ball.

Bain or Freeling, who you taking?

freeling.  plenty of DE's later in the draft who can crush a pocket.

wait....what?

Great hire for Milwaukee IMO.  But I'm shocked he didn't wait.  You know one or two playoff teams will end up firing their coach and those jobs will probably be better than the Bucks job.  Orlando being one of them if they fire Mosley.  But what do I know.

 

billy donovan just hit the market.  he'll be orlando's first call.

another big possibility is the knicks.  mike brown could be out real quick if they get bounced in rounds 1 or 2 and someone with donovan's resume is available (overrated resume, imo, but a resume nonetheless).

milwaukee is a poisoned chalice.  theyre going to dump giannis and be bad for a while.

"this is something i didnt think i would have to be talking about."

you dont have to talk about it.  you chose to go on tv and talk about it because theyre paying you a lot of money.

Disagree on Duren...he's been a focal point of Orlando's defense for a reason.

I'm not entirley convinced he's completely  healthy right now...since his knee injury he does not look as explosive off the floor as he was prior to that...I suspect he might be playing through a nagging injury.  Nonetheless..he's made strides in a number of areas this year, including his ability to make passes off the double team when they collapse.

 

1) it doesnt matter what happens this year because theyre going to pay duren.  hope for continued growth.

2) i'm not sure they are focusing more on duren than just packing the lane because the pistons cant shoot, and taking away the pick and roll.  that's not "focusing on duren" to me and rather focusing on taking away a huge part of DETROIT'S offense.  you can say that's just as much focusing on cade.

the dofference being cade is able to do other things.  duren is only able to roll to the basket and get lobs from cade.  he cant create his own shot.  he cant score when other teams set out to stop the pistons pick and roll.

3) if they really are "focusing on duren", it shows how easy it is to stop him.  as opposed to cade.  to me that shows duren as a replaceable player, not an irreplaceable max contract player.

Not to instill panic, but Charlie Campbell is reporting the trade up target may be Proctor.

proctor's got issues.  no thank you.

I think they should now know who needs to get paid (ausar) and who needs to have someone else pay them (duren).

Some on/off numbers for individuals.  These are per/100 possessions.

Cade - +38.7

Duren - +1.4

Harris - +1.6

Robinson - +16

Green - -0.3

Thompson - +37.3

Stewart - -11.6

Jenkins - -26

 

seems right except for stew's minus 11.  but that could be garbage time and him being saddled with playing too many minutes with jenkins.

I will say about UC, gotta be careful there. My wife and I are both from Toledo - she went to Ohio U and I went to Dayton. We both had friends that went to UC. One of her friends walked out of a dorm one night and a van pulled up, 2 guys got out, threw her in the back. Luckily they just drove her to an ATM and made her get cash out and dropped her off down the road. Most people I know that went to UC have stories like this or know someone else that does. It may have improved since we were in school, but I am pretty sure that is still a pretty dangerous area. 

yikes.

same thing here with loyola and depaul.  girl just got murdered at loyola.

Roll Tide.

that campus is ridiculous.

i wonder if they will come out and aggressively trap the whole game next time?  especially when cade is off the floor.

still nothing from duren.  he's so dependent on cade for any offense.  i bet if paul reed played his minutes with cade, he'd put up similar numbers.

good to see duncan get going.

cadd is the whole team, but ausar is the straw that stirs the drink.  makes them go on defense.  him and stew.

i want apologies from all the daniss jenkins uber fans.  he's a nice story, but he cant hang when the other team turns up the heat.  getting another ball handler at the deadline would have been nice.  there were plenty available.

what's wrong with isiah's eyes?
