Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

midget---working for free as a blazer scout

is there a better time of the year than this when our blazers miss the playoffs.  College ball on all day on more than one television, cigarettes, coffee, etc... and a lottery pick.  So far, Brandon Rush from Kansas reminds me of Brandon Roy (senior, injury, attempted to enter the draft previously, does many things well, nothing super), does he have it in the head though...we'll find out.  Derrick Rose will be a stud but i don't forsee us even having the possibility of drafting him, so i'll leave him for the coaching staff.  OJ Mayo is tough, plays D and is a team player.  He's willing to take the big shot, which is something Roy has been shying away from lately (what, with the weight of the team on his shoulders this whole year, i don't blame him), Tyler Hansbrough will be a decent role player this year (where theres a will theres a way)...R Westbrook may need another year to be an immediate impact, but Mcmillian would like him,,,maybe love him (ala jack). Last year i was a big fan of DCollison but his sure still looks awkward (better than last year).  ...Why does everyone pencil in RudyF when we haven't really seen a thing?  Don't get me wrong, I think us fans will love him, but will coach?  (who should-and will-let go of the reins eventually and let the guys play much like he did during our 13game (media adoring) win streak..sergio is still my favorite player (keep it up SergioFTW--I think thats what it is)..i don't care for Beasley, he doesn't fit our "culture").  Dj Augustine may be too small to be a star, but he can ball).  KLove should stay in school and be one of the best college players of all time.  My Pick---UCLA

I'm pretty sure a lot of ya'll do the same thing, the draft is a top5 day in the summer even when we're good (not good enouogh).  I will never demand we draft a certain player again (get well soon Adam Morrison),,,,Oden's mohawk makes him a little less marketable which makes him a little more portland.

UCLA/Stanford
What a game.  Darren Collison was getting to the rim at will and really led his team.  My only concern is his long range shooting and him getting injured a lot b/c he is so small.

Brook Lopez looks like a solid top 10 pick, but we probably wouldn't pick him cuz we got enough centers :)  His brother Robin isn't as good, but could still be a solid NBA player.  Kind of like a more athletic Pryzbilla with better hands.

Kevin Love was hurting from back spasms the whole game, so he wasn't playing his best.  He still did decent in grabbing boards and making some nifty passes.  I wouldn't pick him for the Blazers cuz he isn't athletic enough.  He carries all his weight in his mid section and he doesn't jump very well.  

Josh Ship reminds me of Carmelo Anthony in that he is a pretty good scorer but doesn't do much else for you.

Travis Outlaw drops the sledgehammer on Daequan Cook for a dunk so vicious, it's illegal in 48 states.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
