Duke's Rivers to enter NBA Draft

Good decision? Heck no! In my opinion. Horrible decision. And it is just my opinion. I did not see him play a whole lot but I did watch him some. So in MY OPINION not to smart. He just shot up the boards just because of that one shot against NC and was all over sportcenter on the biggest stage. But so many times I see him struggle to get his shot off. Stupid decision on his part.

SO TRUE!



Funny! But I do believe Kobe does try to pass. I think he should be more greedy actually. So reputations just stick with players. All because of the way he stood at the podium with those glasses on back at Lower Merion High School. (I think thats where it was) Looking like the cockiest thing alive and declaring for the NBA Draft.  I believe a player should be cocky. But it is one thing to be cocky and it is one the to let people see their cockiness.  And the way he shoes off the greats in all - star games back in the day. (Karl Malone) So he does deserve it. But I think he has changed and does not deserve it any more.

SO TRUE!

Kevin Love earned a Larry Bird comparison from Nuggets coach George Karl Sunday.

I admit I was one the Kevin Love cannot succeed at the next level band wagon. He just seemed to slow. But boy has he proven the doubters wrong. Just the other night he put up 51 and followed that up with a 30 point 21 rebound night. He is the real deal. Now if Luke Ridnour could just be a little more consistent they would be a team to be reckoned with. I have always thought Ridnour had a very high ceiling. I think he has the best handles in the league. He is just to inconsistent. This is his time though because Ricky Rubio is out for season and he needs to prove he is the guy. He has to convince me to though. I would give the job to Ricky. But if Ridnour can play more full throttle I would give it to him. They have some other nice pieces also. Martell Webster and Wayne Ellington are nice. Never really been a Michael Beasely fan and I would say Derrick Williams has played under par. Love is a solid piece to build around though. If Ridnour could just play out of his mind and Martell and Wayne are strokin their Jimmys then they would be hard to beat. In regards to George Karl's comparision to Larry Bird. That's dumb. Yes they are both white. Is that why you are comparing them, because love is good and is white so lets call him bird. Bird was a way better shooter and passer. I would think a Love and Barkley is a better comparision. Or maybe Love and the "Rifleman" Chuck Person.

IS JEREMY LIN FOR REAL?

YES! I would have to say he is. The Linsanity will fade. We know that. He was hot for a while. But when all that hotness settles you can bet your butt he steal getting minutes. He is a player. There are a lot of player that just need the opportunity and they would make the most of it. It's just a matter of getting that opportunity.
