Re: 2014 NBA Draft

He is a gamble that teams with multiple 1sts would take, or a good team that is willing to develop him. While you could sign him in 4 years, you also would hold his RFA rights and could sign him for another 3-4 years really cheap. Exactly. You don't plan on signing a guy in 4 years if you can draft...

Re: 2014 NBA Draft

I have a tough time seeing Harris ever being an impact player. I have no idea why he's been talked about as a lottery pick for the last year or so. Suns better not draft him. I like Hood a bit more. I don't see him ever being a great defender or a huge scorer but his size and skill at least gives hi...

Re: 2014 NBA Draft

DraftExpress always looks better because of how bad nbadraft.net is and how Ford is never close to the truth until the days just before the draft, but I think they're pretty bad, too. Suns taking Harris ahead of Lavine? Gordon drops to 10? I don't see this stuff happening. Maybe I'm wrong. As for Em...

Re: World Cup 2014

The burden of playing with a lead, which sounds funny, but makes sense in context, put a lot of pressure on forward players to play 4 on 8 or 3 on 6. No one was going to overlap from a back wing and possibly get caught on a counterattack against a very quick team. I get this but it was like we neve...

Re: World Cup 2014

Ghana deserves credit for controlling the pace and JK's formation helped limit how Ghana could attack our defense but at the same time we played nearly 90 minutes of passive ball when I think we could have been better served attacking a bit more. Not sure this was a JK victory. Howard and Brooks sav...

Aside from the early Dempsey goal and a great job by Howard, that was a bad half. If Ghana gets it together just a little bit and US keeps playing like this it will not end well.

Give me last year's lineup with RHJ off the bench. We were defensive gods last year, and a no doubt title team with a healthy BAsh IMO. This year will be good but it won't be as good defensively. Still good enough for a title run, though.
