Real Deal

I DID NOT WANT A $10,000 BEST BUY GIFT CARD ANYWAY.

Agreed. Harden has star potential. It's hard to say he'll ever be an all-star, but it would only be due to a limited role OR the fact that there are way too many all-star level guards in the NBA.

Baylor has to win this, for me. I'm at 99.9% on ESPN's challenge, and I looked through a TON of brackets above me and noticed I'm the only one that has a perfect Final Four at this point...and I have Baylor winning the entire thing, which is key because very few above me have it as well. The others that have Baylor winning it all have at least one or two already knocked out of their four, which ruins them once we get to that stage. I went from 20,000th (around there) to 7,000 in one day of games. It's a long shot, but if I go perfect the rest of the way, statistically, I can be ahead of most everyone else. http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en/util/setSelectedEntry?entryID=6309452 This guy below is right there with me, but he can really hit rock bottom if UNC loses. http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en/entry?entryID=5957444

Haha, well, I hope you have UNC in your Final Four, then. For me, it's Johnson or bust. Today's game is his time to shine. Robinson has to go big, also, as one of the best players in college basketball...but Johnson can be a star, and this is where it starts.

This is going to lead me to sell OTR. I can see it coming. Closed.

Syracuse has to go down tonight. It's all about Kansas now, and I am sick and tired of seeing KU get lit up behind the three-point line all game OR during important scoring runs. I'm just not so sure I like the physical play of OSU, seems like KU gets caught trying to match it from their opponents rather than play smart ball, and it gives us trouble. Ugh...really, I'm undecided. :wallbash3: Kansas is so inconsistent, I'm not really sure how much we can take advantage of Fab's absence. Still have OSU moving on in my brackets, though...based strictly on what I think will happen.

I have Florida creeping into the Final Four in my bracket...but honestly, I need Louisville to win, because I really don't think Florida can take out Kentucky. Not really sure if Louisville can get the job done, either, but I'd take the team that is more likely to stop Kentucky from scoring, rather than the team that will try and outscore them in some offensive onslaught.

You would think, lol. I pulled the image from ESPN, though.

Ramon Sessions is a beast...20 PTS, 11 AST, 6 REB on 6-10 FG tonight. I'm so glad we acquired him.

Gave it some small edits and moved it into the General NBA forum. The move was mainly because the topic itself was far more about the top 15 picks than it was about the Toronto Raptors (especially since the Raps pick remained the same).

Changed a few banners. http://www.otrbasketball.com/banners/Cavaliers.jpg http://www.otrbasketball.com/banners/Warriors.jpg http://www.otrbasketball.com/banners/Bucks.jpg http://www.otrbasketball.com/banners/Lakers.jpg http://www.otrbasketball.com/banners/Wizards.jpg If they look the same to you, you'll have to hit the refresh button on your browser (or F5).

LOL...definitely intentional. Leading with your shoulder, like a safety blindsiding a receiver in the 70's, that's absolutely what went through Jason Smith's mind.

Yeah dude. Bynum is awesome, but his attitude really ruins it for me, when he gets upset and loses control. If Pau was more aggressive on the offensive end, if he had that killer instinct, he would be up there as well. Right now, it's Kobe...and then Goudelock. Sessions falls third, at least for me. It's sad that Goudelock isn't getting the minutes I want him to get, but that's just the way things work, and I understand why.

McGee won the game vs. Detroit tonight...lol. Can't believe it.

Ben Gordon drops 45 points, hits nine threes (doesn't miss one), and even more mind-blowing...JaVale McGee wins the game. :o http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120321_DET@DEN
