Real Deal

Wow man, a layup right in Gasol's face, and he didn't even jump. Not even on a drive, either...and J-Rich, of all people.

I HATE Pau Gasol. At least Howard is playing defense tonight. Gasol isn't doing a damn thing, like always.

Kobe, Nash and Hill the only guys playing on the offensive end...Kobe the only one trying to score the ball, really. Howard and Gasol a combined 2-13.

Good AND bad players have gone for that price over the years, unless I'm misunderstanding you. For all of the big-time QB's that go broke once they are drafted early (JaMarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, Joey Harrington, Tim Couch), you get a Tom Brady, Doug Flutie, Kurt Warner, Warren Moon, Rich Gannon, Mark Brunell, Matt Hasselbeck...and the list goes on. If I'm the Chiefs, and I can't make a trade to land Cousins with ANYTHING else on the roster (in an effort to do that AND keep the #1 pick), I'm going to deal that pick for Cousins. Is Geno Smith, Matt Barkley, or Mike Glennon a safer bet than Cousins right now? I'm not even going to bring up Collin Klein, or any other QB that could be in this upcoming draft. Kansas City will most definitely select a QB, so that's basically all I'm asking.

LOL, yes.

So you'd take one of the QB's from the draft over Cousins?

Bosh with the sideways fadeaway that hits the side of the backboard...should have taken the 18-footer there. Overtime!

McRoberts fouled LeBron in the act of shooting...but the ref called it as a foul before the shot. Oops. Tied up, game-winner time? Ray Allen?

Vucevic with 19 points and 27 rebounds, lol...what the hell? Miami's defensive rotations are pretty bad.

Right, but at least he came out and gave us NFL fans a game-winning drive, and then won his first full game of his career. It's not much, but it's more than any QB in the draft has done. So I guess the big question is, do you take Cousins, or go with someone like Smith, and hope that he's not a JaMarcus Russell? Not that he plays like Russell, though...lol. Makes sense, but why not trade Cousins for a top 5-10 draft pick if it's in reach? You're not going to see Cousins for at least 75% of the season, anyway (assuming that RG3 isn't injury-prone his entire career).

Should be fixed.

I honestly don't know. I mean, at the time, they were down double-digits...so I'm assuming it was because of that? I didn't see anything on the court that would have pissed him off that much.

LeBron is pissed off. Ray Allen is freaking out on him, lol...just tried to calm him down, and Bron acted like Ray was a Cleveland Cavaliers fan.

Final regular season standings: http://i45.tinypic.com/2n9kfg6.jpg It's been an up-and-down season, fellas. Good luck in the playoffs. Got me nervous, Warren.

A lot of Chiefs fans in the area are thinking Collin Klein, which is funny to me. They are just saying it because he's coming out of K-State. Warren, would you trade the #1 pick in the draft for Cousins, if you were KC? They are likely drafting a QB, anyway.

So many teams need QB's, and Washington knew they'd be drafting a starter-level QB to stick behind RG3 until he's dealt for a high pick and/or great player(s), so what teams in the NFL should be focused on landing Cousins?

Nah, I wasn't saying he doesn't deserve it, just saying it's a reach to say he'll win because Peterson and Manning are two offensive players who have carried their team like no other (and it helps that both came back from significant surgeries).

They were trying to make an argument for JJ Watt during the Houston game, but I just don't see how he'd be able to rack up the votes against a QB and a RB that basically carried their team. Only two defensive players have won the MVP in league history: Alan Page and LT. Huge reach, if you ask me. I'd give it to Peterson, but I think Manning will land the award.

Don't feel sorry for him, at all. At first, I figured he was telling the truth about Houston not making attempts to help him out, but now, I'm regretting ever defending the guy.
