Ok so march madness is just about here and it's that time of year where college kids make a name for themselves for the NBA draft! Warriors need a big man so I just want to highlight the kid from Kansas that I'm high on. Wayne Simien! 6'9 and 255 pounds of muscle. He's a freaking beast in the interior and averages a double double. As much as I like youngsters, it's always nice to take a senior and Simien has used his 4 years to hon his skills :D
Some other names to look at in the tourney is Duke's JJ Riddick. Very underrated player mainly because he is white but when a guy averages 22 a game and shoots over 40% from 3pt range, he can play. He's only a junior but he might go. His back court mate Daniel Ewing is a senior though. He's quick but undersized. He's more of a 2 guard than a pure point guard but he can break down the defense really well. A great slasher but needs to work on the outside game. I'd say he is 1st round material but could slip to the 2nd and getting an insurance guard is good.
Speaking on insurance guards, Kansas' senior PG Aaron Miles is Mr. clutch for them and averages 7 assist per game. Reminds me a lot of his predeseccor Hinrich, now with the Bulls but I don't expect Miles to be lottery, so maybe would be a nice 2nd round pick up.
And one last big name, Hakim Warrick of Syracus. Big time scorer and is a senior so he will be leaving. He'll be a lottery pick but I expect him to be an NBA 3 rather than a 4. But he's got lots of talent and if the Warriors get a top 5 pick, we could net him as trade bait or insurance :D Anyways, go March Madness! :woot: :woot:
ahh march madness that wonderful time of year when i go mad and bring out all the spare tvs out of the garage and live on the couch. anyone predicting any big upsets this time around? this i'm gonna be pretty screwed since i always pick pac10 in the first rounds (gotta rep my confrence, no matter how badly it jacks up my bracket) so call me crazy but UCLA's headin to the 16 over the 'zags. then they're gonna meet wake, and washington's gonna beat wake to get to the elite 8. Oh and in similar fashion the cardinal are gonna roll on duke in the 2nd round :crazy: well there goes my bracket.
-g out
haha, i have to pick my alma up to at least the sweet 16, so despite teh damage it's gonna do to my bracket i've got a ucla vs wake penciled in ^^. but serriously it's gonna take a miracle to get by t.tech. we play a dallas mavricks/phonix suns type defense (ie, as little as possible) without all that offensive power. but i believe in my team ^^ so my bracket will die with them.
-g out
I picked UCLA as an upset over Texas tech. Hec, I think I had them going into the sweet 16 and losing. Crap, maybe that's too much of a sleeper. But they sent me Regents Scholar opportunities the other day so I guess that's my only reasoning for picking their team that far :hehe: :hehe:
So what'd you guys pick as your final 4? I have Arizona, Duke, Wake, and Kansas.
hmm i think the chicago regional is gonna come down to a game between illi and probably oak st, but thats my head talking, my actual pick is 'zona's gonna roll on oaklahoma st AND illinios to get to the final 4. in Albuquerque i've got washington beating out wake, then there's UNC, with the performance chris may turned in against duke i'm gonna say he comes up big again against kansas and leads the heals forward. then finally in the Austin regional i would have picked the dukies, but i have them loosing to standford in the 2nd. I'm praying the card can come up with 1 miracle for me. but i've got syaracuse going to the final 4 from that region.
summary: wildcats, huskies, tarheals, and i guess the orangemen.

Nice! It'll be a good one. The Kings are a bit short handed but both teams play great against each other :D I am a GSW fan first then a Kings fan so these are my 2 teams I pull for.

I've been a Kings fan for a while, but used to enjoy rooting against Chris Webber. Now he's gone! :woot:
Kind of miss Vlade though, he was cool. :puppydog:

damn good game, watched the entire game, Warriors hung on to win the Kings, even after letting the big lead dwindle down to nothing. J. Richardson was the man tonight. He was on fire at times and scored big!! I think he is definitely as good as Kobe. But J. Richardson can only get better with time. With Baron Davis at the point, I think that the warriors have great potential next season as he gets healthy again. :applaud:
haha...yeah...well at least UCLA kinda put up a fight there for most of the game, the lakers just laid down and let wade run them over... if it had to happen i'm glad it was on st. pattys because i had enough guniess in me to ease the pain a bit.

ps. warriors might actually be getting good, and now i can't really hate the warriors, my boy b-diddy is back on the west coast, god i remember watching him play at poly, good times.
