LOL and right on cue Evan Turner goes 9-12 from the floor last night, 1-1 from three, and drops 23 points. Apparently Turner didn't get the memo that you're not allowed to improve WHILE you're in the NBA.

a one game sample size? LMAO!!!!
Nice try chick.....:haha:haha:haha
EDIT: going into last night...he was 8 for 30...and his season average is barely above 7 points a game....

OK in your world he's not allowed to improve in one game. Got it.

LMAO!!! WHERE are you reading this from??!! WHERE did I ...oh wait...let me quote you....
LOL!
Moving on...
Apparently the KG got hurt last night, hopefully it is not something that will keep him out for a long time. According to ESPN:

He made me look stupid, that's for sure.
on occasion... don't go by one game... the guy barely averages 7 points a game. Wait till he starts doing it on a consistent basis....
It's not about last night...the point is that there is nothing conclusive that says Turner staying in school another year would make him a better NBA player. Chances are he can learn more playing against the best competition in the world than he can by dominating college one more year.
It's just silly to say with any authority that Turner made a bad decision coming out when he did. He was the second overall pick. And that's not even mentioning his contract.

I knew very little of Evan Turner, so I looked him up and see that he was the #2 overall pick this year and that he signed a four year, $21 million contract contract, with the first two years guaranteed for over $9 million. He also signed a lucrative endorsement deal with a gigantic Chinese sporting goods manufacturer which has laid low in the US up to now, but is counting on Turner to help it challenge Nike and others.
So Turner is now set for life, whereas he could have been derailed by a career ending injury if he played one more year of college ball, and he is actually increasing his career earnings by more like $20 million because he will now likely have one more year of "max" salary than he would have otherwise. I think he would have been crazy to spend one more year in college.

Not any more. Celts and Mavs now project to 63.5 wins each, Spurs to 72. What happens to Spurs if Duncan gets injured? They don't have four capable centers, like the Celtics do.
Fans often talk of teams making sure that they get "healthy for the playoffs", but there is no way to do that. Injuries happen when they happen and heal when they heal. There isn't any known strategy for frontloading them.

The NBA champion needs alot of skilled players, cohesiveness and more than ANYTHING......luck! A lucky break in injuries, a lucky break here and there in calls and a lucky break in the schedule.
Spurs 115, Knicks 128
Statement game for Knicks. They believe they have arrived.
Three of the Knicks last four wins have come against teams with winning records: Oklahoma City, Chicago, and now San Antonio.

And more scarily, the Magic's 19-1 record over their most recent 20 games would project to 78-1 over a whole season.
