Yeah they showed him getting hurt. Someone pretty much plowed into him and I couldn't really tell what happened to his foot. He didn't stay down on the court or look to be in too much pain and was able to walk off on his own without a noticeable limp.

John Wall is closing in on his first triple double. He is 2 rebounds away.

John Wall and Blake Griffin...that may be the best 1-2 rookie punch since Melo Bron

Hopefully he does the dougie for an hour after the game if he gets the 2 boards. Would like to hear Cowherd's rant about that tomorrow.

I usually don't have a problem with him. Most of his rants are pretty well right on, I just didn't really see the big deal with Wall dancing. The NBA is an entertainment league and Wall is going to provide that for a long time. He might not win a title in Washington, but he will be a very good player for a long time.

My only issue with Wall's dancing was that it lasted 218283 minutes.

18/9/12 with under 4 minutes to play for Wall. Oh yeah, 5 steals and only one turnover too.

His rants arent that bad. His voice is just so damn annoying and hes cocky as hell. I heard him the other day say something like "I'm what people should look like, I'm under 10% body fat...I'm what people wish their body looked like" gimme a break

Wall finished with 19/10/13/6. He became the 3rd youngest player with a triple double behind LBJ and Lamar Odom. He is 10 days younger that Magic was when he recorded his first, and Magic just so happened to be sitting courtside in Washington tonight.

Utah is about to finish off an impressive back to back at the Heat and now at Orlando. They were down big in both games and went on a 22-4 run tonight to get back in the game.

That line is stupid good for a rook.

Anyone hear Cowherd's rant about Duke being a better school than UNC? He said the only reason they are not an Ivy League school is because they are in NC. Whether or not they are, a caller called in and mentioned other schools Ohio Northern(another private school), CC mentions Duke being well known for Law and Medical, caller mentions Georgetown, and CC says something about Oregon State. The caller says that Georgetown and Ohio Northern both are number 1 in the nation in medicine and pharmacy......Cowherd's response? ....Click....Duke is a better school than UNC. I guess he felt defeated and had to hang up.
I expect him to be in love with Duke all college basketball season.

Yes it is. While Evan Turner looks like your standard 4th NBA option on a soon-to-be 2-6 Philadelphia squad. People actually considered Turner over Wall on here...
By the end of the year, I wouldn't be surprised if Eric Bledsoe > Evan Turner.

To be fair to Turner, he plays the same spot as Iguodala and Doug Collins is known for not being real big on giving rookies big minutes.

Which is exactly why he isn't worthy of a #2 pick.
What position does he play? More importantly, is there any position in the NBA you can see him being a consistent all-star at?
I can't, and as a Philly fan, all else aside (about how he was the last thing they needed and how they have built that roster), that's why I'm hating on the pick.

You wanted Cousins?

Definitely would've rather had Cousins. Especially after dealing Dalembert. Instead they have a bust in Spencer Hawes and a nightmare contract in Elton Brand. Speights isn't a true center, so yes, Cousins would have made more sense. However, so would a few other picks too.

Absolutely the fans should come out, but it is what it is. Miami has never really supported their NBA team in the regular season. It shouldn't be that big of a surprise to anyone.friendfromlowry;553137 wrote:Reason #1 is a huge crock of shit (no offense). You have one of the most intriguing teams in the history of the NBA and fans STILL dont bother caring? You think there isn't anything better to do in Los Angeles then go to a game? Similarly, you think the Lakers aren't getting everyone's best shot, yet they're still undefeated. I know everyone wants to beat the Miami Heat, ESPN's poster child for BEST TEAM IN THE UNIVERSE EVER, but, I'm sure the three-time champs are getting everyone's best shot also.
And LA has 4 million people, Miami has 400,000. Just a horrible argument.

I loved Turner in college, but I've said it before, I wouldn't have touched him inside the top 7. He is maxed out as a player and I just don't see much more potential. He'll never be a great shooter, he'll always be a little too slow for his position and an average athlete. Some actually argued he should go #1, which is unreal. This will turn out being a very good draft class Philadelphia will regret that pick.

Florida has never supported any team other than college football. Its a joke of a state far as fan bases go.

Very well might be, but this is a pretty deep draft class. Other impressive rookies include:Hb31187;553193 wrote:John Wall and Blake Griffin...that may be the best 1-2 rookie punch since Melo Bron
Eric Bledsoe
Landry Fields
Demarcus Cousins
Derrick Favors
Other than Fields, I think all of those guys could be perennial all stars.
