Hey. Can you folks do all of us Denver fans a favor and beat Utah tonight?

Thanks in advance.

Can't do you that favor? We're trying not to lose by 20 pts.

Not gonna happen, amigo. We're trying to lose and sneak by the Knicks for the #5 pick.

Besides, i dont think we have a choice in the matter. I think we're starting either brevin knight or dickau at the point. Utah has these guys named Deron Williams and Boozer who are playing against D-Leaguers Dickau, Smush and Powell.

On behalf of Jazz fans, I'd like to counter the request from the Denver fans. We need these wins, especially given the fact that everyone above the Jazz keeps winning.

Shouldn't the denver fan want Dallas or G.S to lose? They're in the 7 and 8 spot

Why isn't this Curry from Davidson the guard to get in the draft? He torches everyone in the NCAA's. Only a sophmore now but I imagine he's done after the tournament.

According to Chad ford draft machine, We draft Anthony Randolph. Who is he? OJ going number 3.

Don't know on that. OJ Mayo is OK but no way in hell is he going number three unless this draft is weak beyond belief.

Ok, today is one of the biggest games for the Clippers. If they lose today both mephis and NY will be 1 loss back. Clippers have a good shot at the 4th slot.

Word is that Bayless is not going pro, could be problematic of the clips getting mayo

Besides picks 1 and 2 I've seen all different combinations and maybe being drafted from 3 to 8. One site has the clippers taking Danilo Gallinari, that sounds right.

We need to trade up or do something to get Rose. That guy will be a phenomenal pro.

Rose or Curry from Davidson are the two best bets for the Clippers.

Rose would be pretty nice,,,,we can still get lucky in the lottery...anyway memphis and minni are playing better

We need to get ROSE. Somehow, someway, we gotta try to trade up for him. This guy is F'n phenomenal. No doubt.

See you guys courtside tomorrow night.

Stupid Knicks, Why can't you win to pass us in the standings?!

Dan S wrote:

I haven't seen either of them play much except during the tourney, but from what I have seen I think Rose will have a much better pro career than Curry. Curry should probably stay in college another year and try to prove that he can play point guard.

Sorry guys, Gilbert will take a salary cut to stay in Washington or go to Lakers, Dallas...

Gilbert Arenas said before Sunday's game that he's willing to sign for less money this summer if it will help the team retain all-star forward Antawn Jamison, who will be a free agent.

How much less in Arenas willing to take?

"That depends on what Antawn wants," Arenas said with a chuckle. "We've been together six out of my seven years so we have an understanding. We know what's in jeopardy so, you know, I told him whatever he wants, give it to him and I'll take the pay cut. I know what he does. He's a part of my success and I'm a part of his success so we have this one-two combination that works in this league. We know we make each other better. Someone has to sacrifice. This might be one of his last contracts so I'll sacrifice and hopefully I'll get another at the end of the day and if I don't, I know I did the right thing." -- The Washington Post

That's bad news, but it's still all talk, and maybe Antawn doesn't want to stay.

Clippers basically killed any hopes of the playoffs next year by beating Memphis yesterday. I dunno why you're talking about Rose. And Curry wouldn't go in the top 10 picks.

Oh, and Curry says he's gonna stay

I would happily trade this year's pick plus next year's pick for the #2 pick to get Rose.

he may be as good as Chris Paul .. alas, the clippers have ZERO luck, so we'll get stuck with a nice player rather than a superstar at 5 or 6.

By the Way...went to Chalk Talk after the memphis game-- dunleavy really convinced me that they are trying to win. He seemed genuine, even though lawler was brownnosing him too much...

good times ahead...

Yeah, Dunleavy is a good talker for sure. He was able to talk himself to an unbelievable contract. Players quoted in the paper say he's really good and x and os too. And I'm sure he is.

Problem is he's never delivered anywhere, and they should have had a lot more wins earlier in the season.

He can probably win any argument you throw at him, but at game time he's always out coached and never adjusts his game plan.

men....i was happy with that 4-0 start....wish we would have started 0-4 now xD

Mr. FireDunleavy.com... why dont you give us a few examples of what you may do different during the course of a game.

I dont really remember THAT many times where he's outcoached. Remember, 2 or 3 of his best players have been out ALL YEAR... stop being shallow and give us some insight.

Otherwise, it's just boring.

By outcoached I ment his whole career.

This year he just couldn't motivate them. Why didn't thorton get more mins earlier. The Clippers have way to much talent to have that record. And last year they missed the playoffs, having almost the same team that went to the 2nd round.

excellent insight. i rest my case.

We've gone over the examples a million times on this message board. Do I really need to bring up the Lakers 17 point comeback in the playoffs, or putting in Daniel Ewing again?

yes, he's a terrible coach because Raja Bell made a GREAT shot and because the Blazers lost to the eventual 3-time champion lakers.

ACD, tell me, what exactly do you see that MD does well ??

It's comical to me how you continue to assert that MD is a great coach, and worth the $$ he makes for the job he does.

So go ahead and spout your less than infinite wisdom about what he does right, and the rest of us will be more than happy to let you know when he continues to f*ck things up.

just read a really funny book called “Foul Lines,” by SI hoops writers Jack McCallum and Jon Wertheimer, and I thought my fellow Clips fans would enjoy it. It’s a great satire of the NBA today, with the names changed to protect identities (but it’s very easy to figure out who is who). It takes place in LA (the team is called the "Lasers"), so there's some funny LA-related stuff too, with the wild drivers and the pretentious trendy clubs. Everyone gets mocked, from rich owners in the mold of
