Mike Rice is a Pessimist...

This is a segment of Trailblazers Homecourt via Casey's blog. Mike Rice predicts 47 wins tops (around what I said, 45) and says that expectations of 55 wins are unreasonable.

The Bulls Made the Wrong Pick and Other Ironclad Conclusions from Orlando Summer League

jksnake99 — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 04:45:23 -0000

In case you missed it, the Bulls and Heat faced off in the Orlando Summer League today (Box Score). The Heat won easily, 94-70. Beasley had an impressive 28 and 9 in 23 minutes while Rose had 10 points, 4 assists and 5 turnovers in 28 minutes. So, we can draw the conclusion that the Bulls clearly blew the pick. End of story. Former Blazer draftees Tyrus Thomas (12 pts, 10 reb, 6 fouls) and Demetrius Nichols are playing for the Bulls.

In other news, Team Oklahoma City (yes, that is what they are being called) lost handily to the Pacers, 95-78 (Box Score ). OKC was led in scoring by Jeff Green (21 pts) and Russell Westbrook (18).

Finally, the Nets defeated the host Magic, 86-74 (Box Score). Sharpshooter Jaycee Carroll (the NCAA's 3 pt % champ last year) led the Nets with 22 points and surprisingly didn't hit a 3. Chris Douglas-Roberts had 15 while the pac-10 tandem of Ryan Anderson and Brook Lopez had 14 and 10 respectively. Yuta Tabuse, the only Japanese NBA player ever, is playing for New Jersey.

rumor: Denver turns down 'Melo for Prince and Billups

Wow. That would have been a blockbuster. I might have done it if I were Denver. Improves the D and makes AI the clear go to guy instead of having to fight 'Melo for shots.

Bilas breaks down the draft

Bilas breaks down the draft

I linked to his breakdown of Westbrook, but there's some good stuff on the top college players (he doesn't evaluate the international prospects).
