In response to the Simmons argument...

I not only disagree with the argument. It was only a year ago that the same super athletic Heat team got taken down by a much older and slower Thunder team. Also they got pushed to the brink by a Celtics team that may have been "in their head" if you believe stuff like that, but was one of the least athletic teams in the playoffs. The two best teams this year are more athletic than we have seen, but that does not mean that playing a more traditional style won't work.

 

Furthermore, Hibbert strongly affected multiple games aganst this same Heat team in their series against them. Yes it was without Bosh, but he still had a few monster games. And as is tradition in the NBA if you're a big who shows up for 3 games a year and they happen to be in the playoffs you're going to get a max deal. Just ask Isaiah Thomas I'm pretty sure its somewhere in the CBA.

That being said...

he is also a center on the blazers and will follow in the tradition of Walton, Bowie, Sabonis and Oden and have his knees implode the instant he touches the court there (goes without saying that I in no way hope for this).

 

Portland has been looking for another big man to team with LMA. This will give them a front line that can compete with the size with the lakers and if Damien Lillard turns out theyll have a playoff team again.

Hopefully this

will wrap up his defection to us. Good thing Hoke himself gets a chance to talk to him after Meyer stopped in. 

My thoughts exactly...

That is why I will be painting myself maize.

Here are your rooting interests for next week...

John Beilein's game plan will...

put a freeze on Duke's offense. Austin Rivers' shooting will go cold and Seth Curry shooting touch will feel the chill of winter. Coach K will fell a chill go down his spine when Trey Burke starts a blizzard of 3s. Wiinter is coming to Duke basketball.

As a student...

I am worried about the health of some of my friends who have shown no interest in waking up later than the normal 530am gameday time. Its gonna get reckless down by the frats
