That guy was awesome. He was a rookie when I first started really paying attention to sports. <br /><br />Sports Illustrated did a feature about ranking the NBA point guards, and Brandon came out number 1. I have that cover autographed (the first Cavalier on the cover of SI before LeBron)Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210862608619471273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-2368173580635316712006-10-26T21:40:00.000-04:002006-10-26T21:40:00.000-04:00Snow won't be confused with even Terrell Brandon i...Snow won't be confused with even Terrell Brandon in his prime, but there is something to be said for character guys who make few mistakes.<br /><br />Yeah, it would be great to have Steve Nash Pistol-Peteing the ball up, down and crossways to LeBron and Larry Hughes. But do the Cavs really need a stat-stuffing PG who needs the ball in his hands all the time?<br /><br />LeBron needs his touches. Hughes needs his touches. Z needs his. If early indications are true, Gooden might warrant more than a few touches. And we need a point who needs a bunch of touches, too?<br /><br />The people who say the Cavs can't win with a PG like Snow are the people who would trade Snow and Z for Stephon Marbury in a heartbeat.<br /><br />With ballhandling to spare in LeBron and Hughes, the Cavs need a PG who can be like Trent Dilfer was for the 2000 Ravens. Snow doesn't have to win games for Cavs; he just has to not lose them. And he's good at that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-11654148646764355452006-10-26T09:54:00.000-04:002006-10-26T09:54:00.000-04:00Yesterday on PTI, Tony Kornheiser said if the Bull...Yesterday on PTI, Tony Kornheiser said if the Bulls have a huge year, Ben Wallace could get the MVP.<br /><br />If that happens, it would be a travesty worse than the back-to-back Nash MVPs. <br /><br />I mean, with Nash you're giving it to a guy who can't play any defense. But with Wallace, you'd be giving it a guy with no offensives skills at all. <br /><br />A lot of people wrote off the Wesley signings because of how he played last season. But last year Houston was forced to play him 30+ minutes a game. In Cleveland he's going to get 15-25 minutes. That should keep fresh and productive.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210862608619471273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10484377.post-53358598274185371202006-10-26T08:50:00.000-04:002006-10-26T08:50:00.000-04:00How about our reserves hanging with Dallas last ni...How about our reserves hanging with Dallas last night? Promising, but we did allow the Mavs to get an offensive rebound in the last minute......David Wesley is going to be a lot more important than people realize. With Donyell upping his game and using his size more, Wesley and Jones are going to get open shots and Wesley is a proving shooter (37% 3 pt for career). I think a mix of him and Shannon Brown/Gibson eventually, is going to be a potent combo and mix of styles. Wesley can also pass well. How about Chicago getting all this mad hype? People talk about how the Bulls needed frontcourt presence and offense and claim Ben Wallace provides that. Um, HOW exactly does Ben Wallace fix that? He cant shoot, he has no footwork. He happens to be a linebacker who had the priviledge of playing on a great defensive TEAM the past 4 years. The Bulls are not gonna live up to the hype and I have more confidance in the Orlando Magic right now as far as being a surprise team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
