O'Bryant worthy of No. 1 pick? Chad Ford ESPN.com Thursday, June 8, 2006 On Monday, I sat in a gym in Sarasota, Fla., watching Bradley center Patrick O'Bryant...

I hope you saw the NBA finals, if not last night then one or more of the 4 Miami wins. If not, and if you are now reading and wondering about the hype over...
Interesting news. There was just a news story yesterday about merger talks between the NCC and NSIC, the reason given that "several" NCC schools are exploring...
My feelings are much the same. I was not a big fan of Dallas (Phoenix would have been much better) but Miami is the image of the recent bad old days. Too bad. ...
I thought the finals were fine and Dwayne Wade was super. As to those other pieces that don¹t quite fit...well, they fit pretty well in games 3 through 6 (and...
The Wolves were said to want size--and to replace Rashad McCants and his busted (micro-busted) leg with a free agent--but all the credible big guys were gone...
Dan Wetzel's live analysis 6 (6) Minnesota - Brandon Roy, G: The Timberwolves got my best player in the draft Roy. He is solid in every way, and if he...
... the draft ... the ... national ... way ... The nba.com front page says MIN - B. Roy (to Por) and BOS - R. Foye (to Min via Por). Am I reading this right?...
Minnesota high school grad (Blaine) Patrick O¹Bryant, who went to Bradley, went at #9 to Golden State. He is described as a project but a legit pick at #9....
I just saw the announcement. The Wolves picked Roy with #6, then trade him to Portland for the #7 pick Foye. Roy-Foye-oh, for joy. Why the hell didn¹t they...
I just finished Wilt, 1962, a look at Chamberlain and the others involved in his 100-point game. Other than the author doing a blurb on the Lakers 1950 19-18...
Jeez, has this trade already gone bad? Now I see that Roy has already been named to the Hall of Fame. Oh, never mind, that¹s hockey and Patrick Ru-a (along...
... already been ... Herbie!). ... My bike ride tonight took me through Roselawn Cemetery, so I made a point of visiting Herb's grave. Meanwhile, Dino didn't...
Well, no, I guess the Wolves didn¹t get a player in round 2: #36 Craig Smith 6-7 F Boston College. The first player selected for whom yahoo sports does not...
I watched the whole thing on ESPN, and it was actually pretty interesting, despite the usual plethora of fat bejewelled mothers, bad MTV fashion, mindnumbing...
Great stuff. I ³watched² on the internet and there certainly were a lot of ³huh?² moments. But: The Wolves got $1 million pack of gum, and apparently the...
The most insane thing of all‹well, aside from Isiah Thomas‹has to be the 4 UConn Huskies picked in the first round, not that they probably didn¹t belong...
Just remember, ten years ago McHale traded a shotting guard for a point guard drafted back to back, and we ended up with Stephon Marbury instead of Ray Allen....
The Wolves strategy clearly was to avoid spending any money on 2nd round picks. If they can cobble together enough money for a decent free agent (including...
If McHale has screwed up the payroll so much that he can't even afford to draft decent players in the SECOND round, he is even more pathetic as a GM than I...
Now that the Bulls traded Tyson Chandler, they have the goods to get Kevin Garnett. If they offered Tyrus Thomas, Luol Deng, J.R. Smith and Mike Sweetney, I...
I'm new to the group, so I don't know if this subject has been raised. Has there been any criticism at all about the Wolves COACH, the Haskins clone? It is my...
No idea, frankly. I have read that Casey very much wanted to hang on to Brandon Roy while McHale wanted Foye. And in the 2nd round, Casey pitched hard for J.P....
My concerns about Casey range from his qualifications to his coaching style on the bench. The Wolves took a step backward when they hired him. There were...
Did I miss something? The other day it was printed in one of the local poop sheets that players from several Northern Sun baseball teams had earned post-season...
They could do it if a couple of Minnesota schools went D1. Minnesota, Maine, Vermont, Alaska and Hawaii are the only states that don't have more than 1...
