Team Needs

Team Needs:

76ERS - SF/PF/C "E.Brand is not going to get the 76ers to the next level anytime soon and Brackins was never ment to be"

BLAZERS - PG "What the Blazers really need to do is draft Greg Odense some new legs, but since the NBA frowns upon that they will just have to draft a PG"

BOBCATS - C/SF "If Michael Porter played center he would be able to step in and help more at Center than what the Bobcats have now"

BUCKS - SG/SF/PF "The Bucks SG squad is going to need a new player that is good"

BULLS - SG "The chances of Keith Bogans getting better every year are the same of the chances of me reading 'Twilight'... Thats not even a chance, i don't read books nor do I like high school in the form of Vampires or in any form at all... the Bulls need a SG

CAVS - PG/SG/PF "It's a good thing the Cavs got two top 5 picks because they will need them."

CELTICS - SG "The Celtics need a SG more than they need any other pos. They will have to draft a SG here"

CLIPPERS - PG/SF/C "Really the Clippers don't need any pos. Badly they will just have to bolster up either PG, SF or C"

GRIZZ - C/PF "I think Memphis can make the finals next year as not a surprise but an under-dog because they are way under-rated, but in order to get better the will need to take a center to back up Gasol"

HAWKS - SF "The Hawks liked what they saw from UK PG Marquis's older brother Jeff, so they will likely steer away from taking a PG and draft a SF"

HEAT - C "The need a center, enough said"

HORNETS - SG "The Hornets need not neglect the need of their SG pos."

JAZZ - SG "The Jazz SG situation is no bueno"

KINGS - PG/SF/PF "The Kings need a PG to run the offense, But the will take a SF here"

KNICKS - C/PG "The Knicks will take a center here and fix the PG in next years draft"

LAKERS -  PG/C "Steve Blake and Derek Fischer are not going make the Lakers any better next year, Andrew Bynum is the only center and to be honest he is over-rated."

MAVS - PG/C "Jason Kidd was alive when the Mayflower landed on Plymouth Rock so he is not going to keep up with fresher younger legs, The Mavs could use a better inside presence than Heywood and Chandler"

NETS - SG/PF "Vujacic would be better off starting for a D-League team because he is not a valid starter for any NBA team the Nets really need help at SG, Humphries has been in the league 8 years and still has not proven himself yet it's time for the Nets to look for a better option"

NUGGETS - PF/C "Kenyon Martin's and Al Harrington's ages = 64 and 26 years in the league between them so it would be in there best interest to draft a decent PF with good upside, Nene does not have a back-up to count on"

PACERS - SG/SF "Great college player but an underachiever in the NBA, that is what Brandon Rush is and would be perfect to help along a SG to eventually take his starting spot, if the Pacers want to get serious they will have to draft a PF"

PISTONS - PG/SG/SF/PF/C "It's pretty much pick your poison with the Pistons, you name it they need it, Stuckey should promise but not enough, Ben Gordon is not what they have paid for and Hamilton wants out of A-Town, Let's face it we all love Prince but he is 31 and does not have many years left we will see what Daye turns out to be, all of the Pistons PF are jokes sorry Villanueva your not good, I think Pistons will roll the dice with Monroe"

RAPTORS - PG/SF "Bayless would make a great back-up to who ever the Raptors take at PG, at SF the Raptors need a little extreme makeover NBA edition"

ROCKETS - C "Really the Rockets have a pretty good starting line up, but not having Ming every single year is means for drafting a center"

SPURS - SF/PF/C "The Spurs really need some big help down low and with Duncan being 35 they won't be any better for long if they don't draft a PF, but need SF more"

SUNS - SG/PG/SF "Carter's beard is weird(he is ancient), Nash is 3 years older than Carter which also means Nash is old, Grant Hill... Old, are you seeing a pattern with the Suns?"

THUNDER - C "Kendrick Perkins bewildered angry face doesn't intimidate any one Cole Aldrich just flat out stinks time to draft a Center with this pick"

T'WOLVES - C "Milicic is their Center... Enough said"

WARRIORS - C "What the Warriors need is a reliable go-to Center, and the only thing that Biedrins is reliable at would be being a solid back up to who ever they draft"

WIZARDS - SF "It's already been 1 year and John Wall hasn't led the Wizards to the playoffs, time to draft a new PG, haha just kidding, they really need a SF"

Pics From BBM Camp Out

(No explanation)

(The lines on the green side)

(Some Fat Kid)

(Wasn't taken at BBM camp out)

During the daytime the temperature was not too bad, actually it was pleasant.  Towards the night, Twas cold as crap (also in morning).  Players handed out Papa Johns pizza again this year and signed autographs as well.  Throughout the night you could hear cheers of "Free ENES"!!! and "Oooooo C-A-T-S CATS CATS CATS"!!! The marching band did not come out this year like they had done the year before because of the game at Ole Miss.  Every year is blast to go to this and meet the players and Coach Cal.  Hopefully Enes can practice again with the team in time for BBM on October 15th, 2010 at 7:30.

If you have any pictures from the camp out email them to me at bleedingkyblue@yahoo.com and I will put them up on the blog.
