THE PG ON BO McCALEBB, RAMON SESSIONS AND SMUSH PARKER

This audio for this video was excerpted from the 10/13/2012, Episode 38 broadcast of THE POINT GUARD Radio Program.  The PG reminds us about Bo McCalebb, "Europe's Best Point Guard" and alerts us of Ramon Session's prospects for starting at the point for the Charlotte Bobcats.  Finally, there is a mention of Smush Parker who, apparently, did not have the best relationship with Kobe Bryant.  The music is "Piano Beat" courtesy of GCP OnDaTrack (copyright 2012).

2013 NBA Draft: Top 10 Point Guard Prospects | NBADraft.net

The PG has begun his pre-season ranking of the top 20 NBA point guards.  Here is a collegiate Top Ten Ranking from NBADraft.net.  Haven't heard of any of these guys, yet.  But I'm sure that will change by mid-November.

This Ryan Harrow guy sounds intriguing.  Taking Marquis Teague's place at Kentucky will make him highly visible on national television.  Won't be surprised if he's a household name by mid-year.

The PG must also apologize for on two occasions during this program, referring to Vernon Maxwell of the '90s Houston Rockets as "Cornbread" Maxwell, who of course was a forward for the Boston Celtics of the '80s.

LINSANITY LEAVES FOR GREENER PASTURES

Chris Broussard of ESPN tries to explain the behind-the-scene dynamics resulting in the New York Knicks' refusal to match the Houston Rockets' $29 million offer sheet for Jeremy Lin.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8176327

The PG feels this is best for all parties involved.  Houston gets their media personality to put fans in the seats (and get merchandise off the shelves), Lin gets paid BIG TIME and gets to play in an open-style offense not available to him in NYC, and the Knicks save cap space that could have gone to an overpaid back-up coming off knee surgery, had Lin failed to flourish in the half-court offensive style favored by Coach Woodson who wants Stoudamire and Anthony to be the hub of the offense.

I think the Knicks always suspected there was a chance they might lose Lin; because if they really wanted to keep him, why would they let him "test the market" and risk ballooning of the signing price?  The Rockets are building for the future, so the Lin acquisition will help their marketability until they are once again able to put a contending team on the floor.  Everybody wins, except for New Yorkers more attached to the Linsanity hype than the New York Knicks' prospects for this season.

Personally, if I were the Knicks, I would have gone after Ramon Sessions or Darren Collison rather than Raymond Felton (a control pg) - particularly if they were going to bring in J. Kidd for tutelage purposes.  Either Sessions or Collison would have provided more quickness and off-the-dribble elusiveness than Felton. Understandably, however, New York chose to go with the more familiar option.

Of course, what the Knicks REALLY should have done was get D'antoni a speed or pure penetration point guard to run his system two years ago, BEFORE the trade for Melo.

THE PG FINISHES THIRD IN INAUGURAL THEPOINTGUARD.NET FANTASY BASKETBALL LEAGUE

ThePointGuard.net Fantasy Basketball League on YAHOO just completed its inaugural season. SWISH DREAMS won a hard-fought battle (5-3-1) with SIN-X for the Championship which came down to the final day's competition.

ThePG started very poorly, but recovered to finish 4th out of 12 teams during the regular season and nearly upset the regular season champion in the playoff semi-finals (sinX edged out ThePG 5-4).  ThePG soundly thrashed BREAKING POINT 7-2 to salvage a face-saving third place finish.

ThePG and Speedy will discuss the results during the Saturday's weekly broadcast of "The Point Guard" internet radio program, 5:30 pm CST / 6:30pm EST on BlogTalkRadio.com. Of course, the primary topic of conversation will be assessments and predictions for the First Round NBA matchups. Feel free to tune in, call in, and join in the discussion.

As last year, ThePG will this playoff season, again monitor and comment on the playoff performances of the various PGs and the series matchups in these pages.  So check in regularly for his updates.

Congratulations to SWISH DREAMS and also to all participants in our 1st Annual ThePointGuard.net Fantasy Basketball League on YAHOO. See you next season. And until then...

The PG: "Paul Westphal Was Somethin' Else!"

Just a little retro piece from our YouTube Page.  The PG discusses the creative playing style of Paul Westphal, who was dismissed as coach of the Sacramento Kings earlier this season.   He was maybe a combo guard more than a pure PG, but he definitely had some game!




May Your Point Guard Flow...     Like Westphal.

ALL RAMON SESSIONS, ALL THE TIME...

Ramon Sessions, a favorite here at The Point Guard, is featured in this article by Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports.  Apparently, Ramon loves L.A. and L.A. loves him.   And with good reason...  L.A. hasn't had a point guard with his skills since the dawn of the Millennium!

Sessions states that Kobe's first words to him were, "Let's win a ring."

Sounds like a plan...

The PG Calls Another One!!

In Episode 19 (see previous post) of THE POINT GUARD Internet Radio Program, The PG states that Jamal Crawford should be placed at the point guard spot, replacing an injured and struggling Raymond Felton.  (Of course, The PG and Speedy have been adamant for some time that Crawford should actually play the point rather than the Two.)  This past week, Portland coach, Nate McMillan, finally began to see The PG's reasoning. He made the switch and as YAHOO Sports reports:

G Jamal Crawford started at the point for the second time this season -- and for the first time in place of a healthy Raymond Felton. McMillan made the decision to make a change after the Laker game, and it paid off splendidly with both players. The pair combined to hit 7-of-8 three-pointers in the first quarter, the one miss a desperation shot by Felton as the shot clock expired. Crawford enjoyed his best performance of the season, with 20 points on 6-for-8 shooting -- 5-for-7 from three-point range -- to go with eight assists, four rebounds and one turnover in 30 minutes. "It was a lot of fun," Crawford said. "It was good to get off to a fast start -- just like the Lakers did to us last night. One thing about starting, I don't feel like I have to rush. I can take my time and set the table for the other guys. (Tuesday), the ball found its way back to me."

The PG calls yet another one!!  Now, will they KEEP him there?
