- Speaking of Chris Dudley (from the Charles Barkley interview), here's an even more embarrassing story. Source: This Day in Sports: Chris Dudley's Trip To The Line Goes Horribly Wrong
January 29, 1989 — Cavs center Chris Dudley stepped to the free throw line and did something no one in the NBA had ever done. And that wasn't a good thing. Dudley, a celebrated defender, rebounder and shot-blocker, was a somewhat below-average free throw shooter. OK, he was a somewhat awful free throw shooter, with a career average of 45.8 percent, which is better than Ben Wallace but worse than Shaq. But in a January game against the Washington Bullets, he took poor free throw shooting to a new level.
Dudley got fouled, stepped to the line and missed both shots. NBD. But the ref called a lane violation on a Bullets guard, so Dudley shot a third. Which he missed. Another lane violation (this one by Bullets center Dave Feitl) brought another attempt and another miss (that's four for those counting at home). Amazingly, Feitl was called for another lane violation. And amazingly, Dudley missed his fifth and final (of the series) free throw attempt, becoming the first player to miss five free throws in one trip.

Poll Voting
I think most votes come from people without accounts. I used to lurk here for a few months before signing up and finding out there were other blogs. Now on most polls, I don’t even vote. People that are signed up to this blog and don’t post here probably lurk and vote on the polls even if they only post on their team’s blog or whatever.
IQofaWarrior, thanks for the videos and links.
If anyone wants to watch John Wall and Kentucky, they’re on CBS right now. Evan Turner and Ohio State are on ESPN.

You're welcome
Just in case you were curious, I made up this poll because of something that was brought up yesterday in the open thread pregame. Someone wondered how that poll could have 300+ many votes, but only 40+ comments at that time. That’s when someone said that you could vote anonymously, which I never knew.

Thanks for the Wall update, I finally get to watch him and he’s having an off game. Go figure.

I was watching Evan Turner on television and John Wall via a stream. Turner is more fun to watch for me because he does more things.

Turner
Every time I watch him, he does something different to impress me. He came into today’s game averaging 0.8 blocks, a good number for a guard. He had four blocks today and added seven assists. Of course, that wasn’t all. He posted another double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds and did it while going 8-for-11 from the floor.

Kentucky
Right now, Cousins and Patterson have combined for just one more shot attempted than Wall. The result is a big early deficit for the Wildcats on the road against a good Tennessee team.

Its looking like I want Cousins in a Warrior uni, but small sample size and all…

Cousins
I think he has the potential to be the best player of the 2010 draft class or the biggest bust of the 2010 draft class. If the guy stays in college for a few years, we’d obviously have a better read on him.

he just made a serious NBA move.
I hate watching college basketball. so slow, zone d’s, walking etc…. But you see what Wall does on the break or more open court, and it’s not hard to see him as a star in NBA.
College Basketball
I strongly disagree with your “slow” game comment. I don’t think it’s slow at all. I never get that impression when I’m watching college hoops. About zone defenses, how is that a bad thing? Most teams don’t even play a zone defense and if they do, it’s fun to watch. Look at Oregon State’s 1-3-1 zone defense or Syracuse’s 2-3 zone. Syracuse is really fun to watch play defense. They are so long and force a lot of steals.
Onto John Wall, yes, he’s very explosive in the open court and is a very crafty finisher at the rim.

College is boring and slow…. they take 30 seconds to get off a highly contested jumper everytime. They never run the break, and most of the players can’t make jumpshots or free throws.

Sorry
You don’t watch college basketball, then.

Liar
You don’t watch something if you find it slow and boring. I watch college hoops every day and all the time. It’s not boring. Teams don’t dribble out the shot clock and then go ahead and take contested jumpers like you suggest.

I kinda like college basketball
but I think it is kinda slow. It’s like if the Spurs had a 35 second shot clock.

No, what i mean is unless i find a team i like its not fun. I love watching a team or two specifically….unless it is them….i hate it.
3 years before that it was Durant’s texas team and Mayo’s USC
didnt have one after that
Last year it was Davidson and Michigan State
This year it is Tennessee, Duke, and Cal.

I have an account now but I used to vote without one all the time and it didn’t lock me out after, so you can vote over and over again.

Yeah, I think you were the one who mentioned it yesterday.
i seriously thought about asking readers to try multiple voting to see if it still works, but I didn’t want to be responsible for readers hammering away at every poll from now on.

Well I just logged out, voted and logged back in and it would not let me vote again so it looks like the multiple votes has been fixed.

Right
With an account, you can’t vote more than once. If you don’t have an account and you vote and refresh the page, I think you can vote multiple times.

Raja Bell...

Charles Barkley said it regarding trading Ellis for Mayo
“That’s a no Brainer, because you have two little guards that can’t play well together and you get rid of Monta’s salary.”
This what you here from most experts, even I remember Rick Kamla saying that having Curry and Ellis offensively is good but defensively it doesn’t make sense. Everyone likes the offensive production the two. They can create problems to other opponents but my concern along with others is that also weakens our perimeter defense. Curry with a young Raja Bell would have been good, if we decide that Curry is our future PG and Ellis stays then we need a defensive minded 3 along with two shoot blockers playing in PF and C.

Btw, Turner might not even consider jumping into the NBA
“I remember back when nobody even knew my name,‘’ he said. "Nobody even cared. It’s cool now.’ ’ Turner says he loves college and isn’t really considering jumping to the NBA a year early. He’s a celebrity as he walks around campus, and is almost a lock to be the Big Ten’s player of the year. And he dates Samantha Prahalis, perhaps the favorite to be the women’s player of the year in the conference.
Waaaarriors
With the new CBA stuff going down 2011, I highly doubt anyone that can go to the NBA would not. Right now is their best opportunity to make money.
You know I spit technique to the freshest freak
Gimme a call you will see results in just a week

Raja Bell is a pro's pro...
He needs to give out interview lessons, and the Dub’s need more guys like him (who can shoot it, but still find time to play some D)
I hope
Turner comes out. I want him in a Warrior uniform next season
Golden State Warriors Fan 4 Life!!!
The Golden Future
PF: Anthony Randolph
PG: Stephen Curry
Can't wait until GS wins a championship!!!
He will come out, guaranteed.

I dont comment here much, but the Warrior’s Owners need to start breaking out the cash and spend in free agency. I live in AZ now so I dont catch the Warriors unless they’re on TNT here but what I have seen has been painful to watch. With the exception of Curry, it doesn’t look promosing. Bell will be a good addition but he’s not enough. This team has been “bulding” for a long time now. They’ve got to get it together.
I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

They don’t have the cash under the cap to spend.
There will be no extra point!
