He may have broken his nose yesterday. Will know more after exams are taken but may have to miss a game and wear a protective mask until the end of the season.

Edit : he is fine, no broken nose.

Congrats to Lighty! You know winning is his specialty. Sorry to hear what happened to his mother - I'm sure it's been a roller coaster type year for him.

They celebrated the title at Euro Disney. Here is a pic of the team in the tower of terror :

Just don't get how there isn't a spot for David on an NBA bench.

One of my favorite Buckeye players.

Just don't get how there isn't a spot for David on an NBA bench.

One of my favorite Buckeye players.

The guy can guard 3 positions, he can get to the basket and he's a smart player.

Instead retard NBA GMs would rather take flyers on 17 year old Euro point guards and shooters who have played against what amounts to D-III (maybe) talent.
