Crawford Should Run Point For Warriors

The line-up just got shook up for the Warriors. They just traded Al Harrington to the New York Knicks for Jamal Crawford. In my opinion, this should be the line-up the Dubs should be running when he gets there.

PG-Jamal Crawford

SG-Anthony Morrow

SF-Corey Magette

PF-Stephen Jackson

C-Andris Biedrins

Crawford should run the point for the Warriors like he did most of last season for the Knicks, despite having Nate Robinson. Sure, he's really a shooting guard, but here's the thing. Not only did he score 20.6 PPG last season but he also had 5 APG. This season, he's averaged 19.6 PPG and 4.4 APG alongside Chris Duhon, who has 7.2 APG this season. Plus, Crawford's numbers are a whole lot better than what C.J. Watson, DeMarcus Nelson and Marcus Williams are putting up.

Having one more guy on the floor to distribute won't hurt. Stephen Jackson leads the team with 6.5 APG. The line-up may be small still, but they'd have height at the point.

When Monta Ellis comes back, assuming that he's at full strentgh, Morrow or Crawford goes to the bench depending on their play. When he comes back, it should be interesting how their minutes are set-up. They'll be stacked at the guard spot. Ellis, Jackson, Crawford, Morrow, Magette, Marco Belinelli and Kelenna Azubuike can all play shooting guard. I'm not surprised if one of them, Belineli most likely, gets traded. He almost got traded for the Nets' Sean Williams.

It's going to be fun to watch how the Warriors mix it up this year as the team keeps on changing.

Texas Tech Destroys East Central 167-115, 282 Points Combined

Looking at the boxscores from last night's college basketball games, one game might stand out from the rest. Texas Tech 167, East Central 115. The most combined points in Texas Tech history, and probably East Central too. East Central University is located in Ada, Oklahoma, 88 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.

Ten players from the Red Raiders were in double figures, led by Trevor Cook's 20 points on 9-13 shooting as they shattered Bob Knight's record of 119 and a the school record of 128. They also shot 59.3% from the floor and 52 % from beyond the arc. The legendary Knight only topped 100 points five times with the team. His son, Pat, just beat him by 48 points.

Texas Tech Players in Double Figures:

Trevor Cook, 20
Adam Voskuil, 17
John Roberson, 17
Mike Singletary, 16
Wally Dunn, 16
Nick Okorie, 15
D'Walyn Roberts, 13
Michael Prince, 12
Darko Cohadarevic, 12
Rogdrick Craig, 11

Dontae Figgs led the Tigers with 19 points. Texas Tech also had 62 rebounds and 18 steals. Twenty-four of the rebounds were offensive. Unfortunately, one player from the team didn't score with 18 minutes of play. Tyree Graham went 0-5 from the field and was the only player from the game not to score.

Players Getting Paid More

It's players like LeBron James, Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett and, of course, Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant that has Luke Walton and every player in the NBA thanking them for getting an extra $25K from their licensing check in the mail. James, Iverson, Garnett and Bryant were the top four in jersey sales worldwide.

"Thanks, Kobe Bryant. Thanks, LeBron James," Luke Walton said, laughing. "You open the mail and have a check you don't even count on, that's beautiful."

President of the NBA Player's Association, and also Lakers teammate, Derek Fisher is thankful to those guys and is also to thank for getting this done, reported by the L.A. Times. Fisher helped

"The good part about it I think -- at least for most guys -- is that it's evenly distributed," Fisher said. "We recognize that our star players, they carry the load, in terms of the face of our game and the jersey sales that go on. So we're appreciative of the fact that they're in it too."

Thanks to Fisher and the top four jersey sellers in the world, everyone playing in the league will get the same amount, whether it'd be a superstar in Dwyane Wade, a bench player in Kyle Korver, a rookie in Anthony Morrow or Antoine Walker, who hasn't even played a minute. Way to spread the wealth.
