This young man is having the start of a fantastic rookie year. Check out what they're writing about #14

Augustin scored a career-high 29 points in a one-on-one matchup of point guards with No. 1 pick Derrick Rose, and the undermanned Charlotte Bobcats snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 110-101 overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.

Augustin forced overtime by hitting three free throws with 19 seconds left after Rose fouled him on a 3-point attempt, a call that the Bulls vehemently protested.

Augustin also helped shut down Rose, who had a rare off night in what’s been a remarkable rookie season.

Rose was held to six points on 3-of-16 shooting, with seven assists. He had a potential game-winning shot blocked by Emeka Okafor at the end of regulation and Okafor blocked him again just before Augustin’s free throws put Charlotte ahead 105-100.

“That’s why you love the NBA,” Rose said. “You’ve got another game tomorrow.”

Augustin has been a pleasant surprise from our usually spotty drafting technique. I have a feeling that having Augustin is going to make the guys who still mourn the loss of CP3 or DW feel a little better about our franchise. We needed a home run pick like Augustin looks to be.

He's going to be a star in this league and I hope he continues to play at the level that would denote his future success.

      With the state of the OL the talent level of the opposing team and the venue it would be a small miracle if we don't turn the ball over let alone sustain drives. We squandered 8 drives against the winless Jets.

      I don’t have the energy right now. Not finished licking my wounds and complaining.  Preliminary thoughts … Loss. The awakening of rolling with RICO is a week late and they will shut our running game down (I watched some video and our receivers are sucking at their blocking assignments for the most part. Which most receivers do). It will be on Bryce to carry us through the air. Big test for him, good luck   I can’t do scores. We’ll lose the game not sure it will be that close.

      It will go one of two ways and depends who plays in the game. Canales gets his head out of his ass and starts Dowdle. Young manages to start. Cade Mays and Damien Lewis play. Running game gets going. Evero comes up with some scheme to slow down the Packers offense. The game is close but the Panthers lose an excruciating one at the end.  They haven’t put together a good game against a good opponent yet so I’m going to wager this will be an epic massacre. 50+ to 10 After what we saw against the Bills I have little hope for option A and fully expect option B.
