Around SBN: Jim Irsay: We Can Make It Work With Peyton Manning

I'll be at the Wizards game fairly early today - going to talk to Blake Ahearn and possibly some of the Albuquerque crew - so I'll get this up so you can guys keep me updated on any intriguing developments today (see Yue, Sun returning from an ankle injury early because he's a 6'9" left handed point guard and he needs, he needs TO play in America).

Los Angeles @ Erie - Erie is currently the last team in the playoffs and LA lost Sun Yue to injury earlier this week. They also lost Joe Crawford to a call-up to the Knicks. This leaves them starting Charlie Parker and Ryan Forehan-Kelly. Mickael Gelabale is the 6th man for some reason. I'm picking Erie.

Colorado @ Fort Wayne - Fort Wayne should be mad from last night's end of game happenings. Colorado was the first team to clinch a playoff berth. Colorado's won five in a row - Erie will put up a fight, but Colorado should pull it out.

Bakersfield @ Tulsa - Tulsa is a good team with a terrible record. Bakersfield lost to RGV last night. Lots of pro prospects in this one - Trey Johnson, Derrick Byars, Mateen Cleaves, Shaun Livingston, Gary Forbes, DJ White. Should be a good game, but Bakersfield has more to lose, so I'll pick them to win.

Albuquerque @ Dakota - Dakota comes into this game losing four straight. Both are clinging to their teams playoff hopes. I'll assume that Blake Ahearn and Antoine Agudio will combine for more than 10 3's and Dakota comes out on top.

Leave your thoughts here.

I forgot about Earl Barron

and Ryan Forehan-Kelly went off for 14 points in the first quarter. LA has looked good.

You will be banned

If you didn’t wake up this morning with AMC on and have Million Dollar Baby on. No other reason to make that reference (without any mention of Sun Yue).

Sun Yue = Better than Rudy, fyi.

Okay you caught me....

I did wake up to AMC….my prediction for the D-Fenders tonight? Sun Yue convinces his coach to play his avatar girlfriend in his spot, and she goes for 21/10/6 and has an afro larger than if Shaun Livingston and JamesOn Curry had an illigitimate love-child together.

It's kind of amazing...

That two weeks left in the season and 12 teams are still in it for the playoffs. That’s pretty cool that 75% of the league still has something to play for this late.

I'm trying to decide

It’s great for the fans, but what’s it mean overall? That many strong teams?

I think you can chalk it up to the league itself

I think it is the nature of the D-league, with it’s rotating talent, guys coming in and being shipped out on a weekly basis. The volatile rosters and playing styles it has got to be difficult to maintain momentum. Richard Hendrix for instance has played on two different teams this season, and his impact has an effect on the quality of the team. It actually makes it a lot more interesting to watch. Will the 14ers win tonight? I don’t know, who’d they get this week?
