:30s ad for a :32s video. BJ, BE NBA.
The Floppers have less playoffs series win in their franchise history than the Lakers have in 1 season.

This is perfect because it's what you have to do to view the video.
Actually I called OKC before that series started.
Also, Kyrie is slowly becoming tied with Rubio for my second favorite player in the league behind Kobe. Dude is just so fun to watch.

jesus christ...kyrie is so good.
Just some friendly banter. How can i not root for Matt Barnes and Odom?
Here's a second shout out, to zeller who managed to keep his hands soft and active and catch that pass, that's actually a rare skill for a big.
If Asik could do that he'd be a top 5 center.

I feel like the Wolves could pull off a huge upset in the first round of the playoffs, (assuming they dont implode with injuries before April) as long as they snag a 5th or 6th seed. Everyone thought Denver would be the team to upset a higher ranked squad, but its looking more and more like minnesota is that kind of team. their D is the most surprising aspect of the season, esp. with a frontcourt not known for it.

I was going over some what ifs in my head after our beat down in Denver and I wondered if Toronto or Sacramento would have been willing to do a pick for Biyombo swap prior to the draft. I like Biyombo, but if he could have netted us Drummond in a trade it would have been a tomahawk dunk by our front office.
why would you want kwame drummond

Drummond has good hands and actual touch around the basket, and he's just as good as Biyombo defensively. Plain and simple he's a better player.

A Memphis vs Minnesota series would be awesome,no?

Memphis owns the Wolves. I don't think they've beaten the Grizzlies in like 3 years.
The thing that really exaggerates Drummond is that Detroit runs a pickup game defense while Charlotte runs clusterfuck zone.
Drummond's hands are definitely better, but shit... just look at Biz's month. Imagine if he had a space eater next to him or anyone not named Mullens.
He's a great passer when he's not turning the ball over just like how Melo is clutch except when he isn't clutch.

Biz is going to be a good player, I just don't think he'll ever be an offensive threat. He will probably be good enough that defenses will have to respect him, but I'd be shocked if Drummond doesn't turn out to be the better offensive player - his hands alone should make sure of that.
And yeah our defense hasn't done Biz any favors all season long, but learning how to play in a defensive system (even if doesn't make any damn sense at the NBA level of play) isn't necessarily a bad thing. It should help him with his positioning and spacing awareness, which will hopefully help him cut his foul rate down and box out better.
I actually had a link that showed how everyone else's foul rate went up exponentially when Mullens was on the floor lol
Biz's touch has already improved a LOT around the rim (from nothing, but improvement is improvement). If we had more spacing and more consistent sets, then I think we'd be a lot better off. If you think about it, how often does this team create easy buckets at all? That's the mark of a good offensive scheme - and it should create 5-10 looks a game just by going through the motions. We don't have that.

lol, even without the stat I instantly believe you about Mullens defensive impact. That's proof enough of how bad he is.
As for our offensive sets, I've been frustrated with them too. We can go quarters at a time without running plays for MKG or Biyombo, or hell even getting them the ball at all. MKG is a beast at attacking the basket and he's capable of posting up and scoring off put backs, backdoor cuts etc. Biz needs reps more than anything too and he's not getting as many as he needs. Kemba is great at creating something from nothing, but if we're not hitting outside shots he won't have the space to do that. Spacing is the reason why (I assume) that Mullens has permission to jack up 3s, but damn we have two shooting guards that can score. Henderson really should be taking those shots, not Mullens.
Panic so hard.

If the Lakers pick is in the top 14 they get to keep it. It looks like a strong possibility to me.

No. "If the L.A. Lakers' 1st round pick is within the top-14 selections, Phoenix will automatically receive the L.A. Lakers' 1st round pick."

Shit, Mitch fucked up.
Wall was ruined in his junior year in high school.
Trade him to NY for Amare while he still has value.
No, please, anyone but Amare.
Please, I beg you with my knees on the ground, no.
Please God, please.

I cant believe there are some people that are defending DMC's shit in Sacramento. yeah the Kings are a crap organization, but so what? You think if KD or Kyrie were in Sactown they'd automatically turn into fuck ups? No, they'd still be getting theirs. DMC has no excuses. He's just an immature punk who's best case scenario is that he eventually gets it, like Z-Bo, in a few years.
Bad trade idea?
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=cnu8n4v
Heat: Jollinger says we're the only ones winning this trade. DMC would give us a legitimate center, and we'd just take on MWP's bad contract to make the deal work. Adding two misfits isn't exactly a great idea, but they'd both give us a boost.
Kings: They replace a disgruntled employee with a hard-working, defensive specialist in Joel (and they need defense) and a productive forward in Jamison. He can also bring some veteran leadership to that locker room. I also assume Miami and LA would also donate picks to the cause.
Lakers: Shooters. They need spacing and ballhandling, and they'd get that with Miller and Jimmer. Two legitimate 3pt shooters who can also play the point in a pinch. I think LA would actually come out really good by unloading Metta's contract and inconsistent offense. Of course, it also does nothing for their defense or size.
Thoughts? PEACE.

This shits on Leonsis and nobody else. If he fires Grunsfeld when he got the job then we probably don't waste a pick on Vesely. We probably get added talent to go with Beal like a Jae Crowder last year instead of Tomas Satoransky. We probably go with a head coach with a winning percentage instead of settling for Mediocrity.
So I don't even blame the players. It's a complete fuck up of the front office and all you can hope for is that quality, sure fire picks overcome F/O incompetence.

no, wrong. A bad front office doesn't make you shoot 40% from the field when you are a 7 footer. LeBron had a shoddy, incompetent FO but that didn't prevent him from beasting. DMC is just looking for others to blame for his shit play.

Terrible trade for Sac. Cousins is worth a lot more.
Metta has been good this year. Adding Jimmer/Miller just makes them worse off defensively which is the biggest concern for LA.
Mia give up shit and get gold? Of course that's a dream trade for them.

Keith Smart was trying to run the triangle on a whim this year lol
That entire team zones him out - the only person vocally telling him that he's an idiot is DMC. DMC's biggest problem is that he's always that guy. He was right about Tyreke, he was right about Westphal, he was right about the FO, and he was right about the ownership. He's not wrong. He's just immature as fuck.
