So would you say they are Sacramento good or Jersey good?

I would say that they're nearly playoff good already. They just had some costly injuries like Gordon.
Not especially.
There are some completely egregious and obvious cases of flopping in the NBA. at least 4 per game when the clippers are playing.
And make the fine $250,000.
If you're found out for doing it once, and lose $250K, i doubt you'll be going back for more.
CP3 and Blake would have been fined more money than they made this year, if they got pinged every time.
If fully healthy, they could contend for the 8th seed in the west.
But as gordon isn't hanging around, there's not much point, tank for a high pick and be happy with it in the short term. And rejoice in knowing that the franchise is going to stay.

If The Hornets can land either Davis or Gilchrist, I think he'll stay. He said that he likes the city, but that's contingent on how bad he wants to play in Indiana or how willing The Pacers are in pursing him.

Thanks, Hornets. That almost makes up for the dirty foul against Blake. Now the Clippers can lose 2 games without relinquishing the 4th seed.

Eric Gordon is a restricted free agent, he doesn't have that much of a choice in it if the Hornets want to pay him and he wants a ton of money.
Suns are throwing a max his way, and they're about the only team that has any chance of fixing him and his knees up, and keeping him that way for 82 games.
That would also probably get nash to stay.
suns are goingi to be .500 this year with out him.
Next year they might win 50+
They'll go no where in the play offs. But still, he'd be silly to not look at it seriously.
I forget he's a RFA.
Still...
Certainly the cut and dry cases of players acting like they've been shot when no part of a person's body touches them can be clearly identified, but where there's any contact then it becomes a slippery slope. The player would never admit to it, and there would be no real way to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they faked and/or sold contact on a play other than how it looked (which is no proof at all, actually), which is what they already do. The PA would never go for it and refs would be reticent to enforce it, all for bringing vindication to fans for something that's annoying but largely trivial in the grand scheme of the game.
More trouble than it's worth. But it is bothersome.

True, but I'm sure if he's vocal enough about not wanting to be there, then the Hornets might ease off of signing him to a big deal. As much as I hate to think it, Dallas might try to get in on signing him if Deron doesn't come.
True.
There's a few good spots for him.
But the Hornets can force people to trade for him rather than sign him out right if they really want to.

Ehhh just like the cavs we shouldn't be heading into the playoffs before we get a few stars from the draft. But yeah these guys have been playing out of there minds. I can see Monty winning coach of the year one of the next 3 seasons as they start to win more.
And i think Gordon will stay. He has a chance to be the "dude" alongside a good coach, good young players and he says he likes the food and the atmosphere.
This NO team playing with gordon would have made the playoffs if he was healthy early.

"I have a very important job for you Mike. You need to go over there and make sure the gatorades are ready. I don't need you to talk to the players, or the refs, just make sure those gatorades are cold and ready. This is imperative Mike. Can I trust you?"
"I got this, Kobe."
no they wouldn't

Ha.
Yeah i don't think they would have either. Gordon's great but when Jack's your second best player (as much as i love him) your not going to make it there, especially in this crowded west

That's our pick : (
you know they would....atleast they wouldn't lose to the raptors.
sooo you beat a few teams overlooking you at home and all of a sudden you're a good team? ok bud.
They'd probably have 27-28 wins, and be in contention though.
yeah that's possible.

Who the fuck is Steve Adams? Do NOT want...
I think they'd have a shot at the 8th seed.
It would also be amazing how many other of their injured players would miraculously be healthy again.

70% Kobe. (kid can kill at the hole)
15% Ron Artest (gonna be a bigger body and can play d if he wants to)
15% Dajuan Wagner (he's out of control.at times)
Should be a solid ass pro man.
Jazz have a shot at the 8th seed and are playing 2 D-Leaguers
I know Harris is bad but he's not a D-Leaguer.
Also, your entire program has been injury prone for a few years now. Not portland bad, but no one seems to get through unscathed over there.
Heh, Harris actually has .. not been all that terrible the last couple months.
kad, if we dont make the playoffs how many picks do we get?

Team really hasn't been that injury-prone this year. The five best players on the team missed like 9 combined games this year IIRC. Second tier guys on the team have gone down a lot though but they've been pretty old other than CJ.

Oh yeah, props to the Piston's PA announcer, enjoy listening to his style.
This year maybe, but thats partly because you had a very influx starting 5 for a while?
I dunno, Just seem to recall the last 2 years of the deron era being fairly injury prone too.
