Ouch...glad he's always been good with his money. It's a shame how Baron's career went given his talent. He could've been one of the greatest PG's had he been better about his conditioning.

And none of them happened to a player called Redd.
We've had a lot more cartlidge related injures over the last few years, but they were all big men (and roy...).
I'd say ACL/MCL/Platella (or tendon damage in general) is more likely in Guards because of the horizontal stress they put on their joints.
Where as bigs just have all that weight continually pounding on their knee's over a life time.

I thought he was done for the career just looking at the aftermath. All of that just confirms it.
Knicks should honestly be thinking about a full tear down and rebuild. At least keep lin and the young guns and try to get picks

Exactly but they won't be cause they run by a complete nincompoop ignorant manchild whose only claim to fame is his daddy. Just like the Lakers current decision maker in Jim Buss.

Mr. Buss traded Fisher and 2 garbage picks for Ramon and Jordan Hill.
You shut your whore mouth.

We did well at the current trade deadline. He also went after Paul this offseason. It's true that Mitch is the man, but lets not blast Jim with these types of insults just yet.

He got rid of Luke and Fish while getting a starting quality PG and a dirty work PF who has snagged 3 double doubles in the past 6 games.

You know that was financial more than anything else, come on.
Jim fired so many of the Lakers personnel who have been there for more than 30 years. It's inexcusable.

BWAHAHA, that would be insane if true. Fucking Mothman, throwing salt in my game.

ThisI do agree with. Though still not "Knicks Owner Bad"
Hill has been looking very good off the bench though. Most people don't get double doubles off the bench.

Except they're going to re-sign Ramon for more than they paid Fish. Did it help them financially? Sure.
They still improve the tea,.
Jeanie does the business side, not Jim. And Daddy signs off on all of it.

NO! I don't believe it!! Jeanie is an angel!
Yep, he's definitely taken the opportunity by the throat.

As of a few hours before tip, tickets to Game 4 in Utah were going for $5 on StubHub. To Spurs fans. Not a lot of faith among Jazz faithful.

You know if Jeanie has a penis Jim will still be washing horse excrement instead of running the Lakers.

you know you could just check on something like this.
http://www.stubhub.com/utah-jazz-pl...ity-energy-solutions-arena-5-18-2012-4064576/
basically? bullshit.
Except that they can't.
No matter what NBA-age would like to say, Melo is a top 3 SF, who they gave up a lot of their young roster for. He essentially can't be traded now.
Amare's contract isn't going anywhere.
And Tyson Is integral to them winning as he improves their defense a thousand fold.
And those 3 contracts a lone put them over the salary cap.
Their young players are also seemingly role players at best.
Lin ... jury is still very much out on Lin despite what many would like to think.
Shumpert is better than Fields, but is that really saying a lot? He'd be a decent SG next to Lin, but he needs to find his shot to help spacing or he'll be a Brewer in a few years.
Fields never kept on developing and looked so entirely lost for most of this year on offense. He doesn't know whether he's coming or going.
And then it's... JR Smith... Mike Bibby, Jarred Jeffries....
Eh, their only real hope is that Lin comes back from his injuries healthy and has added a bit more to his game, and watched tape of when he started to see Defenses that had figured out how to stop him.
They NEED Amare to have a good off season and come back with some bounce and athleticism. Who knows if thats even possible.
And they NEED Lin to make sure the offense flows when both Amare and Melo are on the floor, and to act like a floor general and tell both of them to F'off when appropriate.

Uhh... most seats don't fill until tipoff. (i know the game has started NOW, but not then obviously).
What a moronic tweet.
game is starting an hour and half earlier than usual

Thrillsap is playing well. I wonder what the Jazz bench is going to look like when they start subbing them in though

If anyone has been paying attention to the Jazz postgame comments, they'd know that not even the Jazz players think they can win..
Even before game 1 the rhetoric was all about "being competitive" with the Spurs, and learning from an experienced team about what it means to play in the playoffs. After game 3, Big Al basically said that he didn't think there is any stopping the Spurs winning the title, let alone this series.
Soooo
yah. I can't blame the fans much, even if that tweet is inaccurate. Other than Haywood's "we want to shock the world" comment before game 1, its been very defeatist.

Didn't the Spurs fail to sell out a few Finals games once? I'm seriously asking, but I'm not sure if that's accurate.

Except that the Utah papers are usually like that.
Whenever they met the Lakers for their annual exit party (last few years, anyway), their papers didn't even back them--"No chance" or something like that was their headline.
D-Will in the last two years just knew there was nothing he could do.
Also, Ding sets Abbot straight without saying a word about him.
