Grantland breaks down the history of the Knicks over the past four years.

Good reading.

Meanwhile our starters are collectively averaging 26 minutes a game.

Watching Austin Rivers play in person was really depressing. I think I stopped making fun of him after that.

Clippers about to get clipped. Can't afford another slow start against a squad like this. Finally able to catch a full game. Let's go HEAT! PEACE.

Good news everybody- Curry didn't sprain his ankle

Warriors point guard Stephen Curry got some good new Thursday. An MRI revealed he sustained a bone bruise in his left ankle, per Golden State.

No ankle sprain.

Initially, the Warriors thought it was a bone bruise. After further examination, it was upgraded to an ankle sprain but the MRI revealed the initial diagnosis was correct. Curry is listed as day-to-day.

The injury looked like an ankle sprain. In the third quarter — after he returned from twisting his knee in a tangling with Minnesota guard Ricky Rubio — Curry landed on a defender’s foot while attempting a floater.

This was hard to read

PHILADELPHIA: Andrew Bynum considered retirement last summer and still battles thoughts of giving up his NBA career because he doesn’t enjoy the game anymore, he admitted Thursday on his first day back in Philadelphia.

“It was a thought, it was a serious thought,” Bynum said regarding retirement. “At the moment, it’s tough to enjoy the game because of how limited I am physically. I’m still sort of working through that.”

Asked what his goal is for this season, Bynum said, “Just to be able to play without pain and discover the joy again.”

...

“I’m a shell of myself on the court right now,” he said. “I’m struggling mentally. I’m trying.”

I think there's a very good chance the Clippers are going to get blown out. The back end of a back to back on the road without Matt Barnes, one of only 2 decent bench players, is a very bad place for the Clippers to be. I think they're going to end up moving Crawford for a halfway decent big by the trade deadline.

Schroder is fucking insane and trying to steal Cousins' penis

Boogie clearly threw his nuts into Schroder's fist. Terrible suspension. PEACE.

This was depressing until the end. The light at the end of the tunnel is Melo leaving....and maybe something bad happening to Dolan.

NBA LP asked me to lock in my 5 teams for my subscription. I picked:

Knicks
Magic
Heat
Lakers
Rockets

The Knicks are obvious. The Magic and Heat because I live in Florida now. Lakers, because I want to have faith in Kobechu and his comeback. And Rockets for the fun.

His heart never seemed to be fully in it anyway, but that sucks. Now that we got Oden, it makes me feel really sad for Bynumite. Hopefully he can recover fully and return to form. Being away from the game probably made him realize how important it was to his life. PEACE.

WTF is Chuck talking about? DJ and Blake are two of the poorer big offensively. Dude just likes pushing Miami's buttons. If he had to put money on anyone, he's still putting it on Miami, at the end of the day. PEACE.

Blake's pretty decent offensively, but I'll agree that DJ is very limited in that regard. Blake just needs to get more aggressive and avoid all the injuries that have plagued him these last 2 years.

Did Shaq just say that 2008 Boston didn't have a defensive stopper?

ugh.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

fucking forgot to set my lineups again, dammit

 

[Vire]

Getting ready for the ten point deficit with this shitty lineup. Fuck you Spo, Haslem is garbage now.

 

[Nori Chan]

These new Christmas uniforms are ugly as sin.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Empty Heat arena. Miami "fans." PEACE.

Scalabrine was just that dominant.

fuck the heat.
fuck the clips.
i feel so confused.

The Flop King meets his flop master. Come to think of it, there are four legit floppers on the court now.

Would the NBA even exist without flopping?

 

[ratcliffja]

So sick of Redick's terrible defense.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Empty Heat arena. Miami "fans." PEACE.

So clever.

I live a few blocks from the arena. It took me 20 minutes to go 2 miles. Perhaps where you live doesn't experience this thing called rush hour traffic. PEACE.

JJ cannot be stahped

You live a few blocks from the stadium but drive?

bosh said get that shit outta here!

Um yes. Those of us with employable skills usually drive to and from a place called work. PEACE.

miami is the only city that experiences rush hour traffic?
oh the horror.

 

[ratcliffja]

Well DJ is shooting FTs a lot better... maybe he could work on adding some sort of short range game beyond dunking.

 

[Sanjuro]

Um yes. Those of us with employable skills usually drive to and from a place called work. PEACE.

They pay you to go to the stadium?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Looks like we were gonna have a really slow start, but at least we're getting buckets and keeping it close. Still pretty sloppy with the ball though. PEACE.

 

[Pimpwerx]

miami is the only city that experiences rush hour traffic?
oh the horror.

If you found a faster way to the AAA for 7pm, when you work until 5 or 6, feel free to share. The traffic is thick right now for the very reason that people are herding to the arena. People act surprised everytime the seats are slow to fill, but they fill anyway. It's not a coincidence. Mass transit isn't practical in this city. PEACE.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I'm at the game and I got here before tipoff. But for a 7 start you can't expect people to get off work and be here at time

I was hoping to see the Clips team that played in Orlando last night. This team doesn't look like they're on game 2 of a b2b. PEACE.

You haven't seen our backups yet. Just wait.

What employable skills do you have? Does you type "PEACE" at end of all office memos?

Bingo. There's annoying, then there's pure basketball evil.

 

[Mahonay]

This Miami/LAC game has been fun to watch so far.

 

[ratcliffja]

Aaaand there's the bench.

 

[UnObtainium17]

damn what a play for a jesus layup.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Battier's growing a mustache for November.

 

[ratcliffja]

Yeah we're about to go down double digits, our starters are really going to have to step up.

 

[Mahonay]

Lol, Willie Green struggling hard trying to defend James.

At least he just made a nice assist to Griffin.

 

[Emwitus]

Miami defense is amazing

 

[Mahonay]

Willie Green can play offense at least.

 

[ratcliffja]

Mullens has made 2 baskets in the first quarter. Maybe this is the semi-annual Mullens miracle game.

Edit: Willie Green is MUCH better on defense than he is on offense. He's just too small to be guarding LeBron.

Yeah, very good point. Oversized by LeBron for damn sure. And you never hear about big Willie Green offensive games.

MULLENS AGAIN. TAKING OVER. lol

Best shape up his life Ray ray said!


Birdman J!

Daaaamn that reverse layup by Allen.
