He's at the furthest possible point from Splitter, Ginobli, and Leonard. Seriously it's amazing how a simple off ball screen between Ginobli and Splitter throws him off so bad.

Bargnani with the elite defense

He forced him to miss the shot. What more do you want?

 

[exarkun]

Oh man, I thought I could skip the saturday games since I was busy (and I expected the Rockets to lose) but the Heat lost to Celtics?

He must be a great coach to out coach Spo.

Damn haven't seen that type of effort from him in a while.

Knicks getting through to him?

Derrick Rose is almost Utah Jazz bad.

Are they Bobcats going to stop the C'z from winning or what? It's unacceptable.

I still don't think Love is leaving. Especially not to go to New York. He'll opt out, because he would be dumb not to, but he'll re-sign.

Two years ago I would have said you were insane, but now that I'm seeing this team playing I'm having some good thoughts. Maybe he will resign.

The Lakers aren't looking as attractive as I thought they might, at least compared to the Wolves.

:lol

So another hit piece mentions a superstar and its big news? I talk about the 2015 plan every damn day. That plan isn't based on a particular player. Love is nice but with enough money for possibly 2 other max players that year to go alongside Melo..... Love isn't everything.

The vibe I've always gotten from Love is that as long as the team is good, he'll stay. Granted, it's a year and half away, but I don't think he's going to survey the landscape and find a better position than staying to play with Ricky and Pek.

I have a weird trust in Flip right now. His draft sucked, but his free agent signings were ace. He'll move Williams, he'll make this team better. I think...

Knicks biggest mistake is thinking that Carmelo is a #1 player to build around. He's gonna be 31 years old in 2015 and have been in the league 12 years at that point.

Yeah, I don't see how that's a really enticing pitch to guys in 2015. "Come play for James Dolan alongside a 31 year old Carmelo!"

Especially after seeing Denver try and fail, even with a far better coach.

Hopefully MKG gives Crash the burial he deserves.

Or Henderson gets hit with a barrage of dicks from the stands.

 

[Tom Penny]

Melo is still a franchise player. He needs players that can knock down shots when he gets them the ball though.

Melo is even worse in that play. He should've planted his feet and taken a charge. Instead he bailed.

This^^^ you look around and regardless if he is a number 1 or not their aren't that many guys in the league who demands a double team.

idk what your talking about ....

but i guess an obligatory "oh you got me" and "boy you must feel smart" is owed then. I didn't realize i had to avoid reilo basketball traps as we were discussing basketball.......

 

[Vahagn]

Jumping from seventh seed to best overall record in the league while you're the clear leader of your team is kind of the definition of MVP. He's an MVP who's been hurt/injured for the past 2 years.

Just like if Pacers finish this season with the best record in the league PG might get it.


It ain't about best player in the game

You have been trolled. The joke is that Melo never gets his teammates the ball.

He was a fraud MVP but not because he's rusty now

you guys must all feel like Einstein, pulling a Melo doesn't pass the ball joke?

That's like Tom Penny's entire shtick. I don't get how you actually believed a word he said.

You know what, I just don't have the heart to say it.

Everythings going to be just fine.

Hey man, playing both ways is hard. Or something.

Spurs say...

Off Rtg: 105.5 (8th of 30) &#9642; Def Rtg: 96.1 (2nd of 30)

Is it?!

 

[ratcliffja]

I... actually think that would help both teams. Knicks are never going anywhere, but that could at least help them make the playoffs, while the Raptors get rid of a player that's doing more harm than good when they actually have players that can score.

Jazz waived Tinsley and picked up Diante Garrett.

I liked Tinsley last year and he was decent last year, but he can't play anymore.

Diante Garrett's numbers from college are terrible and he'll be playing serious minutes for this team for the next few games...

Randle, Wiggins, Embiid, Parker, Young, Harrison, Selden, WCS, and Harris all playing tonight. Four of the guys projected to battle for the #1 pick, five other potential lottery picks, and other potential first-round picks in two games. That's pretty good.

i can't wait until dante exum has been in the league for like 13 years and we can start calling him dante exhumed

The NBA is engaged in settlement talks with Ozzie and Daniel Silna to end a contract that has long been described as "the greatest sports business deal of all time," according to sources close to the situation.

No agreement has been reached, but talks are ongoing.

The Silna brothers are the former owners of an old ABA franchise known as the Spirits of St. Louis. When the ABA merged with the NBA in 1976, the Silnas agreed to dissolve their team in exchange for a small percentage of the NBA's future broadcast revenue.

At the time, it seemed like an irrelevant concession by the league. But it's become a financial windfall for the Silnas. They receive 1/7 of the television revenues of the four ABA teams that were absorbed: the Spurs, Nuggets, Nets and Pacers. The NBA currently has $7.4 billion in TV contracts with ABC/ESPN and TNT.

The kicker in the Silnas' deal is that it goes on in perpetuity.

Last season, the Silnas, who bought the Carolina Cougars for $1 million in 1973 before moving the club to St. Louis, received a reported $19 million from the NBA.

Since the deal was reached in 1976, the league has paid the Silnas $300 million in TV royalties. Recently, a judge ruled that the brothers also have rights to Internet revenue.

Because the Silnas' cut diminishes the dividends of the NBA's 30 team owners, the league has long sought to settle the contract.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9961147/sources-nba-tries-end-costly-aba-deal

Yeah, if I'm Ozzie and Daniel Silna, this is my stance:

Spoiler

Fuck you. Pay me.

I mean, these guys and their families stand to make billions over the next... forever. No way could any potential settlement live up to that.
