Can we get back to arguing about the lakers now?
I'm not upset, it's just one of those unwritten rules that you don't do that.
why?
It's considered sportsmanship in the NBA to not run up the score when victory is already ensured.
The funny thing is, it is the exact opposite in Europe. You play hard even in garbage time as a sign of respect to your opponent.
Is flopping part of playing hard?

Dream is better than any player that is, has or in the future will ever wear a Heat uniform.
I'll take my two past championships thanks to him and the Jazz fans can have their life long hate.
Is Harrison Barnes making it a point to posterize every team in the NBA?
Guy has like 3 of the Top 5 dunks of the year in just the past couple of weeks.
but chars said
Hahahahaoh shit am i gonna get banned again?

So how long until Kobe goes back to gunning each game and neglecting teammates?
Or is this Kobe Nash hybrid gonna last the whole season??

Utah needs to strike now while the iron is hot and get what they can for Jefferson. The Bobcats are there for you Jazz-gaf. Tell him we have the best furniture makers in the country in Highpoint, they'll make him the best bed money can buy.
i don't get it, why would bobcats want al jefferson?
they need to tank next year...and hopefully get one a surefire superstar in parker or wiggins
The only thing the Bobcats have that we'd want is their #3 pick and an apology for what they've done to the sport the last couple of years.

Allen Iverson wrote on Twitter that he has declined an invitation to join the D-League's Texas Legends.
The Legends have been pursuing Iverson throughout the season.
"I thank Donnie (Nelson) and Dallas for the consideration and while I think the D-League is a great opportunity, it is not the route for me," wrote Iverson.
"I realize my actions contributed to my early departure from the NBA, should God provide me another opportunity I will give it my all," Iverson continued.
Allen Iverson has announced that he remains hopeful of getting one last shot at the NBA but says he's turning down the opportunity to launch his comeback in the NBA Development League.
Iverson tweeted: "I thank Donnie and Dallas for the consideration and while I think the D-League is a great opportunity, it is not the route for me."
The Legends' pitch to Iverson centered around the fact that they've just convinced NBA veterans Delonte West and Rashad McCants to join their team with similar intentions and have a history of helping players make it back to the highest level.
The Legends signed another 37-year-old earlier this month -- point guard Mike James -- and wound up putting James in position to earn a 10-day call-up to the Mavericks that turned into a guaranteed contract after James completed his second 10-day deal Sunday.
What an idiot.
Why would the Raptors want to trade away Ed Davis and spend $19 million on Rudy Gay, who's only a marginal upgrade on DeRozan and would have $36 million sunk into 3 non-all star wing players, when their Lebron is in the next draft?
Some franchises are just run by short-sighted fools.
What in the hell is this from??
Still need to get to a computer

damn. These last 10 pages have been a bloodletting.Going hurt me more than it's going hurt you
Are there rumors of The Bobcats wanting Al or is Cats-age hoping Jefferson will mentor the young guys?
There aren't any rumors, I've seen some of our fans discuss it though. DY doesn't want him, but we need someone who can score in the post badly and we will have some money to spend at the end of season so I think it's worth a shot. I sincerely doubt Al wants to play in Charlotte, but stranger things have happened.

but if i could get rid of either Bargnani or Derozan for Gay I would definitely think about it...
I'd prefer to give up Calderon over Lowry if we have to trade a PG as well. I am not interested in signing Calderon long term... we've tried this direction for the last 7 or 8 years and it hasn't really worked out. And given his play this season, I think it's unrealistic to expect him to sign a contract where he gets paid less than 7 mil/year.
whether or not he wants to play for them (i mean, who really WANTS to play for teams liek the bobcats and raptors) I think he won't cause a stink. He's been a part of some really bad teams already so whatever...
but with that said, I don't think you guys need a player like Jefferson. He'll add a few wins which can be the difference from a number 1 or 2 pick to a 5 or 6 pick.
and I get what you (or was it someone else) were saying about the losing culture...but the addition of a surefire superstar changes all of that IMO. Soon as you got a guy like that, you become instantly more attractive to coaches, scouts, and your franchise no longer looks like a dead zone. A guy like Parker or Wiggins combined with Kemba/MKG/Biyombo can quickly change the culture from a perennial loser to an up and coming team. And THEN you should go after guys like Jefferson.
I'm just not sure if The Bobcats are done tanking, do you think Kemba/Hendo/MKG/This year's pick & Al can do anything worthwhile? I'd rather let the 4 young guys try to figure it out and maybe get another good pick for 2014.
I'm too cynical to expect someone like Wiggins to fall into our laps. We could tank for another two years and still not find that guy. We have to try though, and you're right that signing Al would make it even less likely.
