I might have to catch that game on league pass. The trollcats you can't call every foul system against LeBrons true form will be amazing to watch.

Hendothug is playing for money right now, shit might get ugly. Wade might want to wear a cup to the game.

The Bobcats will get three cracks at the Heat including the 33rd, Lakers tying game.
Don't disappoint.

Sunday's game is the 2nd of a b2b, the April 5th game at home might be a better bet.
Just looked at ours and Orlando's schedule too. We have a much easier schedule from here on out, we've got a 3 game cushion but it could end up close. Not that it matters though when there's no clear cut best player. All things equal though you always want the higher pick.

i missed last night's game, how the fuck did LA get blown out so bad by Suns? what happened?

If I'm Dwight I think I leave. There's just no chance to win there, and the new CBA and state of the league kind of kills the sort of deals LA was able to make in the past to keep recycling Top 5 players.

You are assuming Dwight cares about winning in the first place.

One of the "few franchise altering big men in the NBA"? He's had one good season ever and he wasn't even that great that season.
Iggy nearly led that team to the conference finals. Bynum hasn't done shit really so I don't see how it was supposed to catapult them into contender status.
I'm sure they already have plans for a Dwight/Love future in 2015.

It's a shame that most 260 plus big men can't stay healthy anymore. Oden, Bynum, Bogut, Chandler, Yao, etc; the list is pretty damn long. Hell even Dwight and Drummond (as young as he is) are battling injuries. It's insane that we've gone as long as we have without seeing a consistently healthy, dominant big but at this point I'd say it makes more sense to expect bigs to have short careers. Long, lean guys like Horford, Aldridge, Noah, and Bosh are where the league is heading.
Everyone that saying otherwise are the crazy one.
Rondo or at least a point guard. We don't have a point guard right now and it shows.
If you say he hasn't played a full season except the lockout shortened season then you'd be right.
Number wise he's been pretty consistent from 08-12. He just played less minutes from 11-12 due to his health. Even with the reduced minutes his numbers were still pretty respectable.
So there's no reason to doubt he can't produce that kind of numbers IF he's healthy, especially in the East. But it's a big if because history shows us he simply can't stay healthy.
In short, the deal breaker is his health and shitty attitude, not basketball ability.

whoa whoa whoa.
Lets be hones we were about to get that work if Rose didn't go down...and even then it took Noah's ankle doing to harlem shake for us to beat them in 7.
We had maxed out with Iggy at the helm. The bynum trade failed big time...but I get the idea behind it. Get a Young Big and build with him and Jrue. On paper it sounded awesome..but his knees are made of paper so yeah.
But a common misconception is that we blew up the Jordan Bulls. We blew up the Joe Johnson Hawks...at best.
Unfortunately...that where we are probably headed back to but still.
They have done a great job greatly inflating his value.. trading him would be smart.
Utah sports sucks right now.. at least i'm not a Ute fan, right IWMTB?
Not crazy at all. Pretty freakin damning when your pg gets hurt and your offense runs more efficiently.

Rondo/Bradley seems awesome. Did they suck together?
they barely played together, which is why the whole better without Rondo thing is being completely overblown.
that's one reason I'm glad I live in kansas...football and baseball will both be better this year, and college bball is dope (ku, ksu, witchita st) and college football (ksu) was pretty fun too.
still wish the kings would come here, starting a #freejimmer campaign would be amazing.
Bradley isn't a point guard. They played pretty effectively together, this season both had injuries when the other was playing for the most part.

They both can't shoot. Why have a 1 and 2 that can't shoot consistent jumpers?
at least avery will get better. isn't this only his 2nd year? and I was under the impression that rondo was getting better. or maybe that was just a fluke playoff run or something.
Miami's next 4 are against bad teams before they play the Bulls. If they win the next 4 they would be at 27 in a row. Somehow I think they lose one of the next 4. Let down games after this big win over Boston last night.
Who else would be interested in signing Bynum besides the Sixers? If they offer him anything for than a 1-2 year deal they would be fools.

rondo was shooting almost 50% from mid range until the end of january, i dont have the link on my phone though
Sean Smith can't catch anything
I hope you're ready for that
and anthony fasano is the walking definition of mediocrity
I can live with sean smith dropping balls as long as bowe, baldwin, avery, etc can make up for him. plus we got moeaki still, and he's a stud.
not to mention the solid defense, great rb(s), and safe qb...we'll definitely be better than 2-14. do we win the division? I doubt it, not if peyton plays like he did last year. could challenge for it though.
You'll probably be 10-6 or 9-7. dat 4th place schedule

Rondo for Al Jeff?
meh being a BYU fan right now is barely better.
at least bball has the Lone Peak kids coming and football has KVN coming back.

Evidently none of those cameras can tell them that they have the worst GM in professional sports.

Every team is dealing with that issue, not just the Lakers. Are the Mavs with an aging Dirk in any better position? More importantly, Dwifht ain't turning down that extra $20 million the Lakers can offer. At this point I'm not sweating it if he leaves, but I'd like to keep him around. He's clearly not a franchise big in the vein of Shaq, but if worst case he is a younger rich man's Tyson Chandler, that's still a nice building block to keep around for a 2014/15 rebuild.

If the Jazz want a PG who can't score and is an overrated defender, I would hope they just waste a pick on MCW instead of going for Rondo long-term.

For those of you not from the US, how did you get into the NBA and do you root for other sports?
Curious as to how one becomes a fan with no local team.
Canadians need not apply.

The most efficient way to score is at the free throw line, not beyond the arc.

Damian Lillard plays 39 minutes a game?
what the fuck

Jazz age is the perfect definition of an internet troll who constantly rates a girl clearly out of his league, 1 out of 10.

MCW is awful. I pity the team that picks him.
Until a few weeks ago, our backup point-guards were Nolan Smith and Ronnie Price. He also plays a lot of off-guard in the second unit because our back-up shooting-guard is Will Barton.
