Back from the Marlins game. Wanted to post from there, but...BIRDMAN, BIRDMAN!!! Glad the tattooed terror is back. The league has officially been put on notice. We just reloaded with the steal of the draft James Ennis. It's ain't a game no more. PEACE.

You'd have a better free throw shooting team

Dwight made almost 300 more free throws than Kaman did last year. :p

Which makes me think, Houston is just going to fuck people with foul trouble next year. Harden and Howard are going to get opened up because the other team will constantly have to be careful about fouls.
 
hansbrough is garbage. selfish, doesn't rebound and is inefficient for a power forward.

then again i'm not sure the raptors are actually tanking

I'm sorry you had to witness that atrocity of a franchise

My friend knows the stadium dj, so he got us nice seats. That park is absolutely amazing. No lie. My tax dollars have helped pay for one hell of a baseball park. The sightlines remind me of Fenway with how close you feel to the park, and the concessions are easily the best in South Florida. I am massively impressed with Marlins Park. Too bad I don't care much about baseball anymore, and hate this team's ownership. I did get to see a pickoff at 2nd, a throwout at home and a Marlin went yard to set off the gaudy centerfield statue. All in all, a good night. PEACE.

I know what the salary cap is, but I don't understand that luxury tax thing. There is also a lot of movement these days of players that I didn't know. Damn I feel that I don't know anything about basketball...

nba has a soft cap, the luxury tax is the penalty for going over it beyond the allowable amount. at first a team pays a dollar for every dollar they go over the tax, but with the new cba they've implemented punitive repeater rates that can seriously balloon the bill to field an expensive team.

Your NBA luxury-tax champions from the 2012-13 season? Lakers informed tonight that they were officially charged $29,259,739 in '12-13 tax

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 11m
Rest of NBA's 2012-13 tax bills: 2. MIA ($13,346,242), 3. BKN ($12,883,647), 4. NYK ($9,962,406), 5. CHI ($3,932,336), 6. BOS ($1,181,640)

Taxes, man. Building some roads.
 
OK, now we can laugh at Brooklyn

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine now
Wanna know how new NBA world works? With essentially same payroll as Lakers last season, Nets will owe$70+ mil in tax after 2013-14 season

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 10s
You read right, my friends. Nets projected, at this early juncture, to owe somewhere between $72M and $77M in taxes after coming season

Why are the Knicks fans talking trash?

They're the ones stuck with Carmelon.

They just follow the example of their little mascot. It's in their nature to talk trash.

Think of all the bad times they have had and will continue to have. They got to have something to do, might as well shit on other teams and their players to help them forget what they have.

I don't even talk shit. I know my team is trash

but coming into the season all of nba-gaf said was how the Nets were better than us. We finished with a better record and we didn't lose to a team whose best player was Nate Robinson.

Well that makes you one of the few sane Knicks-age fans.

I honestly never even pay attention to the Nets or when people bring them up here. I guess if I were a Knicks fan that would bother me, but it's no different than the Knicks (not yourself) fans tonight talking shit about the Rockets and Howard.

I live in NYC so I've been around plenty of Knicks fans and most are not like you... unless I just happen to only know the biggest asses in city who root for the team.

matrix, everyone talks trash Einstein. rockets aint shit either.

Not everyone trash talks other teams when they know their team is shit. I don't go into baseball threads and shit talk teams fans cause I know my Astros are dog shit. Wouldn't do it if the Rockets stank. Didn't do it with the Texans either when they sucked.

I know why Knicks fans talk shit regarding the Rockets, but tonight it was like a one- two punch of Knicks/Lakers age at the Rockets regarding Howard which was honestly f-ing odd as hell.

kabango looks trash in summer league and probably won't make the roster

kabongo is a pure pg, if his teammates are trash, then he'll be trash too. Dunno why the Heat didn't let him play more in the summer league. Their roster is full of iso guys and general garbo. Rick Barnes is a terrible coach, and I felt Kabongo should have stayed one more year, but hes at least NBA back-up good.

The Rockets are a 2nd round playoff team with no chance of chipping in the foreseeable future just like the Knicks. We can all talk shit about each other.

Well at least we have the excuse of playing in a Conference where the teams are a hell of a lot better :)

Because Kabongo (1) can't shoot and (2) couldn't get the team into its offense quick enough. It's really telling when your "pure pg" is replaced by a combo guard, and does a better job running the offense. We're just tinkering with Clark at the point, because that's the only way to fit him in the roster, but he's running the point better than Kabongo. Cedric Jackson is too. Kabongo started losing minutes from the 2nd game. He's not ready yet. He needs some years overseas...or shoulda stayed in college longer. PEACE.
