Why did J.R. Smith get benched last night? He reportedly complained about minutes in the previous game. http://sbn.to/1hYltUQ


lol, keep being a little bitch, jr.

Yeah off-topic, but who cares? I'm an Arkansas fan. Also, Randle really doesn't look like he'll be any good at the next level unless he packs on a lot of muscle. He's dominant in college, but not in a way that seems maintainable when everybody else is big and strong.
 
I watched the postgame and the JR interview Monday night. Reporter asked him why he thought he was benched earlier and didn't play much. JR didn't give an inflammatory answer or anything, I really don't get what's going on here. Woodson is going in hard on this dude for no reason, I wonder if JR lost the nude pics of Woody's daughter and this is coach's way of getting payback.

*shrug roleplayers sit everyday, B

If JR doesn't play like the 6moty he doesn't get to complain.

And TD is trash..... I like Brooks for the warriors though. Dude is a scorer whose been in a bad position his whole career. He could thrive in GS system as a off the bench scoring option. GS did well in this deal.
 
Hopefully Nerlens plays this year and looks as great as was down the stretch in college.

Embiid finally took the #1 slot on Ford's big board.

How is Lowry's WS/48 so high? Nash has had a WS/48 above .215 only once in his career, and Lowry's stats aren't nowhere near as good. He's shooting 43.3FG% overall this season so WTF.

Extremely high three point attempt rate high three point percentage leads to a really high TS%. He has massively cut down on his turnovers and low turnovers plus high TS% plus high usage leads to a ton of offensive win shares. The Raptors are a very good defensive team and he gets steals so his DRtg is good so he gets a good bit of defensive win shares as well.
 
And getting Brooks helps with another scorer. Probably not good news for Bazemore but I'm fine with that right now.

Yeah, it's not good news for Bazemore. But then again Jackson was playing him in a role he isn't suited for so maybe it will work out. If you guys cut him I will probably start a letter writing campaign to Rich Cho so we can bring him back to NC, lol.

What? He has fifty million reasons to be hard on JR. What pisses me off is hes waited this long to do anything about it.

Plus rumors say hes still pissed about his bro getting cut and not getting minutes during the Phoenix game. Dude was supposedly bitching about it and was late to team meetings and stuff.

Fuck JR. Dude needs 25+ games of last years 6MOY play before hes redeemed

Bazemore has been a letdown this year. Dude peaked in summer league. In his defense though, Jackson did him no favors by playing him as backup point. Anyone with a set of eyes could see how bad his ball handling abilities are. I've never seen a guard handle the ball so high.

Showing up late to a meeting after being fined / benched for being a moron speaks highly of his character. And the whining about minutes. I'm not sure you get to whine about minutes while shooting 36%

But he is who he is now.

Somehow I got involved in a Twitter argument where one guy complained that Lebron isn't close to approaching what Jordan made in 97/98. Nevermind the fuck that Jordan made < $4mil/yr the 5 seasons prior.

The guy quickly started an argument about whether I believe in socialism and how the NBA isn't a truly 'free' system.

... like... not shit. There is no other league to compete with it. Lebron making $20mil/yr isn't outrageous because some douchebag signed a $200mil/7yr contract in the MLB.

No mention of Toney Douglas in the Heat press release, only of Joel leaving.

My guess is Douglas won't even play one minute in a Heat uniform.

Incredibly Naive
The tank continues! Jordan Crawford who I thought for sure would be a tank commander, has been really solid this year. The celts guard situation is spread so ridiculously thin at this point lol.

I'd say the more fun argument is. how would LBJ's stats change if he was shooting 30 times a game.

I'm going to say that they drop a fair way from where they are. He's being very selective with his shots to keep his statistical goals alive. You start putting up more shots than that and you're going to have to stop only taking really good looks, and start taking some average ones.

You're just mad that you didn't get to enjoy KD

I am sure you thought that was an awesome comment.

Speaking for myself, I am not rooting for tanking, at least I wasn't when the season started. As this increasingly looks like a lost season, my take is, why not hope for a better draft position in a deep draft?

Finishing in last place in the West actually helps us going forward.

Ask the Indianapolis Colts how valuable it was to their franchise to tank for a year. Ask the 5pur5.

Shit, let's get something of value outta this shit season.

Well tanking doesn't promise you the best pick in the NBA ask the Celtics...

When there is no plan but to tank and the fans are with it... I just shake my head...
 
So I heard hollinger or some other stats man had the lakers with an 11% chance at pick número uno.

We just lost to the cavs and will lose 7 out of the next 9 easy. I started the season wanting the 8th spot, but have hopped on the tanking wagon.
