I'd get excited but practically everybody who doesn't get cut by their 2nd year makes that game.
"@AlexKennedyNBA: Picks 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 from the 2013 NBA Draft didn't get invited to the Rookie-Sophomore game"
Crazy.
:OBrah.
I have been educated.
Correct.
P.S. Does anyone else remember the last OKC player to get snubbed as a sophomore (although he was later added as an injury sub)? Hint: he was my old avatar.

Porter will be free of his chains this summer I think
Not selling high on Ariza would be so Grunsfeld though

Serious question Spooks, how much do you drink?
And it'll be the same next year when the new rookie class dominates the selection.

this season has seen so many injuries.
10th pick was McCollum and he was injured until 10 games ago. 5th pick is Alex Len and he's been injured, too. 6th pick is Noel and he's injured, too.
The rest just suck. So that's unfair to lump them in with the other group.

BTW fellas, I forgot to mention I'm running in my first race in a few weeks. 10k.
I've taken both giri's and pilnov's running advice. I pretty much stayed at 5k distance for a couple months before ramping up. Also been training on hills on the weekend.
I'm still not very fast, IMO. I did do a mile time trial and hit 6:30 which nearly killed me (when I started I was doing 8:30). My 10k pace seems to be about 9:00-9:30 per mile on hills.
The 10k race is almost half hills, so it makes sense to look at that. I think flat I can pull something closer to an 8 minute pace.
Not that anyone really cares, but I wanted to give a small update and thank pilnov and giri for their advice. No injuries (though catching colds have cost me training) and I've lost some weight too which was nice.

Nope.
This season hasn't been anywhere near as bad for injuries as recent ones.
And a lot of this years injuries are recurring ones from last year too. Nash, Kobe, YNB, Wade.
Good to hear and best of luck. When i get healthy i plan to actually do some timed races this year too.
Eh? I haven't seen Len play enough to make that conclusion, but McCollum can ball and he'll be getting more and more playing time as the season unfolds, especially since Portland has no backup SG to give Matthews a breather.

Running a 10k is impressive by itself.
Eh? Len has shown signs of good touch and moves. I think there's genuine hope for him.
Whether he'll ever get that time to develop i don't know. But he's been ok all considered.

Barnes made it over MKG and Henson, lol.
Len did nearly nothing in the pre-season with quite a few minutes and is getting 6.4 minutes in his last 10.
CJ wouldnt get more than 16-18 ppg on that team even if he started the season healthy... and his 8 PER isnt exactly steller since returning.
I'm not saying either suck, im saying their stats dont and wouldnt look much differently than some other players like KCP or Mclemore.

He got a total of 77 minutes across 5 games after coming back from ankle surgery.
Not sure i qualify that as quite a few minutes.
His playing time at the moment is Hornaceks way of keeping him in the rotation. Like he has done for all the young players, trying to make sure they all get minutes.
I doubt he does anything significant this season given all he's been through, but for him, it's about building towards next season. So they're keeping him engaged and around the playing group. And used to the NBA speed so he can hopefully not go at a foul a minute.

I see so much of Barnes in Wiggins..
i meant quite a few minutes in pre-season.
That is pre-season numbers.
well at least its over double what he has gotten recently.

oladipo is averaging 16/5/4 on 44% shooting (33% from three) in january
still takes too many threes given his percentage but he's settling in after a bad december, already one of the best shotblocking guards in the league
