Rajon Rondo just got suspended for a game for something he said to an official back in the Bush administration (well, actually, it was December 3).

Update: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba-re...alleged-homosexual-slur-to-him-174255321.html

Surprised that it took 8 days to level a suspension, and am frankly surprised now that it's only 1 game.

Good for Bill Kennedy. I'll be very disappointed in Rondo if he knew that Kennedy was gay before saying what he did.

it's likely, considering that doc rivers also used the same slur against bill kennedy:

http://deadspin.com/nba-ref-bill-kennedy-announces-hes-gay-days-after-rajo-1747937581

according to tim donaghy (dubious source, yes), it was an open secret that Kennedy was gay and doc called him the f-word. not that i needed anymore reasons to hate the clippers and doc, but there you go

Well that's fucked up.

What the hell happened in the Raptors-Pacers game? Raptors lead 26-10 and I come back and they're down 52-41.

Raps still think they are playing the 76ers. But seriously, our bench hasn't contributed nearly enough. It has been Lowry and DeRozan. Our frontcourt hasn't been great this game.

Kings had that TNT game, NBA didnt want that bad publicity for their premier franchise on big network!
... :/

 

[Doc Holliday]

Bulls doing the same shit they did last year, playing to the level of their competition. Let's hope Dunleavy gets back soon or they need to make a trade. This team is just built weird.

 

[Starphoenix]

Spurs offense is firing on all cylinders right now. Good night!

 

[Dude Guy]

spurs pls

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Man, Christmas is not going to be fun if the Spurs keep playing so well :/

 

[Shamrock7r]

Spurs offense is firing on all cylinders right now. Good night!

What did I say the other day?

Mark my words. Spurs getting the number 1 seed in the West

 

[Starphoenix]

Aldridge is starting to get his bearing in this offense, and the 3-pointers are starting to come back for the team. I know it's against the Jazz on a tough back-to-back, but if Green can actually makes shots again I think the Spurs offense will be alright.

What did I say the other day?

I'm still cautious. Need to see them play with a bit more offensive consistency. They're getting there, but still need some work.

 

[LyleLanley]

The Spurs will never die.

 

[Dude Guy]

Did I just see Matt Bonner with the MOVES?

 

[Starphoenix]

Matt Bonner is tired of being with the third stringers.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

It never ends. Fuck this weird ass bizarro season.

He won't.

Pels fan?

Pels fan?

Zero is a Rockets fan.

 

[B.O.O.M]

As a Blazer fan I'm honestly extremely happy so far about this season. VERY young team with lots of changes to the core over the off season but still play a fun brand of BB while actually getting a decent amount of wins.

 

[Two Words]

How did .500 taste, Houston?

I think the team is nuch funner to watch without having to go through Aldridge all the time. They make a lot of mistakes but they are developing fast. So far this season i'll be yelling at the TV thinking someone is trash like Henderson and then BAM he saves the day! No one is shy about passing either.

how's Vonleh developing?

 

[Starphoenix]

Was reading ESPN and apparently after last night's game the Spurs are ahead of the Warriors in point differential. This is crazy when you consider how little the Spurs have utilized the 3-point shot so far this season.

 

[Edwardo]

Going to the Celts vs Cavs tonight. Gonna be a great game!

Warriors have been playing in a lot of close games in the high 100's.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

And now it's rumored that Dwight is unhappy in Houston...

This season sucks.

Spoiler

Still going watch every game because I'm a FUCKING masochist

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Poor Houston has been infected...

Luke Walton said Harrison Barnes won't play this week and will be reevaluated at the end of the week.

Only two games this week though so that's ok....

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I would want to be traded from Houston just to get away from Harden's beard and stupid celebration.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Well a lot of trade rumors.

I think Cs getting Cousins like I called.

Kings would be dumb to take any other deals .

 

[AcridMeat]

Steve Kerr still doesn't have a time table on when he'll be back. They really botched that first surgery.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

In other Basketball news, I'm really satisfied with my improvement in shooting the ball. I don't air ball as much anymore.

 

[TheSadRanger]

What the heck happened with that? Seems like he's been gone for quite a damn while now.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So injury prone

Iman Shumpert will miss the rest of the fourth quarter after leaving with a groin injury. The Cavs' guard returned to the lineup last week after missing the first 21 games of the season.

 

[DragonKnight]

Was that drake?

 

[SyenceLabb]

So injury prone

He's made out of peanut brittle.

 

[SyenceLabb]

Kobe is playing like he wants a 60+ game before he calls it in. I think he has one of those games in him, but the bad part is he basically has to heat check the whole game so he doesn't miss the opportunity.

 

[AcridMeat]

What the heck happened with that? Seems like he's been gone for quite a damn while now.

They pricked his spinal cord which caused fluid to leak, which is poisonous to the rest of the body (why he had headaches forever), but they took a month to figure out that's what happened. He had a second back surgery to fix it and he's recovering from that.

He basically said he's ready when he's ready, and doesn't want to let the team down. I mean, he said last month he was working out again, so maybe it's the headaches that haven't gone away yet? Frustrating because I bet he would be able to get Jason Thompson better involved in the team than he has been so far, just like Speights last season.

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, headaches and fatigue have been the main things that have lingered apparently. He actually does come to home games and most practices, but it sounds like he needs to be sure about all the travel for away games before he can come back fully.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Steve Kerr is going mess around and be the new Wally Pipp.

 

[Fjordson]

Man Dwight really ain't got the juice anymore it seems. Getting dominated by Cousins right now.

Edit: Drake sitting court side with Vivek lol

 

[overcast]

Go home Rox.

 

[Fjordson]

Goddamn, Harden doesn't even look at the basket at this point. Came down at the fast break, barely jumped, and just threw it off the backboard looking for a foul. Crazy. Wasn't even close to a foul so it was a 4 on 5 for Sacramento going the other way lol.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

What's this I hear about Carmelo to the Heat? Fact or fiction?

 

[slightconfuse]

Wonder if any one tries to trade for dwight

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Wonder if doe one tries to trade for dewight

Dwight come home

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

LAKERS!!!!!!!!

Also, Kobe is ballin' tonight....just like yesterday.

If the Rockets implode, can we have James Harden? I will flip if an Arizona State player plays for the Lakers...just don't coach us if right now is an indication.
