An action packed night with lots of games. Several with playoff implications. We have just about 6 weeks left. Its getting fun again.

Hou at Orlando- We cant lose this game. I mean we cant but it would be a huge blow to our playoff run with a home and home vs dallas coming up. We really need to go 3-2, or 4-1 in our next 5. Orl, Dal, Dal, GS, Phx.

Knicks at Wiz- a nice OKS agenda lite game.

Pacers at raptors- George vs Gay

GSW at Bos- they gonna put Avery on Steph. Let's see what it do. Go C's!

Clippers at Cavs- Woulda been nice to see Kyrie vs CP3. If Cavs pull this off theres gonna be some major partying from Kyrie haters.

Det at NO- The Broiler vs the new Gatekeeper

Grizz at Heat- The type of big team that usually gives the Heat trouble. Bt the Heat also get up for big games.

Mavs at BK- Mavs been losing some tough games. Theyre pretty much done with the playoff race but still have a couple gasps...but they need to win at all costs.

Sac at SA- Sac could give the Spurs some trouble but probably wont

ATL at PHX

Charlotte at Utah- Al and Millsap out but NO way UTAH loses this game even though I need them to.

OKC at Denver- This should be fun.

Gambling Pick of the night Kings +15 again (season record 1-2)

damn my two favorite players NBA media's two favorite player to shit on

Melo vs. Wall shit hard matchup

and if niggas wanna doubt on melo and wall come see me on nba2k13 for ps

that dunk by Gay in the avatar gif looks as if it's worth 5 points.

this shit is almost borderline disrespectful at this point
either that or he is a new breed of stubborn

keeping Shump at SF
c'mon man

*edit*
I think White is at the 3
Still think Stoudemire should get a damn look at starting

>

I mean... if the reason he isn't playing Cope is because he can't defend; please explain why Novak is getting burn.

If we're gonna lose defense either way play the guy that can score in more than one way.

he probably got no sleep and cried before making the decision to bench Kidd lastnight

Bulls, Sixers, and Mavs.

They know their season is over, what else they got to do?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

on another note, I think something's up w/ harden's knee. don't look right.

and say what you want about the magic front office drunk dialing, but nicholson, harris, vucevic and harkless aren't stiffs by any means. and a high pick (well, in this draft, who knows) but still. not a bad job.

Thought you meant parsons.

This defense is frustrating to watch. The truth is its not even always THAT bad, but it seems like the perception of us is were weak defensively so teams just attack us and go off. A lot of tough shots made.

scratch that. your boys aint shown up at all on D. sheesh. at least make an effort.

harden's off though. he's facilitating and being a decoy, but he's got no burst whatsoever.

but hes made 2-3 plays that may be the worst defensive rockets plays of the season

much different skillsets, but you see the talent, and then see times where on d they have no good fucking idea where they should be.

but skillwise, yeah, he can play. and he doesn't lack for confidence.

i was more a valanciunis guy, but d-mo has 20 some games to give morey something to think about come FAgency.

or make himself that much more valuable a trade piece.

seems like Jonas got more love cause you knew what you were gonna get--he was gonna work hard and give you 100%.

Dmo was more skilled but didnt have a great motor or work ethic.

Surprisingly though one of the best things about DMO and why he got the job was cause how hard he worked.

cause that TRob stock looks like a clunker right now

Chad Ford had him as a top 3 pick a while back but then his stock dropped every year. Jonas (2 years younger) wisely entered the draft when his stock was at its peak.

and he looks like 3 of my damn uncles, lol.

they had SIX people from the org at sloan today. definitely going hard on analytics.

Vucevic, Nicholson, and Harkless/Harris make for an interesting group. I'm not a huge fan of Jameer while Afflalo and Big Baby never took the next step but the youth of the Magic is pretty interesting. I also feel like McLemore, Smart, Bennett, and Noel would all make sense for these guys.

If they can dump some of their contracts, they might be in a nice position in a year or so to make a big signing and make a move.

EDIT: What Mad Fapper said.

he was waived by the Kings and Woj says we will sign him. Nice. We were also supposed to sign Omri Casspi but looks like he may not have been cut.

Gotta love him paying millions to buyout Aaron Brooks, who then goes to the team that Petrie just sent Thomas Robinson too to cut millions in payroll.

Petrie really couldn't find a way to work Brooks into the trade or he couldn't find a single team that would trade for him? I'd have to think that someone out there would have given up a bum expiring deal for a flier on Brooks.

bwhahahaha
the trade was 100% potential based.....remember he WAS the 5th pick (cmon)
but hey if yall miss the playoffs at least u know why. diluted ur depth a lil bit
at least the euro is ballin tho. but u didn't have to necessarily trade morris/ppat to get that.....

>at least the euro is ballin tho. but u didn't have to
>necessarily trade morris/ppat to get that.....
>
>
It opened up space for him to play.

Right now Robinson looks terrible. ID rather send him to dleague to get playing time and give Tjones his shot.

he was on the active roster...he could have been playing
ppat/morris could be sitting on the bench right now watching the same shit trob is watching
except when they check in they might actually hit a 3 or 2
i think the plan was actually for trob to be getting these minutes and developing
cept the rockets got him off the plane and found out why he couldn't get minutes on a shitty team

>ppat/morris could be sitting on the bench right now watching
>the same shit trob is watching
>except when they check in they might actually hit a 3 or 2

montejunas is 2-5 from 3.
he's been in their system, playing so well in practice, that he asked to go to the dleague and mchale said no. he was becoming a problem because he was getting too good to keep off the court.

he played his best game of the season against the clippers right before the deadline, and morey doesn't make the trade if he doesn't think the kid is the next man up. certainly not during a playoff push.

>i think the plan was actually for trob to be getting these

again, all morey hate aside, you think they'd trade for a guy who got limited minutes and didn't play well for a cellardweller, to be their starting four down the stretch in a playoff push?

you *actually* think that? cmon.

then why wasn't he getting minutes?
that's on the coaching staff then
and again u can keep morris and or ppat and still give dude minutes

yea
did u see everyone's reaction when they got him?
lol
ppl are dumb like that, i'd expect more of nba front office but given the fact dmo wasn't even getting minutes/starting in those games where yall were underhanded and waiting for the physicals.....i don't think he was the planned starter
ur saying they knew he was this good....but the opportunities he was given don't line up with that

>then why wasn't he getting minutes?
>that's on the coaching staff then
>and again u can keep morris and or ppat and still give dude

rockets most effective lineup was smallball with parsons at the 4. so consider the usual minutes between ppat and morris, and then parsons/delfino there, weren't any.

plus he came from poland to the nba. he flat out wasn't ready for the american game.

it was a steal from a developmental/asset perspective. like I said earlier, the small ball lineup is their most potent, and at least after the trade, mchale is going to want to play the guys he trusts.

and of course in the first 2 games after the trade, dmo played well, and that's that, he's starting.

as far as robinson, he's gonna get broken down and built back up, cause..man, he's terrible.
thing is dragic, lowry, landry, hayes, budinger, parsons, asik, patterson, morris to name a bunch, hardly anyone goes to houston and sucks.
forgetting all the analytics, their player development needs to be looked into.if he's still with the team I wouldn't be shocked if he's markedly better next year.

I dont comment on players I dont watch, or use metrics or boxscores.
so I had no clue why he struggled in sacramento.

first game he was aight, but tonight, he got ripped by al harrington, one of the worst frontcount defenders EVER, and on another possession dribbled the ball of his own leg, in space w/o pressure.

so yeah the kings might have sucked, but he has issues too.

one things the rockets are as good at as any other team in the L is player development. guys tend to get better there than worse.

He's terrible and that trade was terrible.


That woulda been the response if we werent honest and criticizing his play.

take a ton of shots to board, run and gun offense where he can use his athleticism etc
if he can't contribute on this team his trade value will basically be as an add on to make the salaries match up
he has time but shit isn't looking good so far

It was a shit trade but T-Rob has looked pretty overmatched this season. He could still figure it out but I wouldn't expect many minutes from him this season.

Beverly ballin!

Games on channels in gray are blacked out in this ZIP code

against Rick Prry.

Soooo

"I ORBITs the solar system, listenin..."

(C)Keith Murray, "

Early in the season he was unbelievable. Looks like age and the law of averages caught up with him. He's been turning down wide open looks, and its messing up the offense.

then you got the whole "I don't wanna embarrass him" thing.
woody might have hung on too long, but it's not like he signed these dudes.
and i don't hear grunwald taking any shit for signing the old dudes who are breaking down and the starters who can't dribble nor dunk.

but why do basketball players wear mouthguards? I can't imagine it's to avoid losing their teeth. What's the benefits specific to basketball?

>but why do basketball players wear mouthguards? I can't
>imagine it's to avoid losing their teeth.

tell that to ac green when jr reid well full ultimate fighter in his grillpiece.

Relatively easy to bite down on your tongue when you get jarred, and teeth wise it's more just a Pre-caution.

Most cats who do wear it are the ones who are taking punishment in the lane (Exampe: Bron) and they only wear the one-sided one so they can still communicate.

who was that again?

pretty sure it got infected and lingered for a while. really weird/gross way to miss games

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaVAL3DBauU

LOL landry walked off teh court like a G after losing 3 teeth. Dirk was rolling around like a bitch. Dude was like WTF is in my elbow....

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4755953

One crack to the face was enough for me, and I don't even play against the giants that fill the lanes in the pros.

Just got hit in the lower jaw while going for position down low. This was about 4 years ago. Ever since, I wear the mouth guard. And I have been hit in the jaw in a similar way twice since, so it has been very worth it.

ya'll continue with the comedy, lol

im going to bed

Lin makes 14 million in his final year. Felton, Kidd, J.R., Prigioni, and Shump make like 12 this year.

14.5, 6.7, .438 fg, .424 3pt fg.
12.3, 4.9, .417 fg, .308 3pt fg.

figure out for me who's who.

I've got time(c)Mr. Incredible

they all been playing good floor games but not impressing on your boxscore watching since your post last week>

yet uninformed nghs like Magic and Jalen still think we lost for some reason

I left the gym the Mavs were up 17 in the 4th. I get home the Nets are down 5

Pissed me off they didn't put on MSG at the gym, but I'll watch the replay of the game.

This has been a pretty good game

At least 15 seconds in the paint lol

mad?

we woulda lost way worse

.

Before this game the Grizz had won eight straight. Gay is shooting under 40%, with a shameful 46% TS. Unfortunately for the Raps, he's shooting more, too.

both those dudes are shotjackers, in seeming rebellion to the People's Republic insistence that all share in the wealth.

I swear to god, someone shoulda made a documentary about whatever the hell happened over there, I bet there's some bodies buried somewhere...

signficant time. I hope that's not the case. But if so, who steps up in his place? Patty Mills? I would say Gary Neal, but he's not the greatest ball handler. Obviously, Manu will get more minutes in Parker's absence. Let's just hope its a week to week thing or a month at most.

That OKC bench is looking mighty Blazer-ish right now.

garnett crawford and terry shot 6-27 and celts still shot 48%

that's not a good sign.

and we'll be fine come stretch time, 16 -20 remaining games at home
against the likes of Sacramento, Detroit, Toronto, Milwaukee, LAL, New Orleans ,Washington and Portland



we'll be fine

...

they need a coach that will run an offense instead of iso-ball.

in an iso situation. They're lucky KD and Russ are so good at hitting tough shots and making something out of nothing. Cause their offense is shitty.

Blair was a step behind his man but Manu anticipates and threads a 30 foot pass that leads Blair perfectly, in between three defenders, for a layup. The anticipation and accuracy...it was like AR splitting a cover-2 in a 2 foot window between the safety and mike. Best pass I've seen all year, all things considered. Wow
