2150199, Uh, NBA Tuesday? 03.19.2013?
Posted by bshelly, Tue Mar-19-13 08:09 PM
Y'all are slipping if I'm the one making the post. I know there's only one good game on, but it's 66-65 at half, and wilson chandler is getting away with arm bars left and right
2150218, How is Portland this bad?
Posted by SoulHonky, Tue Mar-19-13 08:19 PM
They need to get Nate back. Stotts isn't doing shit with more talent.
2150340, They have to run the starters into the ground just to stay competitive...

against even the worse teams. That bench is straight up awful.
2150351, partially a schedule loss, they played a tough game in Philly last night
Posted by celery77, Tue Mar-19-13 10:45 PM
but other than that, what BlassFemur said -- the fact that their record is as GOOD as it is is the real surprise. they're playing five rookies in the rotation, they're the second youngest team in the NBA, and their bench is easily the worst. even sniffing playoffs is an accomplishment for this group.
2150223, Chandler got that eurostep, protect the ball stiff arm move down.

Kind of the next evolution of the 2-hand-cradle-like-a-fullback jump stop.
2150256, Ty keeps cookin cats as if he's an elite PG
Posted by FILF, Tue Mar-19-13 08:46 PM
2150259, Westbrook been outplaying durant since the trade
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Mar-19-13 08:47 PM
Deadline
2150281, It doesn't help that Russy has been dominating the ball even more
Posted by FILF, Tue Mar-19-13 09:07 PM
2150283, Sure Mutherfuckas wanna blame russy for everything
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Mar-19-13 09:12 PM
when Durant who is now "handling the ball less" is averaging 1 more turnover post AS break (4.5 turnovers a game in march)

Shooting from 3 down 10% to 33% and and shooting from the field down 5% to 45%.

Not sure if he's hurt or tired but this isnt on Russ.
2150287, Durant himself is being too passive (not the case today)
Posted by FILF, Tue Mar-19-13 09:17 PM
From what I witnessed early on this month against the Spurs...Russy wasn't helpin' at all.
2150266, Denver goin for 13 straight
Posted by CherNic, Tue Mar-19-13 08:54 PM
2150284, Monta peaking at the right time for that arab money in the off-season
Posted by FILF, Tue Mar-19-13 09:14 PM
2150293, Lets think of best fits for Monta
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Mar-19-13 09:24 PM
Memphis, nah
Clippers, Nah
Spurs, maybe, but they wont pay
Dallas, maybe, but they gonna pay OJ?
Rockets, nah
Lakers, nah
Golden State, nah
Denver, maybe
Minn, yea, replace Roy
Portland, push Wes to the bench but you take the ball out of Lillards hands a lot more which could be good or bad
Utah, actually could work

In the East

NY, lol thatd be fun, but no money
Brooklyn nah
ATL, seems like this could happen though not a great fit
Chi, bulls fans would love him in theory next to rose
Bos, nah
Philly, nah
Tor, next to Rudy Gay? lol
Wiz, nah
Orlando, ehhh
2150348, I bet he goes to PHX since they missed out on Fat Gordon.
Posted by FILF, Tue Mar-19-13 10:39 PM
>Spurs, maybe, but they wont pay
Pop is more worried about resigning Tiago/Neal as opposed to bringing in a new blood. Even if Manu retires, Corey Josephs is just going to be pushed into the regular rotation.

>Dallas, maybe, but they gonna pay OJ?
They need a true point not another undersized gunner.

>Denver, maybe

>Minn, yea, replace Roy
They should at least put up some offer before Love starts pouting.

>Portland, push Wes to the bench but you take the ball out of
>Lillards hands a lot more which could be good or bad
If only Monta could play off the ball.....coulda been Bullips/Rip 2.0

>Utah, actually could work
They need to utilize their big men & Monta isn't going to help.

>ATL, seems like this could happen though not a great fit
They already have Monta lite in Lou Wills

>Chi, bulls fans would love him in theory next to rose
He would help their bench but I don't see how he is a fit next to rose since he isn't a spot up shooter.
2150352, further proof a HS education only can serve these pros just fine
Posted by celery77, Tue Mar-19-13 10:47 PM
there should really be more press about what an achievement it is for Monta to come from being the 42nd pick to where he is today instead of all the negative press he gets for the limitations in his game.
2150419, it's not about academics n.m.

2150326, lol at this Ice Cream dude at the Pacers game
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Mar-19-13 09:49 PM
so good.


2150366, DJ killin the Clippers. Damn
Posted by BlassFemur, Tue Mar-19-13 11:25 PM
2150371, CP3 is also playing a really poor game for his standards
Posted by LA2Philly, Tue Mar-19-13 11:27 PM
Missing a lot of looks that normally go down and sloppy with the ball...he almost just threw it away on a jump pass...Kobe-esque.
2150376, yeah CP3's fuckin up bad tonight.
Posted by BlassFemur, Tue Mar-19-13 11:31 PM
2150369, lmfao @ this DeAndre Jordan shit
Posted by Organ, Tue Mar-19-13 11:26 PM
2150372, You see Thomas do the full court sprint to try and foul him? LOL
Posted by LA2Philly, Tue Mar-19-13 11:28 PM
2150378, yeah hahahahahaa
Posted by Organ, Tue Mar-19-13 11:32 PM
intense game of tag

>
2150374, Toney Douglas is cooking. 8 straight pts and defending CP3 well
Posted by LA2Philly, Tue Mar-19-13 11:29 PM
2150377, 11 straight for Toney. Dude just hit a pump fake lean in 3 from 30 feet
Posted by LA2Philly, Tue Mar-19-13 11:31 PM
2150379, Well, cotdamn. Sac with 10 makes in a row..the last 4 from distance
Posted by LA2Philly, Tue Mar-19-13 11:33 PM
CP3 turnover and ensuing Thornton 3 was the nail.
2150381, It's wasn't as costly as Utah's loss, but the Clippers really didn't...
Posted by BlassFemur, Tue Mar-19-13 11:39 PM
need that.
2150382, wow @ this Chris Paul flop tonight

2150383, FINE'EM
Posted by Guinness, Tue Mar-19-13 11:45 PM
2150426, if that's not a fine then just get rid of the rule
Posted by rjc27, Wed Mar-20-13 08:00 AM
2150427, have they fined anyone lately?
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Mar-20-13 08:01 AM
Maybe I havent been looking but I havent seen or heard about any fines lately
2150428, Damn Denver in the 3 seed with some homecourt?
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Wed Mar-20-13 08:03 AM
Shit if thats the case I'd prefer the Rockets to stay in 7 or 8 almost.

Thats a scary team with lots of depth for the early rounds. Id almost rather play this "struggling" OKC team early


That'd also bourne a Clippers vs Grizz rematch
