    I need to save this quote for January.

    Although, I hope I'm wrong and by finally being on a professional basketball team with other professional basketball players he's learned to play professional basketball.

    He was my favorite player when he was out here in Oakland, but my god was he infuriating.

    you have to be pretty worthless at basketball to not be able to play better when out there with a guy who impacts the game on offense as much as a dirk

    If you're a basketball fan do yourself a favor and watch Steph Curry's highlight reel from tonight's game against Detroit. It'll give you an erection.

    My friends and I are seriously wondering if the Cavs are tanking. They can't actually be this bad...

    It just might be that Mike Brown is not a good coach when he doesn't have the best player in the world on his team.

    The Sixers seriously have no business beating Houston, even without James Harden.

    Not really. Houston looks terrible. Howard can't do anything but rebound, Asik is a waste of space with Dwight on the team. They have no established point guard other than Lin, and he turns the ball over fifty times a game and without Harden they can't default to their standard give the ball to him and run an iso in the half court.

    They are seriously shit.

    the Rockets are a different team without Beverley (at 100%) and Harden defensively

    Minnesota's penetration made it look like Cleveland wasn't even trying. I know the players weren't a big fan of Byron Scott but can they already hate Mike Brown too? I really do wonder since teams like Philly, Charlotte, Boston, and Phoenix overachieving if the Cavs management are seeing opportunity in the lottery of the next draft.

    yeah, harden is probably one of the worst perimeter defenders in the league

    also that's a clear elbow violation on mj

  • ButtersButters A glass of some milks Registered User regular
    He's not just bad on the perimeter he's lazy all over the court and pretty much has been ever since he's become a starter.

    Clearly a lot of preseason expectations are not totally panning out but Houston's really in trouble unless they can make some moves. I think they were counting on Dwight to make up for their poor perimeter defense but he's not the force of nature he used to be.

    Part way through the third and Dwight Howard has 2 points against a Knick team that has no big men on their entire roster.

    ....and he just got blocked by Bargnani of all people.

    This dude sucks.

    Chandler played Dwight well his (Dwight's) last season in Orlando, but he's still on the shelf. How is this even happening?

    Also, re: previous posts, I say, as ever: Fuck James Dolan. He is one of the worst fucking owners in sports..

    As every game should.

    It's so weird seeing my Warriors on national television. On the plus side, this mean we're good. On the negative side, this means Reggie Miller.

  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    Yeah, on that 2nd part, better you than me. His sister's still better than him.

    This is a really good game. I feel for all you people on the east coast that are sleeping through it.

    Andre Iguodala is having my babies. Holy shit!

  • NiryaNirya Registered User regular
    I turned the game on in time to watch the ending.

    Just....holy shit.

    if Woodson turns Bargnani into a paint presence he deserves another coach of the year award

    I like how lebron's attempts at being candid/casual in ads have gone from being awkward to being sort of endearing

    Spurs won last night. Which it never felt like it was gonna end any other way even when they were down most of the game.

    NBA 2K14 is super realistic. It even gave me a boost in team chemistry for passing the ball to OJ Mayo the second he called for it.

    I even got a little cutscene afterwards where OJ thanked me and told me that passing the ball to him is the best thing for the team.

    ...we lost by 12.

    I agree with this article

    Yeah that looked more like the Sixers team I was expecting to say. Also this is not news but I think that Anthony Davis has a future in the NBA, yes I do.

    Jeremy Lin leaving bothered me a bit, but it was 100% the right move, and unless he grew 1 foot taller over the last year, he's definitely not a player the Knicks could use right now.
