exciting to have this officially announced

scott brooks is so hardheaded/terrible... their two dominant lineups (russ/durant/ibaka/perkins + thabo/martin) are just not good, meanwhile they dominate with lebron at the 4 http://www.82games.com/1213/1213OKC2.HTM

i wonder if he'll catch on (probably not)

durant's put up a 49.7 PER at PF this season

16.6 at SF

agreed that okc would dominate w/bron at the 4

lol

btw id just like to take a moment to otm myself for being an early and staunch advocate of playing bron and kd at the 4

HOLY SHIT VAREJAO

he's got 29-18-3 with six minutes left, on 12-16 shooting

13-17

16-20

what happened to this guy

lol cavs with 6 bench points

hoping he doesn't shoot again

the great dana barros!

if varejao makes one more shot he'll be number 2 all-time behind MJ on that list

(all-basketballreference time)

varejao also has 1 turnover

LOLOLOL he tried a goofy shot and got blocked RIP

kyrie 14-14 from the line tonight

i like to think that the wackiness of the hacking scenes in this was a wink to how ridiculous the technology scenes in the pierce brosnans bons were (srsly that shit has aged so poorly) but prob not

whoooooops

the royce white thing not going so well

#AnxietyWarriors is quite the hashtag

sooooooooooooooooooooo the raptors scored 5 points tonight and still beat the pacers. hopefully that's the worst of it for the pacers, but i'm not optimistic

knicks are 5-0 w/a +15 point differential

"In hindsight, perhaps it was not a good idea to be open & honest about my anxiety disorder-due to the current situations at hand that involve the nature of actions from the Houston Rockets. As a rookie, I want to settle into a team & make progress; but since preseason the Rockets have been inconsistent w/ their agreement to proactively create a healthy & successful relationship. At this point the Rockets r aware of my position & the reason for my absense. Any other response is inaccurate. This is important to me. It is a health issue. I must advocate for my rights. It is a player-commodity league. The failure to meet my requests for support will end with me being unhealthy & that is not a consequence that I am willing to accept to play any sport."

godspeed, royce

jeez, this entire thing sux

Royce White ‏@Highway_30
Again My "Anxiety" is not well but not BAD, my main WORRY is being treated as a digit instead of a HUMAN, in the case of my health

not fucking around and just taking MKG @ #2 overall = already the best move in the history of the bobcats?

Rich Cho is no dummy

It sounds like the d-league assignment is breaking his routine? I hope this turns out well for man and team.

he had a migraine last week and posted instagram photos from what looked like a Houston hospital

royce should prob just not be in the nba, which is true im sure of lots of people who dont even have any particular diagnosable conditions, its a hardcore cutthroat scene

I forgot he was fighting migraines too. Bummer.

if it doesn't work out with houston, i'm not sure it's gonna work out anywhere

it should be a nice low-pressure situation

just go out there throw up some shots if they go in thats great if not nbd at least you got some exercise

I mean D-League is like harlem globetrotters for a guy like him. Terrence Williams averaged a triple double

so apparently kobe has his own helicopter

he let steve blake take it to the hospital

diantoni is not in attendance, disappoint

mkg killed today

was seems focused on pursuing shabazzzz. nene/ariza trades worked well en route for the objective, as they play washed up players more than the young ones they go deep in tanking mode. ariza was lanching 16ish footers uhggg

wtf varejao

v tempted to stay up and watch the spurs lakers, got so many punk students who are laker fans that need to be brought down a notch for bandwaggoning

so apparently kobe has his own helicopter

yeah they talked about this in a GQ cover story a few years back. basically his commute to the arena in a car would be over an hour w/ traffic & i guess it fucks his knees up to sit cramped like that all that time? so he just rides a helicopter to the games, so baller

hey kobels pretty sure you can stretch out in a stretch limousine

this is quite a year for tanking, lots of teams that will rival last year's bobcats
