I think Kenyon Martin would be in the league if he wasn't a crazy person who is a huge pothead

I bet someone signs him closer to the playoffs

i think i'm gonna start a poll on that soon... i have to find the zach lowe post where he listed out the 14-ish teams that are expected to have max cap space in the summer

I think if Pekovic stays mostly healthy this year he should get maxed too

sigh I hope McGee is hurt

nope, just George being George

well, antawn jamison has 31 points

that happened

lakers are hard to beat when meeks and jamison combine for 12+ threes

FREE JORDAN HAMILTON

pop will start duncan / parker / manu then pull them w one minute played

in the next game he wants to rest his players

if stern can invent imaginary rules, pops can invent some, too. then he'll have to sit his players for imaginary disciplinary reasons. stern would never interfere with player discipline.

Tim Duncan: DNP-D&D malfeasance
Tony Parker: DNP-Speaking French in anger
Manu Ginobili: DNP-Taking too many free throws in practice
Stephen Jackson: DNP-Trying to get me to listen to another DJ Drama mixtape
Boris Diaw: DNP-Fat

Danny Green may end up with the first DNP - Young.

if i were the spurs i think id just sit duncan and manu the first couple months of the season

otm, first two months of the season and then the month after the all star break

I didn't know where exactly to post this, but thought you folks would appreciate a Jesse Jackson v. Marvin Gaye one-on-one battle:

Marvin's socks

Also Marvin's shorts.

Yeah he is about to pick JJ for sure. Bball 101 never look at the ball while dribbling smh

“I think we have like five or four of the best 3-point shooters in the world... Maybe six if you include me. You can throw me in there,'' Bosh said about the Heat.

"I've had a chance to sit back and think about it and there are some things I could've done better. There are some things that could've been done better on both sides," Howard said in a lengthy, wide-ranging interview after Los Angeles Lakers practice on Saturday. "But at the end of the day, we all learn some lessons and we've got to move forward."

That's Dwight reflecting on returning Orlando for a game tonight btw.

"It doesn't really matter to talk about it now. It's over and done with," he said. "There are a lot of things we both could've done, but at the end of the day, it happened just the way it was supposed to happen. There was a reason behind everything. We might not see it or understand it at the time, but there was a reason why everything happened the way it happened and I think it made both parties stronger."

deep stuff from superman.

The reason it happened the way it happened is because you're an asshole, Dwight.

so I guess Varejao is a superstar now or something

waiters just split a couple defenders into a double clutch jam. it was like something out of a shoe commercial.

waiters is a bowling ball

in a good way

wow I can't believe that blown batum dunk, that was weird

batum kinda playing like he's seeing double

(He took an elbow to the head early in the first quarter)

on haralabob's twitter he was saying something about how SVG was offered the spot on ESPN's basketball coverage that jalen rose now has but stern vetoed it - wtf?

yeah you didn't hear about that? Jeff Van Gundy spoke out about it.

I can't remember what SVG did that led to the grudge

man fuck stern, wtf

how does he even have a say in that? idgi

it used to be that Stern just did a totally awful thing every 3 or 4 years but now it's pretty much monthly

he has a say in it because ESPN has no editorial independence from the 3 major sports leagues

and knowing Stern I'm sure he's thought of all kinds of devious shit to pull if a network ever angered him
