oh just spill it

I blame Parker and Ginobili for making flopping an acceptable activity for star players, I blame them for being insufferable floppers in general, Bowen was a dirty S.O.B. who never got called on it, Duncan's incessant whining about foul calls, Horry hipchecking Nash

btw charlotte is beating the lakers

how is duncan still so good wtf

I didn't expect him to still be this productive now but of all the really good-to-great players of the past 20 yrs or so his "prime years" game might have been the least predicated on athleticism. Still, all the pounding he must've taken as a low block player, it's remarkable.

"The Hornets are expected to change their nickname to the Pelicans, Rougarou, Mosquitos, Swamp Dogs or Bullsharks."

"well they're sure whining about Pelicans a lot out there, let's pick four completely insane options so they'll accept it"

ha yeah i mean it's shitty, but i'm willing to forgive that for their super fun euro drive & kick style of play, pop's ingenious coaching, their front office/scouting etc.

Swamp Dogs yessss

this lakers-bobcats game is stunning

Gerald Henderson dunk of the year candidate

either someone is fucking up the scoresheets or kemba walker is +28 and gasol is -35 tonight. both espn and nba.com have some crazy numbers

yeah yahoo's plus minus numbers were reversed earlier

http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=aNOZ2AVGCJU

Considering the numbers I'm looking at, I have no idea how the lakers are in this game at all.

tonight's javale line: 10-3-0-0-3 on 3-6 shooting in 11 minutes

there should be a javale watch 2013 thread

kemba's an all-star this year if there's any justice in the world.

~22, 2 and 7 on 49% shooting in December, throw in 2 steals/game

yeah he's having a really nice season for sure. and there's not exactly a surfeit of star guards in the east, but i kind of doubt it

wow the lakers really had to give everything they had to beat a 7-16 team at home

my fuckin league pass kept cutting in and out so i missed the last play

ugh do not make me like joakim noah

Dwight has 16 and 18, Kobe has 30, they get so,e decent bench production and still they barely pull it out.

so ilh, was looking this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SIaCQEr1oM0

who has the best bank shot in the nba? duncan obviously, but i think he isnt that good in %

inside moves? al, z-bo, aldridge

step back? pierce. maybe ginobili

crossovers? jamal, or deron. rose!

floater? cp3, parker

double step back? Melo y'all

Bank? Wade, Duncan, Dirk

kevin love's stepback game is underrated

james brown get it ha

rose pretty good using the glass (tho not on jumpers), floaters (though i'd say there is a difference between his oft-used 'push shot' and a trad floater)

ball/head fakes? pierce, wade?

melo, of course.

fakes: bosh, kevin martin, lou williams

I feel like so many PGs have devastating crossovers that I can't even rank them

best step-back is probably still nash

*** donatas alert ****

pretty good game at msg so far

if orlando beat washington tonight, they are on a 4W streak. then: @ toronto, vs utah, vs nola, @ wash, vs toronto

where orlando magics 9 W streak happens

what if Blake Griffin gets out of his time machine car and he's a fat guy who's good at shooting FTs

Raptors about to win 4th straight, lines up nicely with Lowry and Bargnani being injured.

celtics pbp guy (the reasonable guy, not tommy): "in all my years of watching him, i've never been able to predict or understand byron scott"

Pierce having a throwback game.

haha yes they were hating on scott

cool squad the grizz have out there now

Curry and Landry tradin buckets with Isiah Thomas, everyone unconscious right now.

Seriously like no one is missing, dubs were down 12 just a few minutes ago now its basically tied at 117 w 4 min left.

roughly tied at 117

close enough ;)

Ugh refs.

Man I hate Cousins.
