Remember when people weren't sure who was better Deron or CP3?

It was fairly even for about half a season.

It's kinda nice when Love doesn't play for Minny since it gives Derrick Williams some burn. Feel like they'll coast into the playoffs since they held up so well w/o Love & Rubio, so they can afford to give their young guys as much court time as possible. Like, they're not getting a top 4 seed anyway, why not develop young talent.

Also, addendum to Kings ... I think Minny and Kings are the two youngest teams in the league, but last time I checked the official stats, Minny leads the league in Heavy Vibing per 36 Minutes, and Kings easily leading the Bumming Out per 36.

BTW I'd love to know the record for most games started to begin a career (discounting games missed). Chris Paul is 511/511 for Games Started / Games Played.

Is pek a max guy at this point? (When answering plz remember Max Hibbert)

everyone is a max player if u BELIEVE u r a max player
-- bob marley

could see pek resigned by the wolves at somewhere slightly under the max type situation

aka build around pek and Rubio and never get past 7th seed ever money

trade unrequited love for spare parts, its a good plan

pek is a "max player" but not sure he's worth the investment

the fact that that sentence makes any sense is proof the system is still broken
eliminate max salaries now imo

I would max pek out w/o reservations I he didn't have injury problems

change

eh

.470/.380/.907, 27.3-4.8-5.6-2.0-0.3, 3.2 TO, .639 TS%

averaging 3.2 TO in only 38.2 MIN per game?? we must all agree that this is not a stat of godlike perfection. it betrays an all-too-human excellence.

why

"great to see this guy who was so irredeemably lazy that his former team is paying him not to play there finally do well. what a guy."

Okay, which one of you guys got this for your Grandma?

really can't stand Doris.

Why?

aw!

xp

doris iz dumb imo

i have a hard time holding anything against players from that wiz squad, it's pretty obvious the problem was the organization's

anyway merry christmas ILH, hoop dreams is on nbatv

The Lakers all-white uniforms: hard to see on TV (even with a big HD screen), kinda weird

The Knicks all-orange uniforms: same as above, also WHO IN THE HELL DECIDED TO WEAR ALL ORANGE UNIFORMS

(Gasol and Nash are rad at passing btw)

agree with the above though i like the white unis, they probably could have done something to make the numbers easier to see

lmao dwight

the unis are retarded.... "let's just eliminate one dominant color" is not an idea

yeah feels like I'm watching arenaball or something

nash leaving bricks in ppls stockings

yeah cmon nashty

corner 3 from gasol ^_^

waaaaaaait bill Simmons is on national tv? Christmas is ruined the children are crying

damn shumpert looks great

metta balling!

Simmons' transition into the tv spotlight has been an underreported weird aspect of this season

he's actually pretty decent for someone doing it for his first year

he never really says anything interesting but he's not flagrantly stupid and/or wrong like so many others on espn

hahah what is this call

Yeah the guy who seems most uncomfortable/ill-suited for his role on the panel today is Jalen Rose.

metta & steve sharing bball knowledge
