haha javale hopping around for that board

the world is a beautiful place sometimes

nuggs really appreciate playing a team that shoots FTs worse than they do

OMG IGGY

despite how much as I hate the Clippers I respect their harassing, dirty defense

lakers really starting to click

they almost got over .500

on sportscenter they said it was the worst start in 20 years or something

franchise-wise obv

is dwight hurt or just bad now?

he's hurt and bad now

microdiscectomy ain't foolin'

he has like very marginal impact on the games ive watched of theirs

best center in the 4 team deal was nikola vucevic, so far

If Orlando had received bynum's hair in the deal they'd have had a real coup.

"'Cause we're old as s---," said the 34-year-old Bryant when asked why a lack of energy has been a problem for L.A. all season. "What do you want?"

Dwight is 27 but I guess the back is 42

omfg kobe <3<3<3

what is he doing there? it looks like he's making cotton candy and then rubbing it on his teeth

hahaha javale, wtf is he even doing

this is nuts

The Celtics are stingier than the league's best defenses when he's on the floor and much worse than even the 30th-ranked Bobcats defense when he sits.

re KG obv

yeah i dont know how kg can still be so good on D at age 57

am i alone in thinking that dame lillard seems kinda d. rose-ish

reggie miller on lillard: think derrick rose except less explosive and a better shooter

so rose minus his biggest strength and his biggest weakness ok

Sorry, J0rdan. I won't hold it against you, I promise.

Draymond Green ‏@Money23Green
LmaoRT @StephenCurry30: haha reggie miller just compared Lillard to D Rose, followed by a list of how he plays totally different than D Rose

blake griffin: 10th in the nba in DRTG

DiRTy Gamesmanship?

Celtics: Avery Bradley, Fab Melo and Jared Sullinger (18.0 WARP)
The Celtics illustrate the fundamental problem with finding a new home for Cousins. The teams with strong, veteran locker rooms capable of nurturing his development don't tend to have very much young talent to offer. Boston is actually the contender best positioned to make an offer for Cousins, as this deal would offer three intriguing prospects without weakening the Celtics' current rotation. Bradley's defensive presence on the perimeter would be a welcome addition to the Kings, Sullinger is one of the most polished rookies in the league, and in time Melo could help replace Cousins' size in the paint. However, the track record of three-for-one trades in the NBA isn't very good for the teams getting multiple middle-of-the-road players. Making this deal would leave Sacramento with a deep group of role players in desperate need of a centerpiece, the hardest commodity to find -- and possibly the very kind of player the Kings are trading.

want

haha "two of the players are ok, and the other guy kind of looks like him" deal say no more

dramatic reactions to gameplay aka floppin

lmbo

to me that DRTG thing means: you can have a really good defensive rating if you're surrounded by good defenders. Because Griffin is just plain bad on D.

basically the problem w all nba stats ever

this is v good watch it

His floater game is unfukwitable.

fakers could get 8th seed face floppers and get home court automatically

maybe it was their plan all along
