surely worse than the peja-west-Chandler team?

Austin Rivers is what I once thought Jeremy Lin was, but I'm pretty confident that this time it will hold.

Yah this years clips roster is atrocious. I think redick is out too right now for a bit.

this team was a couple bench guys and a good coach away from being nasty as fuck http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/NOH/2008.html

miss u Peja

dame is replacing griffin on the all star team

surely worse than the peja-west-Chandler team?

right & cp3 is prob a lil bit worse now, though not hugely so

I hope doc rivers still has that parade route research

remarkable performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYoqIrbdfRY

wow some v nice passing in there

wow rip dean smith just saw that

Giannis has been rolllin

pero antic is the worst flopper in the game

crushed dean smith beneath his roll rip

that giannis move on ariza at the beginning of that video is like a marshawn lynch run as basketball

man it's nice to see him bully dudes

I feel like he has some Paul pierce in his game. There's a slow fluidity to it almost like watching nfl films or whatever.

yes otm it's kind of amazing how under control the pace of his game is already considering his gangliness and reserves of crazy altheticism

yeah he looks like a real baller not just a freak

Close one atl-Memphis both teams playing hard /sheed

Teague down

awesome game by Pekovic tonight, beautiful violence

James Harden shoots a lot of freethrows idk if u guys knew that

tough loss against memphis. horford and millsap only had ten combined, grizzlies had 17 offensive rebounds to hawks 3. precisely what i was worried about. i can take comfort in that it was close and very winnable even w/ memphis fired up and at home. still man even if we did somehow make the finals (which i can't even consider) that is the one team i don't want to face.

memphis are tough yeah and deeper now too

spurs played like warmed over garbage half the time, deserved that L in toronto

memphis are tough yeah and deeper now too

Ya prob best bench of the marc-Zbo-Conley era: Koufos udrih Vince Calathes just a bunch of solid doods

They went with Zbo at center and jeff green asserting himself at the 4 for a moment and I imagined they could roll that a few minuts at a time even in the playoffs to give marc a rest when needed

Good team

The one thing that confuses me about German rondo: everyone says he can't shoot and percentages are rondo esque but every time I see him he's nailing open jumpers in a very non rondo manner

That's the first time I've watched Aten... Giannis, good lord his agility and quickness, if anyone's like the Dream, then it's him.

also xp they have old vince who I'm sure will come in handy in the playoffs (if healthy)

theres a little iverson in isiah thomas, hes fun to watch sometimes

boogie so good

omg boogie. poor suns :( another buzzer beater

def thought the suns were stealing that

i really don't see the suns making the playoffs. they have a seriously brutal schedule from here on out.

if the pelicans can just keep it together this is their chance (along with OKC, who are now basically a lock)

okc are totally not a lock

one intersting thing that jeff van gundy brought up on lowe's latest podcast is that the warriors play the suns twice more this season, and if they're smart they'll tank those games to try to avoid OKC in the 8th seed

Sources: Kings and George Karl's rep will re-engage Monday. Front office has recommended hiring, deal terms are close. it's on owners now.

this is so dumb. they're not making the playoffs, might as well tank away with Corbin.

vivek is too idiotic/delusional to be that shrewd

i think there's something to be said abt getting a guy in who boogie can work with. given his record, karl is presumably such a dude.

wonder why boogie doesnt want to f w him

there are reports that boogie isnt on board with karl, tho according to marc stein they are not v substantiated. i wonder why karl even wants this gig tho, i guess he really has the itch to coach again and he'd be given a top-10 player to work with, but that roster ain't doing anything in the west anytime soon

ya one wld think he cld wait around for a better job, maybe hes not popular these days tho idk

heard somewhere that the kings were gonna wait til offseason but orlando opening made them worried karl wouldn't be available. hiring him now though would give him a chance to know the roster and what he wants/needs to do w/ it going into the offseason and it's not like they won't still be a lottery team plus vivek gets to save face sooner. if i was karl i'd wait for orlando.

ya srsly orlando is a great job w a talented young team and a smart GM where sacto is literally hell w a no nothing meddling owner who will try to draft nick stauskas every year until the earth goes dark

also orlando is in the east

only thing sacto has going is the best player of the two teams
