The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. And you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy.

I don't really care about the clips, I just don't want to have to see amare 2

well if blake's knees disintegrate there's no one anyone can do about it

nothing*

otm, he has a hard time getting a shot up over the top (doesnt really need to at this stage in his career though). The best thing he can do for longevity is work on his 10-15 footers? But even there his shot is way too set-my-feet, line-up, tuck-elbow, bend-knees, cock-wrist, shoot, follow-through that I'm not sure he can ever improve there either.

yea - I wouldn't be so concerned but for 1) the way he throws his body and 2) his rookie season

amare had post game though, and developed a shot, and could shoot free throws. I always though he would make a good late career post player but he cant stay healthy.

and by good i mean contributing, like an antonio mcdyess type of role

yeah.. I made the comparison because amare was that other dude who just whammed on everybody when he was you g, had such a quick jump.

amare would still be balling except his knees were medically defective, it's not really a good comparison

rip amare

well even when he has played minutes hes clearly lost that step and that jump, how much of that is due to medical defect and how much is due to age, i d k

like it seems to me so much of blakes game is dependent on that 40 inch vert which also gives him that quick first step

it's all his knees, over the last few years when amare's felt good he's played great

all i'm saying is i care about blake as a ~person~ and i wish him the best

well even when he has played minutes hes clearly lost that step and that jump, how much of that is due to medical defect and how much is due to age, i d k

yeah i'm gonna chalk that one up to "knees so bad that the knicks couldn't even get his contract ensured"

ok but he's going to have this until he's 30

yeah i mean this argument is dumb

any insanely athletic player is gonna have a game based pretty strongly on that athleticism, and over time they add to their game (prime example being lebron). it's not like blake griffin is gonna walk out onto the court one day at age 30 and be like "oh no i can't dribble past this 22 year old guarding me, how will i ever score"

Blakes Kia commercials are still good btw, havent got tired of them yet

well i'm just saying that i have real doubts as to whether he'll be able to add to his game beyond his leaping

he's been in the league for only three years and raised his TS% every year, by all accounts is not lazy etc

seems very presumptive to me

kenneth faried got a second-place vote for DPOY

steph was awesome last night, his release just looks so effortless

is harrison barnes the jeff green of golden state? he looked amazing at times

never thought this would happen but uh karl got outcoached a little by ol hand down man down

btw im gonna add festus ezeli to the shavlik randolph honorary racial confusion team-- i only saw a few warriors games this year and he wasn't in any of them, and hearing "raw big man" i totally expected an eastern euro darko type dude

festus ezeli also would make a decent game of thrones name

i can't tell if the celt's offensive meltdown was due more to the knicks defense or just sheer bad play, they definitely needed to get out and run a lot more like they did in the first half

really started to wonder what happens to that team if kg retires this summer

it will be even more mediocre

nuggets are going to bench Kosta Koufos, possibly for Wilon Chandler

lol dwight:

"Howard did, however, take up the cause of third-place finisher Ibaka.

"I think Serge Ibaka with all the stuff he did this year, I think he should have been the guy to win it this year and last year, for the stuff he's done on the defensive end," Howard said. "I thought he was the clear-cut winner, but people saw it other ways.

"He led the league in blocks. That's what defense is all about. I think their team was No. 1 in blocks this year. You can't play defense without having any shot blockers. He was the No. 1 shot blocker the last two years. I think that's great defense right there."

this quote explains so much

lmao dwight

very much in character

cool move PG invented

wow tie game in OKC alla sudden

rip Lin, it was a good run

whoa, got stuck on the phone for a while and figured this game was in the bag for OKC, what happened

ugh asik missed beverly in the corner

no shame in letting sefalosha hit that shot, you've got to give him those

lol perk

perk is so dumb wtf

veteran leadership

it was so unnecessary, parsons had no shot at getting there
