hahahaha Knicks picked the wrong time to not foul there.

Heat/Pacers yall, should be fun.

the knicks totally won the melo trade tho, cuz they beat the celtics

Glad to see the Knicks go. Bye bye!

:-(

i was kinda rooting for the knicks so that wade could have more time to rest his knee

Same rest period either way. Game one won't be until Wednesday.

hope wade does get that kobe by which i mean the 2013 vintage
i am not above wishing injuries on ppl

oh that's fine then. thank god no more ugly basketball xp

is presti actually just dumb?

like first the harden trade now this

quite possibly

i mean at a high level he was smart about gathering assets but may have no clue what to do in terms of putting an nba team over the top

lol at the knicks forever

sadface

Haha that 4th quarter was exactly what you'd expect from this Knicks team.

Lance was incredible to watch, that up and under with the lefty scoop brought a tear to my eye.

Hoping for Pacers/Grizz final

Lance looking very pitbull that whole game; not sure if he made one shot that didn't include some heavy contact. It's been so awesome to watch his development vis-a-vis team basketball. He spent the whole season sublimated within an offensive framework for probably the first time in his life, playing as the 5th option more or less in that starting lineup, and handled it pretty zenlike. Heh, I really believe that his rebounding rates have gone up this year just because he wasn't really allowed to expend energy doing much else but defense / boards, so sometimes he can look like a kid just let out for recess, wilin out. Tonight, I can't remember any ill-advised drives. One major point that bears repeating from that big Lance profile from a few weeks ago is that, up through college, his game was built around being the strongest/most athletic guy in the gym. The only time that stuff really pops up anymore is when he starts out on the break and just fucking blasts off. <3 u Lance, and <3 u Larry for being the only reason the Pacers signed him. (Larry's Indy legacy looking pretty good right now: drafted Hibs/PG/Lance, signed West, traded for Hill)

The only thing better than Knicks losing tonight is looking at Knicks roster and knowing they're basically stuck with it through next season

Hahaha, speaking of Lance/Larry, happy to see Lance give him the GOD treatment:

Lance Stephenson ‏@StephensonLance 2h
I'm so blessed I want to thanks GOD,my family, my kids, my team, LARRY BIRD, pacers fans and everyone that believed in me. Thanks

Really happy a couple ilxors still have horses in the running this deep! (not including jordan in that b/c lol.) I kinda checked out on this round except for the early spurs vs warriors games, before the writing was on the wall. Will def be watching for the griz, but not sure how much Indy/Miami I can take. Anyways congrats to bise and compupost!

also since ILH is my bl°g, I'm thinking of moving from Portland to LA because why the f not. Any of you boys wanna tell me why that is a great and/or terrible idea, feel free to chime in. P.S. I am broke so the whole thing might be extremely hilarious.

do it man step to the big time

btw sick block by hibbert, crazy strength there

clay u have a car?

so excited for pacers heat http://i.imgur.com/4KNPWOk.jpg

haha

yeah man I have a 97 gti with like 67k miles on it and hella problems but who cares you put that thing in good weather and it becomes a limo. ready to hit the big time, be a guy with a name.

haha, all this steely dan talk on the board produces its first real movement

"He believed in me," Stephenson told Y! Sports. "He gave me the confidence that I could play in the league. Larry is a legend, and when he tells you that you can do this, and do that, it just boosts your confidence, makes you feel like no one can stop you."

dunno if this is creepy or not

As he headed to the postgame news conference, Stephenson forgot to put on his pants and nearly walked onto the stage in a shirt and underwear. Longtime Pacers PR man David Benner re-directed him to an equipment room so he could get a pair of shorts.

i literally had that exact same dream two nights ago

i love l.a., but i've never been to portland

very rare

idk if i could live in la but i have a fuckin' blast every time i go there.

hibbert block was awesome, love the close-up hands shot

Could never rep LA over Portland but it pains me to admit I have a great time whenever I go out to LA, even w/o a car. Just remember that every1 in LA is a celeb but you have to start as H List and start working your way up.

clay la is dope if you like 72 and sunny all day every day then do it do it

portland is cool as hell every time i've visited too of course

lmk if you want real advice i lived there a long time

i forgot until i looked them up that paul george and lance stephenson were in the same draft
