Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

Love's Labour Lost?

when you step back and look at the talent on this team, it's hard to see them being nearly this bad. but then you watch them and there's no chemistry, guys yelling at each other, never-ending lineup changes. i don't see how blatt finishes the year

DeMarcus Cousins is really good

26-10 rn! he's balling the fuck out

3 assists away from a tripdub

rondo also sorta flirting with a tripdub but a ways to go

his free throw shooting is still traaaaaaash :[

what about when you're -20 and your team makes that entire deficit up when you're off the floor

a certain ilh regular would insist boston were he around tonight

yeah I totally disagree, teams bench their whole starting lineup sometimes when the bench makes a run

xxxxp

hoops hype says houston only has $59 million committed for 15/16.......

rondo just passed up a wide open dirk for 3 to take an 18 footer

maybe it's always been the Lakers for Love anyway

they drafted randle but whatever

*insists on lagoon's behalf*

ugh I guess the rockets would be slightly better than the lakers for love

embarrassing flop by Tyson, come on man

I'd hate for the rockets to yet again not just give the job to Motiejunas, who has earned it

aaaand boogie fouls out one assist short of a tripdub

but if they have the money you gotta do it

they could keep motie as their third big and maybe see what they can get for terrence jones

monta having yet another pretty excellent game altho that was a weak turnover damn

unrelated but i watched a full game of okafor tonight and he had a sort of miserable game by his standards and i still see zero reason for him not to be the number 1 pick ... watching the game it felt like he had minimal impact except he actually had 15-15, he'll roll out of bed and get double doubles in the nba

Hah the final score for the heat lakers was 78-75. Bosh 4/17

no tweets since then, really great job

I thought the lebron shove was nbd but looking at it again...

yeah i don't want to read too much into it but a player doesn't do that to a coach he has even an ounce of respect for

it's the look blatt gives him that clarifies the situation. it's the look of a kid who can't win the argument.

latest a lebron team has been under .500 since his rookie year

yeah I totally disagree, teams bench their whole starting lineup sometimes when the bench makes a run

benching a whole unit is another thing entirely. when you single one guy out (even if he's -20 for the game), after you've been having public issues with him, you're just asking for trouble.

read somewhere regardless where he signs hes gonna opt out this year, sign for one year, then sign his long term contract the next year to take advantage of the predicted higher salary ceiling - we cld be looking at two straight years of kevin love contract drama

seems like we know a little more which role is best for him, primary scorer on a team with a crisp offense and good defenders who can make up for his weaknesses on that end, he needs his plays called and gets a lil lost if hes just hanging around hoping someone gives him the ball

which makes sense as hes not a ball handler who can create his own shots or a specialist who can just stay in his zone or an athletic freak who can make something out of nothing

man got to fire that blatt

btw i enjoyed yr guys commentary on the suns game after the fact lol

read somewhere regardless where he signs hes gonna opt out this year, sign for one year, then sign his long term contract the next year to take advantage of the predicted higher salary ceiling

this is interesting.... i guess he's pretty much guaranteed to get a max in 16 if the did this but if this season goes really south for him he better make sure he finds a good situation for himself next year if he really wants to go one and done again

it seems like some teams weren't sold on him even before this season, now this one has been a disaster for him basically, and then if he goes to another situation next year and it turns out like this.... i dunno it's not a huge risk but it's a risk

it's getting harder to sell him for superstar bucks, that's for sure

the only risk is injury imo someone will max him out regardless, theres gonna be so much money flying around when the cap goes up, even without the cap raise tho hes a guaranteed max imo

yeah i'm with you

but what if the only teams willing to max him out in 16 are the knicks and the lakers

that wld be sad 4 him lol, dont see it happening tho

he should just sign with houston next year

cavs shd just fire blatt make this easy for everyone

jordan do u think u cld talk to some of yr sports colleagues abt getting this karl to cleve bandwagon going

likely seeing new uniforms from toronto next year wld think http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/new_logo_for_toronto_raptors_by_sid_lee.php

its funny how when u associate w a rapper this is what you get, drake is more stylish than jay tho which is guy isnt surprising since jay is liek the most unstylish person in the world

black unis w shiny gold details might be p cool
