i dont think rose is that into basketball but he wont admit it to himself

liek he feels like he has to fight back from injury cause thats the right thing to do but now his game is totally built around not getting injured again and he sucks and is blaming his teammates when he doesnt realize really what he wants to blame is the ethos of sports and success

I asked Batum if he was angry about my column last week. "Why?'' he said. "You wrote the truth. I suck.''

good mixture of hilarious and sad right there

1 budenholzer
2 kerr
3 pop
4 stan van
5 kidd
30 blatt

6th man:

MIP:

1 jimmy butler
2 draymond green
3 jeff teague

rookie

1 wiggins (assuming he plays like he's played the last month)
2 mirotic

I know he missed a lot of games but I kinda think Durant is the MVP

hes literally played like 10 games man

I know I know

He's so good though

hes the best but the award is for playing i tihnk

"he's the best" is how I see the award i guess

well you can't reasonably give it to someone who hasn't played

that said if the thunder storm into like the 6th or 5th seed behind durant going gangbusters he would be a defensible choice

yeah lets say he missed the whole season is he still the best or is it just theoretical, imo it has to be the best as in actual effect

agree if he killed the rest of the year its resonable

It's an interesting possibility.

Do you think Lebron can still win it or has that ship sailed

not LeBron, barring a miracle

if he goes back to old lebron and the cavs start dominating its pob his

nah no way. the cavs won't get the #1 seed, and curry's played too well and his team will win the west. from the voters' perspective he's got no shot

does voting occur after the regular season?

feel like it starts before the season ends but i cld be wrong

One last chance for Tyrus Thomas to not be the most physically gifted complete bust ever

he had one good season remember how strange

wow he's only 28! still in his "prime"

Obligatory reminder that the Bulls traded lamarcus Aldridge to get him...whoops

oopsie!

hey the Bulls picked up Viktor Khryapa in that deal too, don't sell them short.

I was thinking around the time of last year's draft how there's a certain breed of 6'7-6'9 ultra-athletic guy and Tyrus Thomas is the only one who completely busted.

like if it wasn't for him the worst case scenario would be Rudy Gay

check out his steadily rising per then... what happened

by all accounts he had serious character problems

by like why did he get suddenly worse at basketball

I think he had a lot of issues with coaching, how he was used etc.

he always was incredibly determined to be a scorer and take bad jumpshots and he wasn't great enough for it to be tolerated like it is with Josh Smith

The great thing about Wiggins is that he's in this athletic stratosphere and appears to be a guy who just wants to get better at basketball

Yah that's a big deal

These heat alt unis are a disgrace
