Jeff Green's career

poor jeff

Doesn't seem like he's that bad but geez

i mean, russell westbrook gets negative marks in plus minus on occasion, who knows

I was thinking the celtics traded their first and second best players and their third best is injured (sully) and they're playing their best ball of the season, so weird, but maybe jeff green isn't actually good

i mean, russell westbrook gets negative marks in plus minus on occasion, who knows

Yeah for sure but every season?

I'm not sure why but the Pelicans aren't using AD enough on offense. It's the Tyreke show out there, which is really weird.

was literally yelling FEED THE BROW the entire game when i saw them at barclays

their offense generally does not seem totally coherent

tyreke wasnt even playing either

brow is m/l the best roll man in the game they cld just do that every play idk why not, hes great at popping too but def does it too much

he's still gonna get so much better

ya its insane

i don't think there is a single metric that has ever had him as an above average player

Talked with my therapist about alexey shved today

Did he think it was a pass or a shot?

lol

haha, for sure tho a therapist wouldn't answer that question, just bounce it right back

re: brow offense -- Monty Williams is not a poor offensive coach I think is an issue. comes from the Nate McMillan "ball handling guard has to do everything until the final pass" school of 90's offense.

ILH favorite kent bazemore q&a on grantland today - http://grantland.com/the-triangle/nba-atlanta-hawks-interview-kent-bazemore/

The Hawks front office has done a great job of getting character guys who love the game, don’t have an agenda, and work hard. That’s the universal language. As long as you’re willing to work, we’ll get along just fine. We laugh and joke with each other. We play Uno …

Uno?

Yeah. It keeps the blood boiling a little bit. I think Dennis Schroder was the one who started it here. He’s in charge of keeping the cards, since he’s the youngest right now. There’s six guys playing sometimes, and those games get really intense, man.

Al Horford is winning right now. Jeff Teague is pretty solid. Dennis is really good. He’s sneaky: He blends the 9s with the 6s sometimes. He gets away with murder. He’ll play real fast; it’s such a quick game, a guy can play out of turn if you’re not looking. Kyle Korver and I are struggling right now.

My mom’s passing away. She’s expected to pass soon. She isn’t just responsible for my basketball fandom, she’s responsible for my basketball obsession. We’ve watched thousands of games together in the past 30 years. Including three championships for our team, the Detroit Pistons. If she could speak, she’d be telling us about the time she shook Bill Bradley’s hand for the millionth time or saying something shitty about Bird, Jordan, or LeBron. If she didn’t want to be cremated, she’d want to be buried in an Iverson jersey. I’ll miss her. Needless to say, my girlfriend and I are thrilled we’ll be able to watch Golden State and Atlanta tonight. While she’s unconscious, I’m told she can still hear. We’ll complain about Kerr (“too nice”) and Steph (“too nice”) and praise Atlanta’s grittiness. She always talked about the importance of grittiness.

Aw :(

Thanks for sharing dude

Man a bird/Lebron/MJ hater, that's strong grittiness

I'll always treasure my memories of my mom and KU basketball (which probably cost her her hearing from going to so many games)

your mom sounds awesome.

etaeoe, thanks for that and best of luck to your family. I'll be rooting for some grit and grime tonight.

best wishes etaeoe. as silly and occasionally unpleasant as sports can be they also allow for these unique bonds as a result of shared experiences that can be utterly transcendent, and it's awesome that you and your mom could share a love of hoops like that

Pop when asked if he has to say anything to team after loss to Knicks: "They know I hate them. With every fiber in my body, I hate them all"

marcus smart rejections are so great

hes a maniac

waiters single-handedly kills entire possessions, it's remarkable.

tbh the remaining thunder don't do much to resurrect them

they're ragged as hell tonight

Beas signed with miami for the rest of the year

the score doesn't exactly reflect it but celtics are kinda making the thunder look stone stupid

which, as excited as I am about the playoff push, is not something I expected to say about the 2014-15 boston celtics

man nic batum droppin some beautiful dimes tonight

wow the heat broadcast just showed the top 10 picks in the 2006 draft and...yikes

really need the blaze to get that lead back rn plz destroy the heat

celtics making some rough mistakes down the stretch here

also 44% FT shooting, gross

ya shdve had that one

league pass alert miami/portland

crazy 12-foot floater by wade to tie it

fucks SAKE, celtics

I am halfway through the fourth of this heat and blazers game,hard to believe Portland gets back into it, just ice-cold in the fourth so far

that Wade shot to tie with 42 seconds left was gorgeous

that over and back call was horseshit
