oh and of course also the rare lopez on lopez action v sexy

have been hollerin abt this tbh

not sure what the blazers tanking strat is here no one wants the spurs but also no one knows where theyll end up

blazers are m/l guaranteed the 4 seed bc of the division championship so they can't really tank into position

I saw a Lopez v Lopez matchup last year when robin was a pelican

Or maybe they were the hornets so two years ago? I'm so used to the Pelicans already I can't remember

i knew re the resting but bought these last min 4 cheap

Wonder if I shld try this b4 the season is up

Tonight prob the best night for cheap tix tho with the natl title game

they have a shot at the 3rd spot tho xp

spurs might end up 5th idk

even with the clippers leading the season series against portland I'd rather face them than the spurs bc of the bench issue

I'd rather face the clippers bc they're more vulnerable than the spurs, stotts probably a better coach than doc, Portland's lucky fans get to hate on the clips for two weeks

lillard went off in the middle of the third huh

Meyers Leonard career high, congrats lags #witness

Dollars:Meyers Leonard career high ratio through the roof

The Heat are incredibly injured

Meyers Leonard career high, congrats lags #witness

its funny cause my friend who i went with i was explaining as we were waiting in line how myers was actually a very skilled basketball player who didnt understand basketball and he was skeptical so it was a pretty cool performance from that perspective

hot halftime lopez on lopez competition btw

that is a decent description of meyers actually. he might be one of those guys that improves significantly once he figures how to like turn his body in the direction he wants it to go without having to think about how to do that for a sec

huge games for OKC and the pelis tonight. OKC has the easier schedule by far (barring tonight vs spurs), but the pelis have the possibility that some of their playoff-guaranteed opponents might rest starters.

PHX only 3 games behind but their last five are brutal.

word to russell

:)

sick

nice nice. i forget what team you're near?

http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2015/4/7/8365261/byron-scott-lakers-fox-hole-god-the-lakers-are-so-sad
first off just gaze lovingly at that URL text, then delight in byron throwing his players under the bus, taking zero responsibility for running plays that make derek fisher look like an offensive genius:

"I got a sense of a whole lot of them I wouldn't want to be in a fox hole with," Scott said after Monday's practice. "I think they'd end up shooting me in the back. So I've got a pretty good sense of the guys that I think are going to be around, that we will build around, build together in this process and go through it."

uh, no byron, if a purge ever happened they'd shoot you in the front and sides long before getting to the back because you're stupid and bad

wow what a clueless a-hole

Sources told ESPN that Scott agreed to a four-year, $17 million contract with the Lakers

sick move

lol if you start typing "byron scott" into twitter search the 2nd suggestion after his name is "byron scott horrible"

twitter knows

clay - atl. i may have just paid over $200 to watch two celtics games.

niiice balls

Seems fine

my gf and i want to take a vaca this summer and SF was mentioned as a possible destination. i wonder how much a couple of dubs tix would be going for around that time

Byron Scott seems horrible

This might be revisionist but looking at his record he had his only real success with two teams that I bet were basically coached by their point guards (the Kidd nets and the cp3 Hornets) and he's mostly flailed around otherwise

I mean that laker roster is just an insult but if he really wants it he should just spout positive platitudes about next year and shut his mouth. I'm guessing he probably knows he'll be fired the minute kobels retires if not before and this will probably be his last head coach gig so he's just getting unhinged

Um kev my guess will be A LOT but it totally would be worth it

yeah def catch at game at oracle man, pay the price

A chuckling Dominique Wilkins just said josh mcroberts should never have been in the mcdonalds game dunk contest and implied he humiliated himself. Dominique is a stupid asshole.

kawhi waited approximately 90 seconds before exploding

spurs gonna win this by 20 points

guess kawhi has shut down talk about whether or not he's a max guy pretty solidly this year

Clay yr Jurassic park metaphor re Spurs looking very apt

If I may extend it the rest of the league is looking at the glass of water on the desk right now and seeing it start to shake

hah yes

http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070315192616/jurassicpark/images/2/27/JP-WhenDinosaursRuled.jpg

if the spurs win this year this is the they should raise

the *banner* they should raise

is 4/60 what kawhi gets or even bigger like 5/75?

4/60 would be an insult, especially with the cap going up

i really hope he takes a hometown discount though. i haven't heard anything about whether he's open to that

everyone on this board is rooting for the pelicans to slip in right like you are all in favor of that

Ya kinda rooting for depressing OKC to fall out tbh and the brow deserves a couple of TV playoff games for sure

xxp or perhaps some sort of short deal with an opt-out to be renegotiated in a year when the cap rises, like what bron has?
