Anyone been suggesting that the Knicks should tank the season to get a better slot in the draft? Of course, they better be sure they fall into one of the top 5 picks or it goes to the Rockets. In fact, should the Heat tank if Wade misses many more games? Mainly, I’m surprised at those that have suggested the Spurs should tank to get a better draft pick.

He almost airballed a wide-open 3 earlier. His court vision remains superb, though, and he dictates the pace of the game.

It must be pretty weird for Perkins to be back in Boston wearing another jersey. It’s probably weirder for Ainge to try and explain the trade now that Green is out for the season.

The trade was hugely unpopular among the starting 5, and may ultimately prove to be the nail in the coffin for this era. Also a bit of a slap in the face that OKC immediately gave Perk the extension Boston didn’t.

They are deep. I don’t know if Hawes can keep up this level of play (specially his rebounding) but if they stay hot, they could win the Atlantic division ahead of both the Knicks and the Celtics, which would be awesome.

I’m not sure whether Rondo tries to pad his assists stats or he’s just afraid of going to the rim and getting fouled.

You could be right. If Tony had the ball on the break on that last play like Rondo did, he’d have taken it to the hole, and either possibly been knocked on his ass, or scored.

If OKC was playing against any other team (except the Mavs), I’d be inclined to hope they lose. But I really dislike the Celtics.

OKC is the best team in the West right now. I want teams ahead of the Spurs to lose.
Also, I like the Thunder, but they are far from being my second favorite team. I respect that they are yours, but the whole “OKC is the new San Antonio” thing doesn’t work for me.

Sorry, I didn’t mean you were a Laker fan, it’s just that most of the people I ever discuss basketball with are for whatever reason Lakers fans, and this kind of sentiment (wanting OKC to lose and also hating Cs with passion) is very typical for them. I didn’t mean to do any name calling, sorry.

when game got out of reach and Nash got substituted, he grimaced in evident pain on the bench. he seemed all right while playing. he may be hurting, he is an old man after all, but it looked a little bit … theatrical to me. wouldn’t be the first time when Steve adds a little drama.

You know part of me thinks that Howard wouldn’t want to go to the Lakers because there’s been so many great Laker centers (Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem, Shaq) that there is no way he’d ever become the best center in Laker history. But if he goes somewhere like the Clips or Nets he is their best center starting on day one.

Crying foul at the prediction that they won’t make the WCF and that they’re too small.

They completely deny that they’re back to being the same Mavs with no ability to finish inside and players losing heart and settling for outside shots too much.

That’s another thing

They keep getting mad at people who point out that their front office took everything that made the difference from 2011 to previous years and threw it out the window. They say Tyson and Barea and DeShawn shouldn’t be talked about as being so good for the Mavs, as evidenced by how well their teams are doing now.
Well of course Tyson’s team isn’t doing well. The Knicks have a piece of shit coach and a star that can’t do anything but score.

Really? Wow. Yeah, you’re right about the Knicks. They should let Mike Woodson be the head coach.

They can deny all they want but we all know the truth! Ha ha ha!

By the way, congrats to your Cavs! They’re looking good so far.

"D'oh!"

by Marky G on Jan 17, 2012 12:40 AM CST up reply actions  

thanks…….

I actually wish they weren’t. This team, with the front office not known for making good choices, can’t become a contender again with just Kyrie and Tristian. I want them to get more pieces from the draft, since pieces aren’t going to come from free agency. The Cavs need a new center to help Varejao, a new power forward to take Antwan’s place, and a new small forward. Omri Casspi is not as good as he was in Sacramento.

also, I hope Manu gets better soon. This team has made a great effort to surround the big 3 with athletic young players. They’ve replaced Horry, Finley, and Vaughn with Neal, Splitter, and Hill. They can still win a title.

Unfortunately, it’s not enough now just to replace the supporting cast. Our Big 3 need more help than ever before. Unless Splitter and Blair can play as good as any two big men in the NBA, our chances are pretty slim.
