For those interested.. http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-t...e-grizzlies-playoff-chances-and-nba-manliness

Speaking of Tony Allen: Do you guys still play cards on the plane?

They do. I don’t.

All bad ty lawson has to undergo surgery now and will be out for good

They had a chance to get to the WCF's. I doubt it now

Uh he's not having surgery is he?

He's going to try and return for Playoffs.

Link?

 

[scotthallwithapick]

Yeah surgery isn't required and he's improving. As of now no surgery. Surgery would rule him out AT LEAST the first round and uhhhh...NAH.

i still dont understand why kirk hinrich didnt just try to take the charge lol

am i the only one that thinks if he didnt wrap him up lebron would have been called for a charge?

lol @ the video on youtube titled kirk hinrich tackles lebron

If I'm Hinrich, I'm thinking the refs are not gonna call a charge on LeBron either way. Minus whale wrap him up.


And did this dude say wrap up fouls are not basketball plays?

Honestly. LeBron probably would have been called for the charge for it not the wrap up. I think so anyway.

Wow

Last 7 of the 94-95 season and 37 to start 95-96

 

[Coupé It]

Can't blame LeBron for being "soft" when the NBA has been "soft" for years now. He adapted to the play of the game. Then he complained about good tough fouls because he's never been used to it, why is that surprising?

The problem doesn't lay with him, it's the NBA and the new culture of basketball. Either stop watching and start a petition or get over it. This is the NBA, it's an entertainment business. Move on.

Pat Riley: "Danny Ainge needs to shut the **** up and manage his own team. He was the biggest whiner going when he was player and I know cause I coached against him."



Apparently this statement was delivered to the media by the Heat spokesperson, which makes it even funnier.

 

[japanair21]

LeBron James gets fouled harder than almost any player in the NBA not named Dwight or Blake, I'm not sure why everyone is getting their panties all soaked for.

Kevin Durant doesn't take nearly the punishment that LeBron does. The contact on KD on his fouls are minimal compared to LeBron.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Damn Pat Riley. Them fighting words

$tern you know what needs to happen....

 

[duba169]

And lebron also initiates more contact than anyone not named Wade. We really pretending lebron doesn't get treated extremely well by the league?

The first person who breathes wrong on lebron will get tossed in the playoffs.

 

[mister friendly]

To all people whining for Lebron

Because Durant doesn't bulldoze into people all the time

Lebron initiates contact most of the time.

Also Lebron is trying to dunk all the time. Nobody wants to let people just dunk all the time. If I constantly try to dunk on people in even a pickup game, you best believe Im gonna get fouled hard too.

Well you kinda have to foul him hard if you don't want to give up any And-1s

Exactly. Its common sense
