If someone told me last year that Carlos Boozer would be having a better season than Amare Stoudemire and Pau Gasol, I would have had a hard time believing them. 

Knick and Laker fans wouldn't.

Boozer is a solid player. Not a star, but a solid player. You know what you're going to get from him every time. Same with a Shawn Marion type player.

Man I really thought LAL was gonna win that game, I didn't watch the beginning so I didn't know Pringles didn't start Paussy til the half and I changed channels in the middle of the 4th thinking they'd irk a W out only to flip back a while later and see Chi up by 10. The one time I want to see the team win and they fail.

Can't wait to hear the excuses for Pringles this time around. Before it was he needs the defensive players and the NYK wasn't the right fit cuz Melo and STAT can't play together (Melo recently gets career high in assists most to Amar'e) and a bunch of other bull **** when it's clear to see he pretty much lost it as a coach. He can't spot talent, he can't develop it, all he does is create a sense of this will be fun cuz he's offensive minded but that quickly wears off when the Ls rack up. I notice commentators crediting the wrong things to him too, set plays out of timeouts, cultivating the passing plays between big men (when that's all Pau), NBA needs to wake up about this dude

On a side note, is it me or every time you catch something about the Wiz they're winning yet when that happens it's said they just came off a crazy long losing streak? Every time I look up they're winning a game, fooled me in to thinking they weren't doing that bad.

You should listen to yourself talk, and then evaluate whether you should post.

The Gawd.

People dislike Blake because of the flopping. For someone in his position (up and coming star, known as a physical player, fan favorite with the dunks etc) he is embarrassing himself.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Blake Griffin had 28-13-8 today..

Where's the BG haters at?

King James lite

omg

Raising his trade value

Hopefully that shot will fool some team into thinking he's actually good

He's actually having a good year.

If he was putting up these same #s as a 6th man on a winning team, people would be holding him in the same regard as JR Smith.

Speaking of the Knicks, it's not his fault...but how long until people start pointing the finger at Amare for the knicks being 4-5 since his return?

 

[antidope]

The first trade is going to happen. Well Twitter says it happened already, but then I saw this, so now IDK what to think.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers have entered serious discussions on a multiplayer trade, according to league sources.

The Grizzlies would send big man Marreese Speights and guard Josh Selby to the Cavs for big man Jon Leuer.

There are also believed to be draft picks involved in the deal.

The trade will slice $4 million off the Grizzlies payroll and get them under the luxury tax.

Don't care what #'s he is putting up lol, I can't stand him at all. His playing style and bball IQ is an abomination to basketball and I will never like him.

 

[kidoopz]

I want Brandon Jennings in the All-Star Game over Jrue Holiday.. Today is the deciding game!

 

[bhzmafia14]

Grizz just traded Speights, Selby, Ellington and a pick for Jon Leur

:x

I know they wanted to get under the tax, but you traded two rotational players, a cheap prospect and A PICK for this ************ ?!

We saved $6M in the deal. I guess Pondexter is due back a lot sooner.

No chance of this happening, Jrue has been balling out of his mind.

LOL yeah I saw it. They could have done way better.

 

[bhzmafia14]

The only sense I make of the deal is that we save $6M. Also, it prepares the team for a bigger move if they decided to move Rudy/ZBO and could bring back more players.

This also could mean more Wroten or more Conley/Bayless. Pondexter will be due back soon, DA will be playing more minutes and we also may see more Rudy at the 4.

The dumbest thing about the trade is adding a 2015 pick (top 5 protected) lmao
