Dame says hello

Is Lou Williams whining?

 

[jonnyboy]

The OKC dick riding from the ESPN crew right now is nauseating, holy shit. I hope Philly wins.

He's a Clipper...it's sort of their identity..from coach to bench player...takes practice I'd imagine

Doris cheers for her team. She is so annoying. Westbrook dick riding, he took 30+ shoots tonight, damn.

Westbrook is 3/14... in the first half. Keep gettin those numbers, Russ.

Westbrook ended up taking 33 shots, which is as many as PG and Carmelo combined. He made 14 shots and racked up 37 points. Meanwhile, Adams made 10 out of 11 shots. Might want to feed that guy a little more often, Russ.

I’ll take Dame 7 days a week over that ball hog.

With NOP's loss to LAC we now have the same record (27-22) as the 6th place Pelicans. They currently hold the tie breaker (2-1 in head-to-head match-ups).

It’s sad when injuries hit a team’s quality players. Don’t care who it is.

Saw Kevin Pritchard at costco with his daughter (i think) today. Was this close to going over and accidentally spilling my froyo on him.

Can't believe how much he screwed our franchise over w that 07 draft

I really want to be salty about him trading George to OKC, but the trade has worked out for them.

Oladipo is averaging 24 ppg, 5 boards, and 4 assists while also getting nearly 2 steals per game. He's also shooting 48.5% from the field and nearly 40% from three. Not sure what lit a fire under this dude's ass. He had been pretty underwhelming so far.

Sabonis is putting up 12.6 ppg and grabbing 8.4 boards in only 25.5 minutes per game. He's shooting 53.8% from the field and 36% from three. Both those guys seem to be doing very well in Indy. Meanwhile, if we look at who could have been picked at 10, I'm not sure if there's really anyone that would give them that much more than what they got. Mitchell is a good prospect, but is he better than Oladipo? I don't know.

I hope this "Slap and Grab routine" that seems to be going around the league ends soon. ESPN is probably creaming their jeans on how many exposes they can run about it. But damn, every five minutes I am hearing about how bad the relationship between the players and the refs is. "The violence is out of control!" Ugh.

 

[Shaboid]

I'm surprised they didn't boot this guy out of the stadium!

Parson's is another NO bullet dodged.

Parson's is another NO bullet dodged.

Jeezus, look at MEM's injury report:

Mike Conley 2017-11-14 Achilles Conley is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a small bone protrusion in his left heel.
Deyonta Davis 2018-01-28 Knee Davis is experiencing soreness in both of his knees and it is unknown if he will suit up against the Suns on Monday.
James Ennis III 2018-01-18 Calf Ennis III is sidelined with a right calf strain and will likely need one week to recover.
Tyreke Evans 2018-01-24 Illness Evans has sat out the previous two games due to flu-like symptoms and it is unclear if he will return against the Suns on Monday.
JaMychal Green 2018-01-20 Ankle Green has an an ankle injury and is expected to need one week to recover.
Jarell Martin 2018-01-27 Knee Martin sat out the last game due to injuries to his knee and ankle. His status against the Suns on Monday is uncertain.
Ben McLemore 2018-01-25 Knee McLemore sat out the last game due to soreness in his right knee but is expected to take part in Monday's contest against the Suns.
Chandler Parsons 2017-12-30 Knee Parsons has been sidelined due to soreness in his right knee and a timeline for his return has yet to be established.

Will they even be able to have nine players for tonight's game?

Makes me really wonder why they cut Baldwin, a mid first round pick after just one season. Especially since they are still on the hook for his $1.8 million salary for this season.

In spite of having zero good knees, Parsons was actually having a better season than Allen Crabbe.

You expect any Blazers fans to feel bad for another team’s injury situation? Fuck outta here FAMS.

I think someone on reddit said he's some kind of local comedian or something. So kind of known in that area.

I suppose that makes sense. It definitely wasn't as bad as that Philly fan that gave Westbrick the double birds in the middle of the game, a while back.

 

[KingSpeed]

I sat courtside at a game about 10 years ago and Sergio passed me the ball for a corner three. I shot it. I think I made it.

Sergio wasn't trying to pass it to you, he was looking for Travis Outlaw in the corner, but like so many of Sergio's passes, it missed its mark and ended up in the crowd.

I actually think that's a fair trade all around. I really like it for the Clippers.

Now the question becomes, do they have enough time to suit them up before our game on Tuesday?! Or is it too late?

 

[Boob-No-More]

This guy just became my hero.

Meh, he's a poor man's George Plimpton. Now THAT guy was my hero.

Plus, he pulled off the greatest April Fools Day prank EVER.
