Around The NBA

[MickZagger]

Are you a Minnesota fan these days? Seriously, I think that you are. Am I wrong?

You are wrong. I'm a Portland fan that is enamored with Kevin Love's skillset.

 

[MickZagger]

I didn't watch the game, but Millsap ended 10-16 for 23 points while Love was 7-20 for 25 in yet another loss dropping the Wolves to 6-24. KL played 40 minutes to PM's 31, and had 19 boards 2 assts 0 stls 0 blks... Millsap had 11 boards 4 assts 3 stls 1 block. The stats and game results sure don't reflect ownage especially when you consider that the Jazz not only won but out-rebounded the Pups

My argument was never that the Wolves were better than the Jazz. I kinda figured that the Wolves would blow another lead. Thats been their M.O. all season.

Fetish for offensive rebounding?

 

[MickZagger]

Fetish for offensive rebounding?

As opposed to a fetish for 6'11" jump shooters?

 

[RoyToy]

Not sure I've met anyone that's obsessed with a 6-11 jump shooter unless you add an inch to 6-11 and his name is Dirk Nowitzki.

I'm enamored with once in a generation type rebounders. Especially one's from the Portland area. Get over it, brotha.

I thought your point was that Love was owning Millsap??? Stats and results say otherwise

He was until the 4th quarter.

I just find it interesting, that's all. There's so much more to the game then just being enamored with rebounding. To each his own.

I find it odd that you find it that interesting.

I know the lakers will come back and will win, but how can the Bucks team we saw last night lead LA in the 4th?

Monday, we beat the Bucks by 26. Tuesday, they beat the Lakers by 19. Wednesday, we would have beaten the Lakers by 45, but once again, we are the victim of scheduling.

Brings the ball up the floor like a guard and then completes the play with a ridiculous finish. Special talent.

 

[MickZagger]

Dunks are pretty cool.

Yeah, but his team lost again and are only 8-22, therefore, he must suck, right PaPaG?

BNM

 

[Boob-No-More]

He was until the 4th quarter.

He also got into foul trouble and had to sit out stretches of the 4th quarter.

Blake Griffin is fun to watch. I do not think I watched that much Clippers basketball ever.

 

[illmatic99]

I've watched almost every LAC game since I traded Noah for Griffin in my fantasy league last month.

The Clips have become my second team now.

 

[PapaG]

BNM

Huh? I don't think Griffin or Love "suck". I've held the belief that I would prefer LMA over Love on my team. Never have I said that Griffin or Love "suck". Get your facts straight, please.

 

[RoyToy]

Dunks are pretty cool.

Yup, and effective. Highest percentage shot in basketball. Great advantage having a guy like Griffin on your team who can catch and dunk anything.

Gerald Green used to dunk real pretty.

 

[RoyToy]

Yeah, it's too bad he sucked.

 

[RoyToy]

Anyways, just checked Griffin's splits for this month

22pts/14reb/4asts on 50% shooting for the month of December. Only a rookie. Ridiculous. Special talent.

 

[THE HCP]

^So did Harold Miner!

He's like Karl Malone with the athletic ability of a young Vince Carter.

 

[MickZagger]

Hornets lose to the Wolves. That pick is going to be better than most think. A pick in the 10-15 range for a guy that is in the doghouse on a garbage Raptors teams isn't a bad deal at all.

For a self-aware computer program you're really bad at math.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Blazers win . . . Utah, OKC, and NO loss.

 

[Nikolokolus]

BTW, I'm kidding about Bayless, he seems to have made the most of his opportunities in Toronto when he gets consistent minutes (over 25). When he gets bench minutes he's struggled.

 

[Pinwheel1]

What a great finish to the Sac/Memphis game. One of the best last 2 seconds ever. (Two prayers in 2 seconds) Over all a very exciting last 30 seconds.
