[MIXUM]

[hasoos]

There were a lot of tight games last night. Games should start getting a bit more intense as teams start to push to make the playoffs.

 

[THE HCP]

playoffs? It's the first week of January. We all know the wins and loses in April count more.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Turk gets a triple double for Orlando . . . would he have done that in Ptd?

Really? So a win now, doesn't count in the standings as much as a win later? You must do some weird math dude. Especially since most of our games now, seem to be against division and western conference opponents, not some team from back east who we are not competing against for playoff position.

Yes, "we" all "know" that April wins count for double in the standings (oddly, April losses count for 2.3x).

I don't know how to type in green.

Nope. Hedo's biggest strength is the pick-n-roll offense, specifically the side pick-n-roll. He needs a dominant low post scorer to be effective. He had that and has it again in Orlando with Dwight Howard. He didn't have it in Toronto or Phoenix. He would have had it with a healthy Greg Oden in Portland.

Of course, with the way LaMarcus has been playing lately...

You have to drink green beer first.



Well, that or use the advanced message window and use the font color selector.

 

[Sinobas]

Fuck that cracker!

Who do you spics have? JJ Barrera?

 

[MickZagger]

Eduardo Najera?

True Mexicana.

Actually they had the guy back in the day that was the first Mexican to play in the NBA who played for college at Grand Canyon.

 

[RoyToy]

LOL at Kobe being 0-9 after the 1st quarter

 

[craigehlo]

Anyone catch the horrible 3-point airball that Durant took with 15 seconds left in the game (in a loss to the Grizz)? He shot it about 10 feet away from the line for no apparent reason. I think he's starting to believe his own hype too much.

 

[huevonkiller]

Love Boat, I like it.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Love Boat, I like it.

Well, he is in Minny... maybe he's an honorary Viking.

Good day for the Blazers playoff race:

Blazers win
Houston loss
NO loss
Denver loss
Utah loss

 

[PapaG]

Stat Beast Love did put up 35/15 in a home loss to the Bobbers. A great night for Fantasy owners of Love, I guess.

 

[MickZagger]

If he knew they were going to lose he would've only put up 20/10.

 

[PapaG]

If he knew they were going to lose he would've only put up 20/10.

Funny, because Tyrus Thomas put up 21/11 off of the bench for the Bobbers.

Did you watch the game?

 

[PapaG]

Did you watch the game?

No, I was watching the Blazer game, as I'm sure most Blazer fans were.

Random stat.

LMA has 64 dunks this season.

Kevin Love has 9 dunks this season.

 

[RoyToy]

Where did you find that dunk statistic

Clearly the Wolves would be much better if they didn't have him.

 

[PapaG]

It would be hard to be a worse team without him.

 

[Nikolokolus]

It would be hard to be a worse team without him.

So what you're saying is they'd be basically the same team if Beasley and Tolliver formed their starting front-court?



Wow.

I was too. Not sure why you brought up Thomas' stats.

Semi-old school, but I got that one. Swell job. ;]
