Memphis beats Atlanta 79-76. But that's not the news. Memphis had 1 FT attempt for the game. It was on a technical foul. First time in the shot clock era.

Patty Mills dropped 32/7/4 on the Bobcats, including 18 in the last quarter.

Orlando just beat Indianapolis.

Amazingly, the Pacers only shot 19 FTs against one of the worst teams in the league, compared to 35 against the Blazers.
 
Holy Toledo! The Clippers are beating the Sixers 52-15 early in the second quarter

I thought you had to be kidding. But nope, it's 54-17 now. WOW.

9 minutes left... they may put up 80 in the first half.
 
Thaddeus Young is at a -52.

Deandre Jordan is at a +52

All LAC starters are +40 or higher.
 
From the beginning of the 2nd to midway through the 3rd... the 76ers have RAISED their FG%... from 14% to 15%.
 
Will this make it easier to get a Hawes on our team?
 
If Philly is going to tank that hard, they shouldn't make it so obvious

He's a UFA after this season. Why blow up a young team for a guy that is going to demand more money than Ropez next season?
 
I am going to the Blazer-Clipper game on Wednesday. Not liking the fact they will be so well rested. Portland needs to win Tuesday badly against OKC.

Blow up? I think you might be exaggerating when you say, "blow up."

Sounds like Monty and Tyreke are having issues. Glad we didn't go in that direction. As talented as Evans is, I just get the feeling that he is not the easiest guy to coach. And to think we got Lopez so cheap because of the trade.

Best trade in a long time.

Actually three best recent trades:

Wallace for Dame (essentially)
2nd rounders for Rolo
Tyrus Thomas for LA

All were just crazy

He keeps getting put in the wrong positions. Tyreke needs to be on a team that will play him most of the time at the 2 and maybe a little time at the point. He is not a SF and his worst games & seasons have been when he is forced into that position. It was so dumb for New Orleans to sign him with the relative strength of that position on their team anyways. I still think he'd be a great fit here. He is elite at scoring in the paint and can get soem really easy points for his team. I think he'd be great next to Dame and Nic in the starting 5

Yeah, he needs to play the 6th Man position. Much like Kevin Martin, he'll never be a starter on a good team but could be a very good 6th man.

6th man would be a great role for him, just so long as he stops getting played at the 3

So, you're saying that the entire offensive system would need to be revamped for Evans. Offense in the starting unit isn't a weakness for this team. If you're going to spend $11m for a new SG, maybe have it be an elite defender who stretches the defense with outside shooting? In other words, a guy like Wes except who also is a shut-down defender.
 
Without Love, they scored 110 against us.

With Love, they scored 89 against another subpar defending team Houston. Love scored 31 with 10 rebounds.... He may just not be good for a team.
 
Spurs lose 109-100 in Detroit.

When do they get Kawhi Leonard back?

24-28 for the Wolves, who were supposed to be the surprise team this year.

Love isn't a #1. I'm not sure he's even a #2. Does he force a trade this summer? Where is a landing spot for him? Would the Clippers move Griffin for him? I doubt it, but it could happen.

Not with the way Blake has been playing lately.

Love will be a Laker. You just know it. I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

The league will dictate where he goes. And that will be the Lakers. I highly doubt Love actually has a choice.

Love is Shareef Abdur Raheem mkII. I hope he does go to the lakers because he's a loser.
