Fun fact: Kahn was born to a Jewish family in Portland Oregon, and was a sports writer for The Oregonian from '83-89.

During this time he had an extended, torrid affair with Dwight Jaynes that led to the birth of Jason Quick and the bowel movement known as John Canzano. Reports that Canzano grew up in the sewers as king of a tribe of leeches have never been confirmed - but we are going to assume they are true.

Hey.....it MIGHT have happened! :dunno:

Montiejunas is available. Should we go after him? I think he'll be good.

Would trade Leonard for him in a heartbeat. HOU might actually like Leonard if they thought he was a stretch 4 too.

"We all need to be in this together," Love said. "That kind of (ticks) me off. We're supposed to be a team."

Love didn't call out either veteran by name, but the body language for Barea and Cunningham in the fourth made them easily identifiable.

"If and when I did that last year when maybe I didn't sit out for the game for all 48 minutes and so on and so forth, they would have killed me," Love said, referring to him missing many games last year with a broken hand. "They would've aired me out. That's tough. It's two guys that we expect more from them. I think they expect more from themselves."

There was more but I don't feel like going through Twitter to find it all.

So, the guy who went 4-20 and didn't make a field goal in the 4th quarter called out two guys who were sitting on the bench during the 4th quarter collapse? Yeah, got some great team chemistry going there in MINN.

Yeah the bench was 10-18 last night. He was pissed because they were sulking? Give me Barea and Dante right now.

Dante yes... Barea? I don't think I could live in a world with JJ Barea on the Blazers.

To me Barea is one of those players that you hate...unless he is on your team.

I hate his face almost as much as him talking to the officials after every GD call like they were all members of the Lolly Pop Guild at one point in their lives.

Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

The Heat look like they lost all their motor skills in the final 5 min vs NYK. Wade limping. LeBron limping. All of the big 3 flailing around. Definitely not the dog days of the NBA.

NY up 9 with 2 min to play. I sense an upset.
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

How upset is Minn right now they gave up so soon on Foye? 4-6 from 3 and up 14 on OKC. 4 min left in the 3rd.

He's got a PER of 11. I'm sure he's exactly what they're missing. He's on his 5th team. A gem I tell ya!
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

Denver going to beat OKC.

Durant has 30 its, rest of team has 36. Will Westbrook rush back?
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

I wonder when the Westbrook haters are finally going to give him the props he deserves?

First the playoffs last year and now this stretch where they have lost 4 of 6 against weak teams... Durant is far less effective without Westbrook.

I don't know that most fans who hate him, do so because of his stats or contribution to OKC wins. I think it's his face. He and Barea should have a face off - literally.

Depends on which Westbrook you get. He is a very good player but he thinks he is the #1 option and better then Durant.
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

Sometimes I think this is really a year where everything is lining up perfect for the Blazers. Westbrook won't have enough games to get his timing back, the Spurs don't look good against the elite teams, the LA teams have big injuries, the Rockets have an unbalanced roster.

The Warriors could be for real but they don't have anyone to defend Aldridge. It seems like a golden opportunity this year for the Blazers to make some noise.
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

If that isn't representative of a team with issues. OKC forces Denver to drive to the rim with the game way out of hand, instead of just letting them hold the ball at the top at half court. smh
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

The record of the #3 team in the East (ATL at 19-17) wouldn't be good enough to make the playoffs in the West if they started today.

The L*kers, at 14-22 and 13th in the West, would be 0.5 games out of a playoff spot in the East.

It's too bad the NBA can't just have a "best 16 records" for playoffs.
