They have one of the easier schedules and are struggling. Even after getting the benefit of some calls in 2 recent games that the league later said were wrongly officiated at the end of the game in favor of Dallas.

Yeah, I thought before the season we'd be much better with JJ as a backup big than TRob. I did think TRob had more long term potential. I'm starting to doubt it, would glady trade them now. Although with LaMarcus and others badmouthing Hickson seems like theres too much bad blood to go back.

No mention of Turkey Glue signing with the Clips for the rest of the season?
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

Just watched the Suns/Lakers....there are a few players in this league that I really can't stand for one reason or another like Matt Barnes but I have always disliked Nick Young. Always trying to front on people and talk smack no matter what the situation. But tonight was a low.

He got drilled by Alex Len on a fast break..... probably a flagrant 2 type foul. He jumped up and swings at Len......When Morris shoves him back and he goes flying, he rushes the smallest white guy on the floor Dragic and swings at him......an innocent bystander! What a prick!

What does white have to do with it?

There's more white UFC fighters than black ones.

Larry Bird woulda sent Young 3 rows deep with a knucklesandwich.

Because if you saw it there was 3 big blacks dudes pushing him back into the stands and he doesn't even look at them.......he goes the opposite directions and ttys to punch Dragic. He's a bitch player, plain and simple. And did you see he called out his teammates for not having his back.....who would?

“What I’m mad about is it was 1-on-5, I felt like,” Young said. “If somebody (from the Lakers) would have got in the middle, everything wouldn’t have escalated that much.”

Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni said that the Lakers, who only had nine healthy players on the roster coming into Wednesday’s game, reacted appropriately to the play. “You don’t fight in this league,” D’Antoni said. “It wouldn’t help us to lose two or three more guys. So, I hate that Nick feels that way, but I’m sure he’s just in the moment, talking.”

Lakers point guard Kendall Marshall put the onus on Young to show more composure.

“I understand where Nick’s coming from, he did get fouled hard and it wasn’t a basketball play by any means but at the same time, we got to understand our numbers (of available players on the roster) and sometimes you just got to win some and lose some,” Marshall said. “I don’t know if that was the smartest play at the time.”

“I understand because there was a lot of guys that were swarming (Young) from that team so it looked like it was just 1-on-4, 1-on-5, I think he felt like that,” said Wes Johnson. “We always have his back, but for the players that were on the bench, we couldn’t do but only so much.”

Lakers co-captain Pau Gasol also defended Young.

“Nick got fouled pretty hard, fell on the floor and he was upset about the foul and I think everybody would have been,” Gasol said. “Unfortunately we didn’t get a guy in between Nick and the three or four guys that were going at him, so I think that was the first mistake or slow reaction on our part. We should have protected Nick there because he had, like I said, a couple guys just pushing him and shoving him.”

He didn't rush Dragic. He got bullied into a corner and Dragic just happened to be there.
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

^?? Did you not watch the clip?
 
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

I'm not gonna lie. I'd take Dragic over Nick Young in a fight, you just don't fuck with those Eastern European dudes.

I really dislike Phoenix. They're a bunch of punks. Especially the Morris twins. They're dirty.

That's what happens when you turn a Big 3 into a Big 2 and one of them goes down. If they still had Harden, they'd be cruising.
