What a waste. Those boys don't appreciate those expensive seats like I would.
 
Joakim Noah is the best center in the NBA. Yes he is a better basketball player than Dwight Howard.

That is all.

I wish one of the Blazers would bring that effort to the game. The closest they have is Robinson, and if he turns into a poor mans Noah, that's not a bad thing.

Yep. By Kingspeed's logic, that'd be season over. Win or lose, if you can't beat up on a team like Atlanta, you lose the rest of the season. But if you win, you're a contender.

Not my logic at all. We've been trending down and we can't afford to lose season series to Houston. If we lose, it is highly unlikely that we will get the three seed. It is sad to fall to 6th or 7th seed after having best record in WEst at the mid point of the season. The Clippers are trending up but I'm not concerned with them. I'm concerned with Houston. And I was never upset when we lost to Lakers. Cant win em all. We had just eon 5 in a row and Lakers were playing well. But when you lose another close game against a winning team, it's not good. Indiana, OKC, Spurs, Clippers, Mavs. It gets worse and worse.
 
ALSO the Clippers BEAT the Hawks. I've never said that's it bad to only win by 1. EVER. Clippers are on fire. Doesn't Matter how much you win by.
 
Westbrook airball, YES! Bazemore to clinch it. Another airball by Westbrook.
 
Thunder's season over. They lost to the lakers.

a loss to the Lakers on the road ≠ a loss to the Lakers at home, though.

Yeah it does. You should never lose to the lakers anywhere. Lakers on par to have losing record at home for the first time since the 90's. It does equal. Thunder season over.

FIGHT!

Griffin shoves Alondo Tucker to the ground and Tucker gives him a fore-arm shiver. Something everyone wants to do.

P.J. Tucker is to Patrick Beverley the same that Blake Griffin is to Damian Lillard. If the NBA wants a bunch of Tuckers and Beverleys getting away with fouling opposing stars on every play, then keep at it. I'd rather see Lillard not to have to deal with a hockey goon who wears a god-damned mask so he can get away with even more flops when he "breaks" his nose.

Tucker played in summer league in 2013 at the age of 28. Smart by Hornacek, if getting a goon was the goal.

I would have done the same thing Tucker did if Griffin fell on top of me like that. It was plain to see what Griffin was doing.

At some point, the star player needs to assert his dominance against a scrub. Tucker and Beverley are scrubs. Griffin and Lillard aren't scrubs.

Tucker isn't very talented at all, but he's found a niche in the league as a starter for a playoff contending team. Can you really blame a guy for finding a place in the league and earning a good living.

Tucker and Beverley are different IMO. Beverly is out to injure players (like Westbrook). Tucker was fighting for position for a loose ball and Griffin didn't like it so he tried some judo style shit resulting in a bow to the face.

Griffin is grating. I'm surprised you'd compare Griffin's shenanigans to anything Lillard does to be honest.
 
The Blazers could use a guy like Tucker

He makes up for his lack of talent with energy and toughness. Guys like him are always underrated/overlooked.
 
Yannick Noah Cheers On His Son Joakim During Interview

Andrew Bynum will make his Pacers' debut tonight against the Celtics.

Man, if he can give them 10 - 12 solid minutes a night backing up Hibbert, he'll give Indy the boost to get back on top. They've been looking really tired lately, and the Evan Turner/Danny Granger trade hasn't paid any benefits. They got Bynum for free. He only seems to play well when he's on a team contending for a championship. So, Philly and Cleveland were horrible destinations for him. If he can get a little fire back, Indy could be very tough in the playoffs. If not, they aren't any worse off than before they signed him.
