OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread - March edition

Minnesota is starting to look like they got a steal with Georgi Deng. That guy has been balling lately.

He has a very solid game, seems to compliment Love really well as well. Sets good screens, seems to be in the right place defensively a lot of the time. From the three games i'v watched he doesnt' seem like a rookie but its a small sample size.

......and why does Favors only average 12/8 on a shitty Jazz team?

 

[MickZagger]

Utah's got a nice young team. I knew Favors would be pretty good.

He's got a PER of 18.3

Oh, thats right, you don't understand geek speak.

Pekovic suddenly available?

If he could just stay off the dame DL!

He showed tremendous talent while playing for Louisville. It was only a matter of time to showcase his talent as a starting center.

They might deal him for a great shooter if deing keeps this up.

I think it would be in their best interest trading Pekovic at some point next season or the season after. Dieng is the real deal.

Don't fuck this up Utah. Up 9 going into the 4th. Just close it out.

Favors looks fat to me. As in, he's a lot heavier than he was, and still can't shoot.

Gasol and Randolph have always been fat as well. They're both damn good players.

 

[MickZagger]

I don't understand why this Joerger guy was such a prized commodity. He's made the Grizz worse.

Going back in time one of the best fat men to play was Oliver Miller. Played with the Suns and the Jazz. Guy had game. Worst fat guy to play had to be Raymond Felton

Yeah, he's tainted the image of cupcakes forever. :MARIS61:

 

[MickZagger]

Fuck! Don't blow this Jazz!

 

[HailBlazers]

Damn Jazz lets Go

 

[Strenuus]

Hayward has done crap for about 2 1/2 quarters it seems. lol. Hes Batuming out there on the court.

Definition of "Batuming": Disappearing whenever the hell he feels like it.

 

[Strenuus]

Damn double post!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Kind of a odd story..."Warriors demote Brian Scalabrine"

[Strenuus]

My jinx worked! Go Hayward!

 

[THE HCP]

Damn!

 

[Strenuus]

God damnit Jazz. Can't trust 'em to do anything.

They are polling people who lets ESPN tell them what to think. I take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Strenuus]

Gah! You gotta make both... 2 point memphis lead, 15 seconds left.

 

[Strenuus]

Shit. Memphis won.

Interesting how the entire rest of the U.S. (AND the international votes) voted a lower percentage for us. We had the highest percentage vote count of any state for the Blazers to miss the playoffs. Have we really given up on them?

Can you blame them?

20-20 since Jan. 2nd.

12-14 since Febuary 1st.

5-9 since Mar. 1st

Nothing to really get all too excited about.

Yet the entire rest of the world thinks we have the second-lowest chance of missing the playoffs.
