George Karl is calling up David Stockton from the Reno Bighorns. Should be interesting to see if he gets any playing time. He's had some big game in Reno.
 
Is Bosh's career over? He can't play with this, can he? This sounds really serious. Like what happened to Kersey.

Are you just arguing to argue? Aldridge is continuing to play in the regular season games as well. Anthony had indicated prior to the all-star game that he was going to be shutting it down for the rest of the season. The two situations aren't even slightly analogous.

The point is Anthony was ABLE to play and he played. Didn't make his injury worse. Why shouldn't he have played?

I hope not.. As much as I hate him... As well as some of the things he's said in the past make me go "WTF".
I honestly think he's the most versatile PF in the game.
 
Wait, Jordan shot 28 freethrows tonight??? When I posted earlier, I thought that was his FG shooting which seemed odd for the kind of player he is. Wow. 10/28 on freethrows. And they won.

It was embarrassing to watch the spurs foul him... It basically felt like they were waving the white flag because they had no answer for Crawford and Paul.

Dude. They don't play D at Reno. They gave up 175 to the D'Fenders. That team just shoots... no real offense. They don't even hustle back on D. It's a horrible way to play basketball, and a horrible way to teach professionals how to play this game.

First of all, you don't know that he didn't make his injury worse. He very well might have; you're just guessing. But on top of that, it's intuitive. If he's not healthy enough to play basketball for the team that is paying him $20M to do so, he certainly shouldn't be playing for free.

Not to mention, there's also the fact that had he sat out, another player would have been granted the opportunity to play in his place. By playing, he denied all-star status to another of his NBA brethren, possibly denying him all-star bonuses, or contact escalators that could come along with it.

Or there's also the fact that he was clearly not 100% out there, and was a detriment to his team. He shot 30%, the worst of any east player. If just 3 more of the 20 shots he took had gone in, his team would have won. His presence and crappy chucking cost each of his east teammates the winners check.

Easy cowboy.

Don't explain that to me, explain it to George Karl.

I watch most Dleague games.... but I will not watch a Reno Bighorns game. I hope the Grenwald, or whatever the hell system that is, never gets used prominently in basketball.
 
The Raps just gunned down the Hawks.
 
Rockets, Suns, Spurs and Blazers all got their butts kicked tonight. Looks like guys are coming back rusty from the break

Chris Bosh is out for the season, really hope he gets the right treatment and is back on the floor soon.

Holy crap that sucks. Bosh is widely known as one of the genuinely nice guys in the league. Heard its not life threatening at the moment, hope he gets better soon.
Good thing the heat got Dragic otherwise theyd be tanking.
 
Mo Williams 24 points 11 assists and counting in his first game as a Hornet.
 
Houston announcer just said "Good flop" by Beverly. So the announcers are used to this and think it's the proper way to play basketball. What a joke.
