"Official" Around the NBA January 2015 (1 Viewer)

[Pinwheel1]

Rivers and Bayless are fine as 28-29 picks but not as 10-13 picks.

Yeah but look at the options. Sure there were a couple on the list that in hind sight we should have taken, but not many

If both Leonard and Drummand were off the board we were taking Henson (first) or Lamb (as fallback) imo.

The mighty Clippers just lost at home to Miami - LAC now has 13 losses.

 

[riverman]

That Heat team we beat just destroyed the Clippers! Always a good thing!

 

[riverman]

Spencer Hawes, 4 pts, 1 rebound, 3 fouls, -15 in about 18 minutes..in a 14 pt loss..All of our bigs out produce this guy...dodged a bullet!

You just never know who has the ability to break out when given the opportunity.

Hassan Whiteside 23/16

So, who's waiting to break out for Portland?

 

[PDXFonz]

Memphis just got screwed by a terrible non call on offensive goaltending.

 

[PDXFonz]

These refs are going to need extra security to make it out of Memphis.

 

[PDXFonz]

Memphis is terrifying. I want nothing to do with them in the playoffs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are being exposed. Not good enough to carry a team while LeBron is out.

I do. I want to win the championship. That means beating all comers.

You only have to beat 4 teams to win the championship. Let some one else deal with Memphis.

The problem in the west is who would you want to play instead of Memphis?

 

[PDXFonz]

The problem in the west is who would you want to play instead of Memphis?

In no specific order:
Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, PHX/OKC/NOP, LAC, GSW

 

[Rhal]

In no specific order:
Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, PHX/OKC/NOP, LAC, GSW

So everyone basically.

 

[PDXFonz]

So everyone basically.

Exactly. If Memphis is healthy going into the playoffs they are the last team I want to face.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

If MEM becomes one of the best West teams then we will have to play them in the playoffs.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

David Blatt: "Kevin isn't a max player."

 

[KingSpeed]

Not scared of Memphis.

Whiteside out of nowhere!

He looked solid against Portland and followed that up tonight with a 23/16 game against DeAndre Jordan and the Paper Clips.

Just goes to show that you never know when big men will put it all together. Coming out of college that guy could block shots and that was it. Kind of a Jarvis Varnado type. Those guys used to be hot commodities in the draft. After so many have fizzled out of the league, that trend has kind of went away.

 

[MickZagger]

So glad were above the Clips and Rockets in the Western Conf. standings.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I see Kevin Love is back to putting up big stats on a shitty team

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I see Kevin Love is back to putting up big stats on a shitty team

HAHAHAHAHA!

 

[Rhal]

I see Kevin Love is back to putting up big stats on a shitty team

I love it, when they were winning and Lebron was playing no monster games really for Love but when Lebron sits Love puts up Moses Malone type stats.

 

[magnifier661]

Memphis acquired Jeff Green in a 3 team deal

 

[BigGameDamian]

Memphis acquired Jeff Green in a 3 team deal

Another top west team gets stronger. Will the Blazers counter with a deal of there own?

I don't know but we are still 2nd and GS is 1st in the west without a single move

He had a few good games in a row before playing well against us, and I think we'll see good things from him for the rest of the season.

I usually hate guys who say "I knew 5 years ago that guy would be good," but I remember hyping him going into the 2010 draft. I thought he drew a short stick being drafted by the Kings, but I'm glad he's finally in a place where he'll have a chance to flourish.

We beat anyone in a 7-game series, including Memphis.
