11/12 in 15 min. for T-Rob.

Mt. Gobert continues to own the glass.

 

[KingSpeed]

Whoa. Apparently, the Wizards were up 35 vs the Heat with 19 minutes to go and only won by 2.

They have been some kind of ugly the last 3 weeks. I don't know what happened.

It's Wittman. He's a joke.

How so? They were rollin', and I loved watching them, but now... lol.

Doesn't utilize his bigs. Has them clog the lane, rendering Wall useless. Nobody on the team can hit a 3 unless wide open.

Makes sense. Gortat does usually just sit there and make sure his 'hawk doesn't flap in the wind... Is Beal not that good of a 3 shooter? Because, besides him, I can't think of many players they have that can spread the floor.

But, do I love to watch me some John Wall.

 

[bulls_with_booz]

Beal is injured at the moment. Butler can hit it only if open, Pierce is a relic at this point in his career, and there's only some much Wall can do. Not sure if Beal/Wall can save them in the playoffs. Both Nene & Gortat struggle like Noah & Gasol struggle, they both are often too slow to be effective defensively, especially when Noah's at the 4.

Im watching the game tonight and Beal is playing.

Yeah, watching Gortat do help side defense is... special. lol.

 

[bulls_with_booz]

Oh I had no idea. I heard the Wizards barely won against the Heat after having a huge lead.

Yep. The 2nd half just started on the replay I'm watching, and they were up 28. lol.

Clippers are signing Nate Rob to a 10 day contract.

Is it me or does current Clippers remind you of when the Blazers in 2002 when they were desperately trying to find someone, anyone to salvage the terrible moves they made?

 

[KingSpeed]

Suns outscored Cavs 27-9 in 4th quarter but lost by 10.

Jones took classes from Harden on how to flop. What an embarrassing team to be a part of.

portland never flops

portland never flops

Seeing as you are clearly an opposing teams' fan for whom we all know, I'll just nod politely, since you are opining for a reaction.

It was a valiant effort though, I appreciate that you had the time to do it. It means a lot to us.

 

[ripcityflower]

i once had sex with a horse. Three times. In a week. Today.

 

[Strenuus]

ive never seen portland flop once in my lifetime, what a wonderful, franchise who has never had a player do anything disrespectful to the game of basketball.

On behalf of the board, I would like to thank you for taking the time to come to the board. I hope you find your stay fascinating, and tip your waitstaff.

I've been really wanting to ban someone lately.

Lies! I've never seen you at the meetings.

Then you do some pussy ass shit. Different meetings.

Mavs are tumbling down the standings. 7th at the moment and in a tight one with Lakers.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ellis 1 of 5 from FT line!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Haha I would love if the Thunder did this! Hitching their wagon to Westbrick? Idiots!

Former NBA executive Tom Penn thinks Russell Westbrook's recent hot streak could have the Thunder thinking about trading Kevin Durant.
Espousing a theory that would have been laughed at just six months ago, Penn thinks Thunder general manager Sam Presti will look to trade Durant if he doesn't get a commitment that Durant will re-sign with Oklahoma City when he becomes a free agent after the 2015-16 season. While we have a long way to go before anything happens, Westbrook's otherworldly play as of late makes this an option that Presti at least has to consider if Durant won't commit to staying with the Thunder.

Whiteside got suspended a game for cracking Olynyk with an elbow.

I like him even more now.
