OT- Around the NBA

[PapaG]

Billups out for the year with a torn ACL. That sucks! I was rooting for the Clip Show.

Achilles, not ACL.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Ooops.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Chauncey Billups suffered a torn left Achilles tendon Monday night and will miss the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.

"I feel sick for him," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said Tuesday when reached on his cell phone by ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne. "He's such a pro. After the game last night it was bittersweet. Everyone was just quiet in the locker room, quiet on the plane. People know how much Chauncey means to us -- his character, his leadership. Not only his abilty to play at a high level, but his character and the intagibles he brings. That's why we brought him here. I just feel sick for him."

20 games in 4 weeks is nightmarish and I don't think any team in the league has a schedule like that. (or should)

We had 18 in January.

The Allstar break is going to a much needed break around the entire league.

Clippers try to sign Mills?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Yesterday - 10 day contracts can now be signed.
Friday - All contracts gauranteed for remainder of season.

 

[MickZagger]

That sucks. I've always been a big Billups fan. High character guy that you can tell the youngsters look up to.

 

[THE HCP]

8 straight days off over all-star break

No you don't. We would be complaining how he gets only 2 minutes a game under Nate.

 

[porkchopexpress]

No you don't. We would be complaining how he gets only 2 minutes a game under Nate.

So true.

 

[MickZagger]

Lets go Pacers!

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Congrats to Kobe on moving into 5th place on the @NBA career scoring list

 

[MickZagger]

Utah tied with us in the loss column. Tomorrow's game is a big one for us.

 

[B-Roy]

[KingSpeed]

Derrick Brown of the Bobcats shot 10 of 10 from the field tonight in Boston.

 

[illmatic99]

Steve Nash is a fuckin boss! Clutch shot with 5 secs left to break the tie and take the lead.

18 and 11 tonight on 8/13 shooting in 35mins on the second night of a back to back. This, after dropping 24 and 11 last night on 9/12 shooting in 31mins last night.

 

[illmatic99]

lol. Bucks don't even get a shot off.

 

[RR7]

No you don't. We would be complaining how he gets only 2 minutes a game under Nate.

Really, it'd more likely be people eating crow after bashing him the previous two seasons for not having the guts to come here and play.

 

[santeesioux]

Any interest in this guy? He's probably even more crazy than Arenas.

[illmatic99]

Hell no.

 

[RoyToy]

Ellis with 30pts at half vs Westbrook

Blazers could use him.

 

[RoyToy]

Ellis is destroying Westbrook

Now at 37

 

[RoyToy]

At 40pts with 7min to go in the 3rd

 

[illmatic99]

Monta needs to be an all star.

 

[RoyToy]

It's amazing what having shooters does for your offense

Blazers fail

 

[RoyToy]

The Warriors just bury every open 3pt shot

 

[MickZagger]

It's amazing what having shooters does for your offense

Blazers fail

Blazers: 14-11

Warriors: 8-13

Warriors fail.

 

[illmatic99]

Refs saving OKC again.
