OT- Around the NBA

[Fez Hammersticks]

Kyle Lowry is a monster. I didn't think he was this good of a playmaker -- 18 dimes tonight.

 

[Natebishop3]

It's too bad we didn't pick him up when we had the chance.

What a steal for my fantasy team. Got him for $22.

 

[THE HCP]

Lowry went in the 9th round of our fantasy draft..... what a steal!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

How much was Westbrook going for? A hell of a lot less, I trust.

60. It was nuts. We have 20 teams in our league, with 10 players/team, and everyone inflated prices like crazy in the early rounds during the auction, leaving behind some awesome discounts later on.

Raymond Felton's career high is 19 assists. I'm happy with who we have.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Steve Blake once got 14 assists in a quarter. Why did we ever let him go?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

wayne gretzky lead the league in goals AND assists for a season.

now aint THAT some shit

 

[MickZagger]

Raymond Felton's career high is 19 assists. I'm happy with who we have.

Plus Raymond's a gangly gangsta.

 

[illmatic99]

Demarcus Cousins has demanded a trade, and Sac coach Westphal announces it to the world.

LOL.

[SheedSoNasty]

Bring him to Portland.

 

[THE HCP]

Guy is a straight nut job! I'd take him though.

True, but you have to admit there's a certain appeal to having a Marcus, LaMarcus, and DeMarcus trio on the Blazers.

Well, on second thought...no.

Uncle Vodka's head would explode.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm trying to think what active coach Cousins deserves to have now that Jerry Sloan and Pat Riley are no longer coaching. Greg Poppovich?

 

[illmatic99]

Yup. Or Avery.

 

[jlprk]

Yup. Or Avery.

He needs a little coach he can beat up.

Whoever we replace Nate with?

 

[illmatic99]

oh Shit. ZBo goes down after Mayo fell into him. It's the knee.

 

[illmatic99]

OMG they just showed him trying to walk. Wow. That looked bad.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Broken bone?

 

[illmatic99]

Looked like the ACL.

 

[Nikolokolus]

The Wolves looked damned good tonight ... Rubio and Love on pick and rolls looks like something they can build off of.

Rubio is special. He is going to be very good someday very soon

 

[tlongII]

Memphis lottery bound.

I had serious doubts about him transitioning to the NBA game ... now that I see him, I'm starting to think he's custom made for it and his lack of fit in the ACB was the problem. He makes that whole team look better when he's on the floor (as if Love needed his job made that much easier).

If they aren't a playoff team this year, they should be one next year.

Similarly, I was reading today that Petteri Koponen's talents are better suited for the NBA than Europe. Here he assists to Batum before they were drafted.



more pre-draft Koponen

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Memphis lottery bound.

It's just a contusion on his knee, apparently.

You are aware we traded his rights to Dallas, right?

But fortunately, he is nothing like the talent Rubio is. He's a dreaded combo guard - they play him mostly at off-guard on his Italian team.
