Damn

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh my god. How bad is it? This is awful news.

 

[NOVoodoo]

Damn

NO!!! What happened man?? I watched the Denver game on and off tonight, but when the Nugz pulled away, I stopped watching ball for the night.

I don't see anything on ESPN about the injury, except for what you posted. Did it look serious?

 

[jlprk]

Anyone notice how Tobias Harris has been balling out with Orlando?

He's averaging 16.3 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 1.9 apg, 1.5 bpg since the trade, not including his 30 pts, 19 rbs, and 5 ast game tonight against his former team.

His PER with Orlando is 16. He was one of the 2 #1s we gave with Dante to get Gerald Wallace.

"Rookie Anthony Davis, the first pick in the 2012 draft, limped off the court midway through the fourth quarter after crashing to the floor while drawing an offensive foul against Thornton, who landed on Davis' left knee.

The Hornets said that Davis sprained his left knee. His status is unknown for the final three games of the season. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that Davis, who was limping noticeably on his way to the team bus, is scheduled to have an MRI on Thursday."

[Jayps15]

He walked off the court limping, but not like carried off or anything. From what I've read it sounds like just a tweak, not anything to serious, but they'll probably be cautious and shut him down.

 

[THE HCP]

Hope Davis is OK!

@ESPNStatsInfo: John Henson- 17 points, 25 rebounds, 7 blocked shots last night. Last player with at least that many of each in a game- Shaq in 2004

Vias @ELIASSports, @kobebryant 3rd player (since steals became official, '73-74) w/ 45+pts, 5+ast, 3+stls at age 34 or older (Bird, MJ)

 

[THE HCP]

nbastats

Carmelo Anthony has scored 36+ pts in 5 straight games; last player with streak of 6+ such games was Kobe Bryant (9 straight, Feb. 2003).

I bet the game Bird did that was that OT game against the Blazers where he hit a stumbling three to send it into OT.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

John Henson was somebody I was interested in on draft night. Drummond was NOT. Guess I was wrong-er than I was right. The Bucks are kind of stacked for the future: if they end up with a front line of an improved Henson plus Larry Sanders then it won't matter than Jennings and Ellis are total gunners.

The Heat are 13-3 against West playoff teams. Losses @ MEM, @ LAC & vs. GSW.

Tobias Harris at 20 years old is ballinnnnnnnn

Jealous of Orlando. Him and Paul George have jumped up the SF rankings this year. In a couple years those two will be right behind LeBron, Durant and Melo.

Chandler Parsons is sneaky good as well.

Seems like you love every SF in the NBA BUT Batum.

 

[RoyToy]

Seems like you love every SF in the NBA BUT Batum.

The stakes were raised when he signed that contract. He needs to be more consistent and less passive.

Tobias Harris with Orlando is arguably better than Batum this season, and Tobias is only 20. This is Batum's 5th season in the league.....

@SpearsNBAYahoo: Hornets forward Anthony Davis has a sprained MCL & bone bruise in LT knee & will miss rest of season,but there is no other structural damage

@ESPNStatsInfo: Kevin Durant would need to score at least 47 points tonight to overtake Carmelo for the scoring lead (averaging 27.4 PPG last 5)

Did anyone see Inside the NBA on TNT earlier?

They had a great spot on Lorenzen Wright. I've got give them credit for that one. Lorenzen's death is still a mystery... we all "know" how it went down if you ask anyone on the street, but nothing's been proven by the cops, and the case is closed. My brother lives in the apt complex he got tortured in, before they dragged him to the woods outback and shot him, so I'm in that area of Memphis a lot, and when I drive by the woods they shot him and dumped his body in, I still get chills every now and then.

I remember showing up to check it out and pay respects about a week or so after he'd been murdered, and there was still a roped off, seven foot pool of blood, not even too far off the dirt road through the woods. Juxtaposed with the roses, teddy bears, and Memphis jerseys laid on the fence, it was a pretty unforgettable scene.

I think Memphis should retire his jersey, not just because he was just some player who died, but because he played his high school, college, and pro ball all in the city of Memphis and really meant a lot to the city. Pau Gasol holds the records right now, Shane Battier did more for the community, but Lorenzen Wright was the pride of the city since he was a kid, through college, and then again in the pro's. I'd love to see his jersey in the rafters.

I never heard any of that..... is there any theories on why they tortured him?

Anyone have a youtube clip? I'd like to see the piece on Inside the NBA.

 

[THE HCP]

His death and Bison's death are crazy unsolved stories.

 

[julius]

Anyone see the Spurs waived Stephen Jackson?

Surprise surprise, he couldn't cut the mustard (again) in San Antonio

 

[NOVoodoo]

Couldn't find a clip... will post if I find it though.

I never heard any of that..... is there any theories on why they tortured him?

Word is that he owed Craig Petties (or someone in his organization) some money and couldn't pay up. He left his house with a box of drugs and cash, was then tortured, shot through the eyes, and dumped not too far behind the apartment in the woods, where he laid there decomposing for ten days until cops found his corpse.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

just reading a little on craig petties and his crew, memphis seems like a nice place...

 

[Run BJM]

W's got raped by the refs last night. Anyone else see that fucking bullshit foul they called on Steph to give Blake two free throws (emphasis on FREE) that ultimately won the game?

And Boguts injured again. Ugh.

Kobe Bryant's 27.3 PPG this season was the best scoring average in NBA history by a player in his 17th season or later
