By rvy Go To PostLakers can't even suck right.it's great I agree
By reilo Go To PostIn a blowout loss in garbage time cheesing for assists? Pretty comparable.for a chance to break a 50 year almost unbreakable record? Yeah same thing
By s y Go To Postit's great I agree
Insofar cheesing for the assists feels like a means to an end rather than doing it because it'll win you the game.
Come on Hornets, your playoff lives will end tonight if you don't pull this one out. Stomp these guys.

edit:
basically this is the 3rd time we've ended the bobcats/hornets season

Sure, they need a miracle, but lose tonight and they're out no matter what.
Plus, they have a bunch of white guys. If I were an American white NBA player I'd be going balls out every time I played the Celts, you know they want to throw the money at you. Half their RealGM board thinks Hayward is already on the roster.
The Caucasian persuasion strat slipped my mind, my apologies.
Also, how good is SVG really? He's been the cach + GM and gave a max to Reggie Jackson and is looking to give the keys to KCP.

Before the year started I had this as my 8 teams in the East:
1. CLE
2. TOR
3. BOS
4. CHI
5. ATL
And then 4 of MIL, IND, CHA, DET, I wasn't sure which of those wouldn't make it (as it turns out 2 probably won't, thx Wizards). But I definitely believed in DET, almost entirely just because of SVG.

Bleacher Report's mock from the Westbrook draft is kind of amazing.
Who is that player you ask?
At this point I couldn't keep reading, I was laughing too hard. But somehow it gets better...
Bonus:
"Here are three players who are not alike. He's just like them, except 4-5" shorter."
By Bleacher Report1.) Chicago Bulls—Derrick Rose
I want to start out by saying I think this pick is a huge mistake. The Bulls seem locked into Rose, and as a fan of the division rival Pacers, I could not be happier that he is the way they are leaning.
Derrick Rose will be a solid NBA point guard, probably easily an above average one, but they are passing on a player that will be a first ballot Hall of Famer and a multiple time NBA All-Star.
Who is that player you ask?
2.) Miami Heat—Michael Beasley
I have a hard time believing that the Heat are really shopping this pick as has been widely reported. I think in the end you will see Miami sit here and get far and away the best player in this draft and we will quickly see them with the top level Eastern Conference teams again.
Michael Beasley is a hybrid of so many players past and present, and is as much of a sure thing that we’ve seen in the draft since Tim Duncan.
At this point I couldn't keep reading, I was laughing too hard. But somehow it gets better...
He combines Charles Barkley’s rebounding as an undersized power forward, Antawn Jamison’s versatility and ability to score from anywhere on the floor, Shawn Marion’s explosive leaping and offensive rebounding talents, and Carmelo Anthony’s quick first step and strength. I am not saying what Beasley could become; I am listing what Beasley is right now.
I will even go as far as to say that in 15-20 years when we are looking back on Beasley’s career we will be talking about a top 50 all time player in this league.
Bonus:
3.) Minnesota Timberwolves—O.J. Mayo … the qualities that make Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, Tracy McGrady etc. elite wing scorers. We will have to wait to see if he will be able to do it at the same level that those guys do, but there is no question that he is that type of player.
The concern with O.J. is that he is a good four or five inches shorter than all of those guys, but his worst case scenario is pretty much Ben Gordon, and he is a far better defender than Gordon is.
"Here are three players who are not alike. He's just like them, except 4-5" shorter."
Brooklyn knocked Chicago down into 8th.
By knux-future Go To PostBeasley was supposed to have next. He was simply too stupid and perhaps a bit before his time tho.He's still in this time. He still sucks.
I've watched about 5 Charlotte games this season, but I couldn't tell you what the Hornets' offence is if you asked me.
Saric is really good, but I have a feeling he's going to grow into one of those players who everybody but fans of his own team hates.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostSaric is really good, but I have a feeling he's going to grow into one of those players who everybody but fans of his own team hates.Why do you say this? probably fan bias but I haven't seem him do anything worth hating over.

He's got major Klay punchable face potential.
I hope I'm wrong. He's young, there's still time.
By unknown Go To Postdam wtf Philly is still nice with the tank.
Trying so hard not to crack 80.
my goodness this dumb parlay i placed might actually come through

By livefromkyoto Go To PostThis Miami -Washington game is getting pretty intense.Unfortunately. Was hoping Washington would have secured the W by now.
By s y Go To PostUnfortunately. Was hoping Washington would have secured the W by now.
No, Miami are the only remaining hope to knock out the Bulls.
By unknown Go To Postdam wtf Philly is still nice with the tank.It will be insane if they can get #1 and #4
By diehard Go To PostGo Spurs Go!
I need the Clips to finish on a 3 game losing streak. Let's do this, Pops.
By diehard Go To Postcomin for Utah
I like that you kept this one in your pocket for months to play at the perfect time.
By diehard Go To PostGo Spurs Go!
Pop sat Parker on a quick LA timeout in the 3rd. Patty has been chasing around Chris Paul.
Chris Paul sits with 3 left to go in the 3rd and Pop sends in Parker.
Is Parker lowkey 2nd string now?
By unknown Go To Postwtf are lakers doing lmao! thank god we got raps tomorrow, don't mess this up kyoto.
Say what you will about Phil but at least we own all our future 1st round picks
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostSay what you will about Phil but at least we own all our future 1st round picksTry not to trip over the bar that's laying on the floor.
By pkaz01 Go To PostIt will be insane if they can get #1 and #4
I assume Fultz and then Monk. Philly could legit have a scary team in 3 seasons.
By reilo Go To PostTry not to trip over the bar that's laying on the floor.
Fuck that we got Cap space too!
By reilo Go To PostGot my scotch ready. diehard, do you got your Mountain Dew ready?I'm actually watching the Spurs game, i had the Jazz down for an easy Loss tonight.
By diehard Go To PostI'm actually watching the Spurs game, i had the Jazz down for an easy Loss tonight.Well, Damian has 22 points in the first quarter. Utah has 11.
Damn we're not catching Philly or Orlando. Assuming we lose tomorrow to the Raptors (pls) we're pretty much locked in 6th. Even if we beat Philly in the last game Sacramento and or Minny would have to win out and they still have games against Phoenix and LA respectively. We could have done better but I would have taken that back in January.
