The Blazers are really gonna tank out of the playoffs and lose their pick anyway, aren't they? They were #1 in the West 1/3 into the season, how is this possible?
So, tonight.
Kevin Garnett: Out
Andrei Kirilenko: Out
Marcus Thornton: GTD
Deron Williams: GTD
It's never easy.

“Fifty-one points,” Jackson, in a dark blue suit and a striped tie, said as he arched his eyebrows. “When it’s 35 points you start to get worried. When it’s a 51-point quarter, that’s really awful.”
Jackson said he had not yet begun to inquire about coaches, scouts or other front office staff he might want to bring in. He is in assessment mode.
“We’re in a talent hunt,” Jackson said. “We have to bring in talent.”
“This is just residual depression from losing a game that they were up by 17 points on Sunday,” Jackson said. “It kind of took their hopes away from being in the playoffs.”Broken. By. The. Cleveland. Cavaliers.
In the locker room, the Knicks were in the familiar position of explaining the incomprehensible. Woodson said that “all hell broke loose.” Anthony said the Knicks did not compete. And Tyson Chandler said it was too late for a team meeting.
4-6 tanking left:
Jazz critical games: vs. NYK (UTA is coming off b2b), vs. NOP (Jazz are rested), @ DEN (UTA is coming off b2b), vs. LAL (LAL is coming off b2b)
Celtics: vs. PHI, @DET (BOS coming off b2b), @ PHI.
Lakers: @MIL, @SAC (LAL coming off b2b), @UTA (LAL coming off b2b)
Jazz have 11 games left, Lakers and Celtics have 12. Jazz are half a game ahead (in the tank race) compared to Boston, a game and a half ahead of the Lakers.
Difference between 4-6 is probably the difference between Dante Exum and Clint Capela/Marcus Smart/Noah Vonleh. Not sure how big that difference is though.

Speaking of tanks, there's a chance the Lakers might get a pick worse than #6 (if things ended today) if a team moved up (which has happened plenty of times).
Which sounds wonderful to me.

I mean, that's just… godly.
Free Dirk… please dear god that is absurd.
Free him from what? You mean get Dirk some goddamn help. Him, Carlisle, and Cuban work well together. If they had Chandler right now, they'd be a 5th-6th seed easily.
BBall Breakdown: How the Lakers scored 51 points on the Knicks in the 3rd quarter
BBall Breakdown: How the Lakers scored 51 points on the Knicks in the 3rd quarterI don't need to watch it. Knicks defense is a joke. They made the Bulls offense look better than the last place offense that it is.
Edit: Ended up watching the video anyways. Watching the "Knick's zone defense" was amusing.
Remember this?

I can't wait.

When he heard about Toronto’s Terrence Ross saying last week that he’d prefer Brooklyn, Blatche said the 23-year-old Ross was fooling himself.
“Shit, you better be careful what tree you bark up. He better be careful,” Blatche told the Daily News. “He’s probably just saying that because he had a good game against us. But I don’t think that’s really what he meant or what he really, really wants.”

KG and Pierce are going to get that Canadian senior citizen health care and grow new legs when they play in Toronto.

So the Blazers are 2 games up in the loss column on 9th seed Phoenix and they play both Phoenix and Memphis over the next few weeks. They've already lost the tiebreaker to Memphis and Dallas and are currently 1-2 vs Phoenix. They almost lost to the Bucks.
If this happens, reilo should ban himself.
I should ban myself because the team I rooted for is gonna win anywhere from 10-15 games more than I predicted before the season began?The Blazers are really gonna tank out of the playoffs and lose their pick anyway, aren't they? They were #1 in the West 1/3 into the season, how is this possible?

...yo damn, son. nice.
Kurt Helin @basketballtalkSo Mami's most consistent player might not play tonight. Unfortunately, Indy is crackpoop these days so the Heat's getting that W tonight.
Ray Allen has flu, doubtful to play vs. Pacers Wednesday http://dlvr.it/5FFx5D
"Here's a list of some teams that have had a better offensive rating than Indy since Jan. 1: Sacramento Kings, Milwaukee Bucks, Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers."-Haberstroh
This might be the one game to get the pacers out of their funk and actually playing hard again too. should be interesting to see how both teams go at it.Kurt Helin @basketballtalkSo Mami's most consistent player might not play tonight.

Isaiah Thomas might be out tonight. Who can run that Kings offense?
Malone also said he would give more playing time Wednesday to Royce White, who trying to make a new name for himself after the former Rockets first-round pick never played for Houston due to an anxiety disorder. White played the final 48 seconds against the Bucks and the last 56 two nights earlier versus San Antonio.How can the Knicks top last night? By letting #BeWell beast on them.
"We're going to get Royce in the game prior to the last two minutes of the fourth quarter to give him a real look to see what he can do," Malone said.
It's been a while since I watched ESPN basketball coverage. They really hired Avery Johnson? The guy isn't the most articulate.

When Mark Jackson gets fired, they should put him together with Avery Johnson so we can all have a laugh at their expense.It's been a while since I watched ESPN basketball coverage. They really hired Avery Johnson? The guy isn't the most articulate.Better than having him coach.
The Blazers are really gonna tank out of the playoffs and lose their pick anyway, aren't they? They were #1 in the West 1/3 into the season, how is this possible?november and december: easy schedule, no injuries, and a lot of close games that tilted their way. aldridge breaking down and then going out completely disrupted the flow of the offense, though the defense and bench have definitely improved as the season has gone on.
DWill is on pace to have his own flu game here, but our bench is depleted as fuck.
Need Teletovic or someone to get hot. This is one of those games where I really miss Bropez.

Well Teletovic is balling but our offense right now is just him and DWill. No one can stop Big Al.
Livingston in foul trouble is also causing big problems.
