Jesus, what is Daryl doing?

lolololol

Arguably, the 10 all star starters are all wing players. Should be just as boring as in recent years.

Kobe should cede his spot to Zaza.

LMAO!!!

By DY_nasty Go To Posthawaii humidity isn't anywhere near as bad as the southeast US. Florida around certain times of the year is downright hellish

Not in Central Florida. It's always nice and breezy around the Orlando area.

New York City though has its moment...the surrounding waters there aren't exactly nice or clean. Ugh. That smell when humidity is high. :x

By Vlatko Go To Postlmao

Holy fuck I just checked and this is real

lol

clutchfans hyped

Josh Smith on returning to #Rockets: "I'm excited. I feel great. It's a place that I probably should have never left."

lol

The Josh Smith Welcome Thread is reborn

Great move for Houston, back to unconditional hatred of LAC.

Ethan J. Skolnick ✔ @EthanJSkolnick
Updated Heat injury list: Andersen, Dragic, Whiteside out. Deng, Green, Udrih, Wade questionable. McRoberts (!) questionable.

"When Boban shakes our hand it stays shook"

wtf. they actually traded JSmoove?

loooool.

Im sure Rockets fans are excited Josh Smith era 2.0

did you guys know that Josh Smith and Howard played AAU ball together?
because if you didn't, get ready to hear it twelfth times a game.

Dy, how about taking Lance Stephenson back?

10 years since Kobes 81. Still can't believe I got tickets and it's still my 1st and only visit to Staples.

I was in high school and got 4 tickets to game thanks to my parents friend who worked for the Lakers. They were from season ticket holders since they thought it was a boring game to attend like most people expected it to be. And hell I remember no one wanted to go with me. Asked multiple people if they wanted to go for free since I had 2 spare tickets and everyone said no. I even remember 1 family friend saying o it's just the Raptors what's the point?. I've never let him live that down either lol. Anyway my parents ended up getting their friends kids who I didn't even know to go with me and my dad. Never saw those guys again either.

And here's a nice read if hasn't already been posted. Got me all nostalgic remembering how the crowd was going absolutely wild. I remember looking at the scoreboard during the 4th in shock and realizing like everyone else something magical was happening.

all sales final

matt carroll fucked it up for everyone

Stan Van Gundy called out the performance of the Detroit Pistons in their loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Van Gundy called the Pistons' first half effort "deplorable."

"We look like a team that is firmly committed to being mediocre," Van Gundy said.

lol

wish SVG was our coach ;_;

INJURY UPDATE: Andersen (knee), Deng (eye), Dragić (calf), McRoberts (knee), Wade (shoulder) & Whiteside (oblique) are all out tonight.

Jason Lieser ‏@JasonLieser 4m4 minutes ago
Luol Deng says he's not sure yet whether he sustained permanent eye damage. Needs to see a doctor again.

Jason Lieser ‏@JasonLieser 5m5 minutes ago
Luol Deng is unable to look up or down with his injured R eye. Team considered sending him back to Miami.

Jason Lieser ‏@JasonLieser 2m2 minutes ago
Amid concerns, Deng said he hopes it's not like the eye injury that sidelined Stoudemire for 8 weeks in '08-09.

Jason Lieser ‏@JasonLieser 34s34 seconds ago
It affects everything he does, not just in basketball. Hurts opening his eye in the morning when he wakes up.

8 players available tonight and Deng might have permanent damage in his right eye. Yikes. hoping there's no permanent damage.

we should just rest the starters tonight

By Vlatko Go To Postlmao

I can't believe this is real.

Steve Kerr back tonight.

By Avon Randolph Barksdale Go To PostSteve Kerr back tonight.

yay

So Luke is available as a coach now ehh?

By Fenderputty Go To PostSo Luke is available as a coach now ehh?

I'd be down to see if Luke is the real deal. I think Byron likely gets one more season to iron things out tho.

Dat efficiency!

I think Curry has a shot to break this though if 30 of his 46 shots are 3's and he makes like 18-20 of them.

Is there anyone here who actually hasn't seen this game in its entirety yet?

LMAO Houston, are you freaking kidding me? What an embarrassent.

By DY_nasty Go To Postits really not bad at all. not especially pricey and the speeds are actually surprisingly good too. if you're gaming just expect moderate lag with anyone that isn't on the island though. i actually had to quit league of legends altogether since i've been here. their server issues + the natural latency was a headache i couldn't live with

I was going to ask if high speed services were expensive (25 to 100 Mbps), but even continental U.S. customers gets fucked on that end.

pepe sow

the fact that i even remember that name...

So Houston is getting back Josh Smith but still keeping their toxic ass lineup, cool. Good luck going forward.

smoove was the missing piece tbh

i expect a win streak

By Smokey Go To Postsmoove was the missing piece tbh

Bring back Mike Brown?

Wtf? Number one in the east aint enough

Lebron to coach the team now

GM Lebron man

Lmao.

Today is crazy.

"It's about my team," he said. "It's about my guys and I don't like it. I don't like it at all. My guys are out there fighting for the Cavaliers and doing the best job they can in a tough NBA – very tough – especially because this is a team that night after night has a target on its back. They go out there and they fight and they play and they deal with adversity like we've had to deal with all year. We are far from perfect and we are still not at our best, but it's not for lack of effort."

ain't even see it coming

Lebron bout to become the first player-coach in modern NBA.

Some might say that it's already the case...

Who was the dude saying PG was better than Durant?

Cuz he's crashed again - down to 41% shooting - and under 40% shooting over his last 26 games or so.

As I said, wait till the guy stays MVP caliber for an entire season before annointing him the 2nd best SF in the league (that title probably goes to Kawhi now though anyway)


Edit: Holy fuck, really? Lebron is fucking Michael Corleone I swear. Spo probably gets fired in or after that first season if Pat Riley's Don self wasn't sitting in that Executive seat.

cmon riley fire spo

fuck lebron man lol
