Yeah yeah yeah, I know, but he's been pretty good this year. Rebounding/defending a lot better and scoring more efficiently. The Best-GAF hate isn't warranted. And not saying he'll make it, but he's played like one.

And look at that, tank still might win out after-all.

What.

Suns are shit.

Nash is the best PG in the NBA.
 
Can't believe Melo is making the all-star game this year, lol. I guess 38% shooting on one of the worst offenses and worst teams in the league is what the voters want to see.
 
Tonight makes me wonder.

What is the worst team in the NBA once you remove their best player?

At first I thought it had to be the Suns, but after seeing the Bobcats get steamrolled by the Nets and Knicks I can't be sure. Orlando wouldn't even be able to function without Dwight. Minnesota without Love is a greek tragedy. We've all seen Milwaukee without Bogut. What do you guys think?
 
So Melo is either serious about sharing the ball, or his injured thumb kept him from shooting tonight.

Guess we'll have to see how Melo plays in the next game. I want to see if the NY Post article about Melo sharing with Stat pans out.

The suns have a nice bunch of role players, but they really can't create for themselves at all.

Milwaukee can at least just let JAX go ham.

Bobcats are almost that bad now so............

But truth be told, it's probably the nets. Now that lopez is injured they're down to just 1 legit NBA starter. If Deron goes down for the season they're going to break all sorts of records.

Wizards without Trevor Booker would be pretty terrible.

Mostly because they're the Wizards though and not because of how good Booker is.

The Wizards, because they started out lowest. Though sadly I don't even know who you'd call their best player and remove... Wall I guess? McGee?

Edit: Booker? The fuck?
 
Portland taking care of business in the first two games of their B2B. Both blowouts and the starters (especially LMA) playing low minutes (< 32 mins) in both games is huge.
 
If you take Wall away from the Wizards, they might actually get a little better.

btw, I feel bad for Kemba (a little. I lost a lot of love for him tonight once I realized that the only thing he's changed in his approach to the game so far has been his flop skills) because he wants to be a point guard sooo bad but he's just not. Every time Silas Jr. has him running sets you can just see his body language and approach to the game change as if he's completely disinterested and taxed by the mere thought of it. He was a better player when he was allowed to go full retard on the court and do as he pleased. He doesn't have the mindset to be a full-time point guard.

btw - how good did Amare look without Melo on the court? so good. I think Chandler and Amare can play together just fine...

Warriors tomorrow on the end of a B2B2B. I'm expecting the Warriors to jump out to a 30 point lead in the 2nd quarter and piss it away with seconds to go again.

I'm expecting a Portland loss simply because it's a game in @GSW.

Amar'e better not make it, then. If NY gets two all stars, and CHI only gets one, then that's fucked up.

Bulls fans (like me) don't care about the all-star game. The goal is to be healthy come playoff time, beat Miami, then beat whoever comes out of the West.
 
There's two teams in the entire league averaging over 100PPG: Denver and Miami.

Denver is also one of the three teams giving 100 a game.

Sac and Charlotte are the other two. Both teams sporting a lolworthy -10 point differential

Trevor Booker plays hard and with a faint idea of how to play basketball.

Automatic best player on the Wizards until Vesely is unleashed.
 
Remember when we all said that Daniel Orton was trash going off of nothing more than his very first summer league game? Good job NBA-Age
The Magic have decided not exercise their team option on Daniel Orton for the 2012-13 season.

Orton will become an unrestricted free agent in July.

"You have to look at the whole body of work and look at where we are," Otis Smith said on Tuesday.

"It's nothing against Daniel. He's done what he's supposed to do. He's gotten himself in good shape. He's worked his tail off. It's nothing against him at all. It's just the way everything fell this year."

"I haven't done anything on the court to prove that I can play or anything, so I understand why they did it," Orton said. "But I don't understand a lot of things, such as why I didn't get a chance maybe to showcase what I have."

"The kid's healthy, so that's not an issue," said Orton's agent, Ara Vartanian. "I just don't know why you would have a player and not give him a chance to show what he can do or even get someone in return who has some value."

The Magic still could re-sign Orton when he becomes a free agent in July.

Orton was eligible to earn $1,182,600 if the Magic had exercised their option for 12-13

So who wants a poor man's Kwame Brown?
 
Still can't believe he got picked over Hassan Whiteside.

Whiteside might have flunked out of Marshall and had been a major cancer, but at least he could get off the bench for his college team and could block shots and had functioning knees.

They both suck so I guess it doesn't matter though.
