Listen you fool, Amare's contract is less attractive than a blood transfusion from Magic Johnson. Nobody is taking that on.

 

[Canuck76]

He's probably gonna end up being benched for davis.

What? Has he not been objectively better than Davis at this point? From what i've seen of Davis he has not been that great not saying he won't get better, but Lin seems like the better option easily.

JR Smith needs to step it up. He's been trash so far. Shooting 20% from 3 is a joke.

did that last sentence not tip you off to the sarcasm

dumbo

wait yall took that shit serious

even when i said otis was robbing us for giving us howard and anderson

o wow you dumbos, all of you

 

[Black Mamba]

Ken Berger
#Nets just announced that Lopez will be in a walking boot as a precaution and will miss three weeks.

Same foot, right? Idiotic to rush him back.

we know you were kidding

I like any jab at Knick players but that joke was mediocre.

 

[masud]

The comedy standard around here drops considerably if the joke’s about the Knicks. Just saying... (And I got the sarcasm Duki)

And Lacrae is alright. That's the kind of shit I would have listened to if I wasn't allowed to play music with cuss words.

 

[Branduil]

They rushed him back for trade value.

 

[Black Mamba]

They rushed him back for trade value.

And now he has none. And might have given him chronic foot problems going forward.

 

[DY_nasty]

Lopez should've just chilled back and sat out. The Nets can still push for Dwight, Brook, and Deron if they play their cards right.

:3

As if you expected the Nets to make rational decisions.

 

[Branduil]

I can't believe Dwight not getting traded might actually happen.

 

[THRILLH0]

From who? There's only a handful of players in the NBA that could step to KG one-on-one and come out ok.

Well if you don't consider coming away with a GBH charge "OK" then I guess you're right.

 

[darkside31337]

I can't believe Dwight not getting traded might actually happen.

Seriously why?

Magic should just go for it this season. They are going to suck anyway after this year unless Dwight stays. Trading for Bynum makes literally no sense what so ever.

Not trading him was the right move all along.

I'm always amazed at how great the production he gets is. It's better than most other rappers I listen to. I listen to a bunch of music, cuss words included, lol. Then again, my iPod jumps from doom metal to Lecrae to Beatles to Howlin' Wolf to Nas. It's all great music to me.

BTW, Rose is looking to keep the Pacers from celebrating tonight. I expect a tough game, especially since Rose got no rest yesterday.

I hear LA has a 2.5 mini-MLE they can offer.

Yep. They have a good chance of getting to the second round against the pretty mediocre East, they match up well with Miami, and Chicago might be a regular season based fraud (I don't think that, but seemingly everyone else does). It's not a great chance, but they've got a chance of going on a run and winning this year.

 

[thekad]

Bucher was talking about Otis riding Dwight to the point where making the playoffs is assured (so, now) and then trading him for Brook, etc. so they get those extra dollars - I mean playoff games. I guess that's out the window now.

Doesn't matter. Drew's off the table now. Nobody says no to the Masked Mamba twice.

Orlando needs to wait Dwight out, the only way I move him is if I can dump Hedo and get picks in next year’s draft. They need to start losing games with young players immediately but Otis is screwed, Dwights teams of choice have no young talent or picks. Remaining "competitive" after Dwight would be a terrible chose for them. Orlando's attendance is gonna fall off cliff the second he leaves, even if they make the playoffs. They might as well get in on the lotto right away. And who knows maybe he stays if they call his bluff.

Can't stop. Won't stop.

Eh-eh eh-eh.

 

[thekad]

The Nets currently have the 5th pick in the lottery and Brook Lopez with no shot of making the playoffs this year even if they get Dwight.

 

[masud]

I thought the nets pick was going to utah? I know they gave up two first rounders in that trade.

 

[thekad]

Last year's pick, Favors, and Golden State's pick.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and a draft pick for Dwight and Hedo

 

[masud]

Last year's pick, Favors, and Golden State's pick.

Oh. Still I don't deal with the nets if you can't move Hedo too.

Knicks' D'Antoni defends decision not to foul Celtics

According to D'Antoni, he said the stat service the Knicks use confirms his belief and he said most coaches agree with him. D'Antoni said the service has tracked games since 1995 and teams who don't foul with 10 seconds left or less and up three, win roughly 93 percent of the games.

Teams who do foul in the same circumstance win 90 percent of the games. D'Antoni said players also prefer to play straight-up defense and not worry about fouling intentionally to extend the game.

I'm 100% in agreement with Pringles here. It just adds too many variables for no reason. Plus if you foul shit like this could happen. Don't trust these refs...

yeah jvg was talking about this at the sloan sports conference

its especially dicier with the liberal way continuation rules are called now, if they get that ball up in the air..

 

[masud]

A couple of cats were laughing at the Knicks yesterday for not fouling. I would have said something then but I didn't feel like arguing. I was still in a dark place, would have probably gotten myself banned.

 

[The M.O.B]

The NBA has eliminated the divisional tiebreaker for this season only, since teams are not playing an equal division schedule.

.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I would never foul up 3. It's one stop, trust your defense.

Well their defense wasn't holding up extremely well but i don't think fouling would have been much better. And even though we were all dissing the knicks, celtics almost completely gave that game away with a decent 10 pt lead or so in the later 4th

That magic team even without Dwight is not going to be Bobcats bad next season. Not sure why you wouldn't want a 7 foot C that can give you 20/11/2 at worst that's only 24 but okay.

Superstars do not just "change their minds" about this sort of thing. They have handlers. At this point its just a matter of whether he would rather be patient and wait until the summer or wants out asap.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I thought Shumpert played it well.

I'll take my chances guarding and not fouling. Why needlessly turn it into a foul shooting contest?
