At least the dubs-clips game is a good one. lolgriffin

 

[Del Rio]

The LAC-GS game made up for things a bit admittedly. It was an intense, playoff atmosphere type of game with a few ejections. That'd be a fun, competitive (and realistic, the way both teams are currently playing) first round playoff series.

James Harden: 2-9 from the field for 27 points hahaha I am in love with the line.

>Lin ahead of guards like Westbrook and Lillard in ASG voting
>Kobe leading all guards in ASG voting

The All-Star Game as it's run right now is an absolute joke.

I reckon the coaches should get to pick the top 6-7 players or so and have the fans vote on the rest

Kemba Walker / Al Jefferson better get in.

Kemba Walker / Al Jefferson better get in.

Absolutely no way Jefferson deserves it imo as there have been several centers in the east that haven't been hurt and have been superb (Horford, Hibbert, DRUMMOND, Vucevic, even Hawes honestly). Kemba Walker though has been having a really great season despite his shooting percentage being pretty rough at points. He's had flashes of brilliance (25/10/9 on 10/22 shooting against Milwaukee, 34/3/7 on 12/17 shooting against Detroit) and he totally deserves an all-star berth.

Speaking of young guys becoming great, Andre Drummond is an animal. And he's 20 years old.

Best center in the NBA in a matter of just a couple years? I honestly think so.

 

[Del Rio]

Al Horford likely out the rest of the season with a torn pectoral. Damn he and Millsap were shaping into an elite frontcourt duo

Wasn't he sidelined before for that exact injury?

 

[Del Rio]

^That was to his other pectoral

Yeah... Still not convinced that Portland is a championship contender. Lost at home to the LeBron-less Heat. I know Bosh had one of his best performances since his Toronto days, but...

 

[cjrocker]

Bosh is a great player. Deserves a lot more attention than he gets, he especially shines when he has to step it up if Lebron or Wade are out

Bynum to Bulls for Luol Deng + draft picks apparently.

Terrible for the Bulls unless they're using Bynum to shed salary

 

[Shinryu]

Pretty much the reason I would assume, losing Deng is hurtful but he was gonna be a free agent I think from what I read after this year, so he's a rental for the Cavs and not even guaranteed to want to sign with them (I mean, who wants to play for the Cavs willingly, even with their continual lucking out of garnering top 3 picks?). While the Bulks get cap relief, a first rounder and two second rounders with some option to also swap picks. All for cutting a guy the Cavs don't like.

 

[Phadunk]

Bulls are going to have soooo much cap space and picks.


Free Agency here we come.

 

[Del Rio]

yeah this is pretty much a salary dump by the Bulls, but expect a contender looking for an "edge" to take a flier on Bynum after he clears waivers

 

[Stallion]

Hang on, I thought the Cavs were getting picks? If it's the Bulls getting picks then they just robbed the Cavs LOL

 

[Del Rio]

pretty much yeah

 

[destinyunknown]

if they gave away draft picks the cavs are definitely retarded lol

 

[SpaceFlare]

Oh wow, I misread the news. Or maybe it was my disbelief that the Cavs would give away first round picks which made me think it was the Bulls who gave up picks just to be able to clear up cap space.

Either way, Bulls just waived Bynum. To no one's surprise. Good salary dump for the Bulls.

Apparently they offered a 3/30 extension which Deng refused.

 

[Byrne]

now observe as the heat sign bynum and he revitalizes his career and becomes the beast big man he was near the end of his laker days l0l

 

[tennisace]

i'm really glad kris humphries is on the celtics now, since he is probably the most effective member to initiate tank mode on the team :')

 

[Del Rio]

lmfao at DeAndre Jordan... he has the best reactions

 

[SpaceFlare]

Eric Bledsoe needs knee surgery apparently.

 

[biggie]

DEM KNICKS THO
