Dwight with no points so far :o

comahan · 01-08-2012, 06:43 PM

He's been in crazy foul-trouble (Well thats what it looks like, im not watching the game)

MetSox17 · 01-08-2012, 06:47 PM

Cousins is doing work on him and he can't keep up so he fouls him instead. :D

Love myself some healthy Bynum.

Rob S · 01-08-2012, 10:03 PM

Anybody in H-Town know anything about how Lowry is feeling? Nothing is showing up on google news. I was really enjoying watching him.

yo123 · 01-08-2012, 10:52 PM

Hahaha when someone asked Love today why the ball seemed to be moving better he said "because Mike was out." He said he was kidding but he probably wasn't. .

MetSox17 · 01-08-2012, 11:58 PM

Yeahhh, that's one of those truth behind jokes things lol, what an asshole. Minny needs to get rid of Beasley asap. I'd love his offense with the Kings, seeing as how John Salmons and Travis Outlol completely ******* suck on that side of the floor, but it would cancel out the great defense that Salmons plays. Oh well, i guess we'll have to keep putting up with him jacking up five threes a game and missing them all.

yo123 · 01-09-2012, 12:21 AM

I don't think Beasley would be a good fit anywhere but a contender where he has veterans to reign him in and make sure he knows his role. Sacramento would be a disaster imo.

nobodyinparticular · 01-09-2012, 12:27 AM

Why couldn't AK47 sign with Sacramento??? Why???

yo123 · 01-09-2012, 12:31 AM

Because your team automatically goes down 1 trillion coolness points if AK47 is involved. The man has a 12 year old boy's haircut and a world of warcraft tattoo across his entire back. The only thing saving him from being made fun of more for these things is his nickname is badass.

I don't disagree, but him being around veterans telling him what to do all the time and him not being able to do anything about it would just make him depressed and suicidal again.

He's also a 6-9 Russian who probably spends as much time shooting automatic rifles as he does shooting threes.

MetSox17 · 01-09-2012, 12:58 AM

While i am sad that we couldn't get AK47 and his hot wife to come to town, i have been very impressed with Salmons' hustle and defensive ability, i honestly didn't know he had it in him. He probably realized he's staring at the downside of his career and wants to hang on as long as possible. But god has he been an awful shooter this year.

He's practicing today and should be able to play in tomorrow nights game.

soybean · 01-09-2012, 02:03 PM

Kobe is having an MVP type year. I think he got tired of people saying he's old and decling.

I would like to see him cut down on the turn overs thuogh. He's currently 3rd in the league in turnovers only behind Deron Wiliams and Rajon Rondo.

Also, he sucks at shooting threes this year too.

He'd be headed towards the MVP if someone named Lebron never exisited.

SickwithIt1010 · 01-09-2012, 02:08 PM

The wrist doesnt seem to be bothering him on his shot, but it has seemed like hes struggling with his handle. There are times when it seems like the ball just squirts out at some very random times when you wouldnt see it in the past.

This is excellent news. Lowry is a joy to watch and can get Martin going (who is also a joy to watch when that shot is falling).

Between his fingers, his wrist, a new offense, and the NBA's highest usage rate because of such a **** backcourt...turnovers will be a problem all year.

I still think the Lakers should explore a trade with Houston. They want Gasol, Scola isn't a significant downgrade from him (and I'd prefer Scola's contract going forward). Get Dragic and Flynn and/or find a third trade partner.

scottyboy · 01-09-2012, 04:13 PM

D-Will has a **** ton of turnovers because he's doing literally everything himself, and when he passes it, it heads Shelden Williams in his ******* sixhead and goes out of bounds, or kris humphries confuses the ball as another big round bouncy thing such as Kim's ass, and gets scared and drops it.

and before anyone says anything, Hump will then get a rebound from a Jordan Farmar brick and tip it in. because that's literally all he does

Pau is worth more than that, though.

He's really not. Ideally, you use that trade exception and bring a third team in to try and get a starting caliber point guard (Denver, maybe?).

I dunno. He's clearly on the decline and has a fat contract. Would rather move him a year too soon than a year too late.

MetSox17 · 01-09-2012, 04:19 PM

I really don't get why they didn't offer Pau to Houston for Luis Scola and Kevin Martin, since that's what they were willing to give away in the first place for Pau. Kobe/KMart/Scola/Bynum would keep them highly competitive.

Id be way more willing to do that deal. Scola and K Mart for Pau is way better than Scola and Dragic or Flynn.
