good thing the nets had to go to double OT to beat the wizards and I'm seeing them tomorrow and they're gonna be dead tired and probably lose to the kings. ugh.

Randy Wittman should have been fired about 7 times already this year. How do you blow an 8 point lead with 1:30 left in OT?

[Ravens1991]

Reports are John Wall liked him. That's why they brought him back. I also don't think Ted Leonis wants to take on another coaches contract along with egittmans deal Judging how cheap he is. I didn't see the game but it looks like Beal tore it up. I'm glad he finally is showing his talent this month. Granted its only 3 games but with how bad he was in December it is real encouraging. Okafor and Nene have been playing like they wanna get traded so hopefully someone makes a move for them so they can help out cap space wise

[iowatreat54]

Clear path and the interpretation of clear path might be the worst thing in the NBA.

Also, Jimmy Butler > your favorite role player.

[yodapoop]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooosefraba....its only January, its only January, its only January. Hubie Brown really needs to just join an old people home and GTFO TV. Gooooooooosefraba, its only January, its January. AH **** IT! How are u supposed to win a ******* game when u get rebounded by 20. I wouldn't be so ******* pissed off if it was the first time, but this is at least the 4th. Someone blow us out, so we wake the **** up, get some rebounds, or get rid of useless scum **** like Anthony, UD, and Battier. Goooooooooosefraba, we are 22-9.....UGH!

Chris Paul is having an incredible game. Flirting with a triple double.

[yo123]

CP3 was unbelievable in the first half.

D'Antoni has taken an already declining Pau Gasol and made him so much worse by making him a perimeter player.

[BuckeyeDan17]

It's laughable how he uses him.

[SickwithIt1010]

He talks about how he is going to get him in his comfort zones yet he continues to make him a perimeter player. Its obvious he has no desire for him to be on the block so we might as well trade him for someone that actually has the slightest clue of how to play out there.

[Raiderz4Life]

D'Antoni can go die in a ******* fire. Stupid ************ hate the hire more by the day.

[yo123]

RIP Darius Morris' ego

[BuckeyeDan17]

This game is awesome.

[SuperPacker]

Lol, Kobe.

[yo123]

Lol at Kobe chewing on his jersey before hitting that jumper in Barnes' face.

The Clippers have been trash offensively in the fourth, CP3 needs to take over here.

[Brodeur]

Best player in the West.

[yo123]

I refuse to choose between him and Durant. If I say it's CP3 tonight Durant will go off for 40 tomorrow. It's too close.

[nobodyinparticular]

Demarcus freaking Cousins

[SuperPacker]

Nice win for the Clippers, I like how Chris Paul can just choose whether or not he's going to score 30 points.

The Warriors/Clippers game is going to be big tomorrow. If they win in LA after the Clippers just beat the Lakers, it would be a huge statement.

[SickwithIt1010]

I hate David Stern.

Hold mah dick.

[scottyboy]

too bad you guys are going down tonight.

probably not since we're gonna be exhausted. Hopefully that means more of funny players playing like Toko and Teletovic

[bigbluedefense]

So far Amare's comeback is a work in progress. He's awful with his defensive rotations, I can only hope he improves here but that could be wishful thinking.

My primary desire with Stat is to provide scoring off the bench. It's tough to gauge his success here without Felton right now bc he lives and dies with the pick and roll. He's definitely rusty right now, still getting his legs back, so it's hard to judge him just yet.

But more importantly, at least in my eyes, was the big lineup we brought vs the Spurs. I personally felt that the addition of Camby was HUGE for us bc we can go Chandler/Camby in the front court and completely take away any points in the paint with that front court.

And it worked beautifully vs the Spurs. They shot a terrible percentage, and was forced to take a ton of jumpers, and we held them to 82 points (80 something, I think it was 82). The result? A blowout win by 20 vs one of the top 5 teams in the league.

Our offense isn't as effective with the big lineup, but our defense is dramatically better, and having the leverage to play big or small will pay huge dividends in the playoffs. I think when we play teams that can blow past our old guards and attack the basket with athleticism, like the Houston Rockets/LA Clippers/Miami Heats of the world, our big lineup will be more effective than our small lineup.

He's an offensive genius!

To this day, I don't understand the love for D'Antoni. He's a terrible coach.

[SickwithIt1010]

Love re-fractured his right hand.

Players weren't the only people who Nash got paid, D'Antoni, Bryan Colengelo, Vinny Del Negro, Marc Iavaroni, etc
