The term Sell A Thon was what nailed it for me for sounding so bad.

I'd expect that from a carpet store, not an NBA franchise.

Some of the takes we've had the pleasure to hear directly from this event haven't exactly been faith-restoring-in-humanity level stuff. But, that's what happens given the sports-centric angle we're looking at this from.

Bomani Jones had a bit of a ride with this when he discussed it on his show last night, and it was a bit bothersome for me to listen to, but such is the state of things.

Barnes is an absolute dirtbag.

I think we are a bit blinded that everyone in the story was known as a tool. D-Fish doesn't have the greatest reputation, neither does Barnes, and I don't know much about the wife besides what I've seen from the character of the women on those shows. My reaction is similar to watching a Jerry Springer show. Sad situations but you can't help but watch and be entertained by what a mess the situation is and how they reacted.

Say what you will about Barnes, Derek Fisher has proven over and over he's not a trustworthy person. Not something a "friend" would do.

Derek Fisher is a shinning example of what a NBA head coach and family man he is............

If they really wanted to make a great pitch, they have included this video.

So they're not friends? Who cares. This is not about Fisher. This is about Barnes and his masculine self-image and his need to mark his territory, which territory happens to be a human who might have some thoughts on the matter.

Fisher is a turd but that's not worth mentioning here as he's just a foil for Barnes' impotence.

NOPE. Fish's choice in women simply corroborates his inability to foist the triangle with the woebegone parts brought together by suspenders-and-mescaline enthusiast Phil Jackson.

Jared Cunningham pouring in some stats to get a contract from someone. 21 points in the first half vs. the mighty Philly.

Watching some Warriors vs. Blazers- Bogut really does look a lot slimmer and to be moving better than he has in a long, long time. Only pre-season, but he looks really good out there.

I wish Brandon Rush never had that knee injury. He's nothing more than a 13th man now and that makes me sad.

I wonder if the Portland colour commentator was this great before pot was legalised in Oregon;
(Bogut scores) when he was in Milwaukee he averaged 18-20 points every year!
(Green hits a corner three in a half court set) that's the reason he made second team all-defensive last season. Wait! Sorry! First team!
(Iguodala scores)That's why he was MVP last year. {Other commentator} Ahhh.. of the finals... {colour guy}huh?

Kings really played SA extremely well last night. When you look at the Kings what jumps out at you is they are such a veteran team. I think they end up winning a lot of regular season games and make the playoffs.

Never discount chemistry. Especially when George Karl is runnin' thangs.
