I'd rather everyone sit out. Especially Rubio and Shved

I'd rather no one play as well.

Just think. If we were told we'd have a better record 39 games in than the Nash-Bryant-Gasol-Howard Lakers before the season started I'd be we'd be overjoyed. So there's that... :-?

You guys are nuts, I want some representation and I want these guys to be able to show their skills on a team with talent.

Looks like Nuggets are shopping Mozgov. I know it's tough to do right now with our injury status, but I'd consider trading DC for him. Derrick has been playing better, and we need an upgrade at C.

Korver is en fuego w/ 24 2nd half pts on 8 treys vs the celts

speaking of the celts, they need to chill out on the SG monopoly: Bradley, Barbosa, Lee and Terry and now they're going after Redick? Any of those guys is an instant starter for us.

My first post in awhile...haven't been able to deal with these loses and injuries positively.

Pelicans - Name is lame. Logo and colors are cool. The birds head needs the wings in the floer-de-lee (spelling), it looks really cue-ball-ish without them. And without the throat sack the bird sort of looks like a vulture (which I think looks much more fierce).

All Stars - I think part of the reason Aldridge made it over Curry is that he was snubbed last year, and is still doing great on a team that fights in every game and is sniffing playoffs. I would've liked Pek to get some consideration, but it's tough when C is a dying breed and any PF can now take the spot.

Rookie Challange - I'd like the exposure of all our youngin's in it. I think if Malcolm Lee hadn't been hurt he might've even been considered. With the way this seasons is going, I'd fully expect an injury if the Wolves have 3 or more players in the game. Love can't defend his 3 point championship, just throw another "bummer" on the disappointment pile.

Royce White - This kid strikes me as the kind of person who has had excuses made for them their entire life, gradually building up an enormous sense of entitlement. The kind of kid who has been able to get away with doing and saying anything, because the moment someone calls him out or seeks repercussions for his actions...he has advocates crying foul going "but...but...but...he has anxiety!!!". I don't want to be insensitive, but this actually happens often. People do not fully understand a mental issue or disability, and blame every negative thing associated with the person on the disease, absolving that person of any punishment, accountability, or guilt.

The Rockets are one big fish that is prepared to hold him fully accountable, and how he chooses to respond speaks to how he's been treated all his life.

Kahn must've been talking to the Celtics

“@WojYahooNBA: Sources close to Rajon Rondo tells Y! Sports that Celtics are still waiting on examination concerning a possible ACL injury.”

Rubio, Rose and now Rondo. All R's, all PG's... Luke you're next.

Seriously though, it's a damn shame. I love watching Rondo play and tracking his crazy stats, hopefully he's back healthy next season.

Those have been very good PGs though, I think Luke is safe.

What the hell..... Karl Malone missed 10 games, 10 GAMES in his first 18 years in the NBA

That's a max player if there ever was one there.

Pek vs Malone in the post=Image

I believe Malone was more dominant than Lebron because he was straight up unstoppable down low and you had to guard him tight because he would definately light you up with that jumpshot, there is a reason he went to the line so god damn much.
