Wiretaps headline says....."Dwight Howard considering wearing knee pads"

I'd like to add, "for Harden" to the end of that line.

Jeremy and Chandler are so happy to be out of there.

Love getting lit up by Robin Lopez :lol:

Robin Lopez is actually better than his brother IMO........his brother is gifted offensively, but not as tough , doesn't rebound as well, and is a crappy defender. Robin is better on offense than he used to be, and he does those other things that Brook doesn't. And is way cheaper. He'd be an awesome backup to Bogut.

I don't know about you guys, but it makes me feel pretty good after we beat Portland at home to see them whup the Cavs by close to 20.

Why? Bron was disinterested the whole game. Kyrie and Dion were just dribbling and chucking. That Cavs team is nothing what they will be down the road.

I still like it. Varejao and Thompson, who were both looking pretty good in previous games, got owned by Lopez and the Blazer backcourt did a number on Irving and Waiters (6-28 combined) which indicates to me that Portland is a pretty good team, in spite of their lost to us. To me, that's encouraging.

West is 11-3 against the East, with two of those losses by OKC.

JR Smith smacks Glen Rice Jr. in the nads. Must have been thinking he's back playing streetball again. This is the NBAA dude and they got refs, and video cameras. lol.

Suspended for 1 game. Something more to add to JR's resume.

Harden actually looks really good as a pg....he should stick to that.

I remember watching him in his rookie year and thinking he'd be a league leader in scoring by year 3 or 4. Life just slowed hus body right down. Good luck to him. Doubt he plays in the NBA but an overseas pro league might work out for him.

Depends on whether he has managed to get the illness under control. He tried when Nellie gave him a shot over here, but wasn't able to. Tough playing basketball with a tube and plastic bag hanging out your gut.

As I get older, I keep reading things incorrectly, but I'm happy to find that I often misread things in an amusing way. My most recent example: I saw the wiretap headline "Ben McLemore Hires Rich Paul As Agent", and read it as, "Ben McLemore Hires Cliff Paul As Agent"

EDIT: for another NBA reference, a while ago I drove past a place advertising an Early Bird Breakfast, but read it as a Larry Bird Breakfast

That's pretty sad CPH but I know the feeling.

I can't handle Jackson on ESPN. Every time he churns out one of his stupid sayings as they go to the break, I die a little on the inside

Terrence Jones and Patrick Beverley out for tonights game.

Really good news for us. I was worried about tonight's game. Beverly gives Steph fits and I'm not sure how Draymond would do against Jones who;s be playing very well as of late (Lee actually owned him).
