If I were in the front office/coaching staff one of my top priorities for the season would be to do a better job working the refs. The treatment that they gave MKG in particular was egregious, we can't let that continue. We need to make sure our guys are getting treated fairly.

That's probably the thing that irritates me the most about him. Both Biz and MKG are good kids that are doing everything you can ask of them to get better, they deserve to be supported and praised for their efforts not get put down at every opportunity.

I mentioned this to him on twitter at some point last year I believe. How he seems to always be negative about them, but always positive about Byron Mullens of all people. He called me a drunkard, haha.

What a damn idiot

The last piece is to pull off a trade of Hendo or Neal + Cody to get a starting 4 and reserve PG. Get that done and we brcome a freaking ROCKETSHIP!

I'm still skippin on air today!!

I took the top 30 perimeter players in the FGA <5ft per game stat. and also free throw attempts. I just did a ratio of FTA/FGA<5ft. Out of those 30 players Lance is 28th in that. He attempted 5 shots inside 5 feet a game and only shot 2.5 FTA. The two players worse than him are Tyreke Evans and Tony Allen. Kevin Durant led the stat with 1.8 FTA per shot inside 5 feet.

The average ratio was .9 FTAs. That would put Lance at 4.5 FTA per game which is a decent step up.

Probably a good pickup. Respect to the Hornets for using there cap space to upgrade talent.

I bet 10 million or more so he won with me (ESPN reports Dallas had 2 years 20 million on the table and he was ready to sign if Houston matched Parsons). The Yankee Oracle (Mr KIA) would have had to select the Hornets logo for his profile favorite NBA team. I thought it would eliminate some confusion (on his part mostly). Liverpooty bet 9 or more so Mr KIA lost that bet. You can see the outcome of his loss in his file signature. I'm not allowed to put MKG in trade packages anymore.

is this true? was that report on reddit true? the same one that i gave only a 0.01% percent of being true? man, i feel like the nets board after carl posted his news.
