Tobias Harris continues to make the Bucks look stupid.

That game had to have set some kind of record. Three players grabbing 19+ rebounds in the same game? That's nuts. Henson, Harris, and Vucevic were all on the top of their games.

Also so much for Andre Drummond being "raw". He scored 29 points on 10/11 shooting today as well.

He's still raw offensively. He just happens to have great hands and a quick vertical jump so he can catch anything around the rim and finish without much hesitation whether it's a bounce pass, alley oop, or offensive rebound.

That was one of the dumbest trades this season. The Bucks organization is doomed in mediocrity. I never understood why they didn't play Harris much or even attempt to run some offense through him when they had him. It's not like he didn't show his potential during his brief minutes. Now they are doing the same thing to Henson even though he finally got the chance to play today because Sanders was hurt.

Yeah, I was going to post about how crazy a good game Henson was having and then I saw that damn near everybody was having career game and then managed to do something only a fraction of the RealGM GB can do: Put numbers in context.

Still some impressive stuff though, good for Henson.

Too bad the Bucks blew it and now we are in real danger of not getting out of the cellar.

I think we can land Henson for the Portland pick still, Hammond is just that stupid.

How sick to your stomach would you be if you're a Bucks fan knowing you could have had a frontline of Larry Sanders, Jon Henson, Tobias Harris going forward? Shame for true hoop fans, really, would have been fun to watch.

I think the Bobcats also look kind of stupid.

Ricky Davis, anyone?

We need to start thinking about the players who'll provide us with the lolz, if Mully doesn't stay.

No, but I'll take my chances with Lance Stephenson.

something tells me the late 90s hornets had some great stories

"[I could] go out hard the night before, then come out the next day and give you 40," Davis says. "You know why? I came in with Anthony Mason, Derrick Coleman, Eddie Jones. [They would tell rookies] 'You put the bags up. You better have the condoms. You better meet us.' That's what I came into."

Mason and Coleman. yikes. They would be an intimidating duo.

I enjoyed this quote even more. It might be my favorite quote of an NBA player since Monta Ellis's "have it all".

"I don't got a DUI, none of that. I might have got in the drug program. But who ain't did that? But 'Why?' is my question. Why can't I get back in? They don't look at it like, 'You've almost got 10,000 points.' I just want that 10,000 points. I'm about 80 points away from 10,000. Is that normal?"

So Ricky is using these following facts as reasons for him being worthy of an NBA return:

1) he hasn't had a DUI;
2) he isn't the only guy to have been in drug rehab;
3) he's close to scoring 10k career points

Jalen Rose should do a podcast solely dedicated to stories on NBA night life from the 90s.

**** this. so bummed out about all the injuries as of late, would have never thought that Kobe would look so.. human and have an injury as bad as the tear of the Achilles tendon.

we seriously need to cut down on the amount of games. at least make it only 70 games.

Eoghan · Post #357 » by **Eoghan** » Sat Apr 13, 2013 4:08 pm

Dude's just need to play less during the summer, especially old dudes like Kobe.

Post #358 » by **fatlever** » Sat Apr 13, 2013 4:54 pm

i can't believe kobe is out like that. injuries this year are just insane. i hate to see kobe go out, even as someone who never roots for the lakers. why can't it be wade who goes out with a season ending injury?

Noone talking about captain jack getting waived? just after he had that pretty hilarious interview too. Such a strange time to waive a vet on a playoff team. Must have pissed off the wrong person.

typical jack wasnt happy being a role player. he wanted a bigger role on the team. he was never going to win that fight with pop. jack was just looking to play well enough to get another contract extension. thats all he has cared about his last few years.
