[Aaron Brooks]

i wanted us keep him. if this team was going small ball why not have dorsey? he was productive in the limited minutes he got, just like taylor. but w/e he's a 3rd string backup, and we need more big black guys anyway. if morey makes some trades, i hope he gets a defensive big who can log in at least 20min of defense, including shot blocking.

Thanks for the heads up AB. Added Dorsey to my H2h fantasy team. I needed another workhorse after Reggie went down.

WOW Pacers beat Lakers in LA
Big Roy Hibbert just showed Pau can't handle true center

[Aaron Brooks]

Luther Head is starting at Guard for the Kings

[Guy986]

And Carl Landry is the backup PF.


I'm watching the King/Pacer game right now. Landry looks like he's not even into the game. He's obviously very upset over getting benched.


Trade Battier + Taylor for him.

[Guy986]

Garcia + Landry for Battier + Jeffries

Get er done Morey.

And Carl Landry is the backup PF.

late for shoot around
most coaches punish player by benching them if they are starters

[aznkillabeezZz]

Why would you trade for landry when he's unrestricted free agent next season? He can be offered by any team. But he might want to return with us. And we don't have to give up anybody.

[rocketsballin]

is it me, or did i just see cousins leave his coach hanging?

[Teckon]

According to Sam Amick, Rockets are interested in bringing back Landry. They are also interested in Cousin.

The Rockets, who remain engaged and hopeful on the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes front, are on the market for a young power forward and sources say they admire Cousins' talent.

While there is no known progress in the Kings' reported -- and longtime -- pursuit of Rockets point guard Aaron Brooks, sources say Cousins isn't the only Kings big man coveted by the Rockets. Despite signing forward Luis Scola to a five-year, $47 million deal last summer, Houston has significant interest in bringing back free-agent-to-be forward Carl Landry. The fourth-year player was traded to Sacramento in February in the three-team deal that sent Kevin Martin to Houston and Tracy McGrady to New York.

As for Anthony, the Rockets are among the many teams whose options -- and thus, their chances at landing Denver's star small forward -- expand on Dec. 15. That's the first date on which free agents who signed last summer (e.g. Scola for Houston) can be traded.

An around the league thread, and no mention of the Heat!? I would normally say that's a good thing since there's been enough talk about them anyway, but I still have to express my excitement at the expected crowd reaction for tomorrows game when LeBron returns to Cleveland.

On a random note, Blake Griffin is a stud (30/14/5 rounded on 60% the last 6 games), and Westbrook has been absolutely amazing this season - 24/5/8-9 with over 2 steals, and leading the Thunder to three wins without Durant, definite first all-star appearance for him granted he keeps up somewhat comparable play. And Deron Williams, despite him being a Jazz should start to get more MVP buzz, the Jazz are 3rd in the West, with Deron doing nearly 22/4/10 on normal efficient shooting, the PG position this year has been ridiculous, Nash not having lost a step, Paul's ridiculous efficiency, Rondo's assist totals, Rose's integration of the assist game with his lethal scoring, and of course the aforementioned Westbrook and Deron. And that's not even including guys like Wall, Curry, Jennings, and even Felton who've all had impressive seasons thus far as well.

ya i cant wait for cavs vs heat, i hope there's a high quality link to that game, my computer is way better than my 10 year old crt tv. i wanna hear that **** with a good sound system and video. dan gilbert, lebron, the crowd, daaam this **** is gonna be crazy good. hopefully a close game start to finish, with lebron taking the last shot.

and btw, rondo's asts are rediculous this year. only 2 games out of 15 his asts lower than 10, and they were 9 and 7. the basketball gods have possessed this man

[rocketsballin]

u guys are so boring, how can you not say anything about tonights game

[Alex_De_Large]

i say iam glad, want heat to get confidence and beat the lakers in the finals, as i dont think we can beat them and i dont want mavs or spurs to do it either.

[TMACFORMVP]

I fell into the hype they were feeding tonight's game, it was terrible. The only reason I stuck till the end was because I was truthfully waiting for something to happen with the crowd. Other than that, the random chants meant nothing in a blowout of a game, and LeBron absolutely murdered the Cavs. Worst of all, it looked like the Cavs players weren't even trying, horrible on both ends of the floor. Huge waste of time..

[rocketsballin]

ya that was boring, tnt muting the crowd is a bad move. i didnt watch much, up until the 6-7 minute of the 2nd quarter i slowly stopped watching, but if the commentators didnt talk much and put the crowd on i would've watched till the 3rd quarter. good thing is i got lebron on one of my teams

[Guy986]

KG ballin like its 05.

20 points/17 rebounds/6 assists/2steals/1blocks tonight with amazing efficiency as well.
