Wow.. If D12 continues to play this bad, they might trade him before the deadline.

These updates just in....

RT @SpearsNBAYahoo: Lawyer Burt Boltuch scheduled presser in
Oakland Wed regarding ex-Warriors employee's sexual
harassment lawsuit vs Monta Ellis & Warriors.

RT @SpearsNBAYahoo: Boltuch accuses Ellis of sending "dozens
of pictures" of "flagrant sexual contact" to an
then-Warriors female employee from Nov. '10-Jan.'11

Maybe this was why a Iggy for Monta deal didn't happen :roll:

Not only is the yearly pay fair, it's only 2 years and the 2nd is a team option? Great deal.

Nets just lost Brook for half the season, then traded for Okur. Without a dwight trade I'm not necessarily seeing that squad in the playoffs.

Looking at their roster, it's hard to imagine them scoring 80 points a night. Deron won't be able to carry the load all season. There is nobody there to help take the load off.

May have already been posted, but the Sixers appear to be 'watchable'.

That was a good read.

That intro commercial was epic.

Good gawd, that commercial gave me chills down my spine. Unbelievable!!!! I gotta say, the NBA''s promotional videos are the best in the business.

Nope. Per rotoworld also:

Lou Williams (hamstring) returned to practice on Friday.
Williams sat out on Thursday with a hamstring injury but his absence was never expected to be a lengthy one.

Not sure why they messed that up, but clearly they did.

What an ugly half from the Clippers and Warriors. The fact that the best players have been Biedrins and Jordan says it all. Ellis is very talented but really would not be the #1 option on any good team. And I'm not so sure the Clippers can be so great with what they currently have. Paul is one of the best point guards of all-time and he played like a SG. Get the ball in his hands. Billups, Williams, and Foye? And Bledsoe also who didn't even play. PG overload. And Gomes and Cook as your backup bigs? Wow. Keep Billups or Williams as the 6th man, no need for the rest. Get a real SG and backup PF/C.

watching the Warriors/Bulls game, Bulls are having a hard time keeping up with the Warriors...if only Iguodala was traded to Warriors, they would be even more of a complete team than now.

Marshon Brooks filling it up tonight. He moves exactly like Kobe Bryant. Their mannerisms are identical. If only Marshon was 1/2 the athlete Kobe was.

Norris Cole could really be Miami's missing piece :/

Not gonna like, wouldn't mind the 76er throwing Ostertag an offer if he can still play. Big, defensive, and tough. He'd probably just sit on the bench most of the time, but we could probably use him (along with Battie) down the line.
