Around the NBA part 2

[Bill Bradley]

Millsap is probably the best and most realistic target for Houston.

Aldridge isn't leaving Portland, damnit... seriously though, I think if they have a good draft and sell a good offseason plan he will stay. There is a nice core group out here and it's a great city. The Blazers just need some depth.

But

Lillard
Batum
Aldridge
HIckson
News Anchor Wesley Matthews

is nothing to sneeze at, though HIckson will be tough to keep.

Haha yeah probably right but it really depends on how the Blazers fare the next couple of years. I don't know of Aldridge will stick around on a loser.

Do you feel that heat? Yeah? It's Portland comin' up behind Houston's tuckus

The team is really coming together lately. A few of the role players are starting to, well, suck less and Lillard showing he'll be a star.

Porty just lost two franchise players to injury and still rockin' in the midrange. We got this guy, damnit!

Plus, we corner the market on mediocre Spanish players

In other discussions...Fantasy guys...what the hell do I do with Roy Hibbert. He's been awful - not very good all season and I already have Nene, Vucevic and Asik to bolster my numbers. I legitimately contemplated dropping Hibbert for Blatche after Humphries went down holding his ankle.

You two are straight up clowns.

Again, you can't just look at boxscores to know what happened in a game- and you can at least read a recap before posting about it. Lin had a crappy first half and had his head busted open that required stitches and limited his time. But he came back in the fourth with 8 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals which helped seal the victory.

Have you two clowns noticed that the Rockets have been playing like one of the best teams in the league for more than the past month, and this is directly correlated with Lin's improved play and McHale's proper use of Harden and Lin? Of course not, because you just look at point totals in the boxscore.

I don't post here after Lin has a good game. I only post to point out your stupidity, which is unfortunately much too often.

About to jump on a plane so hopefully someone else can discuss your idiotic points of view with you while I'm away.

So your new motto is "Box scores lie"? And you're calling other people "clowns"? LOL.

Now you're claiming that an 8/7 game with 6 TOs is a "good" game for Lin and that he "contributed" to the win? And you dare use the word "stupidity"? Check out Toney Douglas' stats sheet and come back to me with that one. But I forgot - "Box scores lie" - you need to read the recap. LOL. And one more "lying" stat - Lin was (-4) in w game that the Rockets won by 14.

What happened in NO? Did he also "bust his head"?

But this is all blasphemous, we all know Jeremy Lin is on track to be the league MVP, based on a stretch of 5 decent games. Hey, if we ignore all the bad games, the upward trajectory is still there.

You have no shame do you?

He completely ignored your post. I wonder why. ROFL this is becoming really embarrasing.

Here are the excuses for Lin so far this season:
The referres
His knee is not 100% (magically though the following week when he has a good one it is)
The coach is not using him right (then said coach goes on hiatus which leads to)
The interim coach is not using him right
He got stitches
The boxscores lie

I don't think i forgot any others. Hahahah this is hilarious.

What does your team look like? Is this a keeper league?

Get rid of him. I am sure you can pawn him off to someone who just thinks of names or potential.

Don't drop him though. Trade him. Unless there is a stud on waivers. Maybe even drop him for Granger if you can't get a good deal and if Granger is on the waiver wire.

[Knicker23]

What does CP3 do if Clippers were to get bounced in first round, or second? I still think he wants to play with Melo.

[21shumpshumpst]

What does CP3 do if Clippers were to get bounced in first round, or second? Are they expecting him to resign before trade deadline this year?

I don't think he is going anywhere. But I will make a bold prediction that they don't beat SA or OKC. I just don't see them as a team that is as good as their record. Their winning streak came against a bunch of nobodies.

I mean you play the games in your schedule but at the same time if my go to guys other than Cp3 are Griffin and Crawful I don't feel good about it.

[fdr2012]

That's why I love you guys...the script never changes.

I can't literally predict who will post depending what statline Lin puts up.

But anyways, I miss David Lee, that damn Walsh could have gotten us more for that guy.

For every good game, there's a bad game. The bottom line is that the averages are not changing.

He's a 12/6 guy right now and he'll be a 12/6 guy at the end of the season, but for some reason people talk about him as if he was a 20/10 guy.

Lin is a nice guy, but some people become completely irrational when his name comes up. I hopes it dies down like it did with Gallo.

They are not getting bounced in the first round.

I think Paul would love to come and play for the Knicks. Everybody knows it was his #1 option last summer. However, considering that we can't do a S&T next season, how is that going to happen?

[Knicker23]

Yeah I wouldn't pick Clippers over OKC or SA, Heat. Memphis maybe. Cp3 is great, and so is their bench... But CP3 can't do it all, like last night, against the good teams and expect the W. Griffin has shown he's a bit more than just a dunker, but I'm not real confident in him as a 'second guy' on a championship team, to say the least... And guys like Matt Barnes and Turiaf etc. are nice during the season, but don't see them being as big a factors in playoffs when stuff slows down...

Spurs have Tony Timmy Manu and experience... OKC has KD Westbrook and Ibaka.... Miami James Bosh Wade... Clippers have Cp3 and then there's a little bit of a drop off... They're built nicely for season, and with the star a PG it works well... but don't see it translating in playoffs as much.

I have more faith in JR than Crawful all day everyday. Griffin is an awful free throw shooter for the PF position. 63% for the season. I am juts going to hack him to my little heart's content in crunch situations or let him shoot the jumper.

Also, call me a homer but give me Melo with the game on the line 100 times out of 100 instead of CP3.

I just don't see the Clipps as championship contenders.

I agree, they won't be folding in the first round, the teams most likely to be 5-8 won't be that good.

I'm disappointed in Minny and Portland, I thought they would be better even though they are battling injuries.

No you don't. If anyone gets out of hand you know what to do. Here you go. don't ban me

[Thugger HBC]

I don't use one of those.



Retractable, with one quick flick, made to submit.

Kevin Love has refractured his right hand and will be examined in New York later this week, the Timberwolves announce.

it really never ended. they had to fire someone here.

Remember when we all thought this was a possibility?

Lin with 14/5 at the half tonight. He's hitting some outside shots tonight too.
