Bob Ryan seems convinced this is the weakest draft in the NBA in some time. Buy it?

Weakest draft since 2000, there just isn't a lot of talent in this draft. Best value is probably mid 1st round to early 2nd, where we find the role players or talented players with red flags.

Floppers of the year (team): Nets. Brooklyn holds two important distinctions: It is the only franchise to have three players warned for flopping (Reggie Evans, Gerald Wallace and C.J. Watson) and two players fined for a second warning (Evans and Wallace). Honorable mention goes to the Clippers, who had two players warned (Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups) — and many (including Jeff Van Gundy) would argue deserved a third; the Rockets, who had one player warned twice (Omer Asik) and another warned once (Patrick Patterson, now with the Kings); and the Timberwolves, who also had one player warned twice (J.J. Barea) and another warned once (Ricky Rubio).

Flopper of the year (individual): Kevin Martin, Thunder. As noted, five players have been warned twice this season: Asik, Barea, Evans, Wallace and Martin. Of that quintet, none sold his phantom calls quite like Martin, who twice hit the deck in outlandish fashion while following through on jumpers. Both of his infractions made The Point Forward’s top 10 flops below, the only player to place twice on this list.

Flop of the year (individual): Chris Paul, Clippers. Explanation below.

People have been saying it'd be as bad as 2000 but I don't think so, Kenyon was the best player in that class. This year has McLemore who I think is a mini hybrid of T-Mac (when he's attacking the rim) and Ray Allen (ability to catch and shoot long shots). He is ready for NBA.

Noel alone when fully recovered could be a better impact defensive player than KMart ever was.

Are the Rockets and Grizz gonna try to win tonight? Do the Grizz have anything to play for against Utah (HC?)? I think the Rockets' seeding is still up in the air so I suspect they will play hard.

Rockets drop to 8 if they lose.

MEM win and LAC loss = Memphis has home court, but still 5th seed

How about 12 8:00PM start times though?

This should be fun following all these games.

UTA in trouble because Griz need this game.

Grizz need to drop the charade and let Utah win. Keep LA out of the playoffs for gods sake!

Do you get the impression memphis is actually going all out for the win though?
