Now if Chicago can take down Miami that would be awesome.

:nod:

CHI just smoked them.

MIA on an 0-2 run with road games against MIN, DET and INDY

I like how CHI plays without Rose. They play more as a team.

Look out, the East is going to tighten up.

Big game tomorrow night for the Wizards vs MIL. Gotta take care of business. ATL has CLE at home. If the Wizards can keep it up, its going to be fun watching them go neck and neck against ATL and CHI and maybe DET. DET has to go to CHI next.

Memphis didn't have Marc Gasol and Tony Allen. They do not miss Rudy Gay but they could use more outside shooting.

Games like this make me think that Conley may be a hell of a game manager but he's still only a game manager.

Wait -- didn't they have a scorer?

Gone -- poof! Too inefficient! Must be efficient! No more than 10 shots per game per player! Nobody must dominate the ball! The data says! And the data is never wrong! If we could have the computer select every player on the team, we would! Because computers are never wrong! We will have a team, one fine day, of efficient, selfless, fast-processing, pleasure-denying, hyper-focused players! And they will be nice men, too, who call their mothers every morning and night, too!

Gasol's skill on offense would have helped especially vs. Jordan and Griffin.

If this is some sort of defense of Rudy Gay, then let's not ignore the suckitude that is the Toronto Raptors. Your point would have been valid if Gay actually made the Raptors good—simply not the case...at all.

My boy Michael Beasley from Maryland is playing great, sucks that spo doesn't give him more minutes just like in his rookie and second seasons.

Would have been nice if we signed him though.

I don't think Beasley would have been as successful on a less established team. It is good to see him having success. It looks like he is serving a role as a scoring punch off the bench for the Heat. He could probably take a few more minutes from Haslem and Lewis, but they probably want to play him primarily with the second team, which will limit his minutes.

Beasley only would have been successful in a structured winning environment with a good FO. That's basically Miami, the Spurs, and MAYBE OKC.

DeJuan Blair was key to the Mav's W over Portland, he makes less $ than Maynor. We are so blessed to have Ernie Grunfeld constructing our rosters the last 10 years. :evil:

Celtics beating the Knick in NY by 40

Boston fans on their board are loving Crawford at PG.

11 minutes left in the 4th and he has 23 pts 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 0 turnovers in 31 mins :lol:

Speaking of Boston, Jared Sullinger is in the process of proving he's a solid starting big in the NBA - and he has 3 point range. The Knicks are a sad team to watch. The TNT group were saying Oh, it's because Chandler's injured. Sure that hurts, but they stink regardless.

Melo is clearly not a leader of man. Can't pay a guy like that 21M let alone the 23M he gets next year.

Final score 114 - 73 in NY none the less. Boston is now 10-12 and on a 3 game winning steak. I really like their new young coach.

Sat, Dec 21 Boston come to DC. I hope Rondo isn't back so Crawford can start at PG for the home crowd and show them what he could have done for us.

Should be interesting to hear how to crowd receives him. His last game here they were calling his name and he tossed them his jersey. EG haters should get out and get vocal.

Kemba closed-out last night.

Meh. In the 4 games before this one, he averaged just 8.5 points and 5 boards while shooting 10/24. Sacramento lost 3 of those 4, only beating the Jazz.

^And that's BEFORE Rudy Gay steps on the floor. Let's see his numbers after that. LOL

Williams was just getting warmed-up those first few games

Funny that Boston just bitched the Knicks and are playing the Nets tonight. Probably another win.

Kudos to Ainge for dumping KG/Pierce at the right time.
