Watching this Det-Memphis game, the Pistons are an absolute trainwreck this season.. geez

Assembling that roster was an epic fail by their front office (including hiring Mo Cheeks).

Isiah Thomas dominated Kyrie. Kings won by 40+

Nick Young had 6 assists and got to the foul line 10 times last night.

Based on his career rates it would take him 95 minutes to get that many FTA and 135 to get that many assists. He is generating more FTAs that typical this year. His assists are very slightly up from career norms.

Rubio hasn't reached double figures in points or assists in the last 5 games. His TS on the season is 46%. He really isn't comparable to Wall at all.

The Nuggets have been winning consistently with a small ball lineup of Robinson, Lawson, and Foye to close out games.

Jameer Nelson has been fined $15,000[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Piw9UAsyP4o[/youtube]
Is it good idea to fine for something like this? What say you?

That's like community college sized. I pity the 6'6 guys trying to defend Nate Robinson and Ty Lawson.

Totally fine to fine for that. You're marketing explicitly to kids' parents.

And for Jameer totally worth the $15k.

How awful has Rubio been the past few games? He's shooting a Deshawn Stevenson-like 34% from the field this season.

And now he's cryong about losing passion for the game—it's because you suck bro. LOL at whoever it was trying to claim that Rubio was better than Wall.

That whole T-Wolves situation is starting to smell toxic. Kirilenko walks away from $10M guaranteed. DWill is a bust. Love has been calling people out. And now Rubio is questioning his own love of the game. All while their payroll has gone up but their spot in the standings hasn't.

Has there been any talk about Rubio going back to Europe? If so, and Love also walks in 2015, they'll be left with an overpaid Pekovic and little else.

Yeah it looks like that team is ready to be blown up.

David Kahn took a massive steaming 'upper decker' on that franchise

The 2 Kelly's did have career days in that same game - Kelly Olynyk and Ryan Kelly (wearing kelly green) - probably going against each other a lot of the time.
