Im going out tonight so I cant watch but I would really love to see that Cavs-Raps game. That should be top notch

Oladipo with 30/14/9.. and he made a bunch of clutch plays down the stretch. The kid is a stud

Orlando is probably one of the few teams who wouldn't swap SGs with us going forward

Love watching Ves play for the Nuggets - in a perverse thank goodness that non basketball player doesn't 'play' for us anymore.

Ah, the familiar hiding on the other side of the court from the ball handler, holding the ball at the elbow waiting to hand the ball off while precious seconds tick off the shot clock, setting phantom picks, looking like he is playing defense while mostly the game is passing him by.

As I finished typing that, the Janchise throws up a three foot turn around air ball.

Now I'm watching the Lakers game and crying in my milk. Marshall is really good. Great vision. Puts the ball where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. Great passer.

Career night for Mack playing starter minutes tonight. Still don't like his game, perhaps it was just Wizard stink.

Marshall Brooks lands and LA and off to a good start.

I posted a lot about him in the 2011 draft. Was kind of surprised he hadn't done anything of notice to date but I like him landing in LA. I hope Kobe gets a hold this this young man and teaches him up.

Love the way LA just rolled in so many player to gives them a second look. When you are rebuilding, its a numbers game. Just keep rolling in basketball players.

You never know what you might find.

PHX has Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe so he wasn't going to find court time there but man, we could have used him.

Never count Orl out. They have some talent there. 3 draft picks I wish we had. VO, Nikola and T Harris. And they have a real good SG. Just a matter of time before they start putting it together.

Another quality draft pick or two and they should be rolling. But like every other team, if they want to be really good, they have to find that top level star.

Yeah. He looked good.

On the season Josh Smith is shooting 22.6% from 3 on 3.5 attempts per game. He is taking suck to a whole new level.

Shabazz Muhammad played pretty well last night. I don't know why Minnesota doesn't play him and Dieng. I think they had a good draft.

Anyone see Cousins lose his cool?

Well that's a terrible call so yeah.

Ya think? He put his forearm into the midsection of a guy in the air. I feel like that gets called whenever it's seen.

AFM · Post #816 » by **AFM** » Wed Feb 26, 2014 3:59 pm

I dunno, looks like he barely grazed him. Maybe I'm tired of seeing Howard getting calls every time he gets the ball

Kanyewest · Post #817 » by **Kanyewest** » Wed Feb 26, 2014 3:59 pm

The first technical was bad. But Cousins should have known to stay away at that point.

A) That's a call that gets made all the time.

B) It SHOULD be called all the time. That forearm was enough to stop Dwight Howard's forward motion. It's a foul.

C) It wasn't clear what got him the 1st tech. He seemed irate and indignant, but didn't seem to be saying anything. He was looking at the scoreboard for a replay. Once he got that first tech, he really lost it.

This, by the way, would be a benefit of my "get the refs off the floor" idea. If the game-managers on the floor weren't the guys making the call, there'd be no one to yell at and there's probably no incident. Cousins could howl at the press box or the guys watching the HD monitors back in NYC, but there'd be no target. He'd probably just look for the replay, call the monitor jockeys a bunch of MFers and get back to work.

I think your idea would be extremely expensive and difficult to execute. How many different cameras would you need on the floor to officiate the game properly? 10? 20? What happens in the event they fail? I don't see how the flow of the game wouldn't be ruined by the delay inevitable delay between when a foul is seen and when it's called on floor.

Too bad Dwight can`t make his free-throws. If Dwight shot 70% he would average close to 30ppg.
