But he fouled out, along with Stanley Johnson and Marcus Morris. Will someone please win this?

I don't regret trading Harris, Bosh, and Martin for Drummond in fantasy. That dude got me 50+ fantasy points- I think it's the highest total all season

Detroit, 147-144. The Pistons' starters played a total of 263 minutes. Gasol, Rose, and Butler combined for 107 points.

I don't think I've seen a person play with less urgency than Harden. He must be frustrating for Rockets fans.

Biz had a couple LOL moments in tonights game, but he also had 9 pooint (4-9), 20 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 assists.

As a starter this season (not counting tonight) he is averaging 6.1 points (50%fg), 11.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks. He is also shooting 67.5% from the free throw line on the season.

He's definitely an enigma. In Toronto's 29 games this season, he's had a positive +/- in just nine of them. He's the quintessential long armed hustle big.

There were some classic Lance LOLs last night. Does anyone have gifs of those?

I think part of it is that their injuries are causing him to play more minutes than he should. They don't have the luxury of an offensive big to go to when the situation calls for it and they aren't well equipped for small ball, so they are using Biz most of the game regardless of circumstance or what the other team is doing. There are lots of situations where Biz isn't what you want at all. It is working overall because he is really good at what he does best. Their record with him as a starter is fantastic.

I like Biz as a starter on that team but he is more of a 22-25mpg player even as a starter. When JV returns I think they should continue to start Biz but lower his minutes. I think the way we used Biz as a starter last season when Al was hurt is the perfect way to use him. His +/- and on/off court statistics were fantastic last season before his dreadful return from injury.

Biz did hit another base-line turnaround jumper though. It looked very smooth this time around. Later on JaVale blocked a running hook of his.

The drama in Chicago is getting a bit ridiculous. They are still 15-11 but based on the quotes and coverage coming out lately you'd think they were completely falling apart.

So Whiteside was just chilling at YMCAs in Charlotte while we were giving Jason Maxiell minutes?

If he was chilling in YMCAs in Wisconsin or Indiana Cho would've found him.

Biz has a double double in 17mins

Biz averaging 7.8ppg, 15.2rpg and 2.8bpg in his last 6 games (in only 32.8mpg). Currently considering the creation of a cover version for "I'm Gay for Gilbert Arenas" by recording a new YouTube sensation titled "I'm Bi for Bismack Biyombo".

Noah Vonleh is yet to score 10 points in a game this season despite averaging 15mpg and frequently clocking more than 20 minutes.
