I still have GS winning that one. Hawks just aren't that good.

Now that Ty Lawson is going to be available, does Charlotte have the cap space to sign him? It would be awesome to have Kemba Walker-Jeremy Lin-Ty Lawson on this team.

So apparently Joe Johnson still has some life left in him. 24 - 4 - 5 tonight against CHI on 10-13 FG.

I think we'd be scared to sign him because he could be a distraction. We already have our 1-2 punch at PG. If Lawson signs on somewhere I'm sure he'll want minutes. Otherwise I can see him sitting out until next season and getting a fresh start. Crazy to think many of us would've traded Kemba for Lawson just last season, me not included.

Lawson>Lin. Houston was not a good fit. He'd be incredible for our bench.

Agreed, the chemistry and rotation disruption concern is too much.

Warriors hold on to beat ATL in OT. Curry and Iggy were both out for this game.

Warriors did all they could to try and lose to the Hawks, but it looks like they'll survive OT. Now one game behind Atlanta for 5th.

if he has his head screwed on straight he could be better than kemba too.

last season in denver he averaged 15/9/3 on 44/34/73

season before that was 17/9/3 on 43/35/80

That's terrible.

The fact that Memphis keeps on winning despite losing Gasol and trading Green (for a bunch of questionable players) is amazing. I've been a huge Mike Conley fan for several years, which is amazing considering his college background. Conley is showing everyone right now why he should be considered one of the best PGs in the game. He sacrificed his stats for that team to function and ran that team perfectly for years. Now you see him pick up the scoring when needed. Since Gasol got hurt, he is averaging 19 and 6 on 50% shooting and they are 6-3 in those games.

He also agreed to a really, really fair contract to allow Memphis cap flexibility to retain or bring in additional talent.

I just have to laugh when Curry hits one of those 30 footers. Its just so damn ridiculous.
