Thank you, Dahntay.
Just wondering, do you think this was a dirty play?

I don't care if it was a dirty play.  It's the kind of thing I might do intentionally if I were a basketball player, though.

I think Kobe/Laker fans are not willing to give Dahntay Jones the benefit of the doubt because of this 2009 play:

So who is scared of the Knicks?

No one would be scared of the Heat with Bosh injured and LeBron hobbled.

The Knicks looked horrible before Chandler went out

They haven't loked good for a while. If we weren't so epically terrible the first half of this year (like last year) the division wouldn't be a contest.

Everyone always gets so giddy about these teams to stsrt the season. Did anyone watch just about everything fall perfectly for them then including that 3 point shot.

This is what I find amazing sometimes. People refuse to beliece that the knicks were no where near as good as they were playing and the celtics were no where near as bad as they were playing. Eventually things would even up and looks like by the end of the season they finally will

Most Kobe fans(and Kobe) think it was, but i don't see a guy in a split of a second make a decision to put his leg under his opponent leg.

Doesn't look that bad.  What's he supposed to do?  Give him space and take his chances?

I don't think that was intentional. Kobe himself could be really enraged about how things turned out that way, but I don't know.
I guess I will just say it was an unlucky moment.

Im assuming that when you're defending kobe, you would stop him at all costs.
p.s. i think kobe is just angry that he missed the game winner, and now he's whining

I don't think many casual fans know/care about Raymond Felton returning to Portland. I don't even think Portland fans care all that much about Felton returning.

What other big returns have I missed out on recently? DJ White to Charlotte was underwhelming lol.

I doubt the NBA expected big viewership for the return of Jeff Green to OKC either.

Dwight to Orlando?
Carmelo to Denver?
Green to OKC was medium-sized

Mike James looks old. Not moving well. Slow laterally and doesn't change directions well.

His NBA days should be over.

I really like this lineup for San Antonio

PG - Manu Ginobili
SG - Danny Green
SF - Kawhi Leonard
PF - Tiago Splitter
C  - Tim Duncan

So much size and length.

San Antonio is a disgustingly good team.
