Hats off the the Knicks! I half expected them to lay down and die after that Bulls beatdown last night. I really feel like a chump now for goofing on their starting lineup. ;D

Yeah, I don't know what you were thinking.   :)

Haha you can hide behind me!

It looks like Blake Griffin has carte blanche to use his forearm and just bull his way through the paint at his discretion. I don't understand it.

Griffin frequently whines that he is hammered everytime he goes strong, he usually deserves it IMHO. He uses his forearms and clobber people (Humphries, Gasol in recent years);

Yeah I get the feeling that he's generally despised league wide.

I love that the T'Wolves are not starting Kevin Martin.

That 1-4 combination of Ricky Rubio, Corey Brewer, Andrew Wiggins and Thaddeus Young is fantastic to watch. So much quickness and athleticism. Great effort defensively. All those long arms playing the passing lanes. Fantastic team defense.

The team has much better balance with K-Mart out of the starting lineup. Those four other guys give Pekovic much more protection defensively. Then Minny has K-Mart and Mo Williams as game-changing scoring threats off the bench. Impressive top 8 guys (Dieng as backup C).

Westbrook hurt his hand. Rushed into locker room.

OKC misses the playoffs. /overreaction.

I think Durant in a suit with one good leg is better than some of the guys OKC have on the court.

I absolutely hate Blake Griffin. For someone so big and athletic, he acts like a baby every little time he gets hit. I wish Adams ould lay his punk ass out.

Yea he also gets hit more than any big in the league. That's gotta take a toll on you.

Hope it's just a minor...
But for a team that's basically built around 2 players... now from a contender into a lottery team...
Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about money, masters worry about light… I just take pictures…

At least we don't have to listen to Steve Kerr anymore.  Greg Anthony isn't that great, but Kerr was horrible, imo.  Also, why has CDR decided to keep with the Osmosis Jones look? ;D.

Adams, Ibaka, Perk, and Blake are thugs, and Chris Paul belongs somewhere on that list as well.  He's a dirty player, and his commercials just flat out SUCK.  PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MAKE THEM STOP.  There should be a rule that once a player gets eliminated from the playoffs, his ads will no longer be run on the TV.  Those commercials were played ad nauseam (no pun intended) during the playoffs last year, and I had almost forgotten about them until I saw one tonight.  Ugh.  Btw, did CP3 get his **** 'stache from the Chris Ford collection?  Ahaha ;D.

Don't like to see Westbrook injured but I'm going to be thoroughly enjoying watching OKC lose game after game. Bring it on. ;D

Also, surely there's got to be a thread criticising Danny for taking Fab Melo over Perry Jones soon?

Why, so that they can get yet another top 5 pick?  Be careful for what you wish for.  It's nice to see Jones at least getting some minutes, and I never did understand the Fab Melo selection.  It was between Wroten and PJ III for me.  At least the latter would have helped athletically.

Ofc the Clippers are going to blow the lead and lose because Doc Rivers is their head coach.
