Just get the win and drive the Nets further down the standings.

I had a dream that we traded David Lee's expiring contract and the unprotected Brooklyn pick straight-up for Cousins... 

Massive celebration ensued, but for whatever reasons Cousins struggled and Boston slipped in the standings.   Meanwhile, the Kings for whatever reason decided it best to buy out David Lee.... Lee ended up in Brooklyn, had a resurgence, and the Nets with their newfound depth made the playoffs.   

So it was like, "lol... well Cousins is a bust, but at least we aren't the Kings".

Official Report
James Capers
The son of former NBA official James Capers Sr., James Capers has officiated 1,172 regular season games, 78 Playoff games and five NBA Finals games during his 20-season NBA career. In addition to his NBA experience, Capers has six years of CBA officiating experience, including three CBA Finals and two CBA All-Star Games. I've seen several posts from Lakers fans who swear he hates the Lakers. At least he has that in his favor. In 2012, Capers called game 2 of the ECF and the officiating was terrible in that game. The Heat shot 47 free throws to 29 for the Celtics. Pierce, Dooling and Pietrus all fouled out. There were bad calls and missed calls throughout the game. Lebron James took 24 free throws himself, only 4 less than the entire Celtics team.

He was lead official in the Nets game that resulted in a brawl two seasons before last. Capers gave Doc a T for yelling to Rondo. They let the Nets get away with pushing and shoving and hard fouls the entire first half. The Nets shot 17 free throws to 5 for the Celtics in the first half and 3 of those free throws were on technicals. They did better in the second half after the brawl, but the refs' failure to call the game evenly in the first half led to the fight. Last season, he called the Golden State game and made a terrible call to end the first half on a last second heave. Even the Warriors fans thought it was a terrible call. The calls all went the Warriors way down the stretch and Warriors fans couldn't believe how they were getting the benefit of all the questionable calls. The Celtics are 2-8 in their last 10 games with Capers. The Nets are 4-6 in their last 10 with Capers. He is a homer ref with a home W/L record this season of 7-3.

Kevin Cutler
Kevin Cutler is entering his sixth NBA season after having officiated 276 games in his first five seasons. Cutler owns six years of collegiate officiating experience, including the 2009 NIT and the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Additionally, Cutler worked two NBA D-League Finals as well as the 2008 NBA D-League All-Star Game. Cutler called a game against the Pacers last season and there were a series of terrible calls down the stretch of that game, including an out of bounds call that was obviously wrong and which gave the game to the Pacers. The Celtics are 4-6 over their last 10 with Cutler. The Nets are also 4-6 over their last 10 games with Cutler. His home W/L record this season is 4-4.

David Guthrie
David Guthrie enters his eleventh season after officiating 582 regular season games and 18 playoff games. Prior to joining the NBA, Guthrie was an official in the CBA, NBA D-League and the New York City Pro Am. He participated in the D-League playoffs in 2003, 2004 and 2005 and the D-League championship games in 2004 and 2005. He officiated at the collegiate level in the ACC, SEC, Colonial, Southern, OVC, ASUN, Big South and SWAC conferences and participated in the 2003 and 2004 NCAA tournaments. In the past, Guthrie has been a decent referee, usually letting the teams play rather than over-officiating. The Celtics are 5-5 in their last 10 games with Guthrie while the Nets are 6-4 in their last 10 with Guthrie. His home W/L record is 6-3.

Deandre Jordan only averaging 10 a game is a joke. That dude could easily score 20 a game and shoot close to 60 percent while doing that.

Eh - he doesn't really have good post moves, or any other kind of go-to shot.  Plus any offensive skills he might develop would fairly easy to neutralize by just fouling him instead of letting him get off the shot.

He was dominating last year when Blake was out, and he doesn't need great post moves when he get get positioning 5 feet out from the hoop.

Looking forward to hopefully seeing more progress from David Lee tonight.  He's been fantastic the last two games in limited minutes.

ehm, i ve discussed this a lot with clips fans. many of them think that DJ has no post moves- which is actually true.

But IMO with the incredible athleticism and body that he has, he can score simply by using these, esp. at fast breaks. IMO he is being wasted the way the Clips play now.

I'm just crying about Smaht... I need this win...



will still be sad but a LITTLE less so.

Yeah was probably a bad move for him. With better coaching, he gets his touches around the hoop for 20 plus points. No player can match his combination of size, athleticism and coordination.
