Watching how bad Kings and Lakers are tonight, 51-52 at the end of the 3rd, makes me happy for the future pick.-

But sad for basketball?

Ultimately I think the Kings will be okay but overmatched in the West, and that George Hill is just shaking off some preseason rust, having only played 8 minutes in the preseason prior to tonight.  The Lakers will be awful, and give us a reasonable chance to obtain their pick in June.

It's not a good look for profesional basketball. It's like watching some playground basketball. They don't look to be running any plays. Vince Carter looks like the best player on the court when he's playing in this one.

How does Kelly get 12 rebounds tonight for Miami? Did he ever get 12 rebounds for The Celtics? Ever?

Not nearly as good as Jarrod Uthoff, right Saltlover? ;) :laugh:

Divine intervention, perhaps?  Lol, no idea.  Also, Dwayne Bacon was awesome.

The Cavs are looking old and uninterested against The Bulls tonight. This kid Holiday is out playing LeBron tonight and Love just limped off the floor...

I don't wish injury upon anyone, but Love being out possibly in the season opener could sort of mitigate the Celtics likely being without Baynes that game too.

I don't think he's hurt maybe just a little knee tweak!

Love is sitting on the bench so it's not serious....

ROY is going to be a real contest this year. That Mitchell kid is going to score a lot of points this year for the Jazz. He's got 26 tonight.
