2011-2012 NBA Season

[17 Seconds]

Maybe he changed his mind after doing the math.

 

part of the conspiracy: wade/lebron/bosh were all going to take paycuts to allow howard to get paid

[Banedon]

So apparently this is a year old, but first time I've seen it, so I'll share.

The Bucks are playing really well right now. So that's nice.

 

Plus you can get tickets off stubhub to see them for under $10-15 for any oponent except the Bulls and Knicks (seriously, Knicks?).

Bill Simmons saying that he heard Vinny Del Negro is on really really thin ice.

Ben Gordon has 42 points on 17 shots tonight...through three quarters.

[bukie]

Gordon finished 9-9 on three pointers, a feat tying an NBA record that had been achieved twice before. Once by Latrell Sprewell, and once by...Ben Gordon.

 

EDIT: Unfortunately, he also blew the game for them, fouling on a layup up 3 with 10 seconds to play. Layup went in for an and-1, and the free throw was missed and putback by Javale McGee and Denver won by 1.

[ELCABALLO45]

Drew Gooden welcome back to earth.

VDN likely has very little time left as the Clippers coach after losing to NO tonight. The Clippers have won only 7 of their last 19 games, and are inching closer to 9th place in the West (they are up 1.5 games over Utah). How a team with Paul, Griffin, Jordan, Williams, Young and Martin could possibly miss the playoffs is unfathomable to me.

Never underestimate the ability of Vinny Del Negro.

[Ryne Ween]

I think Blake Griffin is the most overrated player in basketball.

I think it's Chris Paul.

Chris Paul is awesome, I dont know how anybody can say differently. Blake is so limited that I cant consider him a truly great player; numbers aside. You cant go to Blake in a big situation because he has like two moves and no real face up game. Against a good defensive front hes useless. He also is a bad defender and has a jerk face.

Lol, I know Paul's really good. But I don't get why he hasn't taken the Clippers to the next level. What are they missing? He should be good enough to make them the type of team that can win a title.

They are kind of a limited team offensively. Martin, Blake (who I agree is very overrated and really has no offensive skills other than dunking) and Jordan can only score in the paint, none of them have any real post moves they can't take guys off the dribble and all they basically can do is dunk. They really don't have any guys that shoot that well from outside (Paul, Williams, Young, Foye , Simmons and Butler are their best shooters and all shoot under 40% from 3) and they don't have guys that can get to the basket or take guys off the dribble outside of Paul. They also are a bad defensive team, I think they are in the lower 1/3 of the league in defensive efficiency.

OKC-Minny trying to outscore the combined score of all the college games tonight.

[CubInOK]

Durant and Westbrook each have 40 again (2OT though)

[SpongeWorthy]

Hope Chicago can get OKC in the Finals. Thibs will scheme the [expletive] outta them.

[wolf stansson]

Minnesota salvaged their post-Rubio watchability by not defending even a little bit.

Westbrook's off-ball, slashing work looking great sharing the floor with D Fisher. Interesting.

Durant and Westbrook each have 40 again (2OT though)

 

And Love had 51.

[ELCABALLO45]

Bucks blow out another bad team tonight and have a combined 31 ast. And somehow Toronto beat New York so the Bucks move 1.5 games back of the 8th seed.

 

And Kevin Love had 51 tonight and was 7 of 11 from 3. Decent night.

[Derwood]

Westbrook had 45 points but was a -5 for the game (lol)

Do we have to wait for a few more losses before we can slow down the Knicks bandwagon (again)? Or is it ok to stop that crap now?

And both starting SGs went scoreless. In a 149-140 game.

[Guest]

Utah and Atlanta played the first 4 OT game since 1997 today. Also interesting, they scored a combined four points in the first overtime.
