I need your ranking of the following plays

1. The DJ dunk over Pau
2. The Blake from Chauncey Lob
3. Cp3 to DJ the 1st lob
4. The 2nd lob between CP3 and DJ

1. Looking at Blake's face

i picked up Monroe and missed out on Gallo lol
we have similar mindsets

i have Corey and Douglas too

Yeah, I knew the guy behind me liked Gallinari, but I didn't think he'd be looking at Monroe. It went -

ME - Gallinari
HIM - Monroe
HIM - Beasley
ME - Hibbert

Hopefully Toney has a big year, because the Knicks backcourt sucks.

Damn, Deron in the 2nd is a steal.

if dariius morris isnt going to be on the lakers squad, he should. dude had a solid game but still looked mad nervous at the same time lol. the clippers look like they could be for real. the lakers played their starters a lot too. good game. brain cook was beastin' lol

 

[CameronCrazy06]

just cause they lost by 100 doesnt mean they looked old
idk where you heard that

Mexi was so torn with who to root for last night I bet.

Hornets will have live music at the games this year, sweet.

Paul Allen, who bought the Blazers in 1988, said he intends on remaining the owner, but he will no longer be among the highest-paying owners, like the early 2000, when his payroll skyrocketed to as much as $108 million.

“As an owner, you really want to do the team right, the fans right, and the community right and build a winning organization,’’ Allen said. “So I’ve invested a lot, but the crazy luxury tax days and all those things, those are gone. Those are gone ... There’s no enjoyment to losing money.’’

Allen would not give a long-term commitment to owning the team, saying his health will be a factor in his involvement, as will the success of the team.

“I think if at some point things were getting stale, or if we were going to be a lottery team forever ... that would be a challenge,’’ Allen said.

welp lol to winning for them

Anyone heard about the new rule change where you can't rip through the defender anymore? I hate it.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

It's just a non-shooting foul now. Which is probably right.

Oh really? I must have misread. I'm ok with that.

Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman is willing to feature Kevin Love, Michael Beasley and rookie Derrick Williams in the same frontcourt because of the stress they can put on an opponent’s defense.

"They're a tough matchup for the other team, but they have to do the job defensively," Adelman said. "They were active Saturday night. The key is everybody has to keep their concentration. That's the biggest problem we have. We get into situations on the weak side, and we don't have guys thinking all the time. We'll keep working at it."

Adelman might have to limit how much time he plays the trio together until Williams becomes a better defender. Adelman said the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 draft has a "ways to go" defensively.

Y! Sources: Kris Humphries will sign a one-year deal worth between $7M-$8M to stay with the New Jersey Nets. yhoo.it/sSFt8C

Give AK47 that same deal, and say hello to the 7th seed.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'm not so sure.

 

[Elite]

at ASW, there should be a 3v3 contest between the Clippers and Heat

Lebron-Wade-Bosh
versus
Blake-CP3-DeAndre


I'd totally watch that

Wouldn't end well for the Clips

 

[Elite]

What do you guys think of my fantasy team?

PG - Ty Lawson
SG - Tyreke Evans
SF - Andre Iguodala
PF - Amare Stoudemire
C - Dwight Howard
G - Raymond Felton
F - Danilo Gallinari
C - Roy Hibbert
UTIL - Ed Davis
UTIL - Jameer Nelson

BN - Tyrus Thomas
BN - Corey Maggette
BN - Toney Douglas

Love the Lawson pick, really think he breaks out this year. He played real well after the Melo trade.

Yeah lol the Clippers would get killed. We're talking about Blake Griffin guarding LeBron...
