Rubio went down for the Wolves.

This makes me less excited about going to the laker vs the wolves next week. Oh well Kobe better score 40 points or something

Kendrick Perkins is basically Kwame Brown

 

[Mexi]

thats actually a really good comparison

 

[elcheato]

I saw it from someone else but Harden's game is similar to Manu as well.

Knicks play recently makes me suddenly not want to go to the game vs the Blazers on Wednesday.

Losing to the Bucks just showed me how valuable Chandler and Jeffries are to our team.

Boston wouldnt have done that.... Perk's salary = garbo

agreed. I never thought I'd be so eager to get Jared Jeffries back.


One thing I did notice last night, is offensively, our offense is so much more effective with Amar'e or Chandler, but not both. Especially since Chandler hasn't hit a shot outside the paint this year, he can't clear a defender out of the way for a Stat P&R because no defender is going to follow him.

I saw a lot of bloggers on Twitter last night suggesting he play off the bench so that you don't have him, TC & Melo on at the same time and it would help space the floor and fit into D'Antoni's system -- but he'd still be getting a good amount of minutes. I don't necessarily agree with the idea but I can see why they think it might work.

John Shannon of Sportsnet in Canada said on Friday that Glen Grunwald, former general manager of the Raptors, said 'no' to a trade that would have sent Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash to Toronto for Vince Carter and Antonio Davis.

Nowitzki and Nash were members of the Mavericks at the time.

Via City News

that could have changed the career of all three.
