I wonder what a package of Austin Rivers and Al-Farouq Aminu would net the Pelicans in a trade.
Not as much as you'd think

So many flops by SA tonight. Man oh man. I don't know why they've gone back to falling for it every time, but they have. Perhaps Silver thinks 5 and 10G fines are useless and arbitrary, which they really are. There's no point in issuing them.

Houston has gone so cold. How does a whole team do that?

I think it would net a little more than people think personally, not a great player or anything, but a solid rotational player who could probably start for us when we have Jrue, Eric, Davis, etc.

NBA executives have scouted Austin and know what he is as an NBA player, which is a complete 180 from what pretty much every fan thinks he is. They know that he's a really good defender and gets to the rim whenever he wants and has the ability to either kick out to open shooters or finish at the rim. And Aminu, he could be a valuable player to a NBA rotation because of his defensive abilities. Long, athletic, good defender, plays the passing lanes, blocks shots, gets out on the break, and he's one of the best rebounding 3's in the league, which really helps a teams rebounding. Could really thrive on a team that likes to play uptempo.

Like I said, I don't think it would net a great player, but they would net a player that could make our team better.

Sean Elliott takes homerism to the next next level

Don't care, mexi. Make your free throws when your team needs them.
 
We are fucked if Parsons is out for any significant amount of time. Ouch.

Harden missing free throws today is just a fluke. Maybe a little rust
That was probably his worst ft shooting game of his career

I'm very happy with how the Rockets responded after SA made a late run and took the lead, and kept drilling shots to keep it for a few minutes.

We lost to someone earlier this season because he missed a late free throw.

I think Chandler is arguably more big time than James.

I think Utah may have the best uni set in the league, those things are beautiful.

He's an 86% FT shooter, I wouldn't concern myself with a couple of misses down the stretch.

He scored 16 of his 31 points in the 4th quarter too
