My Rockets really really suck. They suck balls.

James Harden sucks and is overrated.

 

[Hurricane Season]

LMA is also a bum.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He made AD his bitch tonight apparently

Darren Collision + for Deron Williams & Mason Plumlee is being discussed.

Darren Collison is having a pretty good season.  Everyone hated on me for having him as my starting point in the redraft.

According to league sources, Lance Stephenson is clashing with his teammates in the locker room, but coach Steve Clifford is hopeful that Charlotte's veterans will help Stephenson become more of a team player.

This isn't surprising by any means, as Stephenson has been a major disappointment so far in Charlotte. However, it appears that the Hornets are no longer aggressively shopping him, as they feel like his value is too low to deal him right now. Unless Stephenson returns from his hip injury soon and starts to turn things around.

So perhaps the Pacers let him go because they were worried that David West would eventually kill him.

Strongly suggest this read.  Hawks are the real deal (in the East).  Bud is one of the best young coaches in the NBA.  I love the mini-Spurs comparison.  Still think Bulls/Cavs will be the ones to standing at the end, the Hawks/Raptors/Wiz are going to give them fits in the playoffs.
 
I think it is really awesome how the top teams seem to be winning based on balanced rosters, terrific spacing and good coaching (for the most part).  

 

[BwareDWare94]

I also love how the Hawks maximize middle of the pack talent. Look at the player Demarre Carroll has turned into. Shelvin Mack might be one of the most fun to watch backup guards in the league, etc, etc.

If James Johnson could shoot a corner 3 he would be such an incredibly valuable player.

 

[snipezo]

Holy crap 2pat is shooting 48% from 3. Didn't even realize that. Only if he was more consistent defensively.

 

[travesy3]

Sometimes Ross looks like Ray Allen catching the ball off a screen.  Other times he looks like Jason Kapono.  So weird.

And if the bastard could rebound. He's built like a bull. There's no reason he shouldn't be a menace on the boards.

 

[travesy3]

The Raptors fans chanting "We want Bruno" is easily the best thing in the NBA.  Is this game on national TV down south?

 

[travesy3]

The Lowry MVP chants make me cringe.  If it is game 70 and we are pacing for 55 wins then okay, but come on.

TIL that Cole Aldrich is still in the league and is starting for the Knicks.
