LooseCannon Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 As I understand it, Cleveland made Bynum an offer while he still had visits scheduled for Dallas and Atlanta and pressed him to make a decision quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 MAVS WIN! MAVS WIN!!! DING-DING-DING-DA-DING-DA-DING-DING-DONG!!! Thank you Mavs. As for tonight, trending up, Brooklyn, New York and Cleveland...trending down, Lakers, Boston and DETROIT BASKETBALL! Very upsetting that Boston lost tonight, I was hoping the Lakers could leapfrog them in the standings. The good news is the Jazz are starting to win and I think in about 1-2 weeks, Lakers will only have Sacramento ahead of them as the worst team out West. Out East, I think those three I mentioned will move up. I think we can get within the top 6 and get closer to the Jabari/Wiggins/Embiid/Exum/Randle/Smart group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 At this point, the Bucks are lucky to win 15 games all season it seems like. They'll of course receive the 8th pick in the draft and blow it on a tall, skinny small forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Things I learned tonight. You can get away with double teaming Pau Gasol, because the Lakers have no consistent second option. Nick Young likes to shoot. Sacre isn't terrible. Dirk is still Dirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Rusty Simmons @Rusty_SFChron The Bucks' fans chanted "overpaid" while Andre Iguodala was shooting free throws. He asked if they were chanting at Larry Sanders. 5:54 PM - 7 Jan 14 TKO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I don't think the Heat can sign Bynum. They have 15 guys on guranteed contracts right now. KD dropped 48 again. Lost by 11. Westbrook still mysteriously the glue that holds team together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Wiggins is collapsing as well. I really don't see him being the top pick anymore. Who knows though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHFP Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I always thought that Jabari is a better superstar name than Wiggins. I can't see anyone buying the new Wiggins II, but can see people lining up for the new Jabaris. Based on this 100% sound logic, Jabari will be better than Wiggins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Wiggins' shoes should most certainly be called Enders. People would line up for the new Enders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This seems about right. LOS ANGELES—Calling the exclusion “an embarrassing oversight,” visitors to Grantland today criticized the online sports publication for its notably deficient recap of a recent matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks, complaining that the write-up completely omits any mention of NYPD Blue’s enormous influence on the modern ensemble drama format. “Were they even watching the same game?” Grantland reader Jeremy Cortina said of the site’s incomplete recap of last night’s Lakers-Mavericks contest, which failed to make even one reference to the ABC police procedural’s immense impact on such essentials of the canon as The Shield and The Wire. “I went into that article looking for the basics—how NYPD Blue foreshadowed creator David Milch’s later work on Deadwood, instances in which modern ensemble casts have liberally borrowed from the classic on-camera rapport displayed between leads Jimmy Smits and Dennis Franz, and how this gritty crime drama reflected the uncertainties of the Clinton administration. But it’s just a bunch of trivial stuff about stats and injuries, which team won the game, and the David O. Russell film American Hustle. Do they actually think we care about this junk?” Cortina added that he hadn’t been so disappointed in a Grantland article since its recent retrospective of Jackie Robinson’s impact on race relations in baseball failed to attempt even a passing analysis of The Cure’s Disintegration. http://www.theonion.com/articles/grantland-game-recap-completely-omits-influence-of,34893 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfredoE Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 J.R. Smith for Jason Thompson would work on the trade machine come January 15th. J.R. can't be traded until then. They have similar contracts. So, he could go to the Kings. Lost in the past 2 days of news is Chris Kaman getting asked yesterday by a reporter in Dallas what was new and his response was, "Same shit. New city." LOL! Its in reference to Carlisle not playing him much last season and now D'Antoni doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like years ago that the Knicks felt like they needed to give Chris Smith a guaranteed contract to keep JR happy. Those were the days.

Can't blame it on Marion being out, because Dirk looked like shit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
