The two pointer won the game, but I was talking about the shot before that was the 3 pointer to tie the game.

Attached is my sister and her coworkers with Portland rookie big men, Meyers Leonard and Joel Freeland. I guess they enjoy the sushi at her restaurant because they're becoming regulars.

Maybe if someone is injured, he can be a replacement.

I'll be at the Mavs game tomorrow and Saturday, hopefully.

I really don't this Rudy Gay deal right now to sum it up to you guys here's a quick breakdown...

Our GM (Brian Colangelo) is a horrid general manager (drafted Andrea Bargnani 1st overall 1 playoff appearance under his watch in about 9 years signed Hedo Turkolgo to a massive contract ect ect I could go) So obviously this guy is on the hot seat he had 2 options develop our young core for the next few seasons and enter the lottery or make a "big time" trade in an attepmt to save his job.

Rudy Gay is an amazing talent don't get me wrong but he cannot lead a team so now we're stuck with another "franchise guy" that's not really a franchise guy for 3 years destined for at least 2 or 3+ of mediocrity unless something miraculous happens.

Now Toronto is stuck with all that pay roll and no cap room. On paper the deal sounds amazing, but Memphis saved their asses from luxury tax penalties. Detroit even did ok acquiring a passing PG with an expiring contract (Calderon). That leaves them with some cap after this season. Memphis instantly filled the void at the 3 spot with Tayshaun who is virtually the same player as Gay, obviously not as talented, but has been playing better basketball this season. AND a solid big man off the bench in Ed Davis. I think Toronto got the worst end of the stick no doubt.

Now I may be wrong just for the simple fact that I'm not really a fan of the team but I think Rudy gay was a great pick up for the raptors. They get some much needed star-power & a closer. That role may supposedly be bargnati's but dude is like a generic Kroger brand dirk nowitski I'd pick Gay to take over the 4th before him. Like I said I don't really follow the raptors but Calderon & some other guy for ruddy gay is a steal for them. The tandem of him & derozen will be deadly on the fastbreak

EARL***THE***PEARL · « **Reply #193 on:** February 02, 2013, 12:15:01 AM »

I guess we'll have to wait and see.... I'm still skeptical but I'm not going to lie I liked what saw tonight, I haven't seen the Raps play that good from tip off till the finals buzzer in years. Lowry Gay and Derozan is a lot to handle for any team. Still though seeing Memphis play OCK the other night really exposed they're lack of play making ability and is good as Rudy played in his debut the Clippers were without they're number one guy and floor general. I'll be able to make a real asessment come sunday vs the Heat.

I think he just got a concussion, hopefully nothing more serious.

Yea MKG will be fine it wasn't that bad of a collision just wild cause he was out cold.

Can't win, rockets so far made like 18 threes.

I'm going to the home game on the 12th. Home game against the rockets.

edit: 23 three pointers, crazy. tied the record.

Thank god Mark Jackson told the team to foul so they can't beat the record.

I was hoping for 1 more. I had them splitting the times they play each other in February, so I'm not feeling totally as good for the next meeting! haha Crazy game though, holy shit!

haha yeah, rockets scored 140

. Crazy Ejection at the end of the game, but yeah first quarter was close and high scoring. But after that Rockets took over.

Only highlight for me was the Curry half-court heave.

He charged the basket, surprise no help for Gerald Wallace.

edit: slow mo. I think John Legend couldn't believe it (if that is him)

I saw that Hou Gsw score and kept checking if it was in triple OT saw the highlights.... holy shit!!! I can't remember the last time I've seen such an offensive outburst I guess Orlando (also 23 threes) but I don't think they had 140 crazy that dunk on G Wallace was nuts to, this seems be the time of year were buck shit just goes down it's mid season players are on their game but not yet worn out.

confirmed on Kobe's Twitter, man I was worried about him heading in this season cause he wasn't looking good at the Olympics but fuuuuck he ain't done yet

Losing to the Heat sucked again

Chances down the stretch both times but they make great defensive plays when they need too. Harden scoring damn near 20 in the 4th was crazy to see, step back 3's on lebron, he was going off.

Really excited for the stretch of games coming after the All-Star break, good group of games to really go on a few streaks and really bump up the record. Really hyped on the remainder of the year. With the Grizzlies trade that happened and all this changing in momentum for the 4-6 seeds, this will be a interesting year in the western conference.

EARL***THE***PEARL · « **Reply #209 on:** February 09, 2013, 05:47:27 AM »

Indeed,anything after the 3 spot is a toss up I see Denver holding on to third. I can see Golden State faltering a bit being such an injury prone team it would be awesome to see Houston adavance past the second round for once but if they end up 7th or 8th Spurs or OCK will make quick work out of them.
