Kobe out 6 weeks with fracture in left knee.

Sad, I guess I won't see him play on Saturday vs the Dubs.

The Harden trade is starting to look genius for the Thunder right now. Probably the best team in the league right now after going to San Antonio and beating the Spurs.

should be interesting to see how that Adams guy off the bench develops. I really like his game and he's tough as nails I could see him replacing perkins as starting center down the line.

He's right, if they still had Harden during the playoffs last year...who know?

I like it, a modern update on their old logo. I hope the Raptors do the same when their new jerseys come out.

They probably would have lost to the Heat in the finals, but who knows. After that, he would have left and we would have no Jeremy Lamb or Steven Adams,  and Reggie Jackson wouldn't of progressed to the point he's at now as a solid 6th man.

The Raptors are 5-2 in their last 7, with wins against the 76'ers, Lakers (with Kobe), Bulls, Mavs and Thunder.


Fuck yeah.

The Pacers are taking care of business so far and have  been fun to watch. The loss to Portland had playoff like intensity and the Heat games have been battles for sure.  As much as I'd like to watch hoops all day tomorrow, the only game that looks good is LAC/GSW.

I remember Adidas talking last year about trying to introduce those jerseys. I hope the public outcry was enough to change their minds. I remember at one point the announcer said that the terrible games might be partly the jerseys' fault since the players weren't used to sleeves for the most part. A bit of a stretch, but I'm inclined to agree. The best comment I saw was "they look like the top to a children's pajama set"
Look I'm not selling anything that doesn't have my jizz on it. I don't care how much is offered.

Cavs are looking to trade Bynum, good guy trying to find a team who will take a guy who makes $12 million and has no knees.

And this is why the Heat will win a 3rd championship in a row, even without Lebron they're still able to match up with almost any team.

The whole Bynum thing smells. From the get go with that structure you knew they were looking to deal him at some point during the season. They were never gambling on him to become a center piece to that team but to become a trade asset. Fuck the cavs. If they think bron is going to return to that three ring service they are delusional. Dan Gilbert should be checked for early signs of dementia.

Horford out for the season.  Atlanta's faint hopes are dimmed and the East just gets more lopsided.  Ugh.

The Thunder didn't have Westbrook and still beat the Rockets by 30. I could see Bynum going to Dallas or Detroit  soon.

word is the Heat & Clippers want him. I think he's (potentially) too good of a player to play behind 2 other bigs like Griffin & Jordan and wouldn't like to be 3rd fiddle, regardless of how fragile his knees are. Miami would be interesting tho as far his "lack of motivation" to play ball I'm sure a potential 3rd ring and maybe even a possible starting role down the line (depending on health & performance) should reinvigorate him. should be interesting to see what happens to him wherever he goes

At this point in his career you don't want him playing more than 20 mins a game anyways. Playing behind dj and Blake would be a non issue and Miami likes to play bosh at center with their small ball philosophy. In both cases those offenses are so potent he would be a 5th option in most rotations. Miami needs him for boards and the clips need him in crunch time to make free throws. But this is all if dude wants to play ball opposed to bumping Trina and building computers while working from home.
