Leferd Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Lebron James is undoubtedly the best basketball player in the world -and possibly of all time. It's just inconceivable that he or any team can stop the Warriors #FullSquad. They are as indomitable as magic-potion-guzzling Gauls.

kgambit Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Latest on Andrew Bynum trade rumours (The practical deadline for the trade is today - Bynum's contract is guaranteed on Tuesday the 7th and trades need 48 hours for physicals.) 1) Bynum for Lakers Gasol - Once considered dead, the talks have resumed. The injury-ravaged Lakers have been considering whether to execute a Gasol-for-Bynum trade because it would get them out of the luxury tax for the first time in seven years. More important than the $20 million in instant savings would be easing the pressure of going into the repeater tax in either 2015 or '16. 2) Bynum for Jazz Richard Jefferson - The Jazz could trade Jefferson for Bynum, then waive Bynum before the January 7th deadline to guarantee his $12 million for this season, saving them nearly $5 million in salary for this season. The move makes them worse, which helps their long-term tanking goals. sources: CBSSports and ESPN
Keyrock Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Thunder were down almost the entire game last night but prevailed when Durant put the team on his back and scored 23 points in the 4th (48 total). While giving the young guys responsibility is important, Durant will have to do this sort of thing once in a while in Russ's absence to avoid prolonged losing streaks as they go through growing pains.

Keyrock Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Westbrook is already off crutches, walking around, and shooting free-throws. No word on when he'll return, but it's definitely an encouraging sign. In the meantime, the Thunder are plodding along, winning again tonight behind a huge scoring night from Reggie Jackson.

Keyrock Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Circle the date: Friday, Jan. 17 GS @ OKC. ESPN. It will almost certainly be a fun and entertaining game, but not particularly meaningful. Neither of these teams will be playing truly meaningful games until #April and #May and, perhaps for one of them, #June. Still, should be exciting.

Leferd Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 Disagree. All games are meaningful, especially when it comes to playoff seedings against direct competitors. It will be a tight race in the West for 1-4. Plus the first two OKC-GS games came down to buzzer beating heroics.

Keyrock Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Cavs trade Bynum & picks for Luol Deng Smart move for the Bulls. Deng is a good player, but this season is lost and they need to think about the future. Also, they need to prepare for the chance that Rose will never be the same. Hopefully he comes back and plays as good as he did before the injuries and stays healthy, but they need to plan for worst case scenario.

Hopefully he comes back and plays as good as he did before the injuries and stays healthy, but they need to plan for worst case scenario. Not being able to sign Deng to an extension certainly played into the decision. Deng may be nothing but a rental for the Cavs. The first round pick (from Sacramento) that the Cavs gave up is protected thru 2016 and likely reverts to a second round pick. Next move for the Bulls is likely applying the amnesty tag to Carlos Boozer's contract. Edited January 7, 2014 by kgambit 1

alanschu Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Warriors > Thunder. Hell of a game seemingly capped by a Westbrook dagger only to be denied by an Iguodala buzzer beater. 116-115. Yes! I caught this game with my Rec basketball team when getting beers. Was fun to show them "real" basketball

Keyrock Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 The Thunder got a much needed win tonight in Houston. At the half it looked like all Rockets but things hanged dramatically in the second half. The Rockets set a record for greatest differential in scoring between halves, scoring a season high 73 points in the 1st half and a pathetic 19 points in the second half. For the Thunder, Ibaka had a monster 21 point 15 rebound 5 block night, Durant had 36 points 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and Reggie Jackson had 23 points and 6 steals. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Keyrock Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 It was nice to see Greg Oden out on the court the other night. Hopefully his legs don't shatter into a billion pieces and he stays healthy. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Keyrock Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 (fights urge not to post picture of Oden as Mr Glass from Unbreakable and instead just posts about fighting said urge) I know how you feel. I wish the guy well, I really do, but it's hard to resist making jokes about how fragile his body is. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Keyrock Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Wait, Greg Oden was in an actual NBA game!? For like 8 or 9 minutes. Scored 6 points I think. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Keyrock Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 The Thunder #NoRuss beat The Warriors #FullSquad in a shootout in OKC. That Kevin Durant guy, he might be pretty good: 54 points 19 for 28 shooting 4 rebounds 6 assists 2 steals and a block for good measure. Curry also lit it up with 37 points and 11 assists 3 boards and 3 steals, but it just wasn't enough. Not much you can do if KD is going to drop 54 on 68% shooting.
