I can't even understand a word they're saying 

It's probably best you don't

I mean I guess its cuz Detroit sucks, but he still needs to work on his FTs otherwise he will get "Hack-A-Shaqed" if a team feels like Detroit has a chance to beat them. My man is terrible from the line. Watched him at UCONN all the time and his missed FTs arent even close.

But im glad young man is out there doing his thing. I honestly thought he should have stayed 1 more year. But with UCONN not being eligible for the tourney this year he took his shot. And hes showin out these last couple weeks.

Yea I saw him airball a couple at UCONN

He can be special if he develops a post game, he needs to spend a summer with Hakeem.
He also has the ability to go from end to end but only shows it on occasion. Him and Monroe in the paint + 3 years could be great with a different coach (SVG?), a better point guard and some shooting.

DET probably has the best upside of any young team in the league. That froncourt is gonna be something serious. Just get them a better PG, Knight isn't gonna cut it.

nah. They are only 10th youngest, and in this bunch younger than them might have an NBA finalist, likely the Western Conference conference finalist.

Houston Rockets 15 201.7 103.5 23.7 1.7 $2,588,034 3.3
New Orleans Hornets 14 200.6 99.2 24.0 2.3 $3,122,160 2.6
Cleveland Cavaliers 15 199.5 98.4 24.5 3.5 $3,015,838 2.6
Denver Nuggets 15 202.5 99.3 24.7 3.7 $4,270,233 3.1
Oklahoma City Thunder 14 202.6 100.6 24.8 3.7 $4,950,585 3.3
Portland Trail Blazers 15 201.7 97.5 24.9 3.1 $3,529,110 2.9
Washington Wizards 14 201.1 101.1 25.1 3.7 $3,864,110 2.6
Golden State Warriors 15 201.5 103.0 25.2 3.7 $4,753,726 2.8
Memphis Grizzlies 12 202.0 99.4 25.3 4.0 $6,173,899 2.6
Detroit Pistons 15 202.9 101.8 25.5 3.7 $4,178,809 2.5

The context implied that I was referring to the young rebuilding teams.. ie Detroit, Cleveland, Washington, Charlotte, Sac, NO, etc etc, Detroit probably has the best upside out of any of those teams to rebuild.

So who's dropping out of the playoffs? Because Dallas and the Lakers are getting in

Transcribe for me plz

In a few months I won't even have a team to get butt hurt over anymore 

 

[alleniversonfan01]

Melo got a Tech for the same exact thing 2 nights ago that almost cost the Knicks the game against the Hawks. Only thing different is Kobes deserved a tech because it actually went in the stands and was for no reason. While Melos was because he got hit in the face twice in like 2 seconds and finally got a call when he got poked in the eye.

The league really does hate the Knicks.

Just Sayin

 

[Master Zik]

GET THE **** OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!! **** THESE REFS

Kobe slams the ball, lets call a tech and rescind it. Melo slams the ball after getting fouled several times and then poked in the eye, give him a tech and don't even question it.

age has nothing to do with it its about whos gonna be better.. Name 2 front court players on the same team thats better than Monroe and Drummond

thats what i thought.

 

[jay y kay]

I really thought Cavs had a chance to continue their winning streak b/c Ws were banged up pretty badly. Jarrett Jack and Klay killed 'em though I think Warriors were perfect from behind the line in 1st half while Cavs didn't hit any 3s during the 1st half. Can't win a game that way...

I think eventually Lakers will sneak up in the playoff. It's got to be Utah or Houston that won't make it. Probably Houston b/c they seem very streaky and too dependent on Harden. But if Harden goes ham for a prolonged stretch... look out.

Melo said a lot of stuffs to the ref during that game though. It build up

 

[alleniversonfan01]

Stop it.......... He's the worst refed superstar in the league. And doesn't talk more or less than the rest of em.

But I would expect that comment from you. Since you got banned before the playoffs started last year for running your mouth in the Knicks thread

Good day sir

Naw, but it all seriousness during the replay you can see he meant to dribble it hard, he just didn't catch it at the top.

dat gif

 

[ballinsam23]

im convinced, the league hates the Knicks.

Why would they hate the Knicks?

no he didn't

and kobe doesn't complain. u right

there's no parity with calls the refs make. be real about it at least

 

[acbboyz84]

there's no parity with calls the refs make. be real about it at least

Kobe didn't said a single word to the ref prior to that call

I watched that Knicks game. Melo was barking at the refs prior to his technical.

The gif execution is flawless.

 

[ballinsam23]

Why would they hate the Knicks?

We're nationally televised alot because we are New York, thats as much as love as we get. As for everything else.....

No such thing as homecourt advantage, no such thing as a "superstar" call, no such thing as video reviews, and the list goes on. Just watch 2-4 consecutive games and you'll see what I'm taking about.

thats what i thought.

I like Utah's frontcourt. Sans for Big Al, both sides of the ball
Ryan Anderson and Anthony Davis
Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan
50% of Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol
Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol
Andrew Bogut and David Lee
LeBron James and Chris Bosh
Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka

And I'd halt on the homer inspired hyperbole, particularly about the future, with guys on rookie contracts. You never know if they want to bolt for a team with an arena that isn't half empty.

 

[sooperhooper]

Lakers just lost all of their swag.

 

[shatterkneesinc]

THE FREAKING MAVS CMON !!!!!!

 

[henz0]

D. Collison has to lead the league in circus shots on the season

 

[henz0]

Kobe tryna emulate the best in the game again I see

 

[mitchellicious]

Jodie Meeks looks like a Squirtle
