Durant on Royce White's Twitter comments: "I wish he could have felt the intensity of a playoff game. I guess watching on TV is better."

Queue Royce's "I'm watching on TV because I have a very serious disorder and I can't believe Durant would be so ignorant and I demand he smarten up and I'm only asking for what's fair" rant
 
And no one is giving $10M to Iguodala for his defense with the new CBA. Maybe if he still had "potential" and was 24-25 years old. The guy is 29 years old and was pretty average like his last 3 years. Tony Allen will probably get offered $5M a year from Memphis for being the best on ball defender. I don't expect Iguodala to get $5M more just because he can handle the ball better. His shooting is terrible and even worse than Tony's, especially his FT shooting.
iggy is a flat out better player then allen. you know good and damn well someone is going to give him 10 million or more dont matter what the CBA is

Durant started w/ "Who's he?" When told, said, "I haven't seen him on the bench. I'm not worried about guys that's not even in our series."

Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry

Scott Brooks says he will stick with his same starting five in Game 6 tonight.
 
is Nate Robinson a bad teammate? Why is he always on a new team. He can play
He shines under great coaches ( doc and thibs).... D'antoni and brooks didnt know how to use him, I dont know how a dude that was a big piece in the celtics run to the finals becomes a bench warmer when hes traded smh
 
TA's shooting isn't better than Iggy's though. Iggy's inconsistent with the burner, but what he did last night I don't think I've seen TA ever do. TA is a better free throw shooter though.

I've seen TA completely change games even from an offensive standpoint. That's more so because players do not game plan for him offensively. I'll give you that.

He's either better or close to Iguodala in every statistical category per 36 outside of assists. What I'm getting at is, you don't pay $10M for a guy that you can barely get anything out of offensively on a consistent basis in 35 minutes of play.

Player 1: PER 36: 13.4ppg / 5.6apg / 4.4rpg / 1.8spg / 0.7bpg / 45-32-57 TS:52%

Player 2: PER 36: 12ppg / 1.7apg / 6.2rpg / 2.0spg / 0.8bog / 45-13-72 TS:49%

Would you rather pay 3yr/$15M to Tony Allen or 3yr/$30M to Iguodala? And mike ****, you the last person that need to comment on anything Grizz related :lol . No one said TA is better than Iguodala. People always get the impression that I'm saying that a Grizz player is better than somebody. I said Iguodala is not worth $5M more than Tony Allen. He damn sure not worth $12M more than Tony Allen (their current salary).

Also, who exactly is going to give Iguodala $10M? The teams with the most caproom not going to pay him. Utah not, Cleveland not, why would Atlanta do it? Bobcats not. Detroit not either. Iguodala will not make any of the lottery teams with cap space a playoff team. Utah has Hayward and need a PG. Atlanta would risk losing Josh Smith just to get Iguodala? Detroit has other issues and the Bobcats have MKG.

The best and worst thing that could happen to the league was mark Jackson getting that GSW job. He has them ballin, but he was legendary on Espn broadcast.

He deserves a raise, 2nd year sixth seed and at least second round playoff appearance? He'll be getting that CotY bonus though so it's all good. They need to hurry up and just give him his award. Idk how some of you dont like the guy.

If by legendary you mean in a negative aspect, then yes.

Guy use to say the most ridiculous **** with a straight face and try to defend himself after he got heavily criticized. Use to downplay the greatness of the legends he played against, and overhype current players to a ridiculous extent. Guy tried to tell his audience that Dirk Nowitzki was better than Larry Bird, and Kobe>MJ on multiple occasions even proclaiming "Kobe is the greatest basketball player that has ever lived" (ACB, theres no need for you to respond to this). He was the first ever to say that, and So Cal took him serious :{

And his lame *** "mama there goes that man" and "hand down, man down" crap got old after about the 26,754 time. Guy thought he was so clever. If it wasnt for JVG stand up commentary, I would've been watching games on SAP.

Alot of people on this board thought like David Kahn too.

The overwhelming opinion on NikeTalk was that Jonny Flynn was WAY better than Stephen Curry.

Yup it was, I liked both, I didn't like Steph for Minny just because Steph was a pure point in my eyes, I didn't think he would reach his potential playing the two.

Johnny was an elite athlete, a big time leader, hit clutch shots in college.



The hip thing explains a lot,
 
the injuries and triangle offense messed Johnny Flynn up

GOT DAMN HE DID MIKE ROSARIO DIRTY... Mike hasn't been the same since :lol :{

Live was absolutely CRAZY too. I know Johnny personally, he's an amazing person really sad to hear about his hip |I
 
reporter to hollins, "how have y'all managed to keep DeAndre Jordan off his game?"

hollins, "what is his game?"

:rollin

:rollin

Lionel Hollins is quickly becoming one of my favorite coaches. Guy keeps it too real. His "Cant have champagne taste on a beer budget" line was legendary. I've been using that line now whenever someones lowballed me since :smokin
 
Highlights of combo guards dunking the basketball who didn't pan out in the NBA.

It's that time of year.

So Kobe and his mom couldn't work it out minus the court? 

Man I could't imagine me and mom's battling it out in court.

He'd still be in the league had it not been for the hip. It wasn't because of a lack of skill. His numbers took a dramatic dip following the injury. He was never the same.

CAMDEN, N.J. -- Kobe Bryant is in a court battle to try to keep his mother from auctioning off mementos from his high school days in Pennsylvania and his early years with the Los Angeles Lakers.

A New Jersey auction house filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Camden on Thursday for the right to sell the stuff after the NBA star's lawyers wrote the firm telling it to cancel a planned June auction.

The disagreement is a high-value, high-profile version of a question many families face: Can Mom get rid of the stuff a grown child left at home?

In this case, the 900 mementos happen to be worth upward of $1.5 million.

Among the first 100 or so items Pamela Bryant intends to sell: the NBA star's jerseys, practice gear and sweatsuits from Lower Merion High School; varsity letters; a trophy for being the outstanding player at the 1995 Adidas ABCD basketball camp; and a signed basketball from the 2000 NBA championship game.

And then there are rings, for the 1996 Pennsylvania high school championship, a pair that the Lakers made for Bryant's parents for the 2000 NBA championship and one from the 1998 NBA All-Star game.

According to court filings, Pamela Bryant struck a deal in January with Goldin Auctions in Berlin, N.J., which earlier this year sold a rare Honus Wagner baseball card for a record $2.1 million.

She got $450,000 up front, which she intended to use for a new home in Nevada.

A source told ESPN that Kobe Bryant offered to pay his mother up $250,000 toward a home she wanted.

She refused, saying she wanted $450,000. When Kobe Bryant turned her down, the source said that unbeknownst to Kobe Bryant she struck a deal to get the $450,000 advanced through the auction company.

The source said Kobe Bryant was unaware that his memorabilia was being auctioned until hours before the auction company released the news of the sale.

In its court filings, Goldin says Pamela Bryant told the auction house that she asked her son five years ago what he wanted to do with the items that were in her home.

"Kobe Bryant indicated to Pamela Bryant that the items belonged to her and that he had no interest in them," the auction house's attorneys wrote. So she put them in a $1,500-per-month New Jersey storage unit.

The challenge came Tuesday when Goldin sent a news release announcing the auction. By day's end, Kobe Bryant's lawyer had sent a cease-and-desist letter telling the auction house to call off the sale and return the items to him.

Kenneth Goldin, owner of the auction house, says he can't cancel the auction because he's already advanced $450,000 to Bryant's mother and put money into advertising the auction.

Kobe Bryant's lawyer Mark Campbell said in a statement, "Mr. Bryant's personal property has ended up in the possession of someone who does not lawfully own it. We look forward to resolving this legal matter through the legal system."

Bryant has had a sometimes icy relationship with his mother and father, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, a former pro basketball player who is now coaching in Thailand.
Considering how much Kobe does for his high school and the fact that he never went to college, I do not believe for one minute that he said that she could whatever with his stuff. Also, he made sure they were straight of which included two homes before the Vanessa thing happened. Just because he makes x amount of dollars doesn't mean he has to take care of them night and day.
 
 
Bring Lin off the bench. Give AB and Beverley the majority of the minutes.
