@johnschuhmann Awful news: Kevin McHale's daughter Sasha passed away Saturday afternoon.

I knew he took a leave, didn't know how serious it was.

Damn 

 

[essential1]

bradley beal 11ppg 33%fg

It's the Wizards

But on a serious note, Beal won't fully come into his own until there is better talent on that team.

Wall & Nene is a good start. But as a full team, they have very little depth. Or veteran leadership. Nene can be a leader. But Okafor & Ariza while a solid combo, but not leadership material.

They have a lot of cap before the 2014 season. Let's hope the Wizards spend it wisely. If not they'll waste a ton of years in Wall & Beal's career.

I refuse to watch these Wizards until Wall comes back

i hesitated on mentioning him, but i was expecting him to least put 15ppg on that awful team. i think jordan crawford is leading the team in scoring at 12ppg.

guys having good seasons under the radar:
jeff teague 14 ppg, 7 apg, 1.5 apg, 48% fg, 42% 3fg
chris kaman 14 ppg, 7 rbg, 1.1 bpg 53% fg
nicolas batum 19 ppg, 6 rbg, 3 apg, 1 bpg, 2 spg 47% fg
goran dragic 16 ppg, 7 apg, 2 spg 47% fg

we expected better from these guys
michael beasley 12 ppg, 5 reb 35% fg 26% 3fg
ersan ilyasova 6 ppg, 5 rbg, 32% fg
bradley beal 11ppg 33%fg

I'll add:

Pleasant surprises:
The Bobcats...a few factors working in their favor between coaching, internal improvement, added talent and a soft schedule
Jason Kidd...helping the Knicks change for the better with his three point shooting, passing and defense
Patrick Patterson and Marcus Morris combo...providing just enough offense and rebounding to help the Rockets up front

Disappointments:
Lamar Odom...largely invisible
Derrick Williams and Jan Vesley's development...it's early, but it's not looking good for these two
The Celtics and Pacers as a whole...I expected better play from these two teams

we expected better from these guys

michael beasley
bradley beal

Nah.

Cause?

 

[onedollarballah23]

Lupus

 

[antidope]

Double overtime with the Raptors....... Sigh.

RIP to his daughter that sucks. I know someone with lupus

 

[T0INE]

Damn

RIP

 

[thapointguy]

RIP to McHale's daughter. Heard about lupus not too long ago on NT didn't know it's life threatening, gonna make myself aware of this disease.

Bargnani sucked big time today could've given the team that extra fire power.

Son was shooting bricks out there, it got sad to watch at a point. Cant be mad though it led to a Spurs Win.

Raptors Mascot has to be my favorite Mascot in the league

 

[pmatic]

I think the Raptors lead the league in crushing losses. The Wizards aren't far behind.

Jermaine O'Neal has stepped it up too during Gortat's recent struggles. 13/7 and 2 blocks on 60% shooting in the last 5 games.

The Phoenix training staff has struck again.

 

[awwsome]

harrison barnes has the chance to be a star wingman unlike his predecessors mccants and ellington

He's playing with a lot more confidence/athleticism then I expected or even saw in him at UNC
He's also going to be great off the ball and his mid range game is already solid.
Mccants
Felton is the only one from the UNC era that is still balling

I think they lost like 6 games by 2 or less points :x

 

[bhzmafia14]

I was going to bring up Beal struggling, but didn't want to hurt all of his fans feelings on here. Barnes is clearly looking like the better player. Even though Waiters is doing fine in Cleveland, I still wish they would have taken Barnes. With that being said, its still early and things can change.

 

[pmatic]

Who else in the league does this? Recognizes the pass, breaks it up, dribbles the length of the floor, goes between someone's legs and then finishes at the basket.

really thought this kid was gonna be the real deal :\

 

[shox23]

mccants could have been really good off the bench scorer, but with his attitude problems derailed his nba career
