Even funnier are the mindless Laker following whose skirts fall down at the possibility or even notion that their team is bad.

But on a serious note, they're not moving to VA Beach. I've said it before: it makes no sense for the NBA to move another team out of the NorCal/NW region, especially into the log-jammed East Coast. Unless David Stern's ultimate goal is to essentially wipe the NBA off the map across one quarter of the United States, I wouldn't put too much stock in this.

^Agreed, but before with Seattle and previous VA rumors, they were just that, rumors. This time though, there are actual confirmation of meetings between the two sides which is why I'll put a little more credence in this than any other previous rumors/reports since Anaheim.

Hey_
Very.
Scott Brooks is sayin' Thabo will cover Harden from the start, so we'll so how that goes.
He could just watch the Finals footage to see how the Heat stopped Harden though.

I'm more excited to watch the highlights of this game.
Harden will be in feast mode I'm sure. I wouldn't be shocked if he dropped 79 on his old team.
Let that boy cook!!!

Harden Trying To Make Oklahoma City Return 'Just Another Game'
Nov 28, 2012 11:17 AM EST
James Harden makes his first return to Oklahoma City as a member of the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
Harden spent three seasons with the Thunder where he became a fan favorite before he was traded in October.
“I’m on the road trying to get a win,” Harden said Tuesday. “That’s no different than when we played at Memphis or Atlanta or whatever the case may be.”
Harden refuses to give special significance to the game.
“To be honest, I don’t even know,” he said. “It will be good to see some faces, some old teammates and coaches. They’re all my family. I look forward to every single game I play. It’s just another game.”
Daequan Cook expects Harden to be particularly motivated in the game.
“He’s going to be in a different zone,” Cook said. “At the end of the day, if anybody knows, I know this game means a lot to him. He’s going to want to play his best basketball. This game means so much right now to him. You’re going to see a different mindset with him.
“It’s going to be crazy, man. Crazy emotional and very energetic on both sides of the floor for both teams.”

Uhhhh, suddenly Darren Collison is inactive against the Bulls, with a surprise middle finger injury.
I think he might've gave Carlisle the bird and Rick chewed his finger off. Darren has been incredibly inconsistent recently, and maybe he's clashing with Rick? I'm not sure, something's going on, and it's not good.
Likely that Dominique Jones will start, and Jared Cunningham will be active in place of Darren.
OJ, here's your shot. Step up big.

No reason why he wouldn't. He played fine against the Sixers despite rolling his ankle a bit on Sunday.
He'll be fine to go.

Is there anyone close to Kevin Love at the 4?
Last year I held out hope that Dirk would turn it up during the Playoffs. It didn't happen, and I'm fully ready to accept Kevin Love as far-and-above the best PF in the game right now.
Forget Griffin, forget Dirk, forget Zach, Kevin Love is above them all, and IMO it's not even close.
The only guy who I think is anywhere near his league right now is LaMarcus Aldridge, and maybe Timmy/Bosh. The latter two are having great years, but also play supporting roles to other players. LMA is all alone out there with Lillard.
And just to be clear, Melo and Bron are still SF's IMO. Amar'e is the PF for the Knicks, and the Heat just play smallball with Bosh @ Center.

****, you just reminded me.
Last night in the car, had the local radio guys on, they was takin calls on trading Lamarcus and I quote "Hickson has been playing outstanding, we should move Lamarcus now while we can get something for him".
I had to pull over.
750 the game, high comedy value man.

LA is definitely one of my favorite players, but he isn't remotely close to Love in the rebounding department. I would probably put Josh Smith in the upper tier of PF's as well

Nah, DoJo will have that responsibility, unfortunately. He's even worse.
