Wow, I didn’t know Emeka Okafor was still in the league.

He wasn't until recently.

Just looked at their starting lineup for tonight lmfaooo

 

[bksballer89]

Tyreke Evans played 3 games since Memphis wasn't able to trade him at the deadline lol.

The frontcourt isn't bad, Brooks has been decent as a rookie. The backcourt is just horrible though. Evans has played in 4 of their last 17 games, whether that's because he legitimately can't play or they're stretching out his injury I wouldn't know.

LMAO at the NBA ref association still claiming it wasn't a 5 second violation even though the league said it was....and they wonder why the players and coaches don't like them

The league said a five-second inbounding violation should have been called against Washington with 12.2 seconds left in overtime, after determining that Markieff Morris did not release the basketball in time. Replays showed Morris held the ball for more than five seconds, which meant Miami should have gotten possession in what was then a one-point game.

But the NBRA said the officiating crew was right.

"We are taught to count to 5 and make sure the ball has not been released before calling a violation," the NBRA wrote on Twitter. "The official in this game got to 5 and the ball was released. It was the correct decision."

NBA: Wizards benefited from 3 calls vs. Heat

Should end up with 60+ wins as they only need to go 13-5 to finish with 60 wins.

They kinda need to make the finals though.

My preference would be Milwaukee or Indiana but if we end up as 7/8 seed which seems likely then I want Boston

Big difference from 'counting to 5' vs 5 seconds.
So stupid.
It was clearly a violation.

Yeah, I have no idea how you defend that. That was closer to a 7-8 second violation than a 5 second violation

Kings aren't messing around tonight.

Adam Silver is requesting a meeting with Vlade immediately after the game.

Z-Bo and KK both started while Temple started the 2nd half when Fox got hurt early, I guess the NBA could warn them for playing the vets too much?
