Is this why they are trying out 11 minute quarters? To balance out even more lost time to replay reviews?

Brook Lopez is out 10-14 days with a sprain of his surgically repaired right foot. Tough for bigs to get their feet back right after hurting them.

Hayward said he would crush Lebron 1-on-1.

BREAKING NEWS: JOEL ANTHONY TO DETROIT!!!!!!!!

 

[bksballer89]

One on one versus LeBron James? He would get crushed. We would all be witnesses to a straight up annihilation.
The reigning MVP, Kevin Durant? I'm LOLing. Go ahead and put him with Russell Westbrook. Throw Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard in there, just for kicks. They'd still have no chance.

Honestly, take any five NBA players you want and put them on the same squad. It doesn't really matter. I'd beat them all. It would be like playing a bunch of kindergartners.

I repeat: I'm the best in the game. And probably in all the other major sports, too.

No athlete on earth is as good at League of Legends as I am.

BREAKING NEWS: JOEL ANTHONY TO DETROIT!!!!!!!!

Don't bother playing the season. Detroit just won the title. Crown their ass!

Anthony has been on 2 of the last 3 championship teams. The Heat traded him last season and couldn't win it. Pistons just got the difference maker!

Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin said his frustration over continued hard fouls "probably" will result in him retaliating if it continues.

Griffin and Utah Jazz forward Trevor Booker had to be separated in the third quarter of the Clippers' 101-97 preseason win Friday when Booker fouled Griffin hard in midair. After they exchanged words, Griffin grabbed the back of Booker's head before both players were pulled back by their teammates.

"I was going to, but then I thought, 'It's preseason,'" Griffin said when asked about retaliating. "It's not worth it. That's not the person I want to waste it on."

When Griffin was asked if he feels close to retaliating if the hard fouls continue, he said, "Yeah, probably. I'm not going to do it for no reason or if it's not warranted and I didn't feel that was."

It was a hard foul, but nothing to get worked up over. Booker made a play on the ball first.

Blake needs to quit being a prima donna. This is the big boy's league. He's not the only one in the league who gets fouled hard.

Shit, if Griffin had to go through half of what Shaq did for his entire career, he'd have retired already.

Blake needs to punch someone in the face, get suspended for a few games to get his point across

See I see it differently. The reason guys go at him is because they know they can get him out of his game and get him to retaliate. Refs always watch for the retaliation because they've come to expect it.

Honestly the best recourse is to keep going to the refs and have your coach do the same. As soon as you take matters into your own hands you end up hurting your team.

Either that, or he's gonna get Bitch slapped every game, all Season.

If the Refs and the NBA are not doing anything to deter it, he will have to man up.

On the flipside....

This is what happens when you try to embarass guys everytime you touch the ball.

 

[lakersrule]

Blake is a big elite athlete. There are going to be big collisions when defenders meet him in the air. He's going to have to deal with hard contact all the time. He doles it out too. Defenders are going to deliberately foul him. He's not the only player in the league like that. He needs to quit being such a prima donna like he's too great to be touched. Losing your cool and punching someone in the face isn't going to stop defenders from fouling you. That Booker foul was hardly vicious.

season is 1 week away

Hell yeah!! I can't wait. It seems to have been a longer offseason than normal.

It seems to have been a longer offseason than normal.

For you Lakers fans it was a longer offseason than normal.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah considering the Lakers season unofficially finished in early march
