I'm tired of Whiteside being a non factor so often.
Is it him, the coaching or the system?
It seems that often times they go forever without attempting to get him involved.

I think it is all 3 but leaning toward the system more. Also I blame the players at time. There's been times where he would have a much smaller player on him and they don't recognize the huge size advantage.

Anyway, James Johnson needs to hit the bench. What a disappointment he has been. My god

JJ plays hard, but results just aren’t there like last year.
It seems like every posession of every game we are playing street ball.
Our best run offense comes out of timeouts.

 

[GNG]

I'm a fan.

He can really help them right this thing.

But, what do you think about him saying he wants a max deal?

This is a bit different than Embiid who has Super Star talent, tissue paper body.

You can't fault any player for wanting a max deal but he has to prove he can stay healthy.

I just don't get why he is still starting. I would start Winslow or Olynyk in his place

I don't disagree about the Kyrie for MVP talk... he's not even top 5 in that reckoning.

That said: Rozier is pretty good. His athleticism is top notch... it was always just a matter of increasing his finesse/skill/shooting. He appears to be making those strides..

I agree

You mentioned that Curry knocked up his wife and he was a stand up guy. Was there a hidden meaning there?

There's definitely a disjunction between the two. Can't put my finger on it.

But he's the Heat's max player and should be far more consistent. Spo's proven to be a good coach. But he does things with personnel that's confounding at times.

Not at all. I was congratulating him for knocking her up for a 3rd time considering how bad his wife.

I hope it is a boy so we can get another Curry in the NBA 20 years from now

Cavaliers Trade Rumors: JR Smith Reportedly Offered to Multiple Teams

NBA trade rumors: Celtics reportedly make Marcus Smart available for first-round pick

Good! Curry killer.

Good! Curry killer.

The Celtics are gonna dump Smart & a few other players & minutes before the trade deadline ends LeBron will waive his no-trade clause & gets dealt to Boston. Sure LeBron's a jackass but I wouldn't mind seeing him in Celtic green if it improves the chances of them winning another championship. He's worth tolerating for a title. Plus Mr. Flat Earth's reaction would be priceless.

[Wamu]

Can I use the fact I'm unsober right now as the reason for that overly crazy trade deadline deal comment?

 

[Bolts]

Kings play the Mavs tonight and Bulls Monday, winning those games would severely hurt their chances at a top 3 pick. Time to ride the tank.

He's a fucking clown.

Thought he learned his lesson when he went into the crowd in College.

Guess not.

He should have passed the ball to the hot hand or taken the criticism that he didn't, like a man, instead of punching walls.

Idiot.

I would give up my 61 years of pulling for the Celtics.

The Cavaliers look like a dysfunctional group of losers. ...
