Took Stacey home this AM......got the bed to myself.......can stretch out.

 

[DJ Fieri]

DJ out.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

6 teams below their .328 winning percentage, sunshine......you had me nervous.......for a second.

It's the Cavs.

Knowing their lotto ball luck, it will be #1 again.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Jazz!

 

[Bolts]

Jazz can't be stopped.

Wow such a disrespectful thing for the Warriors to do. Having their players coach the game against the suns is the ultimate sign of disrespect.

Hope Kerr know he won't always have a championship caliber team.

What goes around comes around .

Jazz beat the Spurs without Lamarcus Aldridge, Rudy Gay, and Kawahi Leonard

Thought we might get to steal one without a bunch of players, but it was not to be.
I need a game program to learn the names of these dudes playing sometimes.

Sucks to be so injured. The expected all-star frontcourt has still only played 7 total games together.
But, they should all be back according to rumors soon.

Nobody is going to want to see them in the first round if all their players are back...

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I think Aldridge will be back sometime after the all-star break
And they play 9 of 12 at home after the break....so there is some relief on the horizon.

But, jeez it looks like Parker and/or Ginobili will not play tomorrow as well with LA, Gay, Leonard
Denver can sell those tickets for $5 to come and see Davis Bertans/Joffrey Lauverne/Bryn Forbes.


Oddly enough, Aldridge is going to play in the all-star game despite being too hurt to play now. Seems stupid.

Yeah Young stock seems to be dropping. Going to need a big tournament to increase his stock IMO. Looking like he will go in the 2nd half of the top 10 currently

I don't think his stock is dropping because the NBA scouts haven't ever had him that high. At least none that I've read or trust. Everything I've seen is he cracks the bottom half of the Top 10 but no further, which is still great considering he was an afterthought when the season started. But he's got enough flaws to where I can't see any team picking higher than what he is now. And as a PG prospect, I actually like Collin Sexton better.

Nick Young though.

Suns coach said he had no problem with it after the game, for whatever that's worth.

 

[msgkings322]

This is kinda fun:

Curry's 22 points gave him and his father, Dell, a combined 28,883 points in their careers, tying Rick and Brent Barry for the third-most ever by a father-son combination, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Joe and Kobe Bryant have the most of any duo with 38,895 (33,643 from Kobe).

You drink beer, @Mecca or the typical girly girl drinks?

@Mecca gets down on the Henny. Better you not ask how I know this.

And get another Anthony Bennett in the post-James era?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Steve McNair's son gave up basketball for dancing.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Jazz are doing alright without Gordy......not a great team, but a solid TEAM.

I didn't think it was that disrespectful at all. That's how certain coaches are.

We saw Wade and some other guys in Miami once in a while take over a huddle.

With the way the Warriors looked for the last couple of weeks, I don't fault Kerr for changing it up a little.

In the end, it was up to Phoenix to do something about it - they didn't.

Taking over a huddle during a timeout is one thing....to do it for an entire game is another thing

I guess we're in disagreement. Shaking things up from time-to-time is not a bad thing. As Kerr mentioned after the game, this is their team (the players). Coaches just nudge them in the right direction. I personally didn't have any problem with the players drawing up plays.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Possibility of James going back to South Beach?

Discuss.

 

[DJ Fieri]

NM. Just looked at their salary cap.
