Nets are maybe not that good and Kidd is totally possibly not a good coach or totally possibly not but I've heard David Thorpe yap a lot and for a dude who gets a lot of run talking about hoops I've yet to hear him be correct

See also Sheridan, Chris

thorpe is at least kinda interesting if often off the wall, feel like he brings a perspective

motiejunas sighting

Mozgov is playing really well this season. Just had an absolutely bananas fastbreak dunk.

Oh god warriors are in sleeves and in home whites = total pajama look please make it stop before these things are covered in ads for MICRO

lol oops

covered in ads for MICROSOFT SURFACE brought to you by KIA and TACO BELL

i actually...don't hate these unis? 10000x better than the yellow ones at least

clips are down at halftime to the nets, sans dwill/KG/pierce

Aw man, J Oneal groin injury looked pretty bad (shoulda stayed in PHX!). We're gonna need Ezili pretty quick.

whoa the less talented plumlee just had a pretty sick dunk

he's more talented at volleyball probably

hold on

did waiters really break kyrie's nose????? what in the world

i wanted to make fun of the cavs for taking waiters fourth overall in 2012 but looking at that draft is was prob defensible

the cavs are complete mess http://www.ohio.com/blogs/cleveland-cavaliers/cleveland-cavaliers-1.275356/cavs-103-wizards-96-ot-jason-lloyd-s-final-thoughts-1.445539

The Cavs front office likes exotic stats right? I remember reading that's what was behind the Waiters pick.

pretty tempting to think that the organizational dysfunction of the Cavs filters down from Comic Sans.

btw, Marc Gasol has started balling so hard.

DRE

oh my god

The New York Knicks continue to dangle Iman Shumpert in trade talks, including a recent proposal to the Celtics that would send the third-year guard and Amar'e Stoudemire to Boston in an effort to obtain star point guard Rajon Rondo, league sources confirmed Sunday.

The Celtics, though, have yet to show interest in the deal

lol

lmao ok guys

its funny too cause theyre trying to trade their only good defender

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/822490593.gif?1384745639

wow thats actually a good and necessary play

best all season i think. maybe jeff green

"all season" lol

nba is awesome

lol for reals at amar'e and shumpert for rondo, who do the knicks think they are

sick oop

celtics prob think if they talk to the knicks long enough they can swap rondo out for gerald wallace in that deal

lol knicks swear to god these motherfuckers

if i were a nyer i would just die for so many reasons, mostly bc of economic inequality and high rents and shit but also bc both of the hoops teams are embarrassing

i dont know how u city slickers manage

Shumpert had secret offseason knee surgery tho

asik is worth like a billion shumps

especially since he had his high top removed in secret offseason surgery

Knicks make Shumpert available in trade talks, 2 days later we find out he had his knee scoped. Only the Knicks.

Jimmy Butler cut his hair too, what's going on

shumpert for asik is stupid for both teams imo!!

I think trading Asik for a nice pick is fine

asik is twice the player shump is, and the knicks iirc don't have any other players or picks to sweeten the deal. rockets need a 3 or a 4, not another small. asik doesn't work on the knicks for the same spacing reasons he hasn't worked on the rockets. i'm sure they'd love to stagger his and chandler's minutes to protect melo/bargs on D but asik is too good a player to be getting less than 30 mins a night

asik doesn't *really* make sense for the knicks but i mean beggars can't be choosers!

houston could use another 4 but they seem content to play small and considering how consistently horrifying their perimeter defense is, i feel like they could use shumpert

but the salaries don't match up anyhow. i don't see how the knicks are gonna be able to make any trade whatsoever.
