not the worst thing tho
Kendall Marshall in D'Antoniball is pretty fucking cool
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 4 January 2014 04:41 (ten years ago) link
idk, the clips are probably royally fucked. they'll be lucky to go .500 for those 5 weeks.
― k3vin k., Saturday, 4 January 2014 04:41 (ten years ago) link
bunch of games v east coast teams. if they maintain .500 they should be fine. Blake has been playing really well.
― Spottie, Saturday, 4 January 2014 04:47 (ten years ago) link
can blake keep it up with paul off the floor? i get some amar'e w/ nash feelings from him sometimes.
gonna hurt their playoff seeding regardless, though, west is too tight.
― Clay, Saturday, 4 January 2014 04:49 (ten years ago) link
yeah that's the thing. they ain't falling out of the playoffs, but they're not gonna be happy about falling out of the top 6 and having to play SA or OKC
― k3vin k., Saturday, 4 January 2014 04:50 (ten years ago) link
they're currently one game ahead of houston or homecourt in the first round, and three games up on dallas for the eight seed, that's even tighter than i thought dang.

was it his shooting shoulder?

the west is super tight

yep

god, JR, whyyyyyyyyyy
― Nhex, Saturday, 4 January 2014 04:55 (ten years ago) link
might take some time to get back to normal then xp
― Spottie, Saturday, 4 January 2014 04:55 (ten years ago) link
lol nhex
Grizz could make a run when Gasol comes back
the bargnani one WAS worse - they were winning and it actually took the game into double overtime - but JR's fuckup here actually did cost the game

he played pretty good his rookie season before paul showed up
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 January 2014 05:28 (ten years ago) link
also amare was a god before injuries caught up w him
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 January 2014 05:29 (ten years ago) link
yeah he could handle his own
― Spottie, Saturday, 4 January 2014 05:31 (ten years ago) link
once he got that midrange game it was over
― Spottie, Saturday, 4 January 2014 05:32 (ten years ago) link
even before, i never quite saw anything like it, like he didnt really have moves even hed just get the ball and dunk on anyone from anywhere it made no sense, he dropped 40+ on prime duncan in a playoff game, there was nothing you could really do with him
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 January 2014 05:40 (ten years ago) link
So smooth too

Those suns teams man, totally brought my love for the game back.
Nash making MVPs out of like q rich and Tim Thomas.

Early amare was incredible I watched this silly hourlong doc on him on like starz or epicz or whatever this summer and it's incredible he could do anything, he was basically never coached by anyone maybe Marc iavaroni showed him one or two things but that was still in dantoni ball, so the whole thing was get the ball to Nash or shoot shoot shoot
Anyway he was so good and sucks that he is a dried husk of himself
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Saturday, 4 January 2014 12:40 (ten years ago) link
Lol Knicks PR machine dropping stories off that they are "discussing" a Blake for melo swap only the twist is they are discussing it INTERNALLY
Breaking news celtics gm ainge: we are discussing trading Brandon bass and Phil Pressey for Lebron James Kevin durant and the #1 pick oh hey yes we are only discussing this internally but you all want to know right???

what about chandler and melo for blake
clips would be better this year, but theres no way you do young for old like that
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 January 2014 15:16 (ten years ago) link
the funny thing is melo is quietly having a monster season and trying really hard and caring a lot lol irony
btw kinda crazy how deandre jordan sporting a career average of 7 is leading the league in rebounding

yeah! melo is actually playing pretty well and i sort of feel bad for himthat he gets as much of the blame as he does
― k3vin k., Saturday, 4 January 2014 15:49 (ten years ago) link
and if i'm the clips i would seriously consider that trade, not sure how the money works out tho
― k3vin k., Saturday, 4 January 2014 15:52 (ten years ago) link
― lag∞n, Saturday, January 4, 2014 10:43 AM (8 minutes ago)
his rebound rate is up moderately but he's getting more minutes than ever and the clips are playing faster this year is most of the reason
melo is not that good also he's opting out this year so you're trading for 70% of a season and the right to offer him $120 million or whatever
no thanks
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 4 January 2014 15:55 (ten years ago) link
the idea of the clippers trading blake griffin for him is categorically insane

wow moderately yeah 20% good theory kev
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 January 2014 15:57 (ten years ago) link
just in terms of personnel the clips get much better immediately after that trade
― k3vin k., Saturday, 4 January 2014 15:57 (ten years ago) link
i doubt the clippers would even be better this year with the melo/chandler combo unless they also flipped deandre and totally flipped the team
and even at that chandler is such a high injury risk and if he gets hurt again then you've traded your no doubt franchise player for not even a full season of carmelo anthony and a great one-way player who can't even stay on the floor
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 4 January 2014 15:58 (ten years ago) link
you can't play chandler and deandre at the same time... that's basically the same player
they get much better this year but theyre getting two guys moderately on the wrong side of 30 classic trap
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 January 2014 15:59 (ten years ago) link
you cant play deadre and chandler together but chandler is much much better
and as little of a fan of deandre as i am i still wouldn't do deandre-blake for carmelo-chandler even if the world was guaranteed to end in august of 2014
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 4 January 2014 15:59 (ten years ago) link
it's definitely risky, but it also seems clear now that this clipper team is not getting to the finals
― k3vin k., Saturday, 4 January 2014 16:00 (ten years ago) link
but they have young players who are still improving and they can continue to build their team, they do that trade and its win now or bust
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 January 2014 16:01 (ten years ago) link
― lag∞n, Saturday, January 4, 2014 10:57 AM (3 minutes ago)
heh was this sarcasm
― k3vin k., Saturday, 4 January 2014 16:01 (ten years ago) link
jordan is right though that fit would become an issue, unless the clips play melo at the 4, his natural position and one he's thrived at next to chandler
