Redd - knee

LOL@Skiles

This is from Saturday...


Redd played 39 minutes and head coach Scott Skiles said that he'd have no reservations about the number of minutes Redd plays.

Bill Walton retires from broadcasting — http://bit.ly/1ICFhv

That sucks.

He's committing his life to "service", so it sucks for you, GREAT FOR HUMANITY.

This is the greatest mosquito net drive in the history of the world.

No, what was great for humanity was ESPN getting rid of your boy, the screamer.

Jealousy is an ugly bitch.

Jealousy is an ugly bitch.

You're right. Must suck not being able to take Walton's chillness.

I'll give you a minute to edit that into something funny.

edit: that's a very mild improvement, try again

I'm as serious as an ankle turn.

Surprised PETA hasn't been on Ginobili yet.

Wait, nevermind.




Here's our take on it: To bludgeon a 4-ounce animal to death, it takes either a small man or a totally unthinking one-with no respect or consideration for lives humbler than his own. This is a time when athletes in particular need to be on their best behavior around any animal and show that they have brains and a heart, not just reactionary brawn.

Popeye Jones DUI

Apparently there is a Dan Patrick interview with Artest in the new issue of SI where Ronnie says he almost signed with the Pistons this summer.

I would have loved that.

I would have loved that.

You love when you get to say that.

Touche.

Flip still hasn't figured out Lebron or shaq, sheesh.

Dirk with a tidy little 29 points in the 4th quarter last night.

Reggie Miller "Once again, Lebron sacrificing his body for a possession"

Tyrus Thomas expected to miss 4-6 weeks with fractured radius: http://bit.ly/2qB8EF

I wonder if LeBron went to the Yankees parade today?

If we only had a thread dedicated to keeping an eye on his every move...

Budinger with 14 at the half tonight.

Also, Iguodala looks weird with hair.

Wow, I was all set to log out, but I heard the craziest thing while watching this Cavs-Knicks game. LeBron's going to be a FA in 2010!

WTF? Seriously?

Weren't the Knicks supposed to mail this season in? Cuz it looks like they are kind of trying or something.

Up next, the two teams I'm rooting for out West this season.

YES GLAN I'M ROOTING FOR THE SPURS (second)

They're playing hard, my man.

Look for my man Matt Bonner to have a big game tonight. 10 points and 6 rebounds.

Pops calls a 20 second timeout 22 seconds in. He's the man.

After watching the Pistons, Oden and Timmy look huge out there.

AI left the Grizzlies

^ not following

^ nvm

Shaq has been UxKa'ing Gilbert Arenas' fiancee.http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/oo126/theybf/Nov%2009/ea546ad3.jpg

LMAO @ Iverson.

Apparently it's a "personal" issue he has to attend to.

His fucking ego is way too big

"Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last"

RE: AI

Has anyone heard what the "other, unrelated personal issue that he's dealing with" that Heisley referenced over the weekend is?

I doubt I'll get a serious response to this, but I thought I'd ask anyways.

http://www.nba.com/2009/news/11/09/iverson.grizzlies.ap/index.html?rss=true

Supposedly, he's contemplating retirement.

Thanks, but I was wondering if anyone had heard what this undisclosed "personal matter" might be.

It's his bruised ego GD.

It's literally black and blue from riding the pine.

Have you ever tried to play with a bruised ego?

No? Neither has AI. He just takes his ball and goes home.

What a pathetic little shit he's turned out to be...

I thought maybe a family member was ill or something. (One of his kids?)

Could be possible.

Maybe they let him leave and he signs with Atlanta?

I doubt that happens but Woodson is one of Brown's Boys.

It would be a crowded backcourt with Iverson, Bibby, Joe, Crawford (and their rookie) but they could always play Joe at SF?

And Crawford/Joe have enough handles to allow AI to play off the ball some.

DAMN! If we had a real Coach last season Iverson/Stuckey as a backcourt could have been exciting.

Read some conspiracy stuff yesterday about the Grizzlies just signing him to trade him to the Knicks.

Things that suck, NBA edition...

Bruce Bowen on ESPN.

Fuck, he just went 3rd person, too.

What's his salary? I thought it was the minimum.

He retired and works for ESPN now.

He wears bow ties.

I'm know Bowen is retired now and wears bow ties...

You were talking about Memphis trading AI to New York, remember? I thought AI signed for the minimum. Wouldn't New York have just signed him for that in the first place?

Can't check right now, but if memory serves, I think he got $3m+ from the Grizzlies

Oh - well, that would explain why the Knicks didn;t sign him.

The wizards are apparently going to sign Earl Boykins.

Wizards DID sign Earl Boykins.

I almost forgot how small that dude is.

Good for him. He's an inspiration to midgets everywhere.

Memphis signed Tinsley

I guess they needed someone to have the "Wannabe Thug" locker?

And I guess this means Iverson in Memphis is done?

Jennings has 39 points for the Bucks at the end of the 3rd quarter!

Jennings has fifty. Holy shit.

53!

Move over Chris Paul, you are officially old news.

fifty-five.


Bucks win, Brandon Jennings scores 55 points.

The most fucked up thing? HE DID NOT SCORE UNTIL THE 2nd QUARTER.

He finished 3 shy of Wilt Chamberlain's NBA record for most points by any rookie ever.

I believe its the 5th highest scoring game all time for a rookie.

^^ Yeah that's some crazy shit right there. If that kid never does another thing in the NBA, his name is right next to some of the greatest HOFers the NBA has.

Broke Kareem's Bucks rookie record!

So he's mentioned alongside Wilt and KAJ!

Looks like he did the right thing going to Italy. I wonder if dudes will see how he's doing and wanna skip college too?

LOOKS LIKE STUCKEY WILL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR BEING A TOP 11 POINT GUARD

If only there was a way we could pry West or Okafor out of New Orleans....

At the rate Jennings is going, the NCAA ought to be VERY worried about getting 18-year-old phenoms in for a year of college ball.

Somewhere Sonny Vaccaro has an ear to ear smile.

Quentin Richardson is the worst player to cash in from the Steve Nash Sun's Era.

AI is DONE in Memphis, they plan to waive him.

Knicks?

Jennings

MURRAY

Helped the Bobcats to their 5th straight loss. Sounds just like the old Flip.

No shame in almost beating the Magic in Orlando.

They probably lost by about 31 points less than they would have.

Flip Murray, moral victory superstar.

Damn, I thought you were going to come back with an explanation about how those 31 points would have likely been scored by others. I lose.

I'm changing Gla. You don't even notice anymore.

Nelson to Undergo Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

November 17, 2009

Orlando, FL – Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson will undergo arthroscopic surgery Wednesday morning to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

Nelson was injured in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game vs. Charlotte and underwent an MRI Tuesday morning.

It is estimated that Nelson will be out four-to-six weeks following the procedure.

Nelson had started all 11 games for the Magic, averaging 13.7 ppg. and a team-high 5.5 apg.

Trade them Stuckey for Howard quick

Completely random but the 88-89 Pistons DVD set (http://www.amazon.com/Detroit-Pistons-1988-1989-Champions-Madness/dp/B000I2JDFS/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1258508842&sr=8-11) is on sale for 25.99 at Amazon. It's been at like $50 for the last year. 11 Disc set, I think it has the entire playoff run.

it has the ECF and the finals. It does not have rounds 1 or 2.

I wish they'd stop televising Cavs/Wizards games.

Maybe Shaq will have secks with Agent Zero's fiancee at mid-court?

I really wish the 1990 ECF/Finals were part of a boxed DVD. 1989 was anticlimactic after Magic was out.

Today is the 5 year anniversary of the brawl.

Just read a little thing about AI possibly choosing the Knicks over the Heat largely because he loves Atlantic City.

This could get really good.

Pistons lose ESPN game
The NBA announced that Detroit's game at Philadelphia on Dec. 9 will no longer appear on ESPN. The Chicago at Atlanta game will now be televised by ESPN. The Pistons still have three ESPN games this season and four NBA TV games.

Sucks for Chris.

Longtime Washington Wizards owner Abe Pollin has passed away at 85

Lots of interesting performances tonight.

Monster games from Camby and Monta.

Kaman was like 3-19 from the floor vs. Indy.

Bosh has shot like shit the last 2 games.

Jason Terry shot 10-11 today, made 4 of 4 from 3 point land AND got 10 assists! Dude was on fire.

And yeah, Monta Ellis had a great game. IIRC he shot over 50% too. That's pretty impressive when a) you play for GSW b) you always jack up a lot of shit and c) when you jacked up enough shit to hit 40+

He's logging serious minutes lately too. Played damn near every minute of the last 3 games! Either being showcased or they've come to the conclusion that he is their Obi-Wan-Kenobi

i was corrected the other day - Obi is the "Only Hope". Luke is not. Cause he has a twin, therefore he can not be the "only" hope.

Sheed still got it. I miss him...


Rasheed Wallace picked up his league-leading fifth technical foul last night for protesting a call after he set a pick on Toronto’s Hedo Turkoglu.

“I got a technical tonight for saying he’s a flopper,” said the Celtics [team stats] center, who later proceeded to skewer officials and floppers everywhere.

“Everyone knows (officials) try to keep games close and that they keep scouting reports on guys,” he said. “Let the Golden Child or the NBA Without Borders Guys do it, and it’s fine and dandy.”

Asked if, by the Golden Child, he meant LeBron James, Wallace said, “What do you think?”

“NBA Without Borders Guys” presumably referred to international players, such as Turkoglu and especially the ones who flop.

“This game is watered down,” said Wallace. “It’s watered down with all of that flopping (expletive).”

“I just said that (Turkoglu) is a flopper,” he said. “I didn’t use no profanity, and Derrick (Stafford) gave me a tech. Ain’t like it’s the first time I said it. But everyone knows that he’s a damn flopper. That’s all that Turkoglu do.

“It’s not like I dug my shoulder into him. He hits my shoulder on a pick and he goes, ‘Oooh,’ and he acted like I shot him.”
http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/celtics/view/20091128td_off_rasheed_wallace_flips_over_flops/

I hope he gets on his teammates when they flop.

I only wish that Sheed would've protested more when it was Manu flopping like crazy in the 2005 Finals.

That's a BS tech.
