View Full Version : Around the NBA, March 2011
Uncle Mxy 03-01-2011, 04:23 PM Charlie Sheen manages to channel both AI and Spree in one interview:
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/41824830/ns/today-entertainment/
He claimed he never missed a day’s shooting: “Not a day that cost anybody any money,” he said. “I missed practice. We’re talking about practice ... practice is for amateurs, you know?”
Sheen accused his producers, Lorre in particular, of trying to destroy him and his family by “trying to take all my money, and leave me with no means to support my family. It’s not rocket science, you know?”
Glenn 03-03-2011, 11:06 PM JR Smith, neck tats
Glenn 03-04-2011, 06:15 AM I can't believe that the Magic won that game against the Heat last night.
Timone 03-04-2011, 08:25 AM The Heat are not fun to watch.
Timone 03-04-2011, 03:59 PM Pavlovic to the Celtics, Leon Powe to the Grizzlies, Curry may or may not be going to the Heat.
Glenn 03-06-2011, 08:10 AM Arroyo to Celtics.
Uncle Mxy 03-06-2011, 11:58 AM So, Boston's "hot NBA wifes" club got hotter...
Hopefully, he'll play for the Celtics like he did for us.
Timone 03-06-2011, 12:04 PM What happened to Cato? Retirement?
lospistones 03-06-2011, 02:21 PM Kelvin Cato?
His career ended before the 06-07 season.
When we got him in the Darko trade I thought he still had some game left, too.
Uncle Mxy 03-06-2011, 05:09 PM I was checking to see if Cato was still in Europe or something like that, and ran into:

Uncle Mxy 03-06-2011, 05:54 PM Nets vs. Craptors went to triple OT!
LOL @ Amare talking about college.
Glenn 03-06-2011, 09:20 PM Bulls overtake the Heat for #2 spot in the East.
Heat players reportedly crying in the lockeroom. Seriously.

Timone 03-07-2011, 05:09 PM Anyone hear Mike Brown calling the Celtics/Bucks game last night? Pretty turrible.
lospistones 03-07-2011, 05:09 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKTb5Nfyh1o
Timone 03-07-2011, 05:11 PM I hear he does Bush and John Madden. I haven't seen for myself, though.
Timone 03-07-2011, 06:02 PM "The world is better now since the Heat is losing."
-Dwyane Wade
Dude always has wanted to leave the world a better place than he found it.
Glenn 03-09-2011, 10:17 PM An off game for Griffin and Clippers still go into Boston and beat the Celtics.
Wow!
Timone 03-09-2011, 10:54 PM Carmelo, game winner against Memphis.
Closer.
D'Antoni likes southern women. Likes them 3 at a time.
Uncle Mxy 03-10-2011, 02:04 PM D'Antoni likes southern women. Likes them 3 at a time.
Wha? Need more details...
Glenn 03-10-2011, 05:19 PM Actually pulling for the Lakers tonight.
Bleh.
Glenn 03-11-2011, 03:47 PM More good stuff from :stein:
After the Denver Nuggets shed millions in 2010-11 payroll when they finally dealt Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks, only seven teams are on course to pay luxury tax in July.
That the NBA's group of taxpayers is down to seven means the rebate teams under the tax line will receive is projected to be a mere $2.38 million per team.
Last season's rebate for teams that stayed under the tax line was close to $4 million, since there were 11 taxpaying teams forced to pay a collective $111 million in dollar-for-dollar penalties for being above the tax line.
The seven teams on course to pay tax in the summer, barring unforeseen payroll reductions between now and June 30:
1. Lakers $20.07 million
2. Magic $19.59 million
3. Mavericks $16.33 million
4. Celtics $6.37 million
5. Jazz $4.96 million
6. Blazers $3.79 million
7. Rockets $452,254
Total: $71.56 million
Per-team payout for teams under the $70.31 million tax threshold: $2.38 million
PS -- Multiple teams on the list above will have their tax bills reduced slightly by salary that players are required to forfeit to the league during suspensions. Current examples: Orlando's bill is due to be reduced $75,669 for the recent one-game suspension served by Dwight Howard and could be lowered further if Howard, as seems likely, has to sit out additional games because of accumulated technical fouls. Boston ($38,836) and Portland ($33,402) are also scheduled to receive slight reductions because of suspensions served earlier in the season by Delonte West and Andre Miller, respectively.
Vinny 03-12-2011, 11:42 AM Haha, sorry if Mxy already posted this....

Vinny 03-13-2011, 07:27 PM Milwaukee has 30 points with 7:00 left in the 3rd. Who do they think they are the Pistons?
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2011031302
Vinny 03-13-2011, 08:11 PM They're up to 45 with 5:30 to play. Bulls record of 49 is safe.
How the fuck does an NBA team only score 49 points in a game??
Timone 03-13-2011, 08:36 PM Remember when the Pistons held the Nets to 56 in game 1?
Remember when they shut Jason Kidd out in game 7?
Pharaoh 03-14-2011, 08:08 AM Remember when we were good?
Remember when we cared?
Remember when a "Fire Joe" thread started by Nugs was met with a chorus of "STFU" and not a chorus of "Fuck Yeah"?
Uncle Mxy 03-15-2011, 03:55 PM Donald Sterling and the LA Clippers are horrible:

And David Stern is an asshole:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-sternnba031511
What's this "593 fouls without a flagrant" thing? Was Van Gundy arguing he shouldn't be suspended for his techs because he doesn't commit flagrants or something?
Glenn 03-16-2011, 07:43 PM Loving the JB and Jalen combo in the studio.
Almost makes Stu tolerable.
Timone 03-16-2011, 07:45 PM I like JB.
Glenn 03-16-2011, 07:59 PM Since it's just us bros here, can I ask you a favor?
Timone 03-16-2011, 08:01 PM Um, k
Glenn 03-16-2011, 08:02 PM I'm trying to imagine a buffalo chicken menu item of some sort from Taco Bell, can you throw some concepts out there for me?
Timone 03-16-2011, 08:11 PM Yes.
Timone 03-16-2011, 08:12 PM BOOM SHAKAIBAKA
Glenn 03-16-2011, 09:38 PM I'm trying to imagine a buffalo chicken menu item of some sort from Taco Bell, can you throw some concepts out there for me?

DrRay11 03-16-2011, 09:58 PM He just gave you the answer. He said "yes."
#annoyingTeacher

DrRay11 03-16-2011, 10:00 PM yo know what, fuck it, just answer de question tim schwartz
Timone 03-16-2011, 10:07 PM Tired of these Dems thinking I should help them out.
Vinny 03-17-2011, 01:31 PM I'm thinking of something in an Extreme Buffarito Bleu Melt.
Glenn 03-17-2011, 01:47 PM I'm thinking of something in an Extreme Buffarito Bleu Melt.
You motherfucker.
I want.
Timone 03-18-2011, 12:14 AM My Blazers were up 89-45 on the Cavs after 3.
Glenn 03-22-2011, 04:55 PM Rudy Gay done for season.

Glenn 03-24-2011, 02:25 PM @ESPNResearch NBA Ratings are +27% on ESPN & +38% on ABC over last year
mercury 03-24-2011, 04:28 PM I'd like to see these rating compared to previous years... the net effect on the BRI for the new agreement.
Glenn 03-25-2011, 04:52 PM Hornets lose David West for remainder of season with torn ACL - http://es.pn/g7MYgo
Ouch, free agency, too.
Glenn 03-25-2011, 04:52 PM That better not help the freaking Spurs.
Glenn 03-26-2011, 02:55 PM Gortat broke his huge beak.
Glenn 03-26-2011, 03:09 PM @MGortat
Aw, hell yeah.
Timone 03-26-2011, 03:10 PM Wasn't he already on?
Glenn 03-26-2011, 03:16 PM I just found him through a RT by the Suns account. I can't believe that I didn't look for him before, but I wasn't following. His tweets look good, too!
Timone 03-26-2011, 03:17 PM Oh, I had thought you were already following him.
Glenn 03-26-2011, 03:30 PM Now he's talking about getting high on painkillers.
Timone 03-26-2011, 03:32 PM I saw. Judging by his tweets, he seems like a BIG KID.
Glenn 03-26-2011, 03:35 PM I was going to try to get him to answer me, but it doesn't seem like he does much of that.
Glenn 03-26-2011, 03:39 PM He refers to himself as "The Polish Machine", lol.
Timone 03-26-2011, 03:40 PM I wonder if he likes Polish jokes?
And if he has any problems with Matt Millen?
Glenn 03-28-2011, 09:04 AM Gortat broke his huge beak.
20 pts, 15 rebs, 3 blks and a steal yesterday.
Ho hum.
Joe Asberry 03-28-2011, 11:07 AM i vanted him on the pistons for the last 3 years, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn... Gortat + Monroe would have been fricking awesome :(
Timone 03-29-2011, 11:46 AM LeBron returns to Cleveland, again, tonight.
Glenn 03-30-2011, 09:17 PM Haven't seen it yet, but John Wall threw hands at Big Z, being called a "brawl", was it?
Tahoe 03-30-2011, 09:38 PM Just tuned in. Wall isn't on the floor. Z either.
Announcers just goin about their biz.
Timone 03-30-2011, 09:58 PM Lol Knicks.
No. Wall threw a weak ass punch to Z's side and Z walked him a couple steps back without throwing any blows.
