yeah, Durant was all hype off of his oop dunk and Wade goes down on the other end and just rises up.

That Wade dunk was insane. And I'm about as far away from a Heat fan as one can get, but I'll be damned if this team isn't really fun to watch sometimes.

PEACE

Lebron with a nasty dunk too

Chris Paul takes 2games off, and all of a sudden he's playing like vintage Paul, I think some team will find a way to keep him rested and elite over the next couple years

unclebengi · Post by **unclebengi** » Wed Mar 16, 2011 9:23 pm

Yeah as much as Paul isn't what he once was, surround him with talent and it'll work out just fine for you.

OKC vs Denver going to be the best 1st round playoff series(though I guess all the east ones are meh, and the west 1/8, 2/7 probably meh too)

only problem is playoffs...play him home games and rest him road game except elimination game? (obviously impossible as hornets will play him every game, just in theory)

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling said during Elgin Baylor's wrongful termination civil trial Tuesday that he didn't know the accomplished basketball pedigree of his former general manager before hiring Baylor as vice president of player personnel in 1986, according to a Los Angeles Times report.

In response to a line of questions concerning Baylor's Hall of Fame playing career from Baylor attorney Carl Douglas, Sterling denied any knowledge of it, according to the Times report.

"I didn't know [about] that," Sterling said, according to the newspaper. "I hired him for $3,000 a month. I didn't really know what his role was. ... He was working in a mail-order company back then."

Sterling also testified Tuesday that Baylor determined his own annual salary and had free rein to do as he pleased with decisions concerning the coaching staff and player transactions, according to the Los Angeles Times report.

On March 4, Baylor dropped part of his wrongful termination lawsuit against the Clippers, according to multiple reports. While the former Clippers general manager dropped allegations of racial discrimination, he is still going ahead with claims of age discrimination against the team.

Team officials say Baylor resigned in October 2008 after 22 years with the team. But Baylor, who is black, claimed in his 2009 lawsuit that he was "discriminated against and unceremoniously released from his position with the team on account of his age and his race." Baylor, who is 76, claimed he was "grossly underpaid during his tenure with the Clippers."

Sacramento television station News10/KXTV reported Wednesday that a lawyer who represents the Maloofs received an application on March 3 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

That application gives the lawyer the exclusive rights to "Los Angeles Royals," "Anaheim Royals," "Anaheim Royals of Southern California" and the "Orange County Royals."

The lawyer, Scott Hervey, didn't want to say if he had done this on behalf of the Maloofs.

"I don't discuss client relationships," Hervey said.

Before moving to Kansas City, the basketball team played in Rochester and Cincinnati and were called the Royals.

Makes sense that they don't want to be called the Kings because of the hockey team.

If I remember right from something I read a while a back, the city of Anaheim will not allow any team to move into their city and call themselves "Los Angeles". After the Angels fiasco, they put a clause in to protect against that from happening again.

Now when I look at that picture it looks like Lopez can't handle Omer's swarthy eastern european essence. But yeah I watched it on and off at some shitty bar so I couldn't catch everything, my favorite Omer highlight was his up and down volleyball style block. Favorite quote from Joakim about Omer:

"We call him Cheese Toast because he likes a lot of cheese toast"

lol

Just watched the entire second half of this Knicks game and I gotta say this team is bad on defense and rebounding. So in the fourth quarter the few times they actually play high quality defense they don't box out and/or lobby for better position and they give up offensive rebounds including the monster putback by Wilcox to put them up by 2.

Seriously this team could use the hell out of a Chuck Hayes/Ben Wallace/Reggie Evans (specifically inexpensive because you would think they could have swung a Randolph for Brewer type deal for one of those types of guys. Jeffries is so inept on offense and not big enough on defense to make up for it and they ended up getting literally nothing for Randolph.

when d-rose was called for his 6th (AND OBVIOUS) foul, the tv guys went on a rant for the next few minutes about how rose wasn't getting superstar foul calls and that he was a superstar who deserved more calls blahblahblah

so visibly umad

Totally forgot the Pacers were playin the Bulls tonight with the NCAA's an all. Looked like a bad game to miss. Tyler was so pissed during that Celtics game...I knew he'd have a good bounce back game.

How did Collison play? Stat lines can be deceiving.

Props on Rick adelman tying Red Auerbach for that many wins. I hope he passes bill fitch next. Rockets are 10-3 since the all star break and breathing down the neck of the grizzlies.

I know they won't beat the spurs but if they can get a game or two that's a helluva season. Especially without Yao ming and all the injuries they had.

Nice win for the pacers. *nods head to reason*

can't believe tyler had the game he had while being guarded by noah at times too

i guess he's a legit 20 pt 10 reb threat now. wow. it's great to see his hard work pay off i gotta admit

and i also admit that i'm wrong about hating on that draft pick now i guess

You are a gigantic faggot that does nothing more than read box scores. You've probably seen Derrick Rose play maybe 5 times all season. You have the audacity to call anyone that doesn't salivate over the mere mention of Lebron James a "homer". Basketball isn't all about stat lines you dumb piece of shit. You are a faggot, and if you watched more than 5 Bulls games, you would see that Rose hardly ever gets the calls he deserves when he goes to the lane. This is mostly due to the fact that he doesn't flop around like a moron every time someone touches him. Dude gets hammered every time he goes to the rim, yet the refs don't call a foul cause he shakes it off, and most of the time makes the bucket. Dude should be averaging 20 fuckin free throw attempts a night.

And another thing, why do you place so much emphasis on stats during the regular season? Aren't you the one that always says that these games are meaningless? Oh, then you turn around and say that playoff wins are overrated. Make up your fucking mind you insatiable dick fiend. I'm pretty sure that you just form your "opinions" around whatever makes Lebron look better at the time. You are the worst part about the Sports Bar, you boring autistic fuck. I hope you and your loved ones die. Faggot.

People obviously didn't watch the Bulls game. LeBron > Rose based on what? Rose had 19 in the 4th including hitting 3 straight free-throws to send the game into overtime, something LeBron probably hasn't ever done. 21 FTs because he blows by the "defense" of Darren Collison and slams into Jeff Foster/Psycho T.

If you think that last foul on Rose was legit, you're insane. McRoberts arms go straight up to the rim while the ball stays on the floor. That's because he hits the ball and not his hands. It was a strip and considering the traffic that pass was made in, it was bullshit.

If you wanna talk about how Rose shouldn't have been at the line for 3 at the end, then I would probably agree with you. It was a make-up call/anticipated foul more than anything.

i thought rose got his inside left arm and hooked it as he stripped

close

but yea that 3 ft was make up
