    Clips picked up Shaun Livingston off waivers. Why didn't we?

    Cavs did. They have a worst record so even if we put in a waiver claim Cavs get him.

    Anyone else catch the Rockets/Bulls game tonight? It was probably the most uninteresting game out of the bunch, but it was the only one I was able to catch with all the holiday stuff, and I'll be damned if Omer Asik did not look worth the money he got paid this offseason.

    Houston is on a real roll right now. Tonight against the Bulls, the Rockets got out to a 20-30 pt lead and sorta just toyed with them. They also just blew out my Grizz, in a game where the Grizz actually played a hell of a game, but Houston just played almost the perfect game.

    A lot of credit should be given to Harden and Lin, but Asik has really been playing at an All-Star level as of late. Who knows if he'll keep this up, but the way he's played his last few games, and especially the way he's developed offensively over the course of the season, his contract is actually looking like a steal. 20 pts, 18 rbs, 3 blocks tonight in a very efficient performance...

    It's funny... we all thought the Rockets struck out this offseason, but all of their moves have actually panned out way better than expected. I figured they'd be in store for a rough rebuilding process, but now they've got one of the league's best young cores with Harden-Asik-Lin... three other contenders' castaways.

    I actually thought Houston was doing a good job rebuilding even without Harden, now with and Asik's improvements, I'm very impressed.

    The team that really got fucked this off season is Orlando.

    Wow, the Clipp show pulled one out of the fire, tonight. They're certainly legit.

    But nobody in LA knows !

    screwed again by a superstar center leaving for nothing. My solution is that we pay the players twice as much money but on non-guaranteed contracts. That would solve a lot of issues with the NBA.

    If the Wolves had signed Batum, he would be their best player. The Wolves are garbage.

    Luis Scola had his best game of the year against Kevin Love and the Timberwolves

    I'm shocked

    Wouldn't his previous retirement be considered last year, not two years ago?

    Has David Lee leapfrogged Kevin Love as Best White American Power Forward? Serious question. They've certainly made big moves in opposite directions this season.

    So Royce White refuses to be sent down to the D-League because of his medical disorder? What exactly did he expect when he got drafted?

    It's funny (but not funny "ha ha") because they travel everywhere by bus in the D-League.

    Wow, that's a pretty damn surprising move.

    He was a pretty forgettable player on some pretty forgettable Oklahoma State teams in college. He averaged a lot of points, but I always saw him as just an empty scorer. I didn't realize there was anything more to his game.

    In unrelated news, Quincy Pondexter is out for up to a month -

    I know he's only averaging 7 ppg, but that actually leads all bench scorers for the Grizzlies, and we don't really have any good replacements for him, so that's a huge blow to our bench.

    Daequan Cook would be a perfect fit, especially with the Grizzlies' struggles from the perimeter. The move makes too much sense to actually happen though.

    Cousins had a triple double tonight. We should try to get him. Matthews for Cousins and Brooks? We got JJ for free afterall.

    Love broke his hand early in the season and hasn't been able to find his shot. Love is still much better than Lee.
