    Is it me or is Jarrett Jack playing really bad this season. Everytime I watch the Cavs, he plays like shit!

    Damn, I love that the Knicks beat the Heat, then turn around and lose to the Bobcats. Every team loses and wins games they shouldn't.

    Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
    There is a third team involved in the Boston-Golden State deal that will likely provide Boston with a draft pick.

    Dubs just solidified their bench. Nice move for them.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    They're very similar players. High chucking quotient, low efficiency, and irrationally confident. Not sure how this helps them. Unless they plan on running Crawful as a PG with Curry off ball to replicate what they had with Jack... that won't work. I see this much ado about nothing.

    As far as what we can/need to do, if we can pry Dre to replace Mo and further develop TRob into a serviceable big, we should be better than GS.

    There can only be one Crawful, and Jordan ain't it.

    They're both the same to me. Only difference is Jordan dunked on Bron and the evidence destroyed.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    This trade is huge for GS. The problem they have is that their starters, when playing together, are much better that the sum of their parts. As of a couple days ago, lineups with both curry and igoudala had a net rating of +20 or something like that so Jackson plays them together and then does a hockey style substitution and puts in a full bench lineup, giving up the lead that the starters built. The offense gets stagnant with that lineup since there is no one on the floor who can can handle or create for others and barnes, who should be able to create his own shot, has played like shit this year. Crawford is a chucker but at least he can get his own shot off and carry some of the load for 15 minutes when there is no one else to score. His chucking should make barnes more effective as well since he won't be the focal point of the bench mob anymore. And I was surprised to see that Crawford seems to be a decent playmaker this year averaging 6.7 asst/36 and a very high assist %, although I suspect that has a lot to do with Stevens and with the freedom Jackson will give him he will go back to his chucking way. Either way, I'm fine with it; it is exactly what the bench needs.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    Look for LeBron and Wade to combine to shoot 40 FTs in the second half. No way can the league have their media darlings getting pummeled by a sub-.500 team of nobodies.

    Now 56-26! and MIA hasn't shot a FT - yet!

    Quick, what's his PER? He's 1-1 with 1 ORB and 2 PTS in 30 seconds. That's 144 PTS/36 and 72 REB/36. The guy is a BEAST!

    The Wizards have more points in the first half tonight (69) then they had in the whole game against Indiana the other night.

    Starting Oden in the 3rd.

    MIA is down 21, tying the largest halftime deficit the Big Three have ever had.
