    Are you saying the best way to defend Dirk is to make Rondo his Point Guard?

    I think part of Neil's plan is to not give the team cancer.

    Remember we got Rod Strickland for nothing mid-season?

    That wasn't Rod that destroyed the team. That was jealousy and resentment that was building over some of the preferential/special treatment some players were receiving. Rod's addition was the last straw and caused an explosion, but my understanding it wasn't Rod's attitude.

    That being said, a Smith addition could be detrimental to Houston, simply because Smith can be a selfish player and can play out of control for long stretches.

    You must be wrong because he wasn't working for his previous team. Don't you know how it works?

    Wow Lakers up 17 points over Warriors at halftime. Those fucks probably will end up losing anyway, but I hope I'm wrong.

    Dallas and LAC lost. Another good night for us.

    That was a steal. Man, Rod Strickland had a beautiful game. Too bad for his battles with booze because he had it all going on. Heard he was coaching in Russia

    No wonder the Lakers are winning. Kobe has been complete shit this season. They need to play him if they want to tank.

    Hilarious. Kobe sits and the Lakers become the 4th team to beat the Warriors. Lakers would've lost if Kobe played. It is known. They should waive him.

    I have a trade idea:
    Batum to Denver for Chandler and Hickson. All players involved have one year left, but Chandler would be an upgrade over Batum.

    Hickson may suck as a starting center, but based on the way he played in Portland, I think he'd be a pretty darn good backup PF. If he can't beat out t-rob or freeland for minutes...whatever, he only has one year left.

    I'm still firmly convinced the Rondo experiment shall fail!

    Mid season? I could have sworn we got him July 4th weekend. I remember playing golf that day and being jacked up about signing him.
