    Supposedly Nate Robinson wants to try out for the NFL. That would be extremely stupid. He's 31, he already has the money, and the risk for injury would be much higher at this point. Very, very stupid.

    Has Karl ever gotten into it with other players? I wonder what Cousins was so pissed off about. Looks like all his team mates were trying to calm him down but he kept yelling at coach.

    Nah, they have the record that they have because it's a bunch of veterans and they've maxed their potential.

    Oh, it was Lebron/Kobe last matchup ever?

    Didn't know. Didn't care.

    Six weeks takes them through the end of the season. Glad we didn't trade CJ for him.

    I'm glad we didn't trade for him because he sucks defensively, can't shoot outside, and no interior post players lead a team to wins in the modern NBA.

    But yeah also glad we don't have an injured headcase who assaults hecklers at bars.

    1) An inside-outside combo with Lillard would be a different matter, however. Good on the court, and...

    2) Good off the court. He would have been a perfect drinking partner / bodyguard for Lillard!

    A high usage inside post presence would hurt Lillard's game. He would have to stop attacking, setup the offense and get players into positions. He wouldn't have as many opportunities on pick and roll plays. Hasn't that been proven with the removal of LaMarcus?
