    He has NBA talent.

    They aren't a contender but he would be great in NY.

    10 PTS, 12 REB and 7 AST in 17 minutes. Are DEN fans still bitching about Plumlee now that they've actually seen him being Plumlee?

    No, he doesn't. He failed last time he was here, went back to Spain for six years, came back and lost his job to T.J. McConnell. He'll be out of the league again soon.

    Nuggets fans seem to be bipolar. They are calling him the GOAT right now.

    Pierce's Celtics blew 3-2 lead in 2010 NBA Finals.

    It's surprising because there were times in the beginning of the year where they had solid defense.

    I know a game against us it seemed they did really well against us.

    But 50 points in a quarter against anyone is good. Best defense/worst defense. It's just a quarter... a perfect quarter, really. (well, they probably missed a shot, but still.)

    Best quarter ever was the first quarter vs Spurs in 1990. We led 49-18 at the end of it.

    NBA personalities have got to take some chill with the social media accounts. First Shaq goes full on aggro with his feud with Javale McGee. Now Mark Cuban is going apeshit because of something Bleacher Report posted about Dirk. The English FA has a penalty system over tweets regarding officials and other players. The NBA might want to consider it for players, owners and coaches.

    I heard that call by Schonley live and listened while they almost lost. I might have hurt myself smashing something.

    That's a Technical Foul... You simply cannot make contact with the referee like that.

    He finished with 12/12/8. He may have changed uniforms, but he's the same player.

    This may be one of those rare trades that works out well for both teams. Plumlee could end up being the perfect back up to Jokic, and Nurkic could end up being the perfect starter in Portland.

    Wherever Plumlee lands, I hope he gets a huge payday. He's a class act all the way who always gives 100%.

    Sergio's line so far in tonight's game against the Knicks:

    In 13 minutes:
    2 PTS on 1-8 FG
    0 REB
    0 AST
    o STL
    0 BLK
    1 TOV
    1 PF

    Not an NBA talent...

    Yep, but still a good pick up for CLE. It will let them rest LeBron and Kyrie down the stretch so they will be fresh for the playoffs.

    It will be interesting to see where Bogut ends up.

    Because he was. The Jazz with him and Boozer was better than any of Chris Paul's New Orleans teams. He just got injured a lot. His peak is what CJ dreams of being.

    Oh I'm fully aware of how good he was. However his injuries and ego killed his career.
