    Kevin Love totally looks like he's trying to play his way out of Minnesota.

    Instead of crashing the boards and getting easy buckets he's jacking up three after three. A total stretch-four now.

    And blown out by the Warriors tonight. Looking at that winning streak, the only +.500 teams they played (going off of records as of today) were Milwaukee, Denver, and Chicago.

    He'd make a good LA Faker. Fit the system, and the douchebaggery.

    Meanwhile, Minnesota draft picks Ndudi Ebi (1st round, 2003) balled so hard in the Lebanese League last year that he got a promotion to Italy's Sidigas Avellino. And Tangay Ngombo is still filling it up in the Qatari League (which isn't, despite the name, a federation of trade worlds).

    The Nuggets are garbage. No one is afraid of them. They can't beat teams like Clips, Grizz, OR Spurs because they're a godawful road team. But whatever, personally, I don't think the Nuggets could beat the Kings in a 7 game series but I guess we'll never know. Neither team will sniff the playoffs.

    P.S. The Clippers are garbage too. Garbage beat garbage, so what?

    22 of their 34 games have been on the road and they're #1 in strength of schedule in the league. Still 2 games over .500. Given their very good home court advantage I expect them to continue to rise.

    Whatever. Hey guys- the Nets/Wizards game was crazy tonight. Get this- the Wiz were up 101-93 in OT with 1:27 left. I switched back to Blazers game. Next time, I check on the game the WIZARDS had just hit a three to send it to 2OT. In other words, the Nets went on an 11-0 run in 1:27. How amazing is that? Sorry I missed it. Nets went onto win by two in 2OT.

    Watching the Lakers/Clippers game on ESPN right now (the Clippers are acting like the "home" team).

    I get that some of the front runners...er..I mean, Clipper fans are secretly Laker fans but too stupid to know which team is wearing the Lakers uniforms, but good lord almighty jabba the hutt, their crowds are fucking pathetic.

    D'Antoni just dissed Pau Gasol. He said Dwight Howards has TWO hall of famer teammates.

    It's cause Sterling jacked up the ticket prices, basically pricing out many of the actual, hardcore Clippers fans.

    Is it really a diss if true? Pau might have been on the way at some point but he didn't do enough to get there if his career ended now imo.

    He put Spain on the basketball map. He's gonna be a HOF. I thought that was a slight by Mike D too.

    He should be in the FIBA Hall of Fame for the EuroLeague then. As far as I am concerned he is in the Hall of very dang good in the NBA but not Hall of Fame worthy. With that said there are probably guys in the Hall of Fame that I don't think should be there.

    since there isn't an NBA Hall of Fame, then I think the point's moot. It's the Basketball Hall of Fame. Sandro Gamba and Maceo Periera are in. Hell, Sabas didn't even have the career Gasol's had, and he's in.

    CP so sick. When he's playing hard in these big games, he's easily my most fav player in the league.

    He and Melo are 1/2 in my voting for MVP this year.
