joey crawford was the biggest attention whore diva on the court last night.
Bryant’s out for 6 weeks with a patella fracture. I reallt hope this isn’t the beginning of the end for him.

He’s only 35 but has more mileage on his body then a normal 35-40 year old player in the league. Unfortunately the beginning of the end started when he tore his Achilles.
Kobe is done, when he does come back he’ll injury his other leg since it will have been compensating for so long. 48 million dollars later…
It’s always terrible to see a legend forced out by injury, I really hope that isn’t what happens. It’s one thing for age to catch up with their game and fans to watch them not be as good as they were, it’s another to just not be able to watch them, ever, at the twilight of their career.
Hoping for a Peyton like recovery from what seems to be doom and gloom at this point for Kobe(basically what I was hoping for through this entire achilles deal).
The Raptors offence has actually IMPROVED since Rudy Gay was traded.
That guy absolutely kills ball movement
The raptors just gave OKC their first home loss.
Holy moly. They traded away gay in an effort to tank but are actually better
Rude Gay suck.
check out this fight over retro Air Jordans
Anyone catch Harden’s play in the 4th?
6/7 and 16pts. Guy went off

Memphis were onto something when they moved him. He really isn’t all that efficient, so it doesn’t surprise me that the Raps got better. The Kings just can’t get it right with their cast of veterans.

Yeah - He plays like a star in terms of his shot selection and touches, but his shooting % is terrible and he doesn’t make his teammates better. He’s basically a worse version of Carmelo Anythony who himself is just an empty stat filler.
That being said he’s pretty good going to the basket.
Isn’t it hilarious though?
The Raptors? front office had visions of losing enough games this season to get a prime seat at the draft table in June by trading Gay, but instead they are on a collision course with their first playoff appearance in five years and their second division title in a decade.
When the Raptors want to do well, they miss the playoffs consistently. When they want to intentionally tank, they win the division.

Luol Deng has been traded to Cleveland for Andrew Bynum and draft picks.

I think this was stupid by the Cavs, maybe they’ll resign Deng and make it look good in the end but that’s doubtful. Granted they basically gave up a bunch of 2nd round picks, but why give up anything to scrape together a playoff push in a ridiculously stacked draft year.
A lot of undue hate thrown towards the Bulls but now they can give Butler and Snell more playing time at the 3 position, save a boat load of cash and the picks they received seem like a win, particular that Sacramento one if I understand protected picks correctly.
Quite frankly, despite his injuries, Bynum still has a load of upside and he’s shown he can still put up a 20-10 game. Let’s face it too, Deng was never going to re-sign with the Bulls anyway.
I don’t think the Bulls will drop off too much. Possibly Jimmy Butler may break out this season.
