thejohnnygold (29 September 2015 - 05:16 AM) FYI, it was media day today. Interviews are up at NBA.com
slick shoes (23 September 2015 - 06:37 PM) kind of late in the day but NBATV is broadcasting classis Rockets games all day today.
SadLakerFan (16 September 2015 - 04:37 AM) Man, as a Laker fan, I'm learning how little you care about the off season when your team sucks. Anyway, a quick moment to remember Moses. Still remember watching the 81 team as a kid - losing record, NBA Finals. I would have cried w/joy if they could have beaten the Celtics.

jorgeaam (15 September 2015 - 08:30 PM) So to celebrate his new contract, Montrezl Harrell saved someone's life on monday
thejohnnygold (14 September 2015 - 04:36 PM) A good article from Blinebury talking about when Hakeem and Moses used to play in the park. LINK
rockets best... (14 September 2015 - 02:29 AM) I agree totally. I got to watch his Rocket days and the man was a hell of a player. BIG MO R.I.P.
Mario Peña (13 September 2015 - 05:24 PM) Sad to see Moses pass. I don't remember watching him as a Rocket but I do remember his Philly and Hawks teams. He was the perfect man to mentor Dream. It's a very sad day for his family and friends and there are many.
majik19 (12 September 2015 - 09:01 PM) i just saw a post wishing Yao Ming a happy 35th birthday... am I the only one whose mind is blown that he's only 35?
cointurtlemoose (08 September 2015 - 01:17 AM) aaaah, thanks jorge
jorgeaam (08 September 2015 - 12:21 AM) Love it how Hinkie and Morey always target the same players, but hoping he isn't another Covington
thejohnnygold (08 September 2015 - 12:03 AM) Christian Wood has signed with Philly
jorgeaam (07 September 2015 - 10:32 PM) If I'm not wrong, he hasn't been waived yet, they have until october 4th to do that
cointurtlemoose (07 September 2015 - 05:39 PM) Anyone else surprised that Kostas hasn't gotten picked up by anyone yet? I wanna see that guy play somewhere
redfaithful (05 September 2015 - 10:48 PM) Llull line from today loss to Serbia: 30MIN 1-10PG, 0-5 3PG, 4-4FT 6AST, 1TO, 4REB, +/- -11
Losthief (03 September 2015 - 02:27 AM) this dude's gun fired and all he got a misdemeanor at bush lol: http://abc13.com/new...ush-iah/815795/
Losthief (03 September 2015 - 02:26 AM) theres more articles all over, but the jist is houston (and texas) doesn't really arrest for it, they just recommend you leave it in your car when they catch it. So seems dwight got lucky he was in texas and not cali or the NE.
Losthief (03 September 2015 - 02:22 AM) honestly we should just be glad they caught it...
Losthief (03 September 2015 - 02:21 AM) response: http://nymag.com/dai...n_airplane.html
Losthief (03 September 2015 - 01:42 AM) one bullet left in the chamber is diff than fully loaded and ready to go. Still stupid...but not like he was prepared for a shooting spree.

Guest (17 April 2013 - 02:54 PM) The Hand of Stern shall decide this! lol
Guest (17 April 2013 - 04:05 AM) Would be bizarrely interesting if he were unruly or out of shape or just did not fit w/ what Pop wanted, played no minutes, and "advanced" before being knocked out in the 2nd round haha.
Guest (17 April 2013 - 12:28 AM) Haha he technically already advanced the yr we beat POR. He was just injured. Be funny if he advances w/ Spurs this time but NEVER plays and sits on the bench :P
Guest (16 April 2013 - 09:54 PM) Anyone else getting rdy for some egregious playcalling against us tomorrow night? Hand of Stern could not possibly let the financial opportunity of HOU vs. OKC and LAL making the playoffs slip through his fingers lol!
Guest (16 April 2013 - 12:44 PM) Harden also got a few bad breaks. Missing that many open 3's is pretty uncharacteristic. But what else has been said is true too.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 04:37 AM) Yeah, if we lose to LAL, we become 8th...vs OKC. nba gods man, nba gods haha.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 04:30 AM) Makes sense. I've been in and out in watching this game. Thanks.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 04:28 AM) Why has he only played 14min?
Guest (16 April 2013 - 04:27 AM) So many jump balls this game...and we can't seem to win them lol.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 03:09 AM) Really? Earlier in the season, he'd get knocked and bleed so many games lol. Like he kept using his face to meet elbows or something.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 03:08 AM) Blood and sweat.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 03:08 AM) Him and Asik.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 03:03 AM) We're really choosing our poison among any of those teams though...lol.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 03:02 AM) btw...Lin has caught fire in the 2nd quarter haha.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 03:02 AM) Who knows if he'll be ready for playoffs.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 03:02 AM) Spurs are a great team, but kind of hurt and old. I'd take them. Manu is not just not healthy. He is just out.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:58 AM) I take back my comment about them not fouling Harden as much though. Harden seems to get the usual FTs.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:58 AM) Besides the one we eeked by OKC, OKC has beat us by 30 pts and 22 pts :o
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:56 AM) You might be focusing too much on the one time we beat OKC (and other times they stomped us). That win was like...our best game EVER haha and we eeked it out.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:55 AM) More importantly, they all know how Harden plays. Harden gets blocked a LOT by them and they're used to Harden's driving form so they avoid fouling him.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:55 AM) Lin can't guard Westbrook. No one can guard KD lol. Parsons is not the defensive wing he was last yr. Perkins is anti-Dwight for a reason, even if he's useless on the offense. And Ibaka will have a field day vs. our young 4's.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:54 AM) Lin tends to warm up as the game goes on. He says he loves playing 4th quarters, where he's best. One of our most clutch players.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:52 AM) Yeah, OKC dominates us in a matchup as well lol.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:51 AM) I don't think 10 man rotations are common in the playoffs. Stars play way more minutes and the rotation cuts down.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:50 AM) Faried will be ready by playoffs I believe. Maybe miss 1 game, if that.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:49 AM) Not OKC, no way. I think we're really overblowing DEN's skill relative to...OKC's.
Guest (16 April 2013 - 02:45 AM) SA resting starters, so GS looking better now too.
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:32 AM) Stuff the DLeague could in theory help fix :P
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:28 AM) But if TJones w/ his slow release and DMo w/ his funny one can shoot, I hope TRob w/ his pretty release can learn as well.
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:28 AM) He has a great shot form though. Makes me hope he can practice that a lot this offseason as well and develop a midrange game. He'd be much more deadly then. He can bully his way through the post or face up and take a shot -- that'd be awesome. Wishful thinking.
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:26 AM) TRob looks raw and unrefined. Looks eager to please so he forces too much, imo. I instinctively think an offseason will help. I don't know if it actually would...
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:25 AM) TJones injured his thumb some time in March I think, but even so, he had been in the dleague for months. DMo definitely needs to bulk up and practice his 3's some more. Lately he's missed a LOT of open 3's.
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:20 AM) I've always heard TJones lacked a motor, and it must have shown in practice for McHale to bench him that long. He did aight in the beginning of the season.
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:19 AM) TRob needs to become more refined. I'm not sure if offseason helps too much w/ that or if he'll always lack something a bit more intangible.
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:19 AM) Haha I think they're all hard workers. DMo just needs to work on his shot more, but more importantly, get his physique right.
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:19 AM) Sounds like old JLin to me :P
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:17 AM) TRob and DMo just feel like longer term projects to me. I am really curious to see how they are after a full offseason. TJones has really impressed after having his long stint in the DLeague.
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:17 AM) That steal and later pass were pretty good though haha.
Guest (15 April 2013 - 01:06 AM) Pretty good stomping of SAC. Watching part of the game, I felt really bad for 2Pat, TD and Cole...:( To go from Rockets to SAC's mess...
Guest (14 April 2013 - 08:23 PM) I think Simmons' prediction is the most credible, non-LA re-signing scenario for Dwight this offseason haha.
Guest (14 April 2013 - 05:18 AM) My dream scenario of us being securely in 7th seed at least...facing off against LAL for the final game of the season, where they need the win to get into the playoffs, but we pound them...seems like it might happen! lol
Guest (13 April 2013 - 12:38 AM) Well I guess we can't shoot worse...
Guest (10 April 2013 - 02:36 AM) Watching the last few minutes though, almost feel like refs were helping us win lol. So many controversial calls.
Guest (10 April 2013 - 12:34 AM) How was that Anderson fancy layup even necessary? That's why he misses so often...
Guest (10 April 2013 - 12:28 AM) I actually recommend this site -- none of the firstrow ads, and quality can be better on some links. http://nbaliveonline.tv/streaming/
Guest (09 April 2013 - 10:35 PM) Wait...does this mean Westbrook is in the top 6?! Westbrick ahead of TP? I call bs rankings...
Guest (09 April 2013 - 08:22 PM) But I also agree that watching the fallout of LAL not making playoffs offsets the difference haha.
Guest (09 April 2013 - 08:22 PM) I actually think them getting swept in playoffs will sting D12 even more, esp. if they get wrecked, which getting swept sort of is.
Guest (08 April 2013 - 07:33 PM) It is okay. With Deron gone, Boozer gone, Kirilenko gone, Okur gone, and Sloan gone...who even remains on the Jazz for us to hate? The mantle was not well passed lol.
Guest (07 April 2013 - 05:13 PM) That's because they both sort of need the ball in their hands. Yet it isn't impossible for both to be great simultaneously. Take the Blazers game for instance.
Guest (07 April 2013 - 03:10 AM) So...we don't want to play DEN in the playoffs, amirite? haha
Guest (06 April 2013 - 05:15 AM) Some nice garbage minutes from TRob, even if most of the stuff didn't pan out, you can see the raw talent and high motor
Guest (06 April 2013 - 04:45 AM) And GSmith being GSmith...bullying into 19 pts and 5 rebounds...and 5 fouls lol.
Guest (06 April 2013 - 04:45 AM) Love it when Lin warms up in the second half of games haha.
Guest (06 April 2013 - 03:41 AM) Can't be that uncommon if he is 21-9 w/ 20 PER, and an all star haha.
Guest (06 April 2013 - 03:39 AM) Last POR game was just like this too. Guess our #1 will just have to top their #1 player.
Guest (06 April 2013 - 03:39 AM) ...Aldridge on another one of his rampages lol.
Guest (06 April 2013 - 03:21 AM) Anyone see how much Sampson was boosting Lin's confidence on the timeout? haha enthusiastic
Guest (05 April 2013 - 03:51 AM) LAC vs. HOU, here we come! Show CP3 what team he should actually be on lol.
Guest (05 April 2013 - 03:51 AM) DEN prob will drop if they are out for as long as people think they might be...down to 5th seed even.
Guest (02 April 2013 - 03:41 AM) Still quite a risk -- see my thread post lol.
Guest (02 April 2013 - 02:42 AM) I'm a little surprised he didn't insert more starters back in when it got down to 5. As thenit said, bench looked tired. Lin for Anderson at least.
Guest (02 April 2013 - 12:25 AM) GSmith looks great at the 4, and he prefers that position from an article I read about him...what about those that thought spacing mattered a lot at the 4?
Guest (02 April 2013 - 12:18 AM) I call it the Kobe factor :P
Guest (02 April 2013 - 12:18 AM) I think we tend to see better ball movement w/o Harden.
Guest (02 April 2013 - 12:16 AM) our bigs are destroying them...
Guest (02 April 2013 - 12:15 AM) ooo that hook shot
Guest (31 March 2013 - 07:19 PM) tbf 2016, few on red94 act as if Lin is a star. You're spending too much time on clutchfans :P
Guest (31 March 2013 - 02:36 AM) Garcia I hear is a good locker-room leader. I can see that.
Guest (31 March 2013 - 02:36 AM) Can't make a rookie a leader though. Harden's personality + skills makes him a de facto leader.
Guest (31 March 2013 - 02:26 AM) Tonight, no one to defer to, though Asik had a great game and I don't think he ever really 'defers'...he plays hard in the paint 9/10 games.
Guest (31 March 2013 - 02:26 AM) I actually think having Harden sit out helped out guys play that hard. Normally, we have a defensive sieve at the 2 spot, and everyone, when tired or frustrated, just defer to Harden.
Guest (31 March 2013 - 02:17 AM) Even if he never develops a great post game, Asik is a beast lol. Watching him tonight, I was reminded of how much I love him as our C.
Guest (31 March 2013 - 12:24 AM) Supposedly a nagging ankle injury since our last game vs. GS. Been bothering him since.
Guest (30 March 2013 - 11:26 PM) Harden out tonight. Foot :( Anderson starting instead, w/ GSmith at the starting 4 as well.
Guest (25 March 2013 - 04:03 AM) Not if Bev plays the way he did tonight! I was quite impressed with his performance this game.
Guest (25 March 2013 - 02:34 AM) DMo was hitting foul troubles a lot, and TRob...I knew he was going to be benched when I saw this 2nd quarter midrange jumpers again and again...
Guest (25 March 2013 - 02:12 AM) Classic Harden. 6-16 yet you look and he scored 29 pts. Those FTs...lol.
Guest (25 March 2013 - 02:11 AM) I was having a heart attack watching this game at Stadia haha.
Guest (24 March 2013 - 05:16 PM) Without Gasol, and LAC and DEN right there, MEM will have a tough time taking the 3 seed. We almost certainly can't take 5th even if MEM lands in 4. :(
Guest (24 March 2013 - 03:17 AM) Wow, that's gotta suck for MEM...and for us too in a way. Doubtful we'll be seeing them in the playoffs as they needed to at least be 3rd seed.
Guest (23 March 2013 - 02:13 AM) TRob has been showing sweets moves, on offense no less, tonight.
Guest (23 March 2013 - 02:13 AM) Agreed on Anderson. He usually is pretty good w/ the minutes he gets. Maybe something about him in practice?
Guest (23 March 2013 - 01:58 AM) Smith's rebounding has been pretty good his last few showings, I think.
Guest (23 March 2013 - 01:37 AM) Next stop, an ability to make FTs :P
Guest (23 March 2013 - 01:34 AM) He gave them a 10% chance at advancing to the 32, which sounds small, except it was the largest % prediction for any 15 seed.
Guest (23 March 2013 - 01:25 AM) More surprised Harvard broke that many brackets last night.
Guest (23 March 2013 - 01:24 AM) Nate Silver believes. :)
Guest (19 March 2013 - 04:16 AM) Unless you're really banking on Bargnani having an off-season...he's atrocious this year. Guy is 40% FG and 31% on 3's. Not sure he'd stress a defense...
Guest (19 March 2013 - 02:44 AM) Speaking of the Celts...lol, about to see if Boston breaks yet another 22 win-streak!
Guest (13 March 2013 - 02:47 AM) Sad that if he continued to do badly, we would be wary of him (thinking he could not get better again), but now that he's doing well, he'd never leave LAL haha. Almost like a Catch 22.
Guest (13 March 2013 - 02:46 AM) Over the last 4 wins, he's averaged 24.8 pts, 16.3 rebounds, and a ridiculous 4 blocks! Both him and D'antoni says he feels better conditioned and physically able to run PnRs and rebound, etc. again.
Guest (13 March 2013 - 02:43 AM) Anyone else been watching Dwight Howard the last 5 games or so? He seems like he's healed up nicely
Guest (09 March 2013 - 08:43 PM) I didn't know Rudy Gay was overrated. I've rated him pretty low for awhile (relative to what his K is paying him I mean).
Guest (09 March 2013 - 06:23 AM) Too bad Rudy Gay can't shoot and is destined to miss the 16 footer.
Guest (09 March 2013 - 06:22 AM) Did Nash just miss a FT? o.O
Guest (09 March 2013 - 06:20 AM) I am sad when I see Harden shoots 3-17 (17%). That's so low. But then I see he has 11 assists, 11-14 FTs, 3 steals, and 6 rebounds...and I'm not as sad anymore.
Guest (09 March 2013 - 06:18 AM) Alan Anderson and his FTs hahaha.
Guest (09 March 2013 - 06:10 AM) Exactly. I'll take it haha. Sub-100 pts from both teams. Color be surprised.
Guest (09 March 2013 - 04:58 AM) I'd also like to see a more set rotation for our young players; some consistency. Hope for a blowout 3rd guys :P
Guest (05 March 2013 - 03:04 PM) I agree, though for different reasons, watching HOU vs. SA or OKC would be intense! haha
Guest (28 February 2013 - 05:32 PM) It's weird that our record is so bad whenever we get the max days of rest haha.
Guest (28 February 2013 - 03:25 AM) Well I'm a bit speechless now.....
Guest (28 February 2013 - 01:52 AM) Whew. Just another Smith-like knee bump.
Guest (28 February 2013 - 01:51 AM) :o Hope that Harden bump is not an injury.
Guest (27 February 2013 - 11:47 PM) Probably. Still hope he has a breakout game though haha. But yeah, shouldn't be disappointed if he as a mediocre one either.
Guest (26 February 2013 - 10:24 PM) DD, you and your clutchfans prowling haha
Guest (26 February 2013 - 10:18 PM) JG, for some reason, I thought you were going to say, every time DMo blocks a shot, we take a shot haha.
Guest (26 February 2013 - 08:48 PM) As some of noted, DMo starting against the Bucks. :o
Guest (26 February 2013 - 02:08 AM) Oh yes, definitely. Maxed out JSmoove = we are forever 3rd or 4th seed in the west (forever being next 4 yrs). MAYBE WCF one yr, when we're lucky.
Guest (26 February 2013 - 02:06 AM) I agree Rahat. Part of my reasoning for us getting Pau (if we otherwise strike out in this offseason) is to get some playoff experience for our guys, i.e. 2nd round at least.
Guest (26 February 2013 - 02:03 AM) I don't know if we can make 5th seed, where we might have a shot at upsetting either DEN or MEM to get to the 2nd round...but more likely 6th seed, imo. Our remaining schedule is very weak and home-friendly. Either way though, 6-8, we're prob getting trounced by LAC or SA or OKC lol.
Guest (25 February 2013 - 11:51 PM) Oh this would be, though I might start flooding it if I'm in the middle of a convo with someone in a thread haha.
