@  majik19 : (13 October 2015 - 09:09 PM) Apparently we claimed Arsalan Kazemi off waivers from the Hawks today... yet another undersized (6'7") power forward for Morey's cupboard.
@  Mario Peña : (10 October 2015 - 01:12 PM) If your part if the Red94 Fantasy Basketball League check the thread to vote for the date and time for the draft event. Thanks y'all!
@  jorgeaam : (07 October 2015 - 08:47 PM) Guys we need 1 more owner for the Red94 fantasy league, if interested please comment on the post in the fantasy basketball thread
@  slick shoes : (07 October 2015 - 06:50 PM) Kobe ranked one spot higher than Ariza? Is this based on legacy or...??
@  slick shoes : (07 October 2015 - 04:13 PM) It was hard to keep up with both the Astros and Rockets at the same time. Should be interesting on Thursday with the Texans and Astros on simultaneously.
@  Mario Peña : (07 October 2015 - 04:09 PM) It was fun to have the Rockets on last night! Right now I'm watching the Celtics versus Milan and Alessandro Gentile is impressive.
@  jorgeaam : (06 October 2015 - 07:47 PM) Well, thinking twice about it, I'd rather have him score less and have the team as a whole do better. Lawson should take a lot of his load off
@  jorgeaam : (06 October 2015 - 07:47 PM) Loving that, hope he hits 30 PPG this year
@  thejohnnygold : (06 October 2015 - 06:15 PM) Someone is feeling confident :) : LINK
@  jorgeaam : (06 October 2015 - 05:54 PM) 10 Teams done, will need 2 more
@  Mario Peña : (06 October 2015 - 02:35 PM) Alright guys, if anyone is interested in joining the Red94 fantasy basketball league we could use one more player to get us to 10 teams (or three to get us to 12 teams). Just check the thread in the Fantasy Basketball forum. Thanks!
@  thejohnnygold : (05 October 2015 - 06:23 PM) I use leaguepass here in Austin with no problems...
@  skip 2 my lou : (05 October 2015 - 03:14 PM) Hey fellas, I'm a rocket fan but I live in the heart of Dallas. Does anybody know if I buy NBA Leaguepass if it's too close to be subject to blackouts?
@  Losthief : (02 October 2015 - 02:24 AM) tks jg
@  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

    Bill Worrel called Dwight out for refusing to play pick and roll with Harden on air during last nights game vs. nets.

     

    What was the Dwights answer? I didnt understood what Dwight answered my english is not very sharp and it seemed Dwight started beating around the bush when Worrel cut him and said: 'Just concentrate on that(pnr), will you please!'

    I didn't see the interview, but I am just going to presume that this is not true--at least not in the spirit you seem to think it is.  It is more likely that you heard what you wanted to hear.

     

    Can anyone confirm/deny his assertion?

      Your guess is correct . I saw it, Bill was talking about PnR and he alluded to the sucess that harden and howard had in the playoffs running it. He never mention post-ups or anything like that.

        did i mention that he said something about postups or anything like that?...no.... he was just wondering why they didnt run that play more often and of course laughing all the time  he said verbatim WILL YOU PLEASE JUST CONCENTRATE ON THAT(PLAY)

         

         

        btw how it can be that you didnt saw the interview johny gold? it was during the game? did you listen to nets announcers perhaps?

          Because I recorded it and watched when I got home with the sound off.  

           

          Just re-watched it now with sound.  Bill said nothing like what you are implying.  In short, he said this:

          -----------------------------

          Bill: Gosh, after watching that last game the pick n roll that Paul and Jordan run is very good.  You and James run a very good pick n roll as well.  Will you concentrate more on that moving forward?

           

          Dwight: Yes.  We did a great job of it last year in the playoffs.  We need to get that more involved in the offense because it is such a good play and it gets everyone going and everyone involved.

           

          Bill: Thanks Dwight.  Talk to you later.  I like your suit.

          ----------------------------

           

          I don't know how you heard what you heard--apparently your English wasn't so good on that conversation.  He wasn't wondering why they didn't run it all the time.  He wasn't laughing the whole time.  He didn't compare them to Paul/Jordan except to say theirs is good like yours.  He did not say "verbatim" will you please just concentrate on that [play].  He asked if they planned on concentrating on it more moving forward.

           

          We try to keep things factual around here and frown on gossip, rumors, and unsubstantiated claims.  We prefer people cite, or link to, their sources and that those sources bear some level of respectability.  (We've literally had a person try to claim a teenage girls' facebook post as a legitimate source--it was not.)

           

          Perhaps, you can choose your wording more carefully instead of starting out with a click-bait title and opening line that more resembles trolling than anything else.  It would have been better to simply come in and ask about the interview on the whole rather than proclaiming you heard something that clearly was not said.

           

          Let's keep things on the level.

            You can read the interview now, thanks to JG. Yeah, they didn't talk about post-ups, but my point wasn't that. It was, once again, your misinterpretation of the facts in order to justify your opinion.
