can't you go five minutes without putting black people down?

Jeff Stotts ‏@RotowireATC Hear me out. Mavs sign Seth Curry, Jason Thompson, & Gerald Green. Then roll out a lineup of Curry, Thompson, Green, Barnes, & Bogut.

have to love JR Smith   J.R. Smith apparently drives a $450,000 armored truck around New York City now

I don't really know anything about basketball. How meaningful is a stat like this? I know in hockey plus/minus is meaningless, but scoring frequency is so different in basketball that it would seem potentially much more predictive here. If a player is a plus player, does that pretty reliably predict that he is going to be better or more valuable than a minus player? Or is there a lot more context that needs to be considered before you have an accurate impression?

In my defense though, at the time I hated him for preventing Ku from winning the title. I think it's obvious now Ku was better in every way except him and he was that good it didn't matter.

Well, let's hope the notes of the meeting that birthed the NBA dress code never come out if this Levenson email is such a disgrace.

What happens when both teams are in total tank mode and don't want to win.

Sixers-Wolves have to restart because the teams were going in the wrong directions off the tip. Can't make it up

A few plays after this Drummond body checked Johnson and had words with Chuck Hayes. I can't think of two guys in the NBA you want to get in a fight with less than Johnson who is a Black Belt and has done MMA fighting or Hayes.

shouldn't oklahoma city ship a 1st, mitch mcgary, kendrick perkins and nick collision to celtics for jeff green and brandon bass.

 

it would be a hilarious reversal of that trade and would work out for both sides.

Like a blind man picking out his favorite porno.

 

The celtics orignally traded/unloaded kendrick perkins worthless ass on OKC for jeff green. This would fix that and also mean the celtics easily won both trades. Celtics add another pick and the thunder get back a good wing for the chanpionship push, plus a serviceable back up big.
