[Kris P Lettus]

Heard he might have tore his knee up again..

:(

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hope he gets knee cancer.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Also LOL @ StickyTrickyDaminator getting mad because his boy was acting like an asshole and karma caught up with him.

[Emperor Smeat]

X-rays showed no fracture or anything wrong with the knee itself but it looks like he sprained a muscle on the lower leg itself since he was able to walk around and bend the knee in the lockeroom.

Celtics won't know the details or how bad it is until KG goes back to Boston for more tests.

Heard this play live on the radio last night (The Kings are the "local" team") and everyone was going nuts.

Nice shot by Tyreke

[SammyG]

Have always voiced how much I love Tyreke

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Looks like he got fouled on the shot as well. Sucks for Mayo cause his shot was nasty too.

[Juan]

"If you don'r like that, you don't like NBA basketball!!"

Vintage Grant Napear

[Supreme Olajuwon]

BTW Mayo took 4 steps on his shot. FOUR

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

BTW Mayo took 4 steps on his shot. FOUR

Who does he think he is LaBron James? He should have a free trip to Mars from all the traveling he does.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Shut up, DAMN iNATOR.

[SammyG]

LOL holy shit didn't notice how much of a travel that was.

[Loose Cannon]

lol @ Evans taking a bow. awesome

[SammyG]

Congrats to Mamba, 10th all time scoring now

Fucking box out

Was still a pretty good game

4peat

[Emperor Smeat]

ESPN is reporting that a 3 team, 15 player deal involving Nets, Pistons, and Nuggets is under way and could be finished soon.

Nets would get Carmelo Anthony, Rip Hamilton, and Chauncy Billups.
Pistons would get Troy Murphy and Johan Petro.
Nuggets would get Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Anthony Morrow and around 1-2 first round draft picks from the Nets.

The other 6 players would be low quality and only to match salaries so nobody else big expected to move in that group. Detroit could also void the deal if they have to give up a draft pick should the Nuggets want a draft pick from Piston and they don't want Petro even though they would be saving money in the deal so a 4th team could be added to the trade.

[SammyG]

Curious as to if NJ is expecting Carmelo to sign an extension or something. I'd imagine so considering what they're giving up to get him. Not sure if bringing along two past their prime players as the core of the team is really gonna entice him though. He's not signing the extension in Denver because of the team around him and its much better than the Nets. Can't imagine him doing that.

[SammyG]

Ron is retarded for putting his hand around that dude's throat.

The rumor on the potential deal would include Melo agreeing to the extension or else Nets would void the deal since it would make no sense to have him for 1/2 a season when they want to build a team around him. The other players Nets would be getting are more of salary dumps for Detroit and to help balance the contract amounts being traded around.

ESPN said it would be similar to what Celtics did when they got KG and made sure the extension was part of the agreement.

[SammyG]

LMFAO LAAAKE SHOWWW

[Supreme Olajuwon]

God the Cavs are so bad. Alonzo Gee with a team high 12 points lol.

[SammyG]

who the hell is alonzo gee. This was like the NBA Champs playing against a D-league team.

[Aguakate]

Dude, the Spurs are 32-6. Dang.

[SammyG]

Yyyeah.. I dunno how to feel about that... LA better get that 1 seed.

[Aguakate]

The Spurs always seem to play under the radar and do good. They never get the spotlight, even when they win the Championship.

[alvarado52]

Maybe because they are boring as hell to watch

[SammyG]

The Mamba strikes again!

[Emperor Smeat]

Bill Simmons had a good article on why Carmelo shouldn't move to the Nets but instead stay with the Nuggets or another West team.

Money-wise, he's already made over $75 million so its not like he's short on money and would waste 2 years of his prime on a rebuilding Nets team or go to the Knicks and have that team gutted to fit his $18+ million he'd demand for next season (current 2011 salary).

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/110113&sportCat=nba

[SammyG]

Bill Simmons is suuuchh a douche. I can't stand him.

[Emperor Smeat]

Knicks begin planning on a multiple team trade with Denver and Memphis as a way to prevent the Nets from getting him and to get Melo at a "lower" value since the fans are forcing the Nuggets to do a deal now.

Denver could get a 1st round pick from the Knicks (Knicks would need to trade Randolph to Indy), at least 2 players from a possible Wilson Chandler/Danilo Gallinari/Landry Fields list, and O.J. Mayo from the Grizzles.

Knicks would get Carmello Anthony.

Grizzles would get .... nothing (more cap space).

As dumb as the deal would be for the Grizzles, wouldn't be surprised if they actually agreed to it.

[SammyG]

lol Grizzlies. Sounds as good as that Pau Gasol deal. although i guess we did give them marc gasol.

[Emperor Smeat]

Nets drop out of the Carmelo Anthony race. Nets owner was pissed off at both Anthony and his agent for dragging and continuing killing the deal between the Nuggets and Nets.

Knicks now don't need to make a trade since they can just wait until after the season and get him for "free".

[Emperor Smeat]

Celtics beat the Cavs who only made the score much closer than 20+ earlier in the 4th due to "garbage time".

Bigger news was Perkins returned and played well with no signs of being hurt.

Cavs 1-28 in last 29 games.

[McLegend]

Somewhere right now RP is happy.

[Juan]

It was about damn time

[The Gold Standard]

So Thunder Heat game, LeBron passed up a wide open three and gave it to Eddie House for the 3. House made it, but it is interesting that LeBron did not try and shoot it. So much for liking the big stage Bron.

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Celtics 109 - 96 Lakers

Rondo had more asissts than entire Lakers and 1 less than rest of Celtics combined.

[Skippord]

is it really that big of a deal?

fucking dickhead, passing the ball

[Emperor Smeat]

Ron Artest rumored to want a trade out of L.A. as soon as possible but no other reasons or details given when ESPN said it on tv.

It could end up being the piece needed to get Chris Paul from the Hornets or at least temporary solve the issue Magic and Jerry West have with the current team.

[McLegend]

Philadelphia is still>New York.

[Dragon]

Can't believe Williams passed up that three at the end for that weak drive to the basket. Dudes shooting 50% from 3 point range on the season.

[McLegend]

He didn't want to get rejected by Thaddeus Young.

[Emperor Smeat]

Kevin Love set to replace Yao Ming for All-Star game for the West. Yao managed to be voted to the team mainly due to China even though he barely played so far this year.

NBA really needs to fix fan voting instead of just opening it at beginning of the season and doing nothing afterwards. MLB has the same issues as well but not as bad as NBA.

[Emperor Smeat]

Cavs now own record for worst loosing streak ever with 25 in a row and 1-34 since their 1st match against the Heat (7-10 at the time).

[Nervous Ferret]

lol, the Cavs have seriously lost 25 straight? I knew they were getting pummeled pretty consistently after that Heat game, but 25 straight? Good lord that's nearly a third of the entire season

[Splaya]

The Lakers have now emerged as the possibility of trading for Melo. The deal would be centered around Andrew Bynum. The best part about it: due to the collective bargaining agreement, if the Lakers didn't care about the Nuggets shedding payroll, they could do the deal straight up.


Wow

[Juan]

I don't think that is happening. I don't think all the guys we can/would offer even add up to the $20 mil Melo is worth.

[Juan]

I said we. Supreme's gonna be pissed.

[OssMan]

Cavs must keep losing for like 5 more days. Cause then they play the Wizards. One Streak Must End

[Juan]

Jerry Sloan resigns as Utah Jazz head coach. (http://www.nba.com/2011/news/02/10/sloan-breaking/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1)

[Emperor Smeat]

Lakers 45 - 53 Celtics, Halftime.

Ray Allen ties Reggie Miller's 3pt record in middle of 1st Q (17-12) and breaks it at around 1:48 left in the 1st (22-14).

[Gertner]

Yeah....not impressed at all with Deron Williams.

[OssMan]

Lakers 45 - 53 Celtics, Halftime.

Ray Allen ties Reggie Miller's 3pt record in middle of 1st Q (17-12) and breaks it at around 1:48 left in the 1st (22-14).
17 for 12? 17 points on 12 shots? what the hell do you mean? he scored all 17 points? the score was 17-12 when he tied it?

[Emperor Smeat]

The score was 17-12 and then later 22-14 for his 2 shots.

[Juan]

LAKE SHOW

[Juan]

Congrats to Allen for breaking the record, but

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The streak is over of course it was against the Clippers.

[Emperor Smeat]

Heat still winless against the Celtics (0-3 this season, 0-8 in last 8 games) but at the same time 3rd game in a row where Heat had a massive comeback and the Celtics had a weak 4th quarter.

[Juan]

SammyG leaves and this thread pretty much dies. For shame

[RP]

FRANK THE TANK! FRANK THE TANK! FRANK THE TANK!

PACE SHOW!

[MoFo]

Beat the Clippers, then lose to the fucking Wizards.

ugggggghh

The Sixers are a decent team.

[alvarado52]

Wow. Lakeshow.

[Emperor Smeat]

Kind of crazy week for the Cavs.

First they broke their loosing streak against an LA team by going into OT and was the same way they last won a game (no OT games in loosing streak). Then the Wizards broke their winless road streak against the Cavs and finally Cavs win their next game against another LA team.

Could also do the same with the Lakers who had a bad record against elite teams and thought about trading Bynum away. Then they win 2 games in a row against good teams and considered not trading Bynum away. Lakers then follow that up with 2 stinkers against 2 bad teams and a beating by Orlando.

[alvarado52]

Not sure what the Lakers are doing tbh. The talent is there, they just are playing like shit. Normally, its one of those things you can point to and be like 'hey, this is the weak link' and make a trade or some shit. This though? They just looked defeated. No trade will pull them out of this.

We're about to witness the most spectacular injury in NBA history

[RoXer]

Oh it was over the hood. Meh.

[OssMan]

Nothing JaFail McGee could even do to follow up that dunk. No hype at all. Wasn't even anything original that he did for the final dunk. Fucking guy jumping over the hood of a car with a choir singing, what the hell.

[Emperor Smeat]

Update on the Melo trade rumors:

Knicks refuse to change their offer or add any more stuff after the Nuggets started to ask for different stuff.

Nets rumored to have rejoined the trade discussions and no news concerning the Lakers on any potential offers or if they really had any offers besides the rumored Bynum package.

Right now it looks like if a deal is done, it won't be a multi-team deal and just a straight 2 team process since every other team backed out.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm glad that the Knicks aren't budging. Yeah Amare and Melo would be nice and should seal up a playoff spot, maybe even get them past the first round. But they'll probably wind up signing him in the off-season anyway. I'd go through with the trade as currently constructed, but no way do I give up Gallinari AND Fields like Denver wants.</font>

[Loose Cannon]

yep, I agree. Melo would be awesome, but the team is playing good right now and that's too much to give up for him

[Loose Cannon]

rofl @ Dwight Howard doing the startng lineups

[McLegend]

THE KNICKS GET CARMELO!

[Innovator]

Melo, welcome the New York.

[Loose Cannon]

:love:

[Dragon]

Obvious Dolan was in charge of this deal. Pretty sure the Nuggets got more than they even asked for initially from the Knicks.

Felton, Gallo, Chandler, Mozgov, Curry, Randolph, 2014 1st rounder, 2 2nd rounders is a ton. Oh well, extremely happy to to get Carmelo and Billups should be solid for a year or two.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, gave up way too much, but whatever. it's done

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>As long as they didn't give up Gallinari AND Fields, I would have been happy with it.

Wonder if this prices them out of Chris Paul.</font>

[Skippord]

TIMOFEY MOZGOV!!!

next stop NBA Championship

[OssMan]

lol Renaldo Balkman is back on the Knicks

[McLegend]

Should be fun.

[McLegend]

Yeah Balkman is an Isiah Special. I def think he had a say in this deal.

[Emperor Smeat]

Knicks definitely gave up too much in terms of this year but cap issues aside, the Melo move helps them a lot for next year and beyond.

The Nets must have had a good deal in place to make the Knicks rush since it looked much easier for the Knicks to pick him up for free after the season.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Love the amount of Knicks fans bitching about the trade when they just got to put two Top 20 players together.</font>

[Innovator]

Two All-Star starters on the same team, yeah that is horrible.

I hope the same Knicks fans realize that they can make a run now.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, I don't expect them to do anything this year, but if they can grab a few nice role players for the next few years and possibly Paul, then it'll work out. Chauncey will be good for another 1-2 years

[Hanso Amore]

I would always take Chauncey over FELTON. So that is a good trade off.

So basically they traded

Randolph and Curry for Brewer and cap room. Good Trade. Brewer is a good defender off the bench and Randolph didnt fit the system and didnt play.

SO it was Danilo, Chandler, Mozgov, a 1st in 3 years and 2 2nds for Carmelo and a couple of bums with expiring contracts.

SHIT YEAH.

Chandler is a good play. Melo is great. Chandler is going to get paid WAY too much this offseason. He is going to get like 12 million a year to be Shawn Marion Lite. And Danilo is never going to be anything more than a outside scorer, and can be replaced.

Knicks made a great deal, and definitely didnt "give too much up"

Billups deal also has an opt out next season, so they can go into Free Agency in a few months with the ability to throw big money at another player.

Billups deal also has an opt out next season, so they can go into Free Agency in a few months with the ability to throw big money at another player.

Even though I think they probably could have given a little less if they negotiated some the only one they really lose out on for the future is Gallinari. He definitely took some steps forward this year, but still will never be close to Melo. Chandler wouldn't have been signed for the price he's gonna get after the season. Felton was always a a short term fix seeing as his contract ends the same time as Billups.

It would have been nice to keep Mozgov, just for the fact that hes a big that this team desperately needed. But he obviously wasn't gonna hold back a deal.

[The Gold Standard]

There was no way to keep Gallo in this deal. Part of the reason we got Melo was because he is better than Gallo at the same position.

[ClockShot]

The Russian pushed the panic button.

Jazz send Deron Williams to the Nets for Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, and draft picks.

[Gertner]

Bye bye D-Will. Go fuck yourself on the way out .

[Hanso Amore]

Well that wasnt worth it lol.

Man, Utah is rocking some mad bigs.

Okur

Millsap

Favors

Jefferson

Okur is getting traded.

One year on his deal....Helllo....NY?!|!?!?!?

[Dragon]

Nets are gonna have to do some serious work to convince Williams to stay.

Guy was unhappy in Utah because they weren't winning. At least he was fighting for a playoff spot out there.

[McLegend]

That Deron Williams trade is very surprising.

[Gertner]

I hate D Williams more than I hate any player in the league. That little bitch drove out Jerry Sloan and has pissed and moaned half the season. Fuck Deron Williams. I'm SO glad we got Harris and Favors for him. Plus, the Jazz always draft well so those two first rounders should turn out well.

[Emperor Smeat]

Utah won in that trade by a lot. They got rid of a player who was upset while getting a lot in return.

Nets got a good player but the team isn't good enough for a playoff run next year unless the Nets do more with the roster.

ESPN is reporting that the Knicks ticket prices have risen a good 45-50% in cost with his first game being 90-95% more expensive than normally. The club itself didn't set the prices but that is the asking prices on stubhub and other ticket trading places.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Prokhorov is a fucking idiot. This move was done solely to try and take attention away from the Knicks (which it won't) and to sell tickets. They just mortgaged their future to get a guy who is probably going to leave in a few months. Completely unnecessary move.</font>

[Dragon]

The Nets being terrible should definitely help produce a solid draft pick.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Knicks could end up sabotaging their whole rebirth effort depending on if Dolan brings back Isiah Thomas as the man in charge instead of Donnie Walsh.

Supposedly Walsh is pissed off Thomas is taking some credit for the move of getting Melo and might not get the full power needed to complete the Big 3 that he wants and have them play the way he feels is the best.

Its strong enough that he is considering leaving after the season but money might convince him to stay at a lower role or gets a big raise and keeps his power/role.

The new CBA might be tough enough to prevent the Knicks from spending to get Chris Paul since it could close the loophole that lets you spend over the cap as long as you pay the luxury tax (last i heard its $1 for every dollar over the upper cap limit). Or if they get Paul, almost no chance at depth in defense due to lack of cap space.

[The Gold Standard]

20 MINUTES UNTIL STAT AND MELO!!!

[Dragon]

As a Knick fan I don't even really want the big three and don't see how its possible. Melo and Amare alone next year will be making 40M between them, the big three in Miami are making something like $48M between them for a while since they were all free agents at the same time. Paul or Williams or whoever would have to take a pretty huge paycut to come here and I just don't really see that happening.

I'd rather split the remaining money up between a couple solid players to round out this team than get another superstar. This isn't til Billups is gone anyway though.

[The Gold Standard]

There is a rumor that Melo and Stat would restructure their contracts in order to sign Paul in 2012

[The Gold Standard]

Who would have thought that the hottest ticket in NY would be for a Knicks Bucks game?

[The Gold Standard]

I was fooled. I thought the game started at 7 not 730....oops

Loved what Billups did this game. This team won't miss Felton at all.

Carmelo was definitely pressing at the start, but hit the big shots they needed at the end.

Definitely not the prettiest game, but wasn't expecting it to be. Excited to see what the team can do after actually practicing and playing some games together.

The team will desperately need a center or some big body to get some time from Turiaf. I knew D'Antoni wasn't gonna get any new people into the rotation this game but he definitely has to eventually. Shawne Williams should never be playing center.

Trade Deadline deals:

Grizzles failed in trading away OJ Mayo to the Pacers due to not getting it completed in time but NBA could still pass the deal.

Celtics trade Perkins and Nate Robinson to Thunder for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic. Going to miss Perkins but it made sense once he re-hurt himself. Another reason is due to Marquis Daniel potentially being out for rest of season.

Portland gets Gerald Wallace. Cleveland wanted him but the deal fell and Portland stepped in.

Thunder trades Morris Peterson and D.J. White to the Bobcats while getting Nazr Mohammed.

Clippers trade Baron Davis and 2011 1st round pick to the Cavs for o Williams and Jamario Moon.

Mark Cuban furious on a trade involving the Hornets and Kings which involved the Hornets gaining a player who makes 4x more than the players traded away (NBA owners pay the Hornets team salary). Kings got shafted by loosing a good scorer in return to 2 players that don't add up to what they lost in stats for the swap. The deal was Kings trade Carl Landry to New Orleans for Marcus Thornton.

UPDATE: Danny Ainge just killed off the bench the Celtics had and their "bigs" depth with trades of Semih Erden and Luke Harangody to Cleveland for draft picks. Makes no sense since those players are rookies and does nothing to fix the depth problems.

Celtics also trade away Marquis Daniels to the Kings for cash and draft picks. Daniels might be out for the season but this trade and the previous trades means that Shaq now is the full-time center for the team (Glen Davis is more of a 6th man starter for value).

Fuck that stupid asshole. I can't believe announcers praise that stuff. "It's all about selling it." He is trying to lie, cheat, and steal a victory. Fuck him.

Knicks are hanging in with the Heat, they desperately need a big man.

[OssMan]

i said who the hell's big man

[OssMan]

then bridget says i will drop the gun if you promise not to hurt big man

then james says that's his name, that's what you call him, big man

and then twon says man is that your name, he says yeah, we laugh, hot mess

then i say man why they call you that, he says because i'm blessed

[Loose Cannon]

loving this game right now.

[Innovator]

great steal.

[Dragon]

Billups has been huge this quarter. Such an under-rated part of that deal. Heard a lot about his age and how hes lost a step before the deal went down but he's been amazing.

[Loose Cannon]

Amare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :love:

[Loose Cannon]

fucking Patrick Ewing_style

[Aguakate]

Damn, I think the Knicks are for real.

[Innovator]

Alriiiiiiiiiiiight

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Amazing game.</font>

[Dragon]

Huge win. Knicks can be dangerous if Amare and Melo keep up this effort on defense. Nice to see them out-rebound the Heat as well even with the small lineup they have out there.

Team actually matches up decently against the Heat since Miami has no dominant big guy.

[McLegend]

I hate Spike Lee.

[Aguakate]

Same here. Since when does a referee stop and listen to a fan's complaint?

Fuck him.

fuck james lebron

Spike Lee is still cool because of Do the Right Thing

[Splaya]

A Heat/Knicks playoff series would be epic.

[Emperor Smeat]

Mike Bibby rumored to join the Miami Heat after voiding his contract with the Wizards who traded for him last week (sent Kirk Hinrich to the Hawks). Wizards get the instant benefit of having $6.2 million off the books and at least $20 million in cap room for next year.

Also rumored is Troy Murphy going to the Heat and the Heat potentially cutting Carlos Arroyo and Jamaal Magloire to make space in both the cap and roster.

[Aguakate]

Carlos Arroyo may be a fellow Puerto Rican, but he sucks as a person. He may play "ok", but ever since he joined the NBA, everytime he goes down to Puerto Rico in the offseason, he acts like a big star and whenever he plays with the Puerto Rican National Team, he causes trouble. This past summer, he smacked a member of the Mexican Team, just because...

...I'm all for seeing him get cut. Bring in Bibby.

Speaking of the Heat, I wonder what's the over/under that we'll see Pat Riley take over before the playoffs start.

[Emperor Smeat]

Devon Williams met with Nets owner and if the owner can get Dwight Howard, Williams will agrees to stay for the long term.

It also makes it a bit tougher for the Magic to keep him since now his value raises more than the rumored trade or leaving to the Lakers in the near future.

Troy Murphy also nixed the idea of going to Miami and picked the Celtics after accepting his buyout with the Warriors.

The Nuggets are pretty fun to watch.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Magic managed to erase a 24-point Heat lead and at one part of the game managed a 40-9 scoring run.

Magic ended up winning due to their 3 pt shooting.

Turned on the heat/magic game last night and in the 3rd it was 63-37....figured it was over....heard today Magic won 99-96 wtf?

[Dragon]

What a terrible loss by the Knicks.

Cavs have won 12 games this year and 3 have been against the Knicks.

[Aguakate]

http://i51.tinypic.com/10eeovs.jpg

This Miami Heat team has all the makings of a LOADED Superstar team who will have a first round exit from the playoffs.

[Emperor Smeat]

Carlos Arroyo set to sign with the Celtics as a bench player and for some depth at PG. Arroyo is mostly going to be used to give Rondo some needed rest and lessen his fatigue from too many minutes played.

Dwight Howard will miss the next game for the Magic against Portland due to his 16th technical foul on the season triggering the penalty.

[Icess]

Wonder if the Lakers can see that finish line :cool:

[Emperor Smeat]

Big win by the Celtics bench in a game that looked like another stinker similar to the day before to the Rockets.

Hornets fell apart after taking a 15 pt lead near halftime and then played badly in the 3rd. Refs were pretty bad the whole game for both teams.

Celtics with another comeback win vs the Knicks a day or so after Carmelo complained a bit about his team.

Since the trade, Denver is around 7-8 games over .500 and the Knicks 2 games under .500 although the Knicks are built more for next year than this year.

Cavs owned most of that game, pissed away a 21 pt lead then held on to win by 12 or some junk. Lechoke nowhere to be found during pregame intros because well, hes a little bitch who is hurt by the sound of booing.

The Pacers continue there effort to not make the playoffs tonight against the Pistons.
