Stern now says the reason the Spurs got fined was due to resting their players early into the season. Also said there will be no fines for teams who start tanking games or resting their players near the end of the season regardless if it fits the same criteria that got the Spurs fined.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8718626/nba-commissioner-david-stern-says-san-antonio-spurs-rested-too-many-players-too-early

[Droford]

Clippers putting on a show vs the mavericks.

Plus what feels like a bazillion steals

[screech]

I don't understand why resting players early in the year is even an issue.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

That's even gayer than the tv ratings excuse. C'monnnnnnnnn

[SammyG]

30k. Incredible achievement

[screech]

That's even gayer than the tv ratings excuse. C'monnnnnnnnn

If the game wasn't in Miami, there wouldn't have been a fine.

[screech]

Feel like I made that post already. Still works, though.

[Dragon]

Huge game for the Knicks. Wasn't sure what to expect with Melo out but they just beat the Heat in Miami by 20.

The Lakers saw the movie "Lincoln" together Thursday evening and Bryant joked that the players were surprised by the film's ending.

"I don't know if the guys knew who he was.... It came as a big shock to them when he was killed," Bryant said Friday, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.


LOL

[Hanso Amore]

I could forgive Gasol for not knowing since he is spanish, but man, come on!

[James Steele]

SHOCKER.

[SammyG]

Kobe was joking, Hanso

[owenbrown]

I'm sorry, but the PELICANS?! really?!

[SammyG]

My patience is wearing thin.

[Juan]

Dammit Jim

[owenbrown]

for God's sake just give the Lakers coaching job to Jack Nicholson... he'd probably be a better coach anyway

[James Steele]

Great insight, owenbrown.

[owenbrown]

I would say thank you, but I detect a heavy scent of sarcasm in that post

[Supreme Olajuwon]

shut your fucking face uncle fuckerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[owenbrown]

You're a cock-sucking, ass-licking uncle fucker.
You're an uncle fucker, yes it's true.
NOBODY fucks uncles quite like you.

or what happens when Nervous Ferret goes on an all night Taco Bell binge

[Bad News Gertner]

JAZZZZZZZ SHOW! Love how the rapist and his overpaid bitch brigade are falling flat on their faces.

[alvarado52]

I love how the Lakers answer to replacing a coach who just gave the ball to one player and let them do what they want was hiring another coach who did the same thing

[SammyG]

lol @ what's going on right now. god damn.

[alvarado52]

I'm at the point where I'm just sitting back and seeing how it unfolds. Dunno if it's Jim Buss or what, but these coaching decisions are ridiculous, and the Lakers may be the first team in a long time (if ever, since i dont recall a time) that fires two head coaches in one season.

So the Lakers end of paying two coaches a shit load of money for not coaching the team instead of making the RIGHT decision the first time.

[Emperor Smeat]

Should have kept the interim coach considering he managed to get them above .500 and had a winning record before the switch to D'Antoni.

Knicks kept theirs last season and ended up rewarding him with the permanent job after the turnaround and good record he achieved.

[SammyG]

lol Lakers again. lolololol. This is truly pathetic.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>What a game. Holy shit. These Knicks/Nets games have been excellent.

I really hope Stoudemire doesn't fuck up this chemistry when he returns.</font>

[Bad News Gertner]

Can't wait for the Lakers bandwagon fans to jump off. They'll be left with like 50 fans. Karma is finally catching up to Kobe the anal rape of that poor woman in Colorado. I hope he gets the helps he needs. He'll have time when the Lakers miss the playoffs.

John Hollinger just got hired as Memphis' VP of basketball operations

lol

[alvarado52]

think the Lakers actually keep D'Antoni around until seasons end?

[Juan]

I think they have to or they'll be admitting firing Mike Brown so soon was a mistake

[Shisen Kopf]

Can't wait for the Lakers bandwagon fans to jump off. They'll be left with like 50 fans. Karma is finally catching up to Kobe the anal rape of that poor woman in Colorado. I hope he gets the helps he needs. He'll have time when the Lakers miss the playoffs.

I hate the Lakers and their fans. That was so awesome in 04 when the Pistons beat them down. Sad thing is that most people in LA are shit fans so they'll just jump on the Clipper bandwagon.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

No way man. When you're LA Lakers, you're LA Lakers 4 Life

[alvarado52]

I think they have to or they'll be admitting firing Mike Brown so soon was a mistake

I think they need to admit that both of those hiring decisions were bad.

[Nark Order]

This season is incredible. The Lakers are god awful and it makes me so happy. So so happy.

So glad to see JaVale McGee doing well last night. Dude was actually contributing, looked nothing like he did with Washington.

[Skippord]

I'm convinced George Karl beats him with a hose whenever he makes a mistake

[DaveBrawl]

If that's what it takes I'm ok with that.

[SammyG]

2 in a row. that's a little better.

[ClockShot]

Ouch. Lin came back to MSG and opened a can on the Knicks. Still wish we kept him. :(

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Why? The Knicks are so much better with Felton.

[RP]

Paul George is my negro

[Emperor Smeat]

:-\ guess the Cs are going to be a .500 type team this year.

Lots of mini winning and loosing streaks so far. On paper the bench is the best since 07/08 but playing like the worst in years.

[thecc]

Why? The Knicks are so much better with Felton.And at a fraction of the cost. As much fun as it was to watch Lin, he wasn't worth the money that the Knicks would have had to pay.

[Nark Order]

I love that Dwight Howard took so long to make a decision, made the most son of a bitches choice in the world, then promptly started to be mediocre. This season is wonderful.

[SammyG]

I love that your team is so bad that you take joy out of making fun of a superior team. LA will be in the playoffs, and going deep into them. What will your team be doing?

[Triple A]

That's funny, most people consider it a wonderful season when their team is successful, but I guess if you're a Sacramento fan you'll use the term where you can...

[alvarado52]

Hard to get in a groove when your teammate takes 41 shots...

[Crimson]

Yea wtf is that..better not be a trend for Kobe. Nash deffered alot to him tho only his 1st game back

[Skippord]

Yeah shooting a lot better not become a trend for Kobe Bryant

[RP]

Kobe's press conference answers crack me up. Probably the funniest rapist ever.

[Emperor Smeat]

:cool: nice Christmas gift of the Cs beating the Nets.

Rondo and Pierce swapped roles with Rondo as the main scorer and Pierce as the assist maker.

[alvarado52]

I think it's hilarious that they said Rondo needs to become a "super star". Always considered him one, but I guess you have to do more than fill up the state line to be considered one and just chuck up shot .

[owenbrown]

[Emperor Smeat]

So does that make it 2 coaches that Deron Williams was semi-reponsible for getting fired?

He managed to get Sloan to quit/retire while with the Jazz because of a personal feud I think and recently spoke out against Avery to the media.

[Crimson]

wow what a cancer

[The Condor]

They always said he was a good guy ("they" being talking heads on ESPN), but it's looking like Deron Williams might be your run of the mill NBA self-important asshole

[Ruien]

He has been playing like trash this season, last season, and the last half of the season before that. If he does not turn it around sometime this year he will be losing his star power.

[Emperor Smeat]

Dwyane Wade gets suspended 1 game for kicking Bobcats' Ramon Sessions.

Wade and the Heat are upset because Wade rarely got punished in the past when it came to dirty hits and the NBA should be more worried about the Heat stars being fouled hard than what they do.

Cavs keep pissing me off, prol lose to da_kings tomorrow too smh

[Skippord]

Nuggets Show

[SammyG]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

[alvarado52]

ugh...why wont they just fire D'Antoni?

[SammyG]

No, that would be a terrible move. Keep D'Antoni. I've just had enough of moral victories. This team plays defense only when the game is already basically over, so frustrating. Feel bad for Kobe, a 34 year old carrying this team.

[alvarado52]

firing D'Antoni would be the best move the organization could make. He runs no offense, no defense, keeps our best bench player playing ZERO minutes for no reason while letting MWP chuck three's with no problem.

Seriously, explain to me why Ron Artest has the green light to throw up bricks but Antwan Jamison sits on the bench?

[SammyG]

MWP has been shooting well lately. Jamison is too much of a liability on defense. So fire MDA and bring in ANOTHER coach? Have the team learn ANOTHER offense? We're basically at the midpoint of the season, team can't afford to do that.

[SammyG]

and by lately, i mean minus the last 2 games, where he has sucked cock. I like bringing him off the bench at the 4.

[alvarado52]

Considering Pringles runs no offense at all, I'd say there's nothing to lose.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rockets suspended Royce White (2012 1st Round pick) without pay after he recently refused to accept his assignment to the team's D-League club. Huge rift between him and the team especially now that he flat out refuses any help or advice from the team and their doctors.


Danny Ainge continues his annual tradition of favoring dumping instead of developing rookies after it was announced Kris Joseph (2012 2nd Round) was one of two players the Cs let go today.

[weather vane]

People watch regular season NBA basketball this often?

[Ermaximus]

People watch regular season NBA basketball this often?

When there is no hockey to watch, yes.

[Emperor Smeat]

:cool: Cs beat the Knicks even without Rondo.

[Ermaximus]

I'd comment on the Bulls winning, but it was against the Cavaliers. No point.

[Emperor Smeat]

Carmelo Anthony supposedly is going to be hit with a small suspension and fine from Stern for causing an ugly scene after the game ended and had to be removed from the area by police.

The two were called for technical fouls for jawing with one another in the closing minutes of the game.

Two sources with knowledge of the incident said that Anthony, after angrily walking off the floor and through the visiting team's tunnel, went outside the Celtics' locker room screaming, presumably for Garnett. He then approached Garnett at the Celtics team bus but Madison Square Garden security, New York City police officers, team security and even Knicks coach Mike Woodson intervened before the incident could escalate.

"Two sources with knowledge of the incident said that Anthony, after angrily walking off the floor and through the visiting team's tunnel, went outside the Celtics' locker room screaming, presumably for Garnett."

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Mello probably trying to get Garnett's suspended since the C's can't play for crap on defense when he's not on the court.

[Emperor Smeat]

Phil Jackson has decided to stay retired as a coach to the point he told the Nets and at least one media source he has no intentions of ever coaching again.

The Lakers broke his heart.

Or, maybe someone (his girlfriend, perhaps) told him that D'Antoni isn't going to stick around for long, so he's just waiting 'til the summer when the Lakers crawl back and beg him to come back.

[alvarado52]

So the Seattle Kings huh? Well, on the bright side maybe that'll mean I never have to see Narc post in an NBA thread again.

[Emperor Smeat]

Would they actually be called the Kings or just restart the Sonics line like the 2nd Cleveland Browns in the NFL?

Remember some parts of the deal when OKC got their team was Seattle keeping the Sonics history and any new team would continue that name although don't remember if that covered just expansion teams or any team going to Seattle.

[Keith]

I'm sure they'd be called the Sonics, or Supersonics.

At least public opinion over in Seattle would be for that.

Looks like the Spurs Restgate got a lot more stupid recently since the team is currently being sued by a lawyer in Miami saying the team violated the state's "deceptive and fair trade practices" law.

Lawsuit claims the Spurs deceived Heat fans into paying high ticket prices for the game and should have told the Heat they were resting players so that ticket prices would have gone down for the game.

That has irked me for a while now. Dwight has become "Da-Wyte"

[alvarado52]

Also didn't know barrel rolls were legal now.

[alvarado52]

Dwight has been disappointing this season. Not taking the ball up strong, not putting the ball up towards the rim when he gets fouled, the turnovers and horrible free throws. I remember when Shaq would get fouled that ball was going up for a potential three point play. With D12, it's almost a guaranteed possession for the opposing squad.

[The Condor]

Fuck Miami. That is all

Bron Bron and D Wade are just...poetry. real talk, Reggie Miller (?) made a great statement during the final death dealing run...As flawed as the Heat are, somebody has to beat them FOUR TIMES to get them outta here. Lebron has been just consistantly phenomenal and Bosh/Wade have been inconsistent. I imagine that they're about to start tuning in and turning up their focus as The all star break comes and goes.

[RP]

That was Boss Mode

[Keith]

Kevin Durant is becoming the most unstoppable force in the NBA.

In a couple years, he's gonna give LeBron a run for his money in terms of who's the best player in the NBA.

The only way Kevin Durant doesn't win a Championship within the next 3 years is if Russell Westbrook keeps trying to be the star of the team.

San Antonio is amazing. Every season they get overlooked, no one even talks about them, yet they always end up with one of the best records in the NBA.

What happened to the Lakers? They are complete crap this year.

[alvarado52]

Bad coaching, bad front office decisions, Kobe going into 2007 mode minus actually making most of his shots, etc.

I have a feeling Pau is going to be the fall guy for all this and get traded, which sucks because it's a shit coach not playing him correctly but the FO is too proud to admit they flubbed on the coaching choice TWICE.

Oh well, maybe we'll get Josh Smith out of it...

I hope the Lakers fall off a fucking cliff.

Rose may be back sooner than expected. YES!

[Emperor Smeat]

Doc Rivers finally had enough of the Cs half-assing this year and lashed out publicly recently saying he wants a big trade done or to get rid of players who are just "dead weight" on the roster.

Biggest problem is all the guys they brought in this year are not producing or having career-worst type season while KG and Pierce are struggling a lot (PP more than KG). Jared Sullinger has been the biggest bright spot of this season and its due to him being the only one who can get rebounds well.

[Droford]

Rose may be back sooner than expected. YES!

According to ESPN, they haven't lost 25 games in a season since the 2006-2007 season.

Yikes.

[alvarado52]

Well, it's clear Dantoni isn't getting fired. At least not this season. Maybe it's time to consider the future and an entire rebuilding process. Curious what the trade deadline holds for LA.

[Keith]

There's a reason why D'Antoni no longer coaches Phoenix or NY. So I don't get why LA decided to hire him over Phil Jackson.

[Krimzon7]

TRADE DEADLINE?!?!?! THERE'S ONLY TWO THINGS WAITING ON THE LAKERS IN FEBUARY:

Unless the uniforms are awesome, I still think it's a stupid name.

Calling them anything less than the Jazz is a travesty

[Keith]

They could've gone with the "New Orleans Blues".

[Droford]

St Louis might have a problem with that

[Keith]

Fuck.

Odd timing though. If they were gonna change the name, they should've done it when they moved the team away from Charlotte.

It just seems weird. "Tonight, we're gonna have the Miami Heat facing the New Orleans Pelicans".

So amazing that the Lakers are awful this year. Warms my heart.

[Nark Order]

Whats amazing is how awful the Kings have been the past ten years. You'd think a team would get their shit together after all that time.

The last time I checked, we didn't have Kobe, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, and Pau Gasol. That's an all-star team. There's no excuse. That's why it is incredible.

[Keith]

They don't have Chris Webber, Vlade Divac and Mike Bibby either.

[Nark Order]

Well, we would've won a championship in 2002 but the league decided to rig game 6 of the Western Conference Championship in favor of the Lakers. Look it up, educate yourselves. There's a documentary on it and such. It's the one thing that Lakers fans will never be able to escape. They were given a Championship. It's a complete joke.

Why I hate the Lakers with all of my being.

[Nark Order]

Also, that wasn't an all-star team. It was just a good team.

[DaveWadding]

The only All-Star team Vlade Divac would make is the Flopping All-Star Team.

:| Cs blew a 26 or 27 point lead and then end up loosing by 12 to the Hawks. Time to blow or redo the entire team and just stick to whatever style fits Rondo the best.

Celtics rumored to want JJ Reddick from the Magic (good 3 pt shooter, decent D) but needs a 3rd team involved because the Magic are asking for too much (cap relief, young players, and draft picks).

LOL Lebron. I love him seriously. I cant hate on him at all anymore.

[MoFo]

Why is Dwight Howard in the all star game when he's fucking horrible.

[Nark Order]

This 2012 Lakers team might be the biggest bust in the history of organized sports. And its so amazing.

[SammyG]

How are the Queens doing?

[The Condor]

This 2012 Lakers team might be the biggest bust in the history of organized sports. And its so amazing.

Also on the list: 100 loss Mariners team with a 100 million $ payroll, Miami Dolphins the year Ricky Williams ran off to a tree hut in Australia, 2012 Phillies. More suggestions if you have them.

Narc, your team is moving out of town, and they have been bottom feeders for ten years now, please stop posting here

[Nark Order]

Why are you so touchy? Pretty interesting. Probably the biggest team meltdown ever in history. Your team is apart of history.

[Bad News Gertner]

Jazz beat those retard redneck Pacers. Good stuff. Brothers and sisters will be having angry sex tonight.

Because dude, you can't talk unless your team is better than LA. The Suns are probably going to have their highest pick ever this year & I'm enjoying it way more than I should (since the Suns also own LA's lottery pick).

Pretty much. Cant say anything. Pacers looked tired or something. Dont know.

[RP]

Indy has a pretty pathetic bench.

[Bad News Gertner]

Pacers should be banned. I'm gonna message Triple A.

Bucks win last night. FEAR the DEER

[alvarado52]

What's the Bucks record? I don't pay attention and only judge them based on Crazy Edgar's posts, which leads me to believe they are damn near undefeated

[DaveBrawl]

23-19, currently 7th in the East.

[The Condor]

For the Bucks, this year is sizing up nicely.

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Cs beat the Heat

:( Rondo out for the season (torn ACL)

That's right.

From now until Thursday you can only post in Purple and Orange and talk about how badly the Suns will embarrass the Lakers.

I hope you didn't jinx the Suns by editing the NBA thread? Also, you can edit this all you want because I am too damn lazy to find the right fucking colors.

<s>There's a rumor Michael Jordan may make a comeback when he turns 50 next month.

Is Jordan considering a comeback at age 50?
http://sports.terra.com/is-jordan-considering-a-comeback-at-age-50,4a8d3a427dd7c310VgnVCM20000099cceb0aRCRD.html


When Michael Jordan was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009, he said in part, "Maybe one day you'll see me play a game at 50. Please do not laugh. You never can tell."

Well, it's three years later, and MJ turns 50 on Feb. 17. He has reportedly been practicing with the team he owns, the Charlotte Bobcats, on various occasions, though he would have to sell his stake in the team in order to get clearance to play in a game.

Antoni Daimiel told Marca, which reported the story, "It's a good time to hope. I'm going to comment on a rumor that is not highly publicized in the U.S., but there are people who have told me ... there are many people who say that Michael Jordan, owner of the Bobcdats, is playing basketball very seriously ... he might play one game at the least."

Daimiel added, "A friend of my friend lives in Miami, he also has heard that information, that Jordan would like to play in at least one game at age 50."</s>


Phoenix Suns' Kendall Marshall shows excitement for upcoming retro jersey night


The Phoenix Suns are nearing their first retro jersey night of the season, and one member of the team can't contain his excitement.

Rookie Kendall Marshall sent out a picture of himself on Instagram sporting the Suns' black retro jersey.

The Suns are scheduled to wear the jerseys on January 30 against the Lakers and an additional nine times afterwards.

The jerseys are the Suns' alternate uniforms from the 1994-2000 seasons.

They are one of seven NBA teams who will participate in throwback jersey nights this season.
