    Harden is out 2 weeks with an injury. Time to see what CP3 is made of.

    IT returns against the Blazers. Forget the Celtics now bro, go toon up the Celtics with LeBron now and enjoy doing it.

    EDIT: he is not gonna play in the game against Celtics coming up and requested no video tribute from the Celtics Organization (because of course he did, I can’t even try and promote this guy without him bringing the Celtics back into it) but in a figurative way, go toon the Celtics IT. Lmao

    my fantasy team at 5-6 is officially doomed, if Harden starts missing time, he is the only reason I have 5 wins lol sad but true.

    You're done. Now, I am hearing it may be a month. Kiss those 32 points and 9 assists goodbye.

    Found it a little funny that King Of Flop LeBron James was so mad at Jusef for flopping on him. LeBrons big *** should be the last one upset.

    Rockets are up by 27 pts in the 3rd quarter. The ball movement has been unreal. Sit the starters. We got GSW on a back-to-back.

    Also, I suggest Morey upgrade Gerald Green to a guaranteed contract. He has been really good in these 3 games. Finished with 27 points tonight, lol. I didn't expect this.

    He wants to show off for his hometown lol his last run in Houston lasted what, 10 days? It’s redemption for his career and from his last run in Houston. He looks energized (as he should be) and hungry to play.

    Your team is way more fun to watch when Harden isn’t playing. It’s boring to watch him draw fouls and shoot foul shots.

    This game vs GSW is fantastic.

    Good effort. Didn't expect to win this without Harden. Gordon with 30, Green with 29, and Paul with 28.

    Give Gerald Green a damn guaranteed contract and let's roll. I've seen enough. We just added another guy that can average 20-22 ppg from off the street...smh.

    I want to see the lineup of CP3, Harden, Gordon, Green, and Capela against GSWs lineup. That is a lineup with 4 guys that can get their own shot and knock down threes. Can't wait.

    Update: Literally 10 minutes after the game, Morey waived Bobby Brown and gave Gerald Green the guaranteed deal. Steal!!!

    Yeah, fun game. But, Harden is the workhorse. This is only the 4th game he has missed in 4 years. We need him. I don't care how he scores...I just want the 29-32 pts per game.

    By the way, Eric Gordon is killing it. Pelican fans should be proud.

    Good win, but damn it hurts knowing we missed out on this dude by one damn pick.




    It’s okay though, Bam logged 7 minutes and 4 points...

    It's hard to complain about the Bam pick. I think he's a great fit and will be here long term. He is a perfect fit in terms of his demeanor and he is still super raw and we have the right staff to keep him developing. We need more athletic big men.. another pure PG would be nice, too.

    Anyone check out the box score on this game? Everyone is putting in their 12-14 points and staying involved. Good way to keep guys pushing hard when they all are getting an opportunity. Spo really has this team distributing touches efficiently right now and they look to be gaining steam after a slow start like last year. No one is carrying the team and everyone is contributing on their touches.

    http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400975332

    Good to see everyone getting theirs and grinding out another win. Hopefully we can catch fire again on the 2nd half of the season.

    In the 4th quarter of this NYK-Mavs game I think I’ve witnessed the worst officiating I’ve ever seen. There had to be at least 20 missed called on each end. There was hacking and reaching all over. Just awful.

    The team is supposed to officially announce them this month. I'm about ready to blow this load myself. I'm not sure who gets on the jersey (Wade is the default) and I'm hoping there's a tee and hat available.

    Miami has all of the role players you want, just needs a star or two. Might be easier to blow it up, but if that's not happening, hopefully they can sign someone. They already have rebounding and rim protection, a PG with an elite drive game who can knock down jumpers and distribute, a SG with range and shot creation, solid defense at the wing with capable offense, an athletic offensive spark off the bench, a stretch 4 and 5 with versatility, a sharpshooter, and then a couple of utility guys.

    You can tell they've just decided to build a foundation to lure in a guy, but I'm not sure that guy is available. PG hasn't ascended to the upper echelon quite yet, Durant seems content front running, Westbrook already signed his supermax, LeBron is definitely not returning to Miami...

    It's hard winning with a team of pieces and no king.

    I really think a Paul George would be the perfect fit here. Dragic, Richardson, George, Adebayo, Whiteside with TJ, JJ, Olynyk, Ellington sounds like a contender to me.. Maybe I have my Pink and Turquoise glasses on.

    I would like to start a petition for Gerald Green and Ryan Anderson to switch salaries. Give Green the $20 mil and give Anderson the 800k. Without Green, the Rockets would be 0-5 without Harden...seriously. Anderson has been absolute TRASH since ESPN and USA Today gave him props a month ago. TRASH!!!!!!!

    I think they'd be better than misshapen teams like Milwaukee or Minnesota. They'd certainly be a top team in the East and at least in that tier of teams you have to have a conversation about in September for the new season. My wonder is how you get him on the team. It may be that OKC fails so hard that they move him before the trade deadline next season, but then you're trading for a guy without a guarantee he re-signs. At least OKC had the next year as a cushion. If you wait for him to become a FA, you have to compete with the remainder of the league to sign him. At least LA is still at trash fire level.

    And look, no one blames you for wearing pink and turquoise glasses. You'll look great while doing it.

    Yeah, I'm not sure how it gets done but seeing what it took to trade for him this year it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility to send over a guy like Winslow and maybe a couple picks (do we have any of those anymore?). Or Winslow / TJ with PG's word he would sign extension. I'd hate to lose TJ though, I really like his game as a bench guy.

    What’s the actual chances of LiAngelo making it to the NBA? I think he only has a shot based off of name only. Seen him play, doesn’t do anything great.

    If dexter pittman can get minutes in the nba, anyone can. He will find a team that will assign him to the d-league, but wont be nothing more than a guy who will ride the bench.

    He was barely a two star prospect.

    LaMelo is a five star prospect. Hes going to be picked high even with the overseas play. Think of Emmanuel Mudiay.

    Toronto is going to remember this one the next time we play them... very ugly game, punches and non basketball plays were made on the court.

    On the other hand

    Spo and Riley did it again. Bam is legit
