    That's what happens when you get a pushover coach and bitter players together.

    Suck it, Boston!!!

    I’m so sick of all these media types trying to make it seem like AD is going to Boston. Don’t be coveting my man! Talk that smack and he’ll drop 45/16 on you.

    In an actual fight Aaron Afflalo and Blejica (Minnesota) threw actual punches (Afflalo) and headlocks (Blejica) ending in a draw.

    That’s what I like to see. Ugly haymaker bu afflalo but still, watching untrained huge nba players fight is awesome. Hockey has it right. Let the 2 go at it then get on with the game. On freaking ice skates at that!

    Can you imagine if they allowed that in the NBA? Either there’d be less false bravado since they don’t want to actually fight, or you’d have bench clearing brawls.

    Hockey does have it right. The NBA needs to put the two players at center court, and give them 30 seconds to figure it out

    I’m with Chuck and Shaq on how I feel about the whole ordeal. Lmao that was hilarious... how awesome is the NBA right now?

    Ibaka vs JJ
    Goran vs DeRozan
    LeBron vs Stephenson
    Bjelica vs Affalo
    Simmons vs Lowry
    Houston vs Rivers/Blake
    Simmons vs Morris
    And a few more I can’t quite remember at the moment lol

    But crazy stuff man, good to see players actually care about which team they play on...

    Bjelica shouldn’t have even been ejected. He got elbowed in the throat then swung on. Putting him in a headlock is the best way to stop a guy from throwing punches at you.

    I agree, how does Affalo just start tee’ing off on an unaware player and the unaware player gets ejected? Makes no sense... all I can say is, Bjelica had a lot more composure than me because if that was me, UFC 220 came early lol

    Beefs with Miami players are never real. No one is going to risk Haslem getting involved.

    You do realize Ariza was mocking Harden's fighting stance. It was a joke. YouTube it and Try again.

    13-0 when our starting lineup is healthy. They've only played 13 games together all year. Im confident.

    That alley pop from Winslow to Whiteside then the 3 on back to back plays was nice.

    So 17-12 is their current base. Sounds about right. Every team has dealt with injured starters. BOS, CLE, MIA at top of East. GS, HOU, SA at top of West. Each one has had key starters injured for significant portions of season.

    I am going to need Miami to release the city gear now. This is getting ridiculous. Do they have some rights issues or something?

    Harden, NeNe, and Moute are back = 18 point win over a good Minnesota team.

    Much better. GSW on Saturday.

    If only Wade had waited to take that buyout.

    I think he would’ve come bac. And we could actually really use him right now

    I just don’t think Wade will be back except to retire his number. The Heat work too hard.

    Meh....first game back after missing 3 weeks. Needed the practice game before GSW.

    *This is why its so sad that Eric Gordon and CP3 will be cheated out of the all-star game. They have been great. 2nd in the West....only one all-star, smh. Meanwhile, GSW will have 4, Minnesota will have 2, and Pelicans will have 2. :confused2:

    Kemba Walker is apparently being shopped to get rid of bigger contracts from Charlotte. They want a 1st round pick or young talented player in return. I feel like Miami could make something work if they wanted to, but I doubt they want to rock the boat with how well they're playing. Walker is a really good PG, and still pretty young, though. If they did find a way to make it work, you could move Dragic off the ball, which would be nice with Miami's injuries.

    I would love for Miami to make a play for Kemba... offer Winslow and this years first round pick lol I doubt it gets the job done but you never know.

    They can't trade their 1st. They actually don't own this years as long as it falls outside the top 7, and you can't trade picks in consecutive years, so they can't trade next years either. And while they might accept Winslow as part of the deal, it will take more. It would have to include Richardson or Bam, and they'd have to send out some other guys to make the money work.

    Looking at the trade machine, it would look something like Bam, Winslow, and James Johnson for Walker and Marvin Williams. And I'm not sure they'd want to add Johnson's salary. It actually looks harder than I thought to make it work when you factor in that Williams or Batum would have to be included, and Miami can't include Waiters because he's injured.

    Does Walker put us over the proverbial top to the degree that we break up significant portions of the team?

    Here's why I'd consider it. I'm not sure he puts you over the top at the moment, but he's just at that "star" level IMO. And I think to ever truly contend you need at least one real star. I still think it would be a really tough move to make numbers-wise, though.

    Dragic is also 31, something to think about.
