    Directly linked to youtube..

    I'm not reading his twitter, you are acting like a jilted ex with Westbrook / GS.. It is depressing to read.

    So you don't think a team playing without it's 3 best guards, (and arguably 3 of their 5 best players) matters in the outcome of the game?

    He also thinks losses where Houston's good players don't play so well shouldn't count towards their overall record.

    I haven't brought up Westbrook in a while. You did.
    I talked GS because that was the last team Houston played.

    Why you mad, loll?

    Windhorst the Hutt thinks the Cavs might try to trade for Kemba, looks like IT is pretty much on the way out.

    Kemba plays like a poor man's kyrie. This would be a nice move.

    They'd have to give up that Nets pick, I'd assume, and even then I'm not sure how they'll take on any of the Hornets' big contracts. Kemba could help them, but I'm not sure how much. And if LeBron leaves, I guess you'd have a good player, but instead of a high lotto pick in a good draft, you'd have a 27 year old PG who's led mediocre teams his entire career in a city that will probably prevent you from landing a big fish in FA.

    Wayne Ellington has been such a key to Miami's team this year. To me, what he brings is so reminiscent of what Ray Allen brought to the Heat when he was here. I was curious if his numbers showed that, and it's interesting because they are pretty similar.

    In Allen's best year with Miami (12-13) these are his stats:

    10.9 ppg; .449 FG%; .419 3pt%; 1.7 asst; 2.7 reb; 0.8 stl


    Ellington this year:

    11.2 ppg; .425 FG%; .410 3pt%; 1.1 asst; 2.8 reb; 0.7 stl

    He's been brought up as a potential trade asset but I think he's too important. We have no replacement for his 3pt shooting.

    My take on that is it all depends on whether you think he'll be back next year, and what you can get. If I'm a team that thinks they have a shot at knocking the Warriors off, I'm trying to get him. I think he's that kind of a shooter that he can make a big impact on a contender. So if Miami doesn't think they can keep him because of luxury tax purposes, I'd listen even though he is absolutely as important to them as you say. I hope they keep him, though. I honestly think I'd rather see them keep him long term than Waiters at this point.

    Dude I’ve never given up. The Heat absolutely can beat the rockets tonight without Dragic. The odds went down, but the rockets are just that soft that I wouldn’t be surprised to see Miami bring their jungle mentality and wipe these fairies off the court.

    I've almost forgotten about Waiters. Good point, I think Ellington's stroke has more longevity than Waiters shooting. Too bad he is injured or he might have been a possible trade candidate.

    So anyway, Leonard is reportedly not happy with San Antonio. No way anyone gets him to leave/SAS allows him to leave, but it's fun to imagine him in Miami.

    He’s under contract until 2020. I doubt he’s still mad about this then. I hope he is.

    A horrendous victory against a team that no one has claimed is better than the rockets current roster?

    Barely eeked it out without 2 of our best players. Houston is exactly what I thought it was. Trash.
