GARDENHEADSupporterMy educated guess is Zion’s back on Thursday 1/16 at home against Utah. That, or Saturday 1/18 against Clippers.
Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

Ya good to see Barrett show out. Randle and Knox had a good game.

I was off by 6 days. I’m so psyched for Zion.
I usually don’t care about the pundits, but I really can’t wait for Zion to shut up the critics who say he’s too big and should sit out the whole season.

Serpico JonesForum VeteranDavid Aldridge says Bradley Beal is disgusted with the Wizards organization.

Don’t touch my Bam or Tyler Herro, and we’re good.

Cant talk that nonsense when you signed a max extension just 4 months ago. He knew what he was in.. kevin love and now this guy... really guys... they get no sympathy for me, they decided to get their money rather than hold out for better opportunities to compete

The issue we have is that our success is due to our depth. If we start offering Duncan, Nunn, Herro and other filler.. we may have hurt ourselves more so than made ourselves better. We definitely hurt the team chemistry this season.
beal is not going to get traded this season, he is definitely stuck there at least till the offseason. But washington is going to try to force Riley’s hand, he is going to want all the young talent we got. Riley is going to try to use Dion’s contract to match salary.

Yeah well they can keep Beal and we’ll go hard after Giannis in FA.

"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)

It was a fantastic 3 minutes. Just like sex with me.

JDelenneSupporterTMZ reporting that Kobe Bryant has died in a helicopter crash this morning along with 4 other persons. This is crazy, and tragic.
Vertical LimitForum VeteranMiami took care of business today, tough game tomorrow against the Celtics
Vertical LimitForum VeteranYea i kinda expected that loss to happen... we have hd a very mediocre month of basketball.. the all star weekend cant come soon enough, these guys need to regroup
Vertical LimitForum VeteranGood win last night, great defense by djj
Boik14SupporterOnly a few days away from the trade deadline which is Thursday. What are some moves you’d like to see your teams make?
For my Knicks I’m thinking the following:
- Marcus Morris and Elfrid Payton for Picks. I’m thinking a team like the Clippers or Lakers could give a 1st.
- Dennis Smith Jr for a bag of balls.
- I’d consider Randle for a younger shooter (I.e. Tyler Herro or Luke Kennard or a proven PG like D Lo Russell) as the Knicks need more floor spacing and a PG but that’s a more complicated scenario particularly for Russell (the Knicks have been linked to trade talks with GSW) as GSW is looking to lower their luxury tax bill. Moving on from Randle for just picks could make sense if one was a lottery pick as it would free up minutes for Knox at his real position and give a real chance to establish himself.
Vertical LimitForum VeteranDennis Smith really fell off a cliff after a hot rookie start.. sheesh
