Knicks look pretty good to start the year. Too bad they will play Amare at the 4, when he comes back, moving Melo away from his best position.

I'd bring Amare's dumbass off the bench if it was my call. Hard to justify that though when you're paying him all that money.

As if it wasn't bad enough the Wizards suck ass, they are getting killed by injuries. Wall hasn't played all season, Nene is battling injuries and is out again, Ariza might be done for the year and Wall's backup AJ Price is out a few months.. Lol, The Wizards leading scorer the past few nights has been Cartier Martin, whoever the hell that is.

 

Looks like it will be another typical Wizards season, one of worst records in NBA and top 5 pick, which they'll likely waste, for example, trading it for Randy Foye one year and last year drafting Jan Vesely.. SMH lol.

Look at the bright side. 2013's draft has a deadly top 3 (public opinion, I'm not so high on Cody Zeller), and 2014 has Wiggins and several other players people are very high on. One guy said 2014 has five no. 1 overall caliber guys in the same draft.

 

If anything, pity the Celtics. We have zero hope of winning anything meaningful, and instead of rebuilding we're just waiting for Pierce and Garnett to expire. It's gonna be a loooong time before we're relevant again.

I really don't have much hope for this team ever doing good. The only even DECENT players on this roster are Wall, Nene, Okafor, Beal and sometimes Jordan Crawford, but he has absolutely no basketball IQ and when the team gets done he goes chuck mode and shoots every time he touches the ball. Among these guys, Wall hasn't played yet and Nene has missed half the season and can't play back to back games and its not like he is getting any younger.

 

This team is going after the Bobcats record set last year for lowest win%, they are about to be 4-29 after they lose to OKC tonight.

 

I doubt a top 3 pick can help this team, especially when they have no idea what they are doing in the draft. Jan Vesely has been an epic bust, he doesn't even play because he is so bad.

Wow, the Wizards have actually looked pretty dominant since Wall and Nene returned from injury. Since they acquired Nene last year, the Wizards are 10-3 when both Nene and Wall play, including 3-1 this year. During this stretch the Wizards have beaten OKC and Denver and the only loss being against the Kings where they actually should of won, they had a big lead, but blew it and Wall also missed two free throws that would of potentially won the game.

 

I'm also really liking the way Bradley Beal has been playing. He can shoot the lights out and is actually way more athletic than I thought. He is shooting over 60% from 3 this month. I'm starting to get really optimistic about this teams future.

I hate the NBA sometimes. Nene got called for an offensive foul on this play, Blake Griffin got two free throws, it was Nenes 5th foul and CP3 got an additional free throw due to a technical on Nene for arguing a call he had every right to argue. This play literally changed the game and was among numerous "debatable" fouls called against the Wizards.

65% of the Kings sold to Chris Hansen's Seattle based group. Recolation approval is March 1st, and apparently that's just a formality. Welcome back to the NBA, Seattle Sonics. I wonder if the Kings will even draw enough fans for a respectable chorus of boos, if the Maloofs ever have the gall to show their faces in that arena during a game.

The Lakers are absolutely screwed. I saw it live yesterday in Toronto. They just have way too many problems to overcome. The lowly Raptors made them look silly throughout the game. Mike D'Antoni kept calling timeouts looking angry and exasperated but the timeouts accomplished little. The only hope was one of the patented Kobe firestorms at the end and sure enough he was jacking it up from all over but it was much too little and too late.

Yeah, the Lakers are pretty much done, they have no chemistry and have all kinds of issues on defense. It also hasn't helped that Nash, Dwight and Pau have been battling injuries all season and I still don't feel like Dwight is fully healthy.

If the Wizards had Wall/Nene/Ariza and everyone else healthy all season, they could be pushing for a playoff spot. Wall has been playing outstanding since returning and has been making his teammates look amazing while running the offense to perfection. Nene has also been reallynice since returning and Ariza is the Wizards best defensive player.

 

It sucks Wall/Nene/Ariza missed so many games, especially Wall.

Apparantly Howard and Kobe don't get along , not shocking

 

And apparently D'Antoni isn't getting along with either Howard or Gasol. So you put together a 'dream team' and then get a coach who doesn't like 40% of it...nice work!
