It's quite a joke

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

The real joke is the East has 11 teams under .500, let that sink in real quick.

[redsoxrules]

Yeah, the Heat and the Pacers are running away with this allready

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

The Brooklyn Nets being awful puts a big smile on my face.

[rjortiz]

Mike Woodson has to lose his job after last night's game.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I hope to god this rumor about Ainge offering a first rounder to buy Asik is false. Even with Asik in tow we'd still get annihilated by the Heat or Pacers, assuming we even get that far (I'm not trusting a .500 record in December with this crew). If Asik fails and the team flops, we surrendered a valuable first rounder for the right to have that useless contract on our hands. If Asik plays well and we win like 42 games and the division crown, we're still just one special ed team in a conference full of them, and there's absolutely no guarantee we'd even make it to the conference finals/semi-finals to get whacked by the two aforementioned teams. On top of that, we'd be wagering Brooklyn staying on their low-30s win pace as our only chance at a good spot in a loaded draft that was supposed to be instrumental in getting us back to respectability. Looks like we're gonna be the new Raptors for a while.

Knicks owner "expects a title" this year. Don't wait up.

Poor officiating in the Heat/Pacers game

[Jasonbay44]

Back to back wins vs the New York teams.. coming into the season this would be an impressive accomplishment for the Wiz.. At this point in the season, not so much. If Wiz can stay healthy there is no reason at all they can't finish top 4 in this s***** ass eastern conference.

[Palodios]

I thought the Atlantic Division was bad, but it looks like the entire East pretty much sucks this year. Out of 15 teams, only 3 are above .500. If the Celtics get Rondo back, they might be able to grab onto that #3 seed. That just seems silly.

[Emmz]

Well the NBA is just f***ed like that. Really not many teams that have a shot. Pretty damn lame how Miami just bought themselves titles more or less, like it's baseball and they're the Yankees or something.

 

And it will happen again now because of that, players jumping ship on their teams to form a super team, and then acting like complete ass holes to recreate themselves as a heel personality. The NBA is starting to look a lot like professional wrestling in that way.

I think that they would be trading the Clippers pick to the Rockets.

[rjortiz]

Brook Lopez broke his foot. Danny Ainge has to be pumped.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Lopez sucks. Putting the ball through the hoop is literally his only contribution to the team.

 

This might actually be a positive for Brooklyn. Garnett can move back to center, which at this age is his only option, and now guys like Blatche and Evans, who can actually rebound, will get minutes in Lopez's place.

[Jasonbay44]

Lance Stephenson crossed the s*** out of Courtney Lee last night and then had an awesome celebration

 

Hahaha awesome

[Jasonbay44]

These NBA Christmas jerseys are HORRIBLE

[rjortiz]

NBA really needs to start flexing games on Christmas.

[Bellhorn04]

How 'bout those Raptors? 95-82 over Indiana and a .500 team. Pretty good for that division.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Cavs trade Bynum for Luol Deng

Wizards not only beat the s*** out of the Heat, but Nene embarrassed Lebron twice, once swatting the s*** out of him on a fastbreak, and again in the 4th with the poster dunk on him. All of this after Lebron claimed he was going to have a huge game tonight becaused people accused of him of "coasting" and not trying hard during the regular season.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I was watching this game with Heat fans, love watching them go ape s*** when they lose. Can't believe the Wizards were up 34 at one point.

[Jasonbay44]

Haha yeah I was at the game and it was like 50/50 Heat/Wizards fans, s*** is ridiculous. Half these morons don't know s*** about basketball either and the ones who do were going f***ing insane acting like they just got eliminated from NBA playoffs lmao. I was so glad Wizards beat their ass. I also like how the Wizards have a "bandwagon" cam where they show Heat fans on big screen and s*** on them.

 

On another note, it was nice to see Greg Oden back healthy, he played very limited but looked good. Good for him.

More importantly, a lottery protected first round pick from Philly that turns into two second rounders if not forfeited to us by 2016.

 

So I now have a reason to root for the Sixers for the first time since 2001.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Just when I thought the anti-LeBron train was dying down, these f***wits start bitching about his performance in January?

 

And apparently flopping is now being referred to as 'LeBronning' by those same retards. Why not Hardening, or Ginobiliing?

[mvp 78]

Because Lebron is the most famous player in the world. He's a huge man and his flops are hilarious.

Great word.

Because Lebron haters have no life and never leave him alone. Lebron could win 10 NBA championships in a row, 10 MVPs in a row and cure cancer and Lebron haters would still find something to bitch about. I don't understand the hate for Lebron, I really don't. The only people who I can somewhat understand hating him are people from Cleveland.

 

However, I can understand why Lebron is getting s*** for last night. He said he was gonna put up huge numbers last night and played below his standards in a blowout loss to the Wizards

 

With two days off this weekend and a refreshing visit to the White House on Tuesday, James promises we’ll see a different James against the 17-19 Washington Wizards. “We’ll see Wednesday how I’m coasting,” James said jokingly as he made his way into the Heat locker room on Monday. “You’ll see the numbers I’ll put up on Wednesday. Just watch.”

Anyone see the all star game jerseys? Adidas is drunk.

Yeah they are ugly as s***... I don't understand this sleeved jersey s***.. The players have complained about it affecting shooting and they are horrible looking.
