NBA Game Action: 3/12/2013

Hope Magic beat LA again, just to stick it to Howard once more. :grin:

 

Hopefully the Magic win. I doubt it though since they've been losing like crazy lately.

Personally think that ATL beats Miami...and ORL beats up on LAL

Ummm... anyone watching the game? Are they doing a super-hack-a-Howard so the fans can get some extra boos in or something? He has 17 free throws with 2 and a half minutes left in the 2nd quarter??????

 

Yeah they're doing hack a Howard.

He can't hit his free throws, but he's dominating the game.

 

Kobe is 1-7 FG while World Peace is 5-8 FG in the first half.

 

John Wall quietly having a stellar game against the Kyrie-less Cavs. He's 10-10 from the charity stripe w/ 7 dimes at the half.

He has taken a lot of heat over the last couple of years, but I think he'd blossom with a change of scenery. Washington, along with Sacramento and Charlotte, is at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to grooming up-and-coming talent. Wall is one of the most explosive guards end-to-end, and he'd be absolutely electrifying in an up-tempo attack.

His stock is at an all-time low right now, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a handful of teams make a play for him as the Draft approaches. Lin is a guy that may be very enticing to the Wiz's FO because of his marketability.

 

Wizards (20-41) - Cavaliers (21-42) (W)
Lakers (33-31) (W) - Magic (18-46)
Celtics (34-28) (W) - Bobcats (13-50)
Hawks (34-28) - Heat (47-14) (W)
Hornets (22-42) - Nets (37-27) (W)
Mavericks (29-33) - Bucks (32-29) (W)
Spurs (49-15) (W) - Timberwolves (21-39)
Grizzlies (42-19) (W) - Trail Blazers (29-33)

 

Josh Smith fouls Bosh in the backcourt (penalty) with 0.1 seconds left on the clock, while Bosh was just dribbling out the clock trying to get to halftime... Smoove gonna Smoove... he really might be the biggest dumbass in the league - and that's saying a lot.

Another brilliant move by josh smith, fouling with .01 seconds left, then making the bitter beer face. #pleaseleave

Heat 57-44 at half, as Josh Smith commits a Josh Smith foul with one tenth of a second to play in second period.

6 mins Kurt Helin ‏@basketballtalk
Give him a MAX DEAL! RT @CoupNBA: Josh Smith puts Bosh on free-throw line with 0.1 seconds left in the half. Bosh was 90 feet from the rim.

6 mins Tim Reynolds ‏@ByTimReynolds
Josh Smith fouling Chris Bosh 80 feet from rim with 0.1 seconds left in half is clearly in the running for Most Josh Smith Thing ever.

6 mins Dan Le Batard Show ‏@LeBatardShow
SO Josh Smith

6 mins Tom Haberstroh ‏@tomhaberstroh
Josh Smith with a STRONG candidate for Worst Foul of the Year. Fouled Chris Bosh 70-feet away from the basket with 0.1 seconds left 2Q.

 

Nah, JaVale takes the cake.

 

Lol wall ain't going no where. Wiz are very excited about wall & beal backcourt. Just because they've made bad decisions in the past doesn't mean they're going to give up on the only young and talented players they have on the roster.

 

Vucevic getting shat on by Howard.

 

Eh, JaVale gets a lot of crap, but he means well. I think he's more goofy than flat-out dumb. Josh Smith is brain-dead.
