NBA Game Action: 1/11/2015

Very nice slate of games!

 

I want to see Suns win, allow OKC to make it in the playoff picture and moves Grizz lower in the west.

 

I'm rooting against the Suns in every game in hopes that they fall out of the playoff picture, opening up a chance for he to get Dragic.


Go Memphis, for today.

 

Whiteside is a gamechanger for Miami

12/6/1stl in 6 min, 2 OREBs and 2 dunks, off the bench...

Can they snag a late 1st rounder for him?

 

Wet's go, Wakers! Go Jewemy Win and Tawik Bwack! Beat the Bwazers to help Wockets standing!

 

Isn't that contradictory? OKC needs Suns to lose, since they are 8th seed.

that said, I, too, want Suns to beat MEM to help Rockets

The idea we need Suns to lose to get PHO to give up on playoffs and trade Dragic kinda went out the window with the 10-2 run they went on. They have solidified the position as a 8th seed contender for rest of season. Don't see how they give up on that now

 

Times will get tougher for the Suns by next week. OKC, Pels, and even Nugs could overtake them in standings by end of month.

 

could be. but the point is are they going to fall out of playoff picture soon enough to give up and trade Dragic. Just because they might fall to 9th doesn't mean they are out of the playoff picture. maybe they realize they aren't really an 8th seed, that they are being gifted it via injuries.

anyhoot, I've given up rooting against them with the idea they'll give up. I think it's better to root against NOLA to push down that draft pick.

^ did you spoil that, because you thought it might be a huge file? Pretty sure those vids just send a small "screenshot" with the play button. The vid doesn't stream until you click play.

I wouldn't worry about spoilering those anymore than youtube embeds. animated gifs are a different story.

 

Whiteside feasting

 

I spoiled it because the embedded Streamable videos are pretty wide and I don't know how to resize them. One of my pet peeves is when an oversized picture or video makes the pages on cfans wider than they need to be and force me to scroll sideways just to read text.

edit: looking at the embed code, it is pretty obvious how to resize the video. I'll go ahead and do that now

 

Hawks are now winners of 22 of their last 24

 

Heat giving the Clippers a tough time. That would be a nice bonus for the Rockets if they lost.

 

Hawks just won't stop winning

 

That was a massive beat down that the Hawks put on the Wiz. Go up by 20, let the Wizard back in to get to within 2, then crushed them in the late 3rd and the 4th and run it up to a 31 point win.

The Wizard didn't even know what hit them. That Hawks passing is so Spurs....

 

Whiteside is beasting...

 

Hawks
Clippers
Grizzlies
Kings
Lakers

 

I really Cant believe it when people say they would trade Dwight for DJ.
