True, but I'd still rather watch Pacers-Nuggets, Rockets-Jazz or Grizzlies-Sixers than Orlando at Brooklyn... but I guess it's the newness and NewYorkness of the Nets that had them picking that game.
Warriors - Raptors could be a sneaky good game. Raptors have been quite watchable recently and the Warriors are awesome to watch.
I picked Bogut up in fantasy. I expect he'll be rusty initially but he should put up steady blocks when he settles in.
Dafuq? Was there any inkling Bogut was coming back or did this just come out of the blue? I currently live in the Bay Area and haven't heard anything lol.
Watching the Warriors vs. Raptors game, and I have no idea how the Raptors could call out Lowry for being a ball hog/chucker when they have Alan Anderson and Demar Derozan on the team.
I'm totally ignorant of Orlando's luxury tax situation and neither do I know how they view JJ Redick in their long-term plans .... but with that expiring contract and sharpshooting skills, he would seem to make some sense as a Rocket trade target.
I think there will be quite a few teams interested in him before the trade deadline, but not sure how much he makes sense for the Rockets. He's an undersized 2 guard, so who's minutes would he get? Certainly not Harden. He's smaller than Delfino. He's pretty much TD with a slightly better 3pt shot but much worse defense, right? If you want to put him in Lin's spot-up 3pt shooter role, I guess that would work, but like I said, Redick is terrible defensively and doesn't create anything either.
I can't see the Magic giving up anything of value without dumping Hedo or Al Harrington's contracts. And, I'm not sure a small late 20's jumpshooter like Redick is worth that, guys like him aren't nearly as rare as they may seem. EDIT: just realized you may have been talking about the Magic using him as a salary dump. I doubt he's the guy they'll be shopping to move to improve their cap situation.
I bet Minnesota or Utah would give up a TON for Redick. He'd be a PERFECT fit on either team. :grin::grin::grin:
Former Rocket (and Viper) Jeff "The Chin" Adrien got his first career start tonight for Charlotte. Congrats! He was, btw, the guy who got cut to make a roster spot for Greg Smith, IIRC.
Looks like Steph tweaked his right ankle again. Unreal, that's gotta be the flimsiest ankle in the world.
Harrison Barnes is a really really good in game dunker. Warriors announcer are terrified constantly of injuries. I feel bad for them.
Pacers got robbed again. That was an obvious foul by Iggy on Paul George. I understand and agree with letting players decide games, but that was a blown call.
