NBA Game Action: 12/23/2014

Teams often go crazy when their superstar is out. OKC won a few games after KD and Westbrook were out, then dropped to bottom of West. I do the think the Lakers are better wi th out kobe, but barely. This is a FLUKE.

 

Swaggy P given em the business

 

Good vibes all around.

Morey bout to sign Divac to a 10 day contract

 

Another Dallas defeat. They are not an elite team. I am pleased to see that.

'make sure ball go right direction' LOL

 

Lakers better without Kobe

 

I agree

 

Ronnie Price showing complete disregard for human life?

 

If I'm GSW, I'm taking all calls on David Lee. They were doing more than OK without him -- he comes back, and Harrison, Draymond and Speights fall off a cliff offensively, leaving everything on Steph & Klay. Factor in that Lee is a negative defender, cutting into the minutes of some of their best defensive players, and I'm not seeing why you don't flip him for somebody who can serve as Bogut insurance or assets you can use down the line for that.

Mavs =

 

Bledsoe and Dragic hug it out:

David Lee has never been important for the Warriors success. He's even more irrelevant this season because of Speights. They would have dumped him but nobody wants Lee's crazy contract.

Bogut is essential for them to make a Finals run.

 

For some reason, I read this in Hedo Turkoglu's "Ball" voice.
