We get to see the 15-34 version of Clippers vs the 11-35 Wizards No Paul & Blake Griffin a late scratch.
Thunder pounding the Mavs. Thabeet with some rebounds, couple of blocked shots, and a nice smooth jumper. :grin:
OKC has 61 with 3+ minutes to go in the first half. Don't know what the next step is for this Dallas Mavericks team.
Pacers are legit. Should they trade away Granger? Get a back up center and shooting guard and some cap space?
So, in the Rockets-bench-warmer/Viper-Make-Good department: Garrett Temple and Jeff Adrien are both starters tonight and playing significant minutes. Who says RGV doesn't develop NBA players?
Cuban gambled and lost. Had I been a Mavs fan (Uggh...gross) I would not have forgiven him for letting Chandler and Barea go right after winning a ring. Kidd would not have left either if those two had remained. These three players and Stevenson, besides being excellent role players, brought toughness to the team. That team had great chemistry and had they been intact, they would have been contenders last year and again this year. Oh well. :grin:
Not to derail the thread, but they showed this clip of a DeMarcus Cousins dunk earlier in the year just now on NBATV and I hadn't seen it before (that I can remember). Good golly miss molly... would hate to be Danny Green in this one. [youtube]nfQFaR6N5ts[/youtube]
Hey Carl...I saw your post in the MKG injury thread about not having the local feed. I thought you got NBLP. If not, I changed my password back to the one you know, if you want to share again. text my cell if you have any questions.
They need to steal away someone like Steve Francis in a draft who refuses to sign with the team who picked him, then he gets injured and they get lucky and jump five spots to land the top Center in another draft. And "the rest is history." I hope that happens to San Antonio, too.
