Real Deal

Durant drops 32, may have just won the scoring title.

And just like that, the Lakers win the Pacific.

First four possessions, four turnovers. LOL, worse than the D-League. No LeBron, Wade, Bosh, KG, Rondo, Allen...basically just Pierce and Dexter Pittman out there.

http://www.usabasketball.com/mens/national/roster.html LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland Trail Blazers) Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks) Chauncey Billups (Los Angeles Clippers) Chris Bosh (Miami Heat) Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers) Tyson Chandler (New York Knicks) Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder) Rudy Gay (Memphis Grizzlies) Eric Gordon (New Orleans Hornets) Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers) Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic) Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76ers) LeBron James (Miami Heat) Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves) Lamar Odom (Dallas Mavericks) Chris Paul (Los Angeles Clippers) Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls) Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat) Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder) Deron Williams (New Jersey Nets)

It's a guitar pick, or a Windows security shield...or a Viper's head. A 2D Net's logo. A spinning top? An awkward toenail? Maybe it's a tooth from the Toronto Raptors logo.

Tyler Zeller will save Milwaukee.

He's not in the league. Jared Sullinger was one of the best PF's in the country, and not considered undersized at his position. Just wait until he plays his first season, where the NBA teams are five times more athletic, twice as big, and much more talented.

Nope. He's having a knee procedure done overseas this summer. Come on. He could be, someday, but not now and not this year.

"PM system disabled? No reason to be here anymore." -_-

Well, yeah, I've seen him step into the paint to take charges quite a bit in his career...but a flop like THIS? Looks like this one rivals the Bosh/Boozer incident, Baron's flop, and AK47's funny one. You've seen more of Evans than I have, I'm sure, so maybe these extreme flops are not uncommon for you, lol.

LOL...just posted a topic about it, right when you made this post. You may have beat me by a couple of seconds, literally.

Damn...learning from the best, I see. CP3 and Blake have taught him well. This is embarrassing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04wtn2XAgMg

I am SO SICK of the Clippers flopping around all game long. It's not even about taking charges...just literally flopping. Anyone up for finding Reggie Evans flopping like he was punched in the face? They actually ruled it a Flagrant 2 on the court, went back to the replay and turned it into a personal foul, once they saw how fake it was. Then, going to the rim, CP3 tries bouncing off of Eric Gordon twice, acting like he's getting pushed, and then he proceeds to do it a third time, pushing himself off of Gordon's waist, and sliding out of bounds on his side, without even going for a layup attempt.

LOL yeah, the first title I had up was, "Kevin Love shaves it all off."

I actually researched it, because I thought it was someone else.

WTF? :o http://larrybrownsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/kevin-love-shaved2.jpg

Yeah, I didn't understand getting Gerald Wallace, either. Maybe if he was 23 years old, but it just seemed out of desperation, to prove to D-Will that you're willing to make moves.

Open elbow jumpers? Most of his OT plays were all drives to the rim, to the point where Durant barely got the ball in the first OT. He kept forcing switches and attacking Steve Blake (who had to foul him 2-3 times). EDIT: Just to confirm, Russell missed two elbow jumpers in the 4th quarter and the two OT's, combined.

Kobe tore them up in that 4th quarter and two OT's, and he took Westbrook completely out of the game the entire time he was on the floor. KB defending Westbrook is always nice...gives him just enough space to prevent drives, and when he does drive, Kobe gives him bad angles and runs him into the thick of the paint, much like Battier has done to Kobe every chance he has defended him.

I doubt anything good comes out of this, especially if he gets tossed for 10 games, and we meet the Thunder in the second round. Nobody in the league has defended Kevin Durant better than Ron over the last 2-3 years.

Stupid ass Artest, one game left before the playoffs.

Almost sounds like you're giving up on Dwight, from what I get out of the article. I would not be shocked if the Magic just threw their hands in the air and tried to deal him before the draft. Have you made the transition from "Get Dwight" to "Keep Our Youth and Picks" yet?

Jenkins is shooting the ball far better off the bench (at around 48%, versus 43% as a starter)...last five games, he has shot under 30% FG, and for the last 10, around 37%...but that may be expected, because the more he plays (and the less Golden State cares, since they have been out of the playoffs for a while), the road becomes much tougher for him. I think he can maintain that 45% or better if the entire team plays with a purpose, and doesn't give more burn to the undeserving, just for the sake of playing games and not worrying about overall record (at this point of the season). Very good article. It's nice to see non-superstar players (and in this case, a non-star) being given attention every once in a while.

Honestly, I doubt it would have mattered, because Wall had already turned on the jets and was wide open for a runner, if someone was going to grab at him (assuming they'd even catch up to him, because he had already burned his defender off of that hand-off), which would have put him at the line to win the game. Haslem almost picked that pass off, anyway.
