I guess. Idk though -- He said Amar'e needed to have like 2 full practices before he was going to play a few minutes...so if they practice twice with Shumpert a full-go I'd be surprised if Woodson doesn't bring him back for that Hornets game on Sunday.

Lol, I'm pretty surprised. I thought he's done a fairly decent job there, honestly. Oh well, RR to the Jets?

Shumpert was cleared for full-contact practice this morning. I'm guessing he'll make his first appearance in a game this weekend.

I got the feeling he walked. Adrian Wojowski put on Twitter that "Skiles hated his team."

lol what garnett is the king of trash talking. he's one of those guys you love him if he's on your team and hate if he's not. idk how Melo got so pissed about all that though...like i really feel the knicks main problem this year has been losing compsure (technicals, etc.)

still has no relevance to what u said prior lmfao

Did they fire him? Or did he quit?

? Lol what we have felton and shumpert still out and we are still 22-11? [expletive] outta here

Well ... this changes everything.

I know this sounds awful - I don't mean it that way - because I personally love watching RGIII play and thing he's a damn good player and wish nothing but the best for him even as a Giants fan (seriously). But, Skins fans, and the organization in general, better get used to this ... the way he plays, I'd be shocked if he EVER played a full 16 game season. He's similar to Mike Vick. With how violent the game is, how thin he is, I truly believe it'll become the norm for him to miss several games a season.

Jamison doesn't even play, does he? Lol. And offensively, I don't really see the problem. They seem fine offensively to me. Sure, they could post Pau more, they could give it to D12 on the block more, and they could give Kobe some more iso's..there's only one basketball...but, in the end, the offense isn't even the problem IMO. They don't play consistent defense and they do not play hard consistently at all. How did you expect them to play when they acquired Nash? He plays with the ball in his hands his entire career. What do they do with him? Lol

Gasol CAN be traded - sure. But, you're not going to get anything that's going to be more valuable than Pau himself. I saw how he played on Christmas Day (maybe it's a lack of motivation from this team?)....He's still a decent player and is not the main problem. I highly doubt they'll fire D'Antoni. Maybe at season's end, but unless they lose like 10 in a row, they aren't making another change.

Yeah, I think they'll make it as a 6th or 7th seed. Ultimately, they will need a run where they rattle off a ton of wins ... and I think it'll eventually happen.

No one really wants Gasol. Not at this stage in his career, his contract, etc. Not worthy of trading him at this point. Gasol isn't the only problem for the Lakers. Hell, he's not even the major problem. The major problem, to me, is A. Lack of ball movement in the 4th quarter, and B. Defensively (especially in the paint). They gave up far too many uncontested layups last night, and there were a few possessions where the ball didn't move. I remember one last night, where Metta World Peace had the ball on the wing at the 3 pt line for like 10-15 seconds and then he chucked up a contested 3 pointer. Not a single other person touched the ball on the possession!

When does the school semester start for you guys? I'm going to N.C. State and we start January 8th (tomorrow)....shit is wack! Eh. At least our last day of classes is April 26th.

Griffin? Lmfao. What about Carmelo?

Sweet. When do you think they'll compile a game schedule for the teams? I'm going to scoop up some Canes tickets right away, especially when NYR visits NC!

Well, this game was easily the best of the weekend. From a neutral fan standpoint, it's a shame RGIII wasn't at full strength just from an entertainment standpoint. Oh well, Seahawks (IMO) are the better team anyway. Some fun matchups next week, and hopefully it'll bring along some better football.

Cousins didn't look so great when RGIII had to come out. Lol

Yeah I'd go with this ... although, Harden does have Lin (Yes, not Kobe, not Tyson Chandler, not Blake Griffin, and not Wade/Bosh), and Parsons is a damn underrated player.

top 5? no. but he's just outside of that. i laughed at the people who said he wasn't worth a max deal. if joe [expletive]ing johnson got one this [expletive]a definitely deserves one

Yeah. I was listening to ESPN Radio today on my way to and from work and they mentioned it like three times. I can assure you Kobe is one person I won't be following.

that was a much needed win. the defense was back. spurs did look tired though like finch said. we matchup real well against the spurs in general though.

Yeah. I mean, I get LP...but the worst part is that they never give the MSG feed ... so I have to listen to the away/opposing announcers who are biased as [expletive] and drive me nuts!

this should be interesting. thursday night game, why is this not on TNT?
