The Regime

Agreed. He was the toughest guy on the team, and that's really hard to replace. The Celts will miss his presence and dirty work come playoff time.

Poor free throw shooting, brutal shooting stretch for Durant, and terrible defense, that has been the story for the Thunder.

Well, that's what happens when you gut your roster.

Dwight is certainly playing at an MVP caliber tonight, he's dominating on both sides of the floor. How many weak side blocks have the Magic got today? Just ridiculous.

Utah won, but I'm not sure why Devin Harris came off the bench. That should change within the next couple games.

Dwight is having his way in the paint, the Thunder could have really used Perkins tonight. Also some pretty terrible transition defense.

Mozgov didn't see any playing time last night, and K Mart looked great. Are you sure that George Karl is going to go with that lineup?

I've seen you around TLN. Welcome to OTR, always nice to get new members but hopefully we don't have Laker overload here.

If you were starting a team, who would you take between these two in their primes?

Call me crazy but I think the Nuggets might be a better team after the trade. Chandler and Gallo are both pretty good defenders and can score points in loads, plus Felton makes for the best backup pg in the league and he's also very capable of scoring into the double digits on a nightly basis. The Nuggets have a crazy amount of speed and athleticism across the roster.

Outside of a couple miscues, Denver has been pretty solid defensively.

Get Chris Anderson and Al Harrington out of the game already.

JR's jumpshot has been on target all game, let's hope it's there when the Nuggets need buckets down the stretch. Denver also looks a lot sharper on defense tonight, I'm liking this new Nuggets team.

Fishers minutes wont go up lol, he's perfect at where he stands. If anything Phil will rest him a little bit more. Steve Blake has sucked this season so I wouldn't mind picking up either pg (Mike Bibby more so than Ford because of his three point shooting). And it would be nice to get a little deeper at the center. Bynum is prone to picking up fouls so it would be comforting to have a defensive minded Pryz in the middle. We need toughness, Pau at the five is disastrous.

Mike Bibby, TJ Ford, and Joel Pryzbilla are all guys that can make an impact for us.

What was worse, the flop or the 1-18 shooting night? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9oInCQNzvs&feature=player_embedded

Gotta love Gallanari's defense, he's actually motivated. His length and size makes him very capable of defending multiple positions (from Pierce to Glen Davis).

Nuggets cant finish anything around the rim.

Yeh since I'm always blaming our loses on injuries during the regular season. Way to generalize.

They've beat you twice this season, that's all that matters. Stop making excuses.

I was about to post the exact same thing. Edit: Wade with bonehead play on defense, and then Lebrick chucks up some trash. Nice to see Miami's superstars doing work in the clutch.

Derek [expletive]ing Rose. He'll be cold all night, but he hits clutch shots when the Bulls need him most.

And all this time people thought that the deadline was going to come and go quietly because of the labor talks, CBA, ect. I wish it was more like this every year, it's great for NBA fans.
