The Truth

Stat and Melo aren't the problem. the defensive ineptness of the entire team is the problem. they already have a solid foundation in Stat, Melo, and Fields. they have to build around those guys by surrounding them with solid defenders. they definitely need to improve at the center position. whoever they get to play there should be a great defender. I also think extending Billups (which it sounds like they're trying to do) is a bad idea. this guy is well past his prime and he's not a long-term solution for New York. they need to be on the lookout for defenders and they need to shed some cap. that way when 2012 rolls around, they'll be able to court Howard, Paul, and Williams.

I don't think Rose and Crawford would compliment each other extremely well. besides, Chicago doesn't has the cap to sign a guy like Crawford this summer.

Nash would be perfect on the Lakers.

I second this proposal. a shorter season would make regular season games more interesting. unfortunately, I don't think it'll ever happen because it would mean the league and the owners losing money.

wtf was Gentry thinking with that last play? he wanted Hill to make a game-winning three over Kobe with just a couple seconds left? smh.

I don't understand these jokes about Rose's intelligence. do people just assume he's not smart because someone else took his SAT?

Gerald Wallace pouring it on thick with 28 points (10-14), 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 steals. great acquisition.

but he's still better than almost all of today's rappers regardless of his decline.

lol that's cool. maybe you could have a sun wearing sunglasses and looking down at a lawn.

I guess Jimmy Kimmel (my favorite late night comic) had Sheen and Cuban on his show last night. check this out lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuilG9KP08A

get a Civic instead; it's well worth the extra money.

Eminem, Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco.

do you think 82 games is too much? would you prefer the NBA regular season be shorter or do you like it the way it is?

but it's not just this project. his debut album was garbage, and like half of it was songs he'd already released lol.

it seems Jamal Crawford's headed out of Atlanta this summer. what team do you think would fit him best?

no doubt. some of his real early stuff was coo, but he sold out big time.

they do a little too much of that, if anything. they need to cut to the basket more.

one of my facebook friends just spelled awkward like so: ocward smfh

lol you're really going to start a landscaping business called, 'damn, it's hot!'

^ yeah, bringing LeBron into this is pointless. this is about Kobe and Smush. all things aside, I still think it's a dick move. I don't care much about it either way, and I doubt Smush even knows he's making these comments, but it's still kind of strange. why would Kobe continue to disrespect someone who wasn't even half the player he was and who's been out of the league for years now? just seems weird to me.

agreed; I have no idea why Kobe is still trashing him in interviews. he must have been really offended by Smush's comments. I can't think of any other reason why he'd still be talking about him now. Kobe should have just been the bigger man and squashed it, but instead, he continues to trash a guy who's not even in the league anymore. I think that's a douche move, personally.

great second half. they were ballin like it was the playoffs.

that was years ago when Bynum hadn't proved himself yet. now he's on his way to becoming a legit 15/10 guy. his size, length, and defense help the Lakers immensely and he's still only 23. they'd be crazy to trade him now.

lol you mad LeBron's on my team now? it's called a member title, and what's wrong with the shoes? yeah, they're flamboyant, but that's the school's color.
