To quote Kevin Harlan: "ARRON AFFLALO IS AN ASSASSIN!"

There's no D in Denver.

I am surprised MJ would want Artest now for one of his star players.

In the Celtics' defence, Allen has been in foul trouble since the 3rd, Wafer got 5 fouls, Perkins is tired and they are undermanned. However, the Lakers' D stifled them in the second half. On a side note, how come no one is calling Gasol soft ever since the Lakers started winning?

Nasty collision between Odom and Gasol. Hopefully the former will return to the court soon.

Wafer just owned Artest.

Lakers got a problem without Kobe at the moment. Artest and Odom forcing the issue by going into 1-on-1s.

Good tactic by Doc Rivers to get Allen into the flow first by making him run curls for easy 2-pointers. No way can Fisher get close to him then.

Ray Allen to make 2 3-pointers to break the record in the first 2 minutes.

Who would have thought he would leave so quickly after signing that extension at that time.

There's a Jeff Green in ESPN? He is that missing piece in so many teams. He can fill in as the SF or PF of a good team, or as a sixth man in a very, very good team.

I hope, for all the things he has achiveved, that he won't be remembered as a man without a championship ring, but a man who guided his team to success in most, if not all, of his 23 seasons in Utah.

Thanks dude. I wanted this, especially with the trade deadline looming.

Cavs v Wizards. I can just imagine the celebrations if Cavs win.

I am not too high on Melo personally, so I won't give both Deng and Noah for him. When we face teams like the Celtics or the Magic, we have absolutely no chance without Noah to beat them in a four-game series. Melo would be locked down to around 15 PPG and his defensive awareness is too low to play under Thibodeau.

Cavs' bench.... -_-

JJ continue to do work inside. Double-double already.

Denver won't be interested in Biedrins or any of the bench players so I doubt Warriors can do anything regarding this potential deal.

According to the NBA.com poll, the % of people voted for a Cavs win is 28%. Just something I wanted to mention. I personally believe they will lose this one as well, but win against Washington a few days later.

Took the words right outta my mouth.

Beast stats from Tony Allen: 27 pts, 5 steals, 3 blocked shots.

But Bynum is a Center.

K-Love doing work once again. On a side note, the nba.com TV companion refers Chuck Hayes as "Charles Hayes" and for a brief moment I was wondering who this player was.

If the Lakers do indeed get Melo and they lose Bynum...should Artest be kept as a sixth man or should he be gone for anything other teams can offer?
