Not to offend any Lakers fans here but you guys are freaking bipolar about Pau Gasol. I could make some comment about Pau being soft early in the season and get hanged for it but soon enough every Laker fan is making photoshops meant to insult him. Every. Freaking. Year.

Heisley is taking part in the labor negotiations, if there was serious talk for a hard cap then I doubt he would have handed out $17 million so swiftly because Zach wasn't going to get much more than $12-13 million in free agency. Besides Memphis screwed themselves out of any financial flexibility when they handed Rudy Gay his max deal. 'Very good' as in perennial first round fodder then sure. Zach takes them to the next level with a healthy Grizzlies team.

Then what is the problem? If he was going to be getting paid anyways then why not give the guy his big contract right away instead of making him wait? Hard cap or not, the Grizzlies are back to rotting in mediocrity if Randolph slithers away.

They should have probably tried to trim a couple million off the extension but it would have been a huge insult to Randolph to make him wait his extension after all he's done.

As long as there isn't a hard cap I think they will be fine.

After this I am positive that Memphis will match ANY offer for Gasol. Better start thinking DeAndre Jordan although I'm sure he'll be matched too.

No clue but you have to hand it to the ownership for spending so much this year. First Rudy Gay's max deal, then Conley's big extension, a $71 million commitment to Zach Randolph and soon Marc Gasol.

Yeah I don't think Shaq would have even made much of a difference in that first half. Boston needs to get their shit together.

That jumper by Garnett is Boston's first field goal in about 4 minutes.

Celtics playing with a lot of activity but can't get anything to fall through.

Ariza says the day!

No Patterson? 1. Blake Griffin 2. John Wall 3. Greg Monroe 4. DeMarcus Cousins 5. Ed Davis 6. Patrick Patterson 7. Landry Fields 8. Wesley Johnson 9. Jordan Crawford 10. Gary Neal

Yes! JVG is commentating.

25-11 Sixers? First the Pacers almost upsetting the Bulls and now this?

Come Jenneral don't let ponies run you out of OTR. Its the playoffs, stick around and enjoy it.

Pacers choked the game away but you have to hand it to them for sticking with arguably the top team in the NBA for so long.

...And Jon Barry has orgasmed.

Boozer has been playing some soft defense all game.

Hansbrough out? Danny Granger in. What a second half for the both of them.

Korver needs to sit, he has been useless.
