Yeah, it's from the preseason. Serge had no clue who the hell Mitch McGary was lol.

e; McGary broke his foot then had an inflamed shin bone. They just rehabbed him for 2 games in the D-League.

Ah yeah, checked out his Wiki page and he also had a recent injury that kept him out. Good to see he's getting a shot.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Terry Glenn posted:

I see. Given that Waiters is a disaster and Jackson has checked out, I could see a deal like that working. Presti's probably pushing for some sort of bench scoring to go along with Morrow and Mitch motherfucking McGary. They've already grabbed one failed fourth overall pick, might as well grab Wes Johnson while they're at it. Presti has only traded for one wing this season, he's probably jonesing to get another.

Wes Johnson has become a decent player for the price as long as you accept that you only get offensive production from him twice a month and otherwise he's defense only.

I think the Lakers would want to do it because one of their favorite things to do is find a player at the end of a good team's bench that they have a positive scouting report on and see what happens when he gets more minutes.

Kyle Korver is shooting 85% on spot-up 3-pointers from the right corner this season.

Is there a way to find out what the record or where that would rank is? cc: Zogo

No one has all that info on 3P shots going back 35 years but it'd be a good bet he's near the top if not #1 because he's already had the third best 3P shooting season ever in only 52 games. Trailing only 1997 Glen Rice and 2013 Stephen Curry at this point.

Korver is doing for the 3P shot what Wilt was doing in 1967 for the 2P shot.

Fox Sports Ohio reports Ray Allen will pick his team in the next 10 days & lists Cavs, Wizards, Hawks, Warriors, Clippers & Heat as choices.

Ray Allen should go to Washington so he and Pierce can bury the hatchet and start a feud with KG

Hawks or Warriors seems like a tough choice.

3pt line will no longer be an arc around the hoop but a straight line intersecting the sidelines running parallel to the baseline 25' away

Korver is shooting only 49% from 25+ out so that will put a dent in his numbers.

It was only a matter of time: http://www.slamonline.com/nba/star-weekend-feature-nbas-first-fashion-show/

quote:

All-Stars James Harden, Klay Thompson and DeMarcus Cousins are among the players to compete in the NBA’s first fashion show.

Produced by LeBron James’ Springhill Production Company, the one-hour “NBA All-Star All-Style” will be taped Friday night inside New York’s Hammerstein Theater and air Saturday at 6:30 p.m. EST on TNT.

It will have three rounds: dressing for the boardroom, a night out and attire worn to the game. The competition will start with eight players, with four advancing to the second round and the top two competing in the finals.

I wanna see Wade get bounced in the 1st round. Capris? for Spring/Summer 2016? You're out.

edit: Round 1 is "the Boardroom." How many cigars as an accessory will we see out of the 8 competitors?
