Beer Loses more than a game Sunday ...
We lost our Captain, our Teammate, our Friend Kelly Calabro...
Rest in Peace my friend you will be greatly missed..
Valanciunas is out tonight with a bruised knee that swelled up. Apparently the knee has been bad for a while, which may explain why Poeltl was getting so much play the other day. Anyway, excited for the Raptors to roll Poeltl/Bebe at the 5 today.

I was planning to go to Pelicans @ Thunder next month but with my luck Davis and Westbrook would both miss it with injuries and at that point I may as well go to a high school game since its both cheaper and not a 5 hour drive

I really appreciate that Dokmo. It seems clear, he is not much of a jumper, he doesn't have confidence in ball handling in a crowd, and his touch is just terrible

I'm afraid he might be a total bust unless he somehow becomes a great three point shooter and goes to Tony Parker Layup and ballhandling school. Do you have an opinion?

Exum looks like he really needs to learn how to play basketball and it seems in an ideal situation he'd handle the ball more, but he's so much worse at that than like 6 other guys on the team, so it's hard to give him a chance. When he had the chance, he was awful.

In other Jazz news I hope Alec Burks heals sometime from whatever new injury he has

If the Cavaliers win sixteen playoff games then LBJ should win Finals MVP too.

So I mentioned that the NBA as a whole are doing conference rematches really soon, and I don't really get it?

I thought they've done this before. I believe the Bulls played the same team closely in the 1990s.

With the state of the Mavs :negative: being what it is, I need to adopt a team (preferably eastern conference.) Normally, I would revert to my #2 team but the Pelicans are also having a difficult season. Somebody sell me on their team with playoff hopes.

Cleveland Cavaliers or if you want disappointment pick one of the other fourteen.

Anyone know what reason Bogut sat out the last mavs game for? I went on twitter to find out mid the lakers/warriors games and searching for "Bogut" resulted in thousands of people saying "the warriors really miss Bogut."

Mavs :negative: baby! Finney-Smith basically took all of Anderson's minutes by the end of the game. Bogut looks like he might be playing hurt. Barnes was used as the number one option again and had another career high.

Edit: Mavs revoked credentials for Tim MacMahon and Marc Stein today. No idea why for Stein but I know MacMahon actively used to feud with Monta. (And Parsons encouraged it.) Good riddance MacMahon

The guy used to make up rumors about Monta not trying hard and causing locker room issues, while he was injured.

Cuban isn't the Donald Trump of the NBA because he has at least won a title.

Blocking beat writers because you don't like what they say is bush league and the Lakers would have had an empty press room since like the 90s if they did it since both ESPN, Bleacher Report and the local news papers think people only want to read negative Lakers stories.
