The D-League becoming a legit NBA minor league is cool and good, will definitely help a team develop continuity for its systems

Harden now has as many triple doubles as Hakeem did for the Rockets.

¡Hola SEA!


Hakeem only had one triple double a year or so but had a quadruple double. Go figure.

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.
If all the players had to give up was likeness control, that's a good deal and the superstar players really did the rest of the league a solid since most players all but two or three players get the same payday from EA anyway.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
The Rockets have made 43 (22 and 21) three-pointers against the Kings in two games

23 is the single game record. :catstare:

I'd actually be thrilled with just Payton and a second :(

The Kings are only like a game out from the 8th seed. I wonder if they just keep Gay around because they'd rather make a long-shot playoff push with what they have rather than trade for a new 11th and 12th man.

Yeah because you wouldn't be paying Brewer $15m over the next two seasons. He's part of it, oh yes, he's a pill you must swallow

Noblest of all dogs is the hot-dog; it feeds the hand that bites it.
In that LNJ dunk the nets bench nearly goes nuts and then realizes it probably wouldn't be good to celebrate the death of their center.

The preseason should be cut in half. I know it's a giant scam for the owners but it's pointless for most teams. The regular season is forgiving enough in terms of making the playoffs that you don't need many preseason games to get ready. Maybe 30 years ago when the players wouldn't do poo poo in the offseason, but NBA players these days work their rear end off year round and are rarely out of shape.

I still contend that shortening the season about 10 games would be the best approach. Play other conference twice, your conference 3 times. The lockout season sucked for players from a condensed schedule but it was fun as hell when the games meant more.

Gay and McLemore are hurt but they've been available all year so who knows. Cousins, people connected to the org claim it was Joerger's call and pre-planned.

The lockout season sucked poo poo if your team had players with serious but not season ending injuries.

I guess it'd be one way to increase the variance

Pau just had a statline of 17/13 with 6 assists on only 12 shots with no turnovers or fouls. This is the respect he gets.

I do love Dedmon though. Too bad he can't stay on the loving court.

For those who want cliff notes, this looks like a reasonably readable review of the changes. Looks like 1 vet player gets to be designated a 6 year player, so that's a thing.

He's the Golden State union rep so he's probably up to date on stuff, but it's hard to imagine what he's angry about. I'd guess fighting for more cash, the only other thing that seemed like a contentious issue was the one-and-done rule
