Who knew that the Celtics might get a better draft pick from the Nets than they get on their own?

Steph Curry gets a head injury. Next game: Steph Curry Bobblehead night.
Hopefully the injury isn't serious. |

Disappointed that the Clips lost to the Grizzlies at home. That's a game they need to be winning.

This Brooklyn team is quite entertaining. They have this plan in place to limit the starters minutes to save them for the playoffs. I guess at this point the playoffs are far from a lock and they better think about changing gameplans. I believe KG has had about enough of this team and the 24 minutes per night he is playing.
I think Boston picked the perfect time to unload Pierce and KG. These guys seem to have very little left in the tank. |

Looks like Derrick Rose tore his ACL in the other knee tonight. I don't even know what to say. Couple years ago the Bulls were looking like a team that would contend for the next 5+ years. Now they're in salary cap hell for the next few years with a team that won't be bad enough to tank.

Now I wanna pitch a sitcom to CBS where Rose, Oden, and RGIII all wind up sharing an apartment as they rehab. Nick Johnson plays the wacky landlord. Working title: Two and a Half Functional Knees.

Marc Gasol also with what is reported to possibly be a torn MCL ... And Igoudala with what appears to be a major harmstring injury.
On the plus side, the Wolves with an important win over the mess that is the Nets. And Spencer Hawes continues to play really, really well (17/10/3 with 1.5 blocks and 2 made 3s at a 49% clip) and hit possibly the best clutch shot of the season. The difficulty (catching it with 1 hand, turning and hsooting of 1 foot), the effortlesness of the motion, the reaction. It´s all perfect.  on another note: Aside from the Jazz, every West team might possibly make the playoffs in the East. The battle for the last few spots in the West will be brutal.

Weird to be happy over a meniscus tear, but I was certain it would be an ACL. Hopefully he's able to come back at some point this season.

Suns/Sixers/Celtics could be the first time in history that a coach gets fired for winning too many games.

The Warriors have arguably the most talented starting five in the entire league...but lord the bench is thin. Here's hoping they can use their trade exceptions to fix the glaring holes there.

Fuck Kobe's greedy ass and damn the Lakers' management for being so stupid. Yeah $23.5/$25 is less than what he's making now, but it's still screwing the team over and not providing any flexibility to you know, actually put together more talent around him?

I think we all knew that Kobe would not take a huge enough paycut similar to what Duncan took in San antonio. It's a dumb move capwise, but FA's were not going to flock to LA next year anyway. Kobe wont take a bakseat to anyone, and despite taking a 33% paycut, he will be the highest paid player in the NBA for the next two years. The Lakers are going to ride out the Kobe era and bank on his marketability to sell tickets and try to win with whatever they have left to surround him with with the remaining 60% of their capspace. Realisically, their window for a title got really really small off of this contract extension. But it really couldn't have been any bigger.

What! Maybe I'm really out of the loop, but I thought the Lakers had like one or two contracts guaranteed past this year (maybe it was next year?), Nash being one of them... and the discussion being that they can start from scratch and lure in FAs since it's still the frickin' Lakers and they're in L.A... But now this contract kinda means they're stuck with Kobe. I've grown to like Kobe as a competitor over the years and I understand the point of view that this will at least sell tickets for two years... but really, if the team is losing and Kobe is a shell of his former self... is that really true in a market like L.A.? |

I think you underestimate how crazy people are about Kobe, and now that this contract seems to put a set date on when he'll retire, how many people will want to make sure they saw him in person at least once. Not to mention the desire to watch Kobe pass Jordan and whomever else on the all-time scoring list. |
