That was like a three-minute long sentence...not even sure if she took a breath the entire time she was speaking.

That's awesome.

Hill puts the lock on the door by blocking CP3.

Damn man, Nash was fouled twice there. Dudley shutting the door, though.

Hope it's like that first meeting, and UNC wins, so we can go into the tourney praying that the two will play each other for the tie-breaker. THAT would be sick. It's crazy watching two teams go at it like they do, though...seeing one go to the post, and the other hang around the perimeter. No mention of Marshall, huh? I'm getting interested in him...really, really wish there will be a way for him to fall to the 20's, but I doubt it. The dude has crazy court vision.

"He passed it again." He's really known for this, now.

LeBron went ballistic...but wow, take the DAMN SHOT at the end of the game. What is wrong with him? I want the Heat to lose every game, but this passive shit is getting annoying, and I just want to see him start taking those shots, make or miss, win or lose.

From Sixth Man of the Year (nearly an all-star) to D-League in less than a season... He sure loved the Lakers.

Only play two sports. Basketball - creating my own shots off the dribble. I'm really good at shooting over people and creating space, and I have a pretty good fadeaway jumper. I'm doing more work in the post now, since I'm losing athleticism, but I can still get shots from anywhere on the court. Football - throwing the ball. Funny story...there was a small tree about 30 yards away from my girlfriend's parents' house, and we were out there for lunch one day (watching football). I was standing by the garage, asking her brother if he wanted to throw the football around, and she said I couldn't throw, jokingly. I told her to pick a target, and she picked the little tree, so I threw the ball and hit it perfectly. Pretty accurate, and I can throw it deep...aside from playing basketball, when I was younger (pre-teenage years), I had a tire in my backyard, hanging from a tree, that I would throw my Nerf football through constantly. If I were to play baseball, it would probably be pitching.

Following both. And there aren't as many updates as you stated. There are FB pages and Twitter accounts that are so damn annoying.

Three-day voting (unless we have a close one).

Well, when I say a player is "running the point" in an offense, I'm literally talking about the PG position. My issue would be the match-ups, and like you said, they don't have to defend the assigned positions. However, that's not always how things work out. Back down the court, many times, you would see Turner matched up with the quicker PG, and I think those mismatches would happen more than enough to really hurt the team, defensively. Now, if we're talking strictly letting Evan Turner run the offense once they are set in the halfcourt, okay...that's a bit different, because teams won't need to switch. I was assuming this idea was hinting that Turner actually takes over the PG position, even when Jrue wasn't in the game (or vice-versa, Jrue at SG with Turner on the bench), and that would not work.

The Lakers said the same thing about Pau Gasol before the CP3 trade. I never believe any of this. Unless you're a superstar or a potential superstar, you can be traded (and even superstars can fall in the same boat).

The Lakers didn't need perimeter players attacking the rim back in 2010. If you give me Shannon Brown...come on, dude. Kobe was settling for jumpers, Ron Artest wasn't doing anything...I'm not really sure what else there is to say regarding that situation. This CURRENT Lakers team has much more problems than that. Dallas didn't need youth to beat Miami in the Finals. They made a defensive stand...kept the Heat under 100 almost every game, four of those six were low-scoring games to begin with. Barea had a couple of good games, played horrible in the other four. Dirk, Terry, Marion, Kidd, Peja...all in their 30's and not able to "keep up" with teams like the Heat, Bulls and Thunder...but they did, in a different way. I think you're underestimating what a post player, one that passes the ball very well, can do for the Celtics. If there's no Andrew Bynum, or another seven-footer that is taking up the paint, Gasol will take over the low post...and while I think Miami would still get to the Finals, I wouldn't be surprised to see a series like that go seven. Otherwise, Boston will just see a sweep, or a five-gamer, possibly lose two of their veterans, and run with Rondo and Pierce until #34 retires. Boston is not NY or LA...free agents aren't dying to play there, so it will all depend on the draft, either way you flip the coin. A team like Boston would rather go for it all in the limited time they have, than to see themselves eliminated in the first or second round of the playoffs for years to come.

It's a PG-driven league, which is why Bradley would be good to have as your defensive PG, after Rondo's exit. Plus, I'm pretty sure Boston would also get Steve Blake in the deal, who may not be a great offensive PG, but he can still make the necessary passes and hit open shots here and there. I don't see how a Gasol/KG/PP/RA/Blake team (with Bradley) would be as bad, or worse, than the current Celtics squad, who are dying for a big man right now.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying the Celtics SHOULD trade Rondo. I'm just making sense of the trade. If Boston wants to get better TODAY, they trade Rondo for Gasol. But... So Derek Fisher is the exception? This is a guy who can't play defense, at all, and the only time he provides for us on offense is at the end of a game (in the clutch), and really, we wouldn't need him in the clutch if it wasn't for his horrible play for the other 3 1/2 quarters of the game.

One instance where I couldn't care less what the law thinks. Darrell is a walking advertisement for the Clippers, every single day. Now that they have players to stick in their ads and commercials (CP3 and Griffin), they have tossed him aside. For YEARS, they were basically using him to advertise a team that few cared about...even to the point where they actually DID stick him in ads. So, yeah...he makes money going to birthday parties as Clipper Darrell. Don't care. Technically, all he really has to do is strip his "gear" of the Clippers logo, and then he can do whatever the hell he pleases.

If Rondo wants out of Boston, he won't have to wait four years. He'll ask for a trade, and I doubt Boston wants any part of that. That really got them somewhere, didn't it? ----------- Point is, Boston will in fact be losing their core all at the same time (or close to it). Garnett and Allen are expiring after this season. If they think they can go one more championship run, they will do it and risk the future by doing so. Gasol is not a primary scoring option, but you guys are underrating him more than I ever have. There are some teams in this league that only care about championships. Today, Boston is not a contender. They are a sure-fire first round exit if they play Miami or Chicago...and right now, they are 8th and staring down a team that was in the Finals last season. If Doc Rivers and the organization feel that Austin Rivers will be someone they can build around, instead of Rondo, they will take the chance now and try to win a championship this season, bank on Rivers and see where that road leads them. Otherwise, they will be picked apart in five or less games by the Heat or Bulls, go into next season with basically the same team (maybe losing Garnett and/or Allen), and still do nothing, with non-lottery picks...up until it's just Rondo. It's "win now" in Boston, just like it is in Los Angeles.

1) Rondo and Rivers are having trouble seeing eye to eye. 2) Doc wants to coach his son next season, which will take the ball out of Rondo's hands. 3) Boston wants to make one more push for a title before they lose their big three, and they need a center, believing Bradley can step in and contribute at the point (a very good defensive PG). C - Pau Gasol PF - Kevin Garnett SF - Paul Pierce SG - Ray Allen PG - Avery Bradley I'm not sure if it's really THAT bad of an idea. Rondo is a stud and is young, but he may not be planning on staying, and they know this.

Stern is such a punk. He does his best to dodge what is being asked...stumbles, and realizes he's getting worked, so he brings up Marc Gasol...lol. I just realized that the Wolves and Rockets draft picks are nearly the same, too (#13 and #16). Sheridan slipped that in there, last second.
