Real Deal

Steve Kerr said that was the "floppiest" group of players on the court for both teams, lol.

Far too many tats. Five? That's okay. Sixty times that? Nah. Not a big fan of the piercings, either.

Nice, Boozer...can't even finish on the break, all by yourself.

Moss this, Moss that. http://sportige.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Randy-Moss.jpg

What the hell was that???

Damn, bad play out of that timeout. Morrow should have been about 10 more feet away, to catch and shoot.

Tom Thibodeau is a beast. Excellent defensive coach.

ESPN put this up on their Facebook page today: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/395384_367532209932294_147262525292598_1314080_14652467_n.jpg And this... http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/16/lebron-says-he-would-consider-return-to-cavaliers-someday/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

First this: And then you'll read this... Because Broussard declines to say that Iverson did not want to play in the D-League. The Lakers asked him to play for a week or so, and then come over and play the point in our offense...and he made it clear he did not want any part of that.

I have a feeling Mike Brown is spineless, didn't want to send Ron Artest to the bench and start Kobe at the three...or, he has this obsession with Derek Fisher because of his leadership (and nothing more, since he brings nothing else to the table) and is scared to alter the five he has now, and Smith won't want to back up Kobe most of the game. Earlier in the month, or maybe in January, Smith did say that he would take less money because he knows he could play good enough to get an extension...so I doubt money was the issue, especially since all three teams (LAL, LAC and NYK) were limited in the amount they were/are offering.

The Wolves won't land Pau Gasol unless it's for Love OR Rubio, or if they involve a third team. LA doesn't want anyone else from their roster, and the Wolves won't be trading those two players to us.

I guess Blake Griffin is afraid to defend his title, and LeBron is too scared to do anything but the typical in-game dunks he's accustomed to. No Jeremy Evans? I'm disappointed guys like Iggy, Ibaka, McGee, DeRozan, Howard, and Josh Smith decided to stop participating.

Steve Nash became the oldest player to go 20+ PTS, 15+ AST in a game. Can't say this is a shocker.

CONGRATULATIONS, NITRO!

Go ahead...waive them all but John, if you want. John Wall Nick Young JaVale McGee Jordan Crawford Andray Blatche Rashard Lewis Chris Singleton Trevor Booker Jan Vesely Kevin Seraphin Shelvin Mack Mo Evans Ronny Turiaf Roger Mason

I wonder if the Jazz would be interested in trading one of their bigs to the Suns for Nash. I'm pretty sure the Suns realize that Steve is more than likely leaving the team, recognizing that they are ready to rebuild, and it makes me wonder if the Jazz would dish out a big if they get a contract extension out of Nashty.

Three games, you can kind of tell he's still struggling to get into a groove. He's playing limited minutes, of course, but I'm not sure if he's fully healthy, and if that's the case, I don't know why he would be back before the All-Star break.

How many oops did he throw tonight? They showed about 3-4 on ESPN SC. Just perfect, right at the rim. He's throwing some "nashty" passes now, also...clean drop-offs, nice bounce passes in traffic...and the biggest "wow" was when he ran in a circle, in the paint, and got a wide-open layup from it (very Nash-like). Had me cracking up, too...you know he learned it from old Steven.

ESPN just showed that Jeremy Lin has the most turnovers, in a player's first six starts, in NBA history (36). John Wall had 30. If I recall correctly, Glen Robinson was on that list, second, with 35. Scott Skiles was also on the list. Guess there's always something wrong with playing so good.

Watched some of this game, and turned it off when I realized the Pacers were playing behind a horrible David West and a struggling Paul George. No Granger...even though he's not an ideal primary scoring option, the Pacers just don't have it in them to win very many games with Hibbert being asked to take over. Granger may be back for the Nets game on Thursday, though. Nice to see Kyrie back for the Cavaliers.
