Real Deal

He remembers his missed free throws when my Jayhawks beat Memphis for the NCAA championship in 2008. Everyone wants to be clutch, though. Every superstar should want that, at least.

Better defensively? DeAndre, and it's not even close.

FINALLY, Kobe played under 30 minutes...first time this season. :o Goudelock is looking good. Glad to see one of our rookies actually doing something for us. We need it, badly, seeing our bench play like D-League players every game (one of the worst benches in the league). Charlotte is horrible, though. I can't take too much from this game.

Marc is showing his brother just how much of a bad ass he can be. He wasn't shooting that well last night, but hell, he was getting whacked on every shot he put up, too. Mayo played good, and that shot at the end of the game was cold-blooded, but what will happen against Atlanta on Thursday? He talks about how that meeting changed him and the team...but we've heard this before.

There is so much uncertainty in Detroit, in regards to who is leading this offense, it's just a horrible thing to watch them play. Even with Ben Gordon out there, each night presents a bunch of inconsistent players that can give you 15-20 in one game, then score five points or so in the next 2-3. I feel bad for Monroe. He's the only guy worth noting on that team. He's a double-double player that, really, acts like he's the only one that wants to win.

Man, the Raptors desperately need a back-to-the-basket scorer down low. That team would have a much, much easier time with one. And yes, Marvin Williams is the anti-beast. I'm not sure if he knows a single post move.

Paul George is looking pretty good, doing more than I expected in some of these games he's having this year. Future all-star?

Did Thompson re-injure the same ankle he jacked up last week?

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120131_SAC@GS Paid off big because my dude BRANDON RUSH came through! I got to see the second half of the game this morning...he did damn good in that fourth. I hope he continues to get these opportunities.

Voting ends in three days!

Haha, he had the Timberlake. I wish I had those pictures. Terry's hair has been so different throughout the years, it's crazy. The only other thing I've ever done with mine is put streaks in it, when I was in the 7th or 8th grade, haha.

Dirk struggled quite a bit against Haslem in the Finals. I don't recall Bosh doing THAT good against him, although he wasn't bad. As a primary scoring option, I'd take Chris Bosh. Otherwise, I'll take Pau Gasol. All of that is based on Bosh being willing to put up 20 shots a night if he really needed to, while no matter the situation, Gasol would never accept it, and his lack of aggressive scoring has been a problem for the Lakers for a while now. I'm assuming this is for one season, also...not really fair if we're talking about a five-year deal, since Gasol is up there in age.

Voting will start tomorrow!

Kobe decided he didn't want to drop 50 at the half, I guess. I'd force Brown to let me stay in and do it.

TIME: 6:30 PM ET TV: NBC

Everyone on that Orlando roster (Dwight included) is just there for themselves this season. I doubt they really care about the team in general, knowing that it'll eventually be broken into pieces and rebuilt from the ground up. It gives me this feeling that the team has been told this, that they know Dwight is gone. Maybe Dwight told them, who knows...but they really don't play to win.

I wouldn't mind picking him up, but we really don't have anything to offer the Cavaliers, player-wise, and all of our picks will be post-lottery. I figured LA would use that TPE somewhere else, but oh well. Sessions would be far, far better than having Arenas here.

That's arguable, but Malone is the second greatest PF of all-time. He was an excellent defender, but also, far more elite offensively than KG. C - O'Neal PF - Malone SF - Erving SG - Kobe PG - Oscar

Oops, forgot to watch.

Blake needs to be the guy that makes that trip to work with Hakeem in the offseason. With a wide range of post moves, he would be incredibly difficult to stop.

Yeah, very close. I actually like that Perkins jumped. I don't believe Mozgov was even in the air, at all, or even had his hands up.

That dunk was nasty. :o

There are a few like that. At the time, I wasn't able to fit the logo on correctly, so I stuck a smaller version on there. Sometime soon, I'll update those that have the small logos, find a way to make it look more similar to the NBA icons.
