This team has no clue how to protect the lead... sometimes I think having the lead early is a curse for the team because they are almost 100% guaranteed to blow it. We've lost 12 games now, and I think we had double digit lead in 10 of them.

^Is that Earl Boykins photoshopped?

- Home Alone: family movie - Die Hard: unique Christmas movie because it's action, not normally warm, family XMas movie, but that's where it's great - Bad Santa: full of adult stuff but funny as hell

So she also plays in Turkish league? Two jobs I guess...

19.) Abundance vs. Scarcity. What is your reality? A major reason why there are less rich people than middle-class/ poor people is because a majority of people believe that money is hard to get. People who say, "do you think money grows on trees?" are such example. But there are also people who believe the world is abundant of money, that they are plentiful of opportunities/ endeavors that attract money, provided they seek and desire it. They like to say, "don't worry about money, if we do the right things right, there'll always be plenty of money." And they often become the minority (rich). For as long as you think "there is not enough money in this world", it will be IMPOSSIBLE for you to become rich. Unless you're born to wealthy family, most people's reality is "money is scarce". There are good reasons for this, among them, namely INFLUENCE from parents and school. Since we're kids, we're always taught by parents to get good grades, graduate, and get a job with security and benefits. And if you read point #2 above (Security vs. Freedom), you will know that rich people do NOT seek "security and benefits". Rich people seek FREEDOM. "Security" gives to us a meaning (a meaning that we've been programmed to remember since we're kids) that "money is hard to come by", and that is why "we need a job with security". It's no wonder most people's reality/ view of money is that it is scarce... and once they get their hands on it, their greed, insecurity & fear (of losing it) speak for themselves. It is ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT for anyone having financial dreams/ goals to shift their reality from "scarcity" to "abundance". There's NO guarantee you will be rich if you successfully change your reality, from "scarcity" to "abundance". But one thing is certain: you will NOT be rich if you don't make a change. The not-so-good news? It's hard to do. We're talking about changing our habit (subconscious mind) of thought from thinking "money is scarce" to "money is plentiful"... and we know that changing habit/ reprogramming your subconscious mind, like most New Year's resolutions, is never easy. Multi-millionaire Robert Kiyosaki, born to a family who strongly believed in job security, admitted that this (changing his reality from "financial scarcity" to "financial abundance") was arguably the toughest adjustment he had to do. The good news? It can be done, provided you're adamant in changing your "scarcity" reality to "abundance" reality, and that you're PERSISTENT in the journey. You can change your reality by re-reading the three points (#8, #10 and #14) above: 8.) Be generous 10.) Word is your most powerful tool (it does not take money to become rich) 14.) Subconscious Mind, unlock your TRUE POWER that lies within! Change your words/ vocabulary and change the way you think. You have to be persistent and consistent in doing this. As you condition and train yourself to use rich people's words, you're going to reprogram your subconscious mind (replace your old, bad habits with new, good habits). As you start to be conditioned with the new, good habits, your actions will reflect on your beliefs. Taking actions is also a good way to quickly transition from old, bad habits to new, good ones, because actions reaffirm of what you (want to) believe in. Then finally, generosity is important in separating ourselves emotionally from money. If you're attached too strongly to money, you are more likely to have a "financial scarcity" reality, and are less likely to have a "financial abundance" reality

He's probably right... as far as LA making that offer to Denver.

18.) Be grateful If words/ vocabulary is the core difference between a rich person and the rest (middle/ poor class), then gratitude is the next biggest difference between them. "It's easy for people who have a lot of money to be grateful"? Not quite. There are tons of rich people in this world who feel miserable and unhappy... it's because they have no gratitude. But there are EVEN MORE people at middle class - poor financial level who feel miserable and unhappy day in and day out simply because there is no gratitude in their vocabulary. For us who live in USA, Europe, Australia, developed countries in Asia such as Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, China we need to be grateful to live in the richest countries in the world. If we make a straight comparison with the people who live in war zones, where it's pitch black at night with constant firearms, no facility, no comfortable bed to sleep on, perhaps no food/ drink, and not knowing if their hidings will be raided or bombed, whether or not they'll survive the night, our petty worries are so small by comparison. If you are grateful about what you have, about your life, you are RICH... even if you have little/ no money. TRUE rich people are grateful not because they have a lot of money, but they have a HABIT of appreciating and being thankful and humbled for what they have. They would constantly say to themselves: - "I am grateful for the nice weather today" - "I am grateful for the beautiful breakfast I had this morning" - "I am grateful for living in one of the richest countries in the world." - "I am grateful for all the accommodation, luxuries provided to me at small fraction of the costs of my money" - "I am grateful for all the opportunities I've been able to get" - "I am grateful for great/ loving and caring family I have" When you're grateful, you rid yourself of complaining and blaming that often are your own major roadblock to your dreams/ goals. Being grateful also curbs self-pity, often found in individuals who excuse themselves and hide from reality because they don't want to deal with disappointment. When you get rid of complaining/ blaming/ self-pity from yourself, you are clearing your path/ road to success. Develop gratitude today by starting to say to yourself (at least once a day), every day for the rest of your life: "I am grateful today for ... (insert here whatever you're grateful for)" NOTE: Being grateful is NOT the same as being complacent/ satisfied. Complacency is a serious threat to your dreams/ goals. On the other hand, gratitude is an important element necessary to achieving your dreams/ goals.

Yea I don't understand this... I personally think Melo would want to play with Harris more than Andre...

Just money so I can save up for a house.

^Article says Houston as a 3rd team in the deal, not actually getting Melo.

J.R. just did a Kobe 360 lay up... this kid is so talented.

I think he could be a star, why not... I remember Chris (who?) Gatling made an All Star team in 1997 as a 6th man on Dallas Mavericks. He could be a star, but all star is long shot... super star is no chance imo.

Mayo's strength is also his weakness: selflessness. He is very selfless, there's no young player in this L that will say, "I'll do whatever it takes for the team to win, even if I come off the bench, even though I know I'm a legitimate starter, even though I know it's only my 3rd year and I should be concerned about my individual success/ stats, and worried about getting next contract/ extension." What Mayo has done (in terms of sacrificing his individual game) is unbelievable considering he's young, considering he's sacrificing potential money for his reduced contribution for his team's success. Without Mayo's selflessness, without the guy that steps up to make the extra pass, the Grizzlies (consisting of me-me players like Randolph and Gay) would have fallen apart a long time ago. Mayo might be the better player talent wise... but noone can deny Love's ability to pass and, especially, hunger to rebound. Love's rebounding is what makes him special... I didn't see this coming. And he can shoot at high percentage medium-long range. I preferred Mayo before but I have to say, my choice now is Love. I would love for a big guy who grabs rebounds, passes, and shoots as well as he does to be on the Nuggets.

No reason for me to defend Kobe but I agree this stat sucks [expletive], I never look at it.

"How do you say 'mother[expletive]er walks on water' in Argentinian?" Manu Ginobili is a great player, I remember before coming to NBA, Scoop did a small article (Trash Talk) on SLAM mag, and wrote: "How do you say 'mother[expletive]er walks on water' in Argentinian?" It was a great write.

Al Jefferson Jonny Flynn Rudy Fernandez James Harden

My impression on him is it's a combination of: - Not wanting to give his leverage away - Being indecisive

Who is Allen? Since when Kardashian dates Humphries? This proves that theory that hot girls date NBA scrubs.

I can't remember when we lost and I didn't feel like [expletive] lol

It was an offensive foul... Gino got his feet set... Melo's a monster though... noone can deny he's clutch(est) but maybe he should have pulled up for a jumper. Players are driven by instinct... I'm sure at the time Melo's instict told him to drive in. Great game, at least the Nuggets competed when they could have thrown in the towel down by 9 with 3 (?) mins left.

Ginobili! This means it's another Melo game winner. Book it.
