Yeah... things aren't so pretty for Orlando.

He was already playing with an achilles issue, which is why he looked off from the start. He appeared to have broken his toe during the game.

The first two hack dramas were crazy, haha.

Love it! -__-

LOL at the September 2009 poll. I remember Guru made a Jason Kidd signature that was one of my favorites. Not sure if he still has it. I hope Kyle (iMan) submits a signature with his awesome Photoshop skills.

Neither team is horrendous. The Nets, when healthy, are a playoff team. The Knicks, when they are right and healthy, are around fourth or fifth seed.

Nets: $71.1 M in guaranteed deals, Knicks: $236 M in guaranteed deals. Also, as of a week ago, the Nets' games were against teams that were a combined 22 games over .500, and the Knicks' games were teams that were a combined 34 games under .500.

Nets are now 5-0 when Deron drops 24 points or more. Irving is simply incredible. It would've been nice to have Brooks playing yesterday as well. The game was sloppy down the stretch, but time was our friend. First winning streak of the season. D-Will appears to be as good as he's ever been with us.

Blasco left?!

Either LeBron said it himself shortly after leaving, or someone reported it that he would like to return to Cleveland as his career nears its end. So maybe he would consider returning to Cleveland earlier than planned. There is still quite a gap of time until then, during which the Cavs can continue to build through the draft and have their young talent impress. But I don't see James being disappointed enough to leave what they have set up on the Heat. Other super-teams/near super-teams have formed following his departure from Cleveland, so he would probably be reluctant to break away from Wade and Bosh to compete against them without those two at his side.

How appropriate... we reached 300 K posts less than a week ago. Happy seventh anniversary, OTR!

HEADBAND FOREVER!!!

Deron is wearing the headband today. It probably has something to do with this commercial being shown yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpp7c7xhNhQ&feature=youtu.be

There's reportedly no opt-out clause in the contract.

Yes. Sent from my HTC on the Now Network from Sprint.

Just to add, we are probably better than about seven teams at least. Sent from my HTC on the Now Network from Sprint.

I'm saying not to rule out the chance of Deron staying if Dwight ends up somewhere else. L.A. is the only other destination where I can see Dwight being dealt where he would want to stay, and if he does get traded there, how does Deron join him? The other main competition for Deron would be Dallas, and a 34-year old Dirk doesn't beat out MarShon, Lopez, and at least one high 2012 draft pick (maybe something as good as MKG or Barnes), by much. I'm not guaranteeing anything... I'm just saying that Deron's departure is not a guarantee. Brook's offensive game isn't that far off from Howard's. Bynum is better than Lopez, but he isn't better than Lopez, Brooks, and two 2012 picks.

Maybe you should also consider this news, where we actually heard something from Deron's mouth: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/12/05/deron-williams-90-percent-chance-i-stay-with-nets/
