OTR's a preteen :')

I figured I'd check back here and sad to see everyone left again.

That's amazing. Hakeem is my Idol and it was surreal meeting him as many times as I did. How many pizzas did you end up buying?

Going for the Patriots. If Brady gets 4 rings in 6 Super Bowls, there's got to at least be a debate for #1 all-time.

Wasn't he pretty good defensively before? Maybe a change of scenery turns things around for him. We've seen Rondo and Brewer up their defensive game by getting off tanking teams this season.

Woj reporting Cavs after Mozgov. Probably what the pick acquired in this deal is for.

Cavs still have no big man. JR is a horrible contract, Shump/pick is nice pickup but have to see what that pick turns into by the trade deadline. Great value for OKC but not a big fan of Waiters.

But we already do. Motiejunas is just behind only Dwight Howard, Serge Ibaka, Roy Hibbert and Andrew Bogut for 5th best oFG% at the rim.

Hopefully back on track after blowing out Miami by 36. Smith looked great (6-9 shooting).

I got it on Christmas and so far it's been a great game but can't find shit online. Here's hoping they can finally patch it up and get it working.

Maybe but that remains to be seen. So far his offense has been pretty bad but his defense has been very good. I'd still have rather Motiejunas out there though. Smith-Ariza-Brewer out on defense together is amazing to watch.

Jones was pretty awful until the first 4 games of this season where he started to look like an excellent fit next to Dwight. His situation now is iffy but he had his opportunity to secure his starting role last year and didn't deliver. He did look good early but it's a small sample size and now he's out indefinitely with a nerve issue and we don't know if he can perform at that kind of level again. I think this is more a slap to Motiejunas' face. Dude was balling with Dwight out then Dwight comes back and Smith steals his starting spot and he loses his touches.

Nope. Josh Smith is confirmed by Woj to be the starter on the team. Motiejunas gets to be the first option off the bench though, which could end up being beneficial.

You mean Motiejunas? Jones has been out for weeks haha.

Pistons apparently fed up with Josh Smith and couldn't find any deal to get rid of him. They used the stretch provision to limit his cap hit every season but will be paying him until 2020. Woj is reporting Rockets are clearly ahead in the running: Motiejunas has been playing well and Smith is a questionable fit with Dwight offensively. Would this be a good or bad move on Houston's part?

Reportedly the deal is Wright + filler + at least one first round pick. edit: That sounds relatively cheap for Rondo if it's just one first rounder. On the other hand, Dallas is going to have an issue with frontcourt depth if they deal Wright.

If they end up with Karl then this is a good move for them for the long run but right now they just threw whatever chemistry they had out the window and pissed off their franchise player. Not to mention Gay started playing well under Malone and was a piss poor player before him.

I ran a short lived league a few months back. Being a commish sucks ass.

Missed the game but blew out the Bucks. Rockets 13-4 without 3 of their starters for most of the season and #1 in defense, crazy. Harden has to be the front runner for MVP.

Umm looks like Bev is out a week too.

Jones and Dwight out indefinitely. We've played fine without them and even beat Dallas the night before but tough to keep playing well with such poor depth in the West.

Even without Dwight/Jones, embarrassing loss. This is on Morey for having an undrafted free agent be our backup center.

Beautiful half of basketball. Heat very impressive so far. Ariza needs to be more involved offensively but the Heat are closing out on him.

Sloppy game but 4-0. Real test comes tomorrow against Miami.
