t-wolves should be better with talent like beasly and Love, the raps just suck because their roster blows.
Don’t be a jerk-on, Melas.
call me in April if Chris Paul isn’t giving up on plays, causing trouble behind the scenes and generally sulking around the court.
Riding his “curtails” ?
In the future, the cameraman should pan over to Matt grinning fiendishly when this happens.
Didn’t the Suns start off last year really well (like 13-3), struggle in the middle, and then bring it home strong? I think the good middle part you guys were referring to was because of all the stories at the end of last season talking about how that rough middle part record-wise built that fabled team chemistry.
On another note, I watched the fourth quarter of that Jazz-Thunder game. Crowd was great but Jazz just couldn’t get it done. Some iffy calls but most gobsmacking was seeing Durant just bricking shots like that. He needs to take it to the basket more when his jumper’s not falling – I know he shot a lot of foul shots but most weren’t at basket, more matters of Durant flailing about on Jazz’s physical play. On the other hand Westbrook played really well, but why does HE not take it to basket more? His favorite play off pick and roll is pull-up midrange 2, bizarre for such an athlete.
question: if we join the bball pick contest and live outside of north america, are we elligible to win “jones swag” (hate that expression, but would like some though)?
skeets is not misusing “literally” here; the timberwolves, in a very real sense, defecated abundantly in a bed. this is because wolves aren’t housetrained. additionally, they brutally mauled a number of people.
To me, the Thunder just aren’t playing right this year. Last year they were what, top 8 defensively? This year they’re at the bottom. Maybe they’ll fix things in a few weeks, but the way I see it they aren’t going to challenge in the West any time soon with the way they’re currently playing.
I made a solid case 2 years ago that Chris Paul was the best player in the league (I’m biased towards short players). And then he got injured last year and I forgot how much of an impact that dude has on winning. Considering he is, at most, only 6 feet tall, I find his talent and ability to control basketball games quite remarkable.
@danga! Yes, you are eligible to win “Jones swag” even if you live outside North America.
More love for Childress & Warrick!
Oh yeah, and Andrei Kirilenko = old school 1980s He-Man.
Kirilienko = russian
You guys are searching too far about that Kirilienko thing…
He’s just Russian… They only have like 3 haircuts…
He’s already done this one:

Now, he’s going with this one:

Just be glad he doesn’t have this one:

And, yeah, all 3 of them are russian…
@Breyzh Fesenko is Ukrainian. But you’re totally right about the lack of diversity in the haircuts Russian men get.
Totally agree about Paul’s swagger. It doesn’t matter what the hell else is going on in the game, I keep focused on him because he is in such control of the game.
Peeing the bed is just a sign that you had a good time. Things aren’t really bad until you’ve shit it. The Wolves have been sleeping in shit for a while now.
Skeets, the T-Wolves did not “literally” shit the bed. If they had literally shit the bed that would have meant they actually brought a bed into the arena and defecated on it. They metaphorically shit the bed. As a Canadian, you should know better.
Otherwise, another great show. Really enjoying this season with you guys.
I just pictured Jason Terry with that blonde mullet haircut. Highly recommend it others.
What’s the deal with Bogut’s elbow, did you guys see some of the hyper-extended junk he was throwing up at the line against the Lakers?
Barf.
