NBA 2012: Running thread

I was watching the OKC V Laker game last night and was stunned at how average Dwight Howard looked, saw today on Grantland that Lowe had a good analysis of his issues.

I sure don't know where Dwight is physically but he looked checked out in the game last night, just moved like he was veryt disinterested.

 

Kobe with 42 points and 12 assists as the Lakers come back from down 25 points to beat New Orleans. A 20-0 run to end the game for the Lakers.

 

Pretty lively Bulls Spurs game about to start 4th.

Bulls are a strange team.

 

Wow!

Just found it. Kind of cool.

 

Kobe's playing pretty well lately.

 

Miami's (barely) taken over rights to home court in the Finals with the Spurs, assuming OKC acquiesces.

 

It looks like the Heat were sick of hearing about how the Pacers are the one team in the East that might be able to challenge them.

 

So, last week, Adrian Wojwhatever put on his Mr. Serious hat and got all preachy about Magic Johnson's "bribe" to get LeBron in the dunk contest.

Now, he's bitter that people are having fun with DeAndre Jordan's dunk over Brandon Knight.

I bet this guy KILLS at parties!

 

Yeah, there is a definite "Old Man Yells At Cloud" tone in that column. A little disappointing.

 

I didn't mind it so much. Sportswriter got pissed off, voiced it.

Enjoyed this graf:

Loved Jordan's dunk. Loved Knight getting posterized. Loved that it rubbed Woj the wrong way and he wrote about it.

 

So in an attempt to take up for Knight, who people are picking on, Woj picks on Jordan.

That dunk had nothing to do with Jordan's contract, his offensive moves, or lack thereof, or his ability to score outside the paint.

What a dipshit.
