Running 2014-15 NBA Thread

Wear was that published?

 

I liked the poem posted in one of the replies:
Roses are red

Violets are blue

Thanks for the money

I'm not passing fuck you

- Melo

 

Hell of a flurry in the last 10 minutes of the trading deadline.

 

I think Reggie Jackson will be an all star eventually. Whoever is responsible for scouting for OKC deserves a lot of credit.

 

I don't know about you, Tony, but all these contracts being swapped every year has contributed to my declining interest in the NBA. Thought the Bucks came off pretty well. You?

 

Me too. There is little logic to NBA trades as it relates to skill and team building. It all a mathematical decision.

 

I think the Bucks came out well, too. I think Carter-Williams is more a true point guard than Knight. Then again, scoring point guards are kind of the thing now so who knows? The Bucks GM John Hammond sounds like he's quite high on Ennis, who is only 20. I did like what I saw of Plumlee last year. He has lost some time to Len this season, but I like how he gets up and down the court.

 

Kobe is on the Grantland Hour. Terrific conversationalist.

 

Got it DVRd. WIll watch tonight. Apparently, he disputed the report that he would retire after next season?

 

Watched the first 40 minutes. He said it's tough to know when it's time and used an analogy to try to drive home his point

He wants to play forever. He knows he can't.

I thought Simmons was pretty good, and Jalen always adds great perspective.

 

Was his analogy of it tough to know when its time, the girl in the Colorado hotel room? Because he got that one wrong.

 

Rajon Rondo has been suspended for tonight's game by the Mavs for insubordination. The guy is flakier than grandma's biscuits.
