SAS/MIN game in Mexico City tonight has been put in jeopardy, after the arena had to be evacuated due to an electrical fire.

I'd love to hear Pop's reaction to this.

Yikes. Sounds like the game is cancelled, teams are going home, per nba tv.

David Stern not gonna be happy.

Blazers proving that they're the real deal with a win over OKC. Also, Suns with a win over the Rockets wahahhaha suck it Dwight.

Knicks-BK was supposed to be one of the best games of the year. Just amazing it's now against 2 last place teams

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Could the Bulls actually blow this lead?

1 more game like this and Kidd has to be gone...

Did you see that ****ing flop by Griffin tonight? Bayless was fighting through a screen, and Griffin went down, like Bayless hit him with a bat!

It truly makes me wonder just how bad he'll be once his "talent" starts to fade and all he has left is the flop. I'm beginning to think the highlight of his career might have been jumping over the car in the dunk competition, which I have always thought was stupid to begin with.

They are practicing 4 players and Kidd had to suit up. That team is decimated by injuries at the moment. It's not a good team, but it's not this bad.

MONTA ELLIS HAVE IT ALL!

Funny to listen to Brent Barry on NBA TV, saying that there are laker fans, and there are Kobe fans, and on a night like tonight, it's hard to not be both. And here I am sitting here, thinking, "Actually, Brent Barry, it's remarkably easy to not be either."

 

[Kingsfan23]

The Warriors would be so much better if they had a quality bench

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I see that Wardell² showed out in front of his old man tonight.

I agree Commish Silver. Get rid of NBAs now irrational divisions. In fact, I'd go further and get rid of East and West conf. or at least re-seed entire league at end of season with start of playoffs. Recall when Kings were one game from NBA finals it was obvious whoever won matchup between us and Lakers was going to easily win NBA championship facing over-matched New Jersey Nets. Lakers swept Nets in probably most boring NBA finals in history.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Brook Lopez is the non-reboundingest center in the entire league.

Is that a word, boss? Non-reboundingest???

INDIANA!!!

By the way, what's taking so long for Salmons and the other folks to get to Toronto? They weren't even on the bench against the Spurs.

God damn.

Not Reke related by NO related, I couldn't be happier any deal to get Ryan Anderson by Petrie fell through.

He has got to be the softest starting PF in the league and more one-dimensional than any other as well. Bargnani is a better all around player than him. He's also quite the black hole. Forces up garbage every time he touches the rock.

The +/- for the starters is really quite a feat.

Well to be fair he isn't supposed to be the starting PF. He's only starting because Davis has been out. And if you consider that he's always out on the perimeter it's no surprise that his rebounding numbers aren't very high. To his credit he does his job well though. He's out there to shoot 3s and is shooting 48% on 3 pointers. He's also tried to add this Dirk step away jumpshot that he frankly hasn't even come close to mastering. Lastly, New Orleans' overall offense isn't one to write home about. They are like a more talented version of our offense under Westphal.

Overall I think he deserves a pass because he's averaging 20 points on 46% shooting and has also had personal issues/tragedy to deal with. Doesn't contradict the sentiment that he's soft though.

RUN THROUGH THE TAPE!

Pretty cool to see the person ZBO has become. He just won the "NBA Volunteer of the month" or something like that I believe.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So, with all three of the gd lakers' point guards injured, it's being suggested that D'Antoni may start Kobe Bryant at the 1 against Oklahoma City.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Haven't seen Kobe post injury but I thought I read he might struggle enough athletically checking 2s, but maybe that's inaccurate
