is it just me or has Paul missed a lot of foul shots this year

Paul/Rose is a fun matchup to watch

Vinny Del Negro looks like he's going for an 80s Kurt Russell thing

this loss is on del negro, shockingly. played his best players way too much, paul and griffin are both totally gassed
― k3vin k., Saturday, 31 December 2011 05:47 (twelve years ago) link
what the hell was griffin doing after that dunk

Clippers do not play defense.
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 31 December 2011 05:52 (twelve years ago) link
Griffin is actually a surprisingly unselfish player for someone as good as him, but this team actually kind of needs heroics from him. Which I do think he's starting to get.
― Hurting, Saturday, 31 December 2011 05:54 (twelve years ago) link
I played with a pickup dude who shot like Noah. He wasn't a bad shooter.
― Hurting, Saturday, 31 December 2011 06:00 (twelve years ago) link
griffin really needs to stop taking these 22 footers
anyway clippers got pretty exposed tonight, their starting 5 can run with anyone but once they get tired it's pick your poison: either play with gassed stars or pray your thoroughly average second unit can break even

WHY IS PAUL STILL OUT THERE
― k3vin k., Saturday, 31 December 2011 06:06 (twelve years ago) link
so does vinny del negro make it through the all star break?

the bulls are just really good -- if rose is dropping 16 dimes and shooting 75% from three no one but the heat has a prayer of beating them

actually dont think playing the clips starters big minutes is a bad idea right now, its a bad idea if they do it all season, but right now they need time to gel, also their bench sucks, also ricky rubio gdamn kid can play, also the heat have barely beat two bad teams the last two games and despite being 4-0 their point differential is only 5.5, and batier was 0-5 all threes lol, norris cole had a dece game tho
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Saturday, 31 December 2011 14:15 (twelve years ago) link
haha batier has 4pts all season and is shooting 10%

man i know its hard when you're just watching someone's highlights but my god rubio plays such a slow and calm game and is making jokers like anthony randolph look great. here's to the twolves for being the endearingly wacky team of the next 2 years.

keep wondering if wolves had drafted greg monroe or cousins instead of wesley johnson

Ricky Rubio is the fifth Beatle.

I wonder how he sizes up compared to dwight or javale
rubio looked pretty amazing, such a deft passer
― k3vin k., Saturday, 31 December 2011 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
last night proved i can't reasonably handle league pass without totally screwing up my life but:
ricky rubio is actually really good, v rondo-esque, though he is um not going to make an all-defensive team any time soon
is super cool beas usually benched for crunch time or was adelman just experimenting with tolliver/ellington?
sometimes i forget that dwayne wade is better at basketball than almost anyone else on the planet
watched the end and overtime of pacers/cavs (lol) but pacers look really good, david west was an excellent pickup for them, gives them some clutch scoring. even if he's only 75% healthy yet he reminds me of 05-ish elton brand, if you need 2 points just dump it to him in the post, really interesting team that plays hard
pistons are a dumpster fire
bulls just better/more cohesive so far and clips still figuring things out, as i think i posted a bunch of times last year griffin still needs to develop that elbow jumper that duncan and kg have and he will be unstoppable. i think he knows he needs to do this which is encouraging
vinny d will live out his contract this year and that's it
rose is so unbelievable, i'm always amazed when he dives into a bunch of big guys in the lane and literally disappears on my tv and a shot comes flying out and banks in

tldr: local boston and minnesota commercials are awesome and a primary feature of league pass

indianas a stacked young team, perfect possistion to trade for a superstar - rubios supposed to be an excellent defender from what everyone says, may take him a lil while to figure out the nba tho, heard him complaining in an interview abt how handchecking is a foul over here lol
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Saturday, 31 December 2011 16:28 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i saw him doing a lot of euro-style swipes at the ball when he was beat by his man, something manu did a bit when he first came over, he'll get better as he's probably just adjusting to how fast someone like wade can lose him on a pick or even just 1-1

Did Rubio say if being balls deep in every UM coed was part of his reason for coming to the US?

he's an awesome on-ball pest, but his team defense and off-ball defense have a long way to go.
sounds like a good start

deandre and javale both have 7'6 reaches, javale is an inch taller. Dwight's reach is 7'4.5, but it's more remarkable because he's only 6'9.

that's like the one totally awful Kahn move that's at least somewhat understandable. They couldn't go with another gravity-bound big man with Love and Jefferson around.
What's hilarious is that the next draft they actually had a chance to get an athletic center who would fit alongside Love, but they didn't do it because Kahn had invested so much of his reputation in Darko.
