J.R. Smith has literally been shanghaied away for the foreshortened 2011-2012 NBA season: rolling ILH sandbox thread

ja adande is literally the worst

like how many times has this happened to you, you see the lil truehoop widget on the espn basketball home page, theres a headline that grabs you so you click through only to find its an adande post, at which point you dont even bother to read the first sentence

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

had to factor into the decision

is super cool beas usually benched for crunch time or was adelman just experimenting with tolliver/ellington?

adelman benched ridnour/johnson/beasley hardcore to try and get the first win.

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

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's arms are insanely long

I wonder how he sizes up compared to dwight or javale

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.

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

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.

tbf durant has had a hell of a week too but i feel like lebron is only person this could happen to, like to be the most famous basketball player AND play by far the best out of anyone and still get snubbed like that

he should have said "C. Spencer Hawes"

lol kanye looks so scared

attn matt armstrong lebron's PER is like 40.5 right now

i love early season krazy statz

the heat's schedule is crazy easy too, he's gonna have a monster year

hah how so

don't all the best teams in the nba have the hardest schedules cuz they all get matched up for tv purposes

beasley is such a terrible nba player, there's no reason for him to be on the floor on crunch time until he learns how to play with four other guys

derrick williams dropped two big 3s in the fourth q last night tho

if beas is able to listen, adelman can give him a big boost in the right direction. he's a good coach.

ha, right

i hope wade & haslem were telling him to listen to his coaches and not do his own thing

At beasley's age, it's too soon to give up hope that he might do some growing up. look at how long it took zach randolph to learn how to mesh with his team.

or to find a team that didn't whine about him and just let him do his thing?

Zach Randolph has been pretty much the same player for the last 5 or 6 years imo. He just happened to win some playoff games so now people are re-assessing because of results-oriented fallacies.

his forehead reflects mad quantities of light iirc

randolph has always been a good on the court player tho, you can't even really say the same for beas. also randolph got infected by the isaiah knicks, so it's hard to hold that against him. also he has an actual position in the nba.

i'm still so pissed about him shooting 11-27 in the opener against the t wolves

er, against the thunder

Beasley is an ok player who could be good with a brain transplant.

Trade Beas to the Lakers!
