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

i guess teams not being able to score inside on the celtics right after garnett arrived was just ~magic~

Shaqtus definitely deterred more layups come on.

when did thibs coach for boston

shaq was sick for a while but then he got fat

shaq is the biggest human being ever, so that's prob true

like how could you even be as big as shaq, it defies logic imo

They had Garnett playing awesome man defense! On opposing team's best big men. But challenging drives to the basket? That's never been his best asset.

I'm just narrowing down possibilities jh0

he was straight patrolling the paint! as someone who watched all the games i assure you!

or should I say... SCOOPS

has any NBA ever tried the 'fat goalie' theory of defense - get somebody who is literally so fat that guards would get called for charges any time they tried to make a layup

hes actually is vulnerable one on one if the opposing player has weight on him, he matches up well w/gasol but not zach randolph, for that they had perk, rip

he's always been a cherry picker with blocks. If it's a serious challenge at the rim he bails. That's why he's averaged fewer blocks than Gasol. He might "patrol the paint," but he doesn't guard the rim.

you can't draw a charge with love handles.

c'mon this is def worth a try

btw I'm not saying KG is a bad rim protector, but in the scheme of his herculean defensive gifts, it's the least.

well maybe hes better at defending point guards in the backcourt, but that skill just isnt that valuable is the thing, considering the relative value of the defensive things he does guarding the rim is his most important defensive contribution

there's no way he's the second best at it over the last decade though, that's crazy

with the twolves he wasn't even as good at it as Nesterovic.

This is all so great. They can cancel the season and just keep trading star players, then canceling the trades, and concocting new trades, round-the-clock.

Come Xmas day I won't have the slightest idea who plays for which team beyond Dirk being on the Mavs.

kobe is mad lol

Seeing this makes me happy.

knicks are gonna get crawford in a sign-and-trade

just what they need

Perk lost 32 pounds and looks like a different dude!

big pic so didn't embed

wow! hes lost like a hundred pounds since being drafted

whut

what the fuck!

him and jonah hill need to be in a buddy comedy now

getting away from Big Baby was good for him.

not sure what thats gonna do for his game tho, his best skill was being able to lean on dwight howard

yeah i had the same thought

might improve his overall durability?

maybe KG gets to call him a cancer patient now

:-)

sarcasm? sometimes it's hard to tell.

Janis Carr: Metta World Peace was joking when said he was out of shape. "If I showed u my abs right now, you'd probably leave your husband." about 34 minutes ago

lol

ramonashelburne @ramonashelburne -- Couldn't help notice Kobe Bryant head up to Kupchak's office after speaking with the media today.

i would have found it really hard to root against a lakers team with world peace and cp3 on it tbch

Rick Carlisle: "But I will say this, Khloe’s my favorite Kardashian. She’s the coolest."

awesome

pacers signed david west 2 years 20 million. seems like a decent deal

houston close to signing marc gasol for max/contract via sign-and-trade with memphis.

that's a good deal for the pacers

O_O @ marc

pretty sad about that, was loving that memphis team
