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

the wolves might suck for the entirety of kahn's tenure, but wolves fans could do worse than watching rubio, williams and k love play every night

eman shumpert had 16

wow am0n looks crazy athletic

not watching, but apparently dwight howard totally phoning it in during the preseason game with the heat. 24 minutes, 5 points, 4 rebounds IIRC.

obv., it's just a preseason game, but this same line has been picked-up by several commentators. it seems to end with, "it can't go on like this," and suggestions that dwight is sending a "trade me now" message to magic management.

jameer nelson is also 0-10.

well, it is a preseason game.

still, heat were up a moment ago 104 -- 67.

my brother is at the game, he just checked in to tell me that the heat's d leaguers are shitting on the magic's starters

lol dwight is such a petulant little shit. there's this thing called professionalism, that's implied when you're being paid 20 million a season

yeah, dwight might be incredibly immature -- multi-millionaire at the age of 18 who legit pretends to be superman....

wish that could be photoshopped w/ dwight being held on the tray by otis smith

outrageous. there is only one "superman," and that is Shaq, "The Diesel", "Shaq Fu", "The Big Daddy", "The Big Agave", "The Big Cactus", "The Big Shaqtus", "The Big Galactus", "Wilt Chamberneezy", "The Big Baryshnikov", "The Real Deal", "Dr. Shaq" (after earning his MBA), "The Big Shamrock", "The Big Leprechaun", "Shaqovic," and "The Big Conductor"

every time i convince myself that i hate shaq i remember his nicknames

The Big Agave

"wilt chamberneezy" is a personal favorite.

damn bruh

Tom Haberstroh
Stan Van Gundy to media on what went wrong: "If you guys can't figure it out right now, you're in the wrong business."

can't help but think this is a bad strategy by dwight.

warriors trade Lou Amundson for Brandon Rush

and b davis to the lol knicks

the Knicks are a misplaced MSG banana peel away from having their entire team becoming crippled

brandon rush is gonna go hammer from three in GS

dwight's line is horrific but did he actually do something bad?

Can someone more knowledgeable than me take a stab at who the Knicks are going to start at PG and SG? Davis and Bibby = an old, tired back line, but otoh Bibby can hit threes and Davis is a good passer. The younger guys are all pretty young and untested though. I guess whoever starts, the backup is going to see heavy play time?

feel like baron has a lot more left in the tank than bibby. i'm almost certain that he's the starting pg and will play ~30 mpg. i imagine you'll see a lot of different combinations of landry fields, bibby, toney douglas, etc. split between the guard spots, though.

NYK have talent, but they're very injury-prone, and i think chandler was worth far more to dallas than he will to new-york.

most importantly, tho, i am confident that mike d'antoni will screw it up.

I can sort of see an offense that relies on Davis getting it inside to the big men quickly and kickouts to bibby. I sort of don't know where Carmelo fits in, but I don't exactly understand how he fits in to any offense other than just trying to score a lot.

"scoring a lot" is 'melo's niche.

also: throwing tantrums 'till he's traded.

I mean my impression of it is "scoring a lot in a not particularly efficient or useful (beyond the fact that it is scoring, obv) way"

isn't baron injured until february or something?

hey dudes the new ruler of north korea is a lakers fan just a heads up on that

bad timing

wow first odom now Kim-Jong, things lookin bleak in lakerlland

god dammit, i love kg

Any recent pictures of Baron, cuz I think I just saw him on the street in midtown, going into a cafe or something. Was sort of distracted b/c rushing back to work. He had less facial hair than I remember though so wondering if he trimmed/shaved it recently.

yeah found one
