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

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.

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

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!

irl lols

nba basketball is on right now y'all

the lakers are even floppier with mike brown. It's pretty gross

I feel kind of ashamed about how upset I get about not updating my fantasy teams before afternoon games

wade is 8th in the league in blocks per game

they showed some guy sitting courtside and said it was tom petty but I'm 95% sure it was just a dude

holy shit nene

what the hell sneaks does Andre miller rock? they were untied

like... every nugget choked in this game.

gallo! :(

smh @ staples center starting the MVP chant

nene missing an easy dunk, lawson with the missed FTs, gallo with the missed layup ugh ugh ugh

Brandon Rush
If Jeremy Tyler plays dirty Diana one more. Gonna break his damn headphones

they have trouble w/late game scoring

swhat happens when theres no number 1 dude

spurs three point shooting is RIDIC tonight, 7/8 as a team so far

Wow, so all five Knicks starters in double figures tonight and none of them were Amare. Three with 20+. Josh Harrellson had a double double. Are the Sac Kings just that bad?

why didn't amare start?

oh he was hurt

Fresh off signing a five-year contract extension with the Bulls worth nearly $95 million, Derrick Rose is said to be closing in on another lucrative deal.

Actually?

Lucrative is seriously underselling it based on the figures dribbling in to us.

One industry source insisted to ESPN.com this week that Rose's new shoe deal with adidas will easily crack nine figures and could legitimately approach the $250 million range -- as in $25 million annually over a 10-year span -- in what is known in the shoe game as a "lifetime" deal.

How can the reigning MVP possibly command those kind of dollars as a shoe endorser? Here's how: Rose, as it was explained to me, is adidas' only counter to Kobe Bryant in China. I'm told Rose already outsells LeBron James there.

O________O

I presume deals like this have all sorts of injury clauses?

according to Rick Carlisle, Lamar Odom is on an "action plan" to get into shape

250 million dollars matt armstrong!!!!!!!!

dats a lotta track pants

naw those shoe deal numbers are well known to be bullshit for the purposes of publicity

I mean think abt it

"I don't know what that was," center DeMarcus Cousins said. "Running the offense coach tells us to run. Just doing what coach say. Got to do what your coach say."

Tyreke Evans, who scored 14 points on 5-for-13 shooting, seemed even more out of sorts.

"I just try to get open as I can and create," Evans said. "It's no real set for me, nobody really in the offense. Just pass, cut. We lost; nobody really knows what to do. I think that's what's really hurting us right now.

"We just look lost," Evans said. "We're just playing off our natural talent to get our points. It's terrible right now. We've just got to figure something out."

Gotta agree with them; the kings offense seems pretty random and I don't think that's a good idea for their roster.

Would be interesting to see them try the Triangle.

would be interesting to see them in therapy, you need to seek help kings

bulls-grizz, lakers-nuggs, blazers-clips should all be good games tonight

This Timberwolves season feels so exactly and creepily like the last one that it's hard to get excited :/
