Um, Paul George grew two inches in the offseason, now stands 6-foot-10 apparently. — http://indy.st/seg1la #whut

Remember when Kahn turned down Paul George for Jonny Flynn, lulz
paul george a lot of people are really psyched on him
not sure ive seen him play particularly
I was sold when I found out that he set the team record for deflections.
deflections are da bomb, wish it was easier to get that stat.
The site isn’t going to die, far from it, and you will learn more about the plan to keep it soon (if you are interested in writing for NBAPlaybook, send your credentials to writ✧✧✧@NBAPlayb✧✧✧.c✧✧).
lol
i have an idea what the plan might be
paul george is gonna be pretty awesome
woj kinda goes in on stern/nba:

preseason games tomorrow!
wow that’s one hell of an unsourced claim by woj in the first two paragraphs
this is gonna be such a shitshow, teams have like one week to gel
I still cannot think of ‘yahoo sports’ as a legitimate sports news organization that gets scoops
but the coincidence is uncanny dpnt u see
i kind of want to spring for league pass but i think my gf would legitimately murder me
I will never tire of sports columnists making a ‘point’ by using one sentence paragraphs
actually it’s the worst fucking thing in the world
The process matters.
The process was everything.

^^^^^otm
honestly more than anything else it’s the sick need to give those their own paragraphs, like that could be a pretty strong turn if used properly but why do you have to draw attention to it like that, it’s so fuckin hackish
it reminds me of coaches who “take it one game at a time”
well how would you take it, coach dayo
two creams and a sugar
lol well done
this reminds me of some twitter thing now what was that

im honestly not sure what youre talking abt
It’s pruitti, right? Who’s always going on about how he is about to go to bed? Just reminded me of that is all.
oh lol duh
it is kind of suprising that the top bid for billups was just 2m.
guess his threats worked?

I don’t believe this. Your girlfriend was way too nice that one time I met her in the middle of the night and spoke to her for a good 90 seconds.
lol yeah she is the best in every possible way except she likes no sports. so i’m just imagining the reaction if i was like “hey i just spent $170 to make sure i can watch even more sports!”
Tell her you’ll save more than that by not going to bars to watch the games. Beer at home is way, way cheaper.
I envisageshe’d engage in more of a slow burn accompanied by a competant stink eye than a full onslaught with beak and talons resulting in mortal wounds.
dont tell her you got it just be all ‘hey look basketball is on again what luck’
My wife is encouraging me to buy it this year so I stop groaning about crappy streams from the Arab world.

i pay the cable bill so this actually has a chance of working
they should pro rate this year’s LP
66 games = 80% of 82—so why not charge 80% of the original price?
i’m pretty sure they did
$170 is the discounted price? O_O
yeah iirc i looked last year and it was a bit more
i mean i SHOULD be able to live on the espn/tnt games, the nbatv game on tuesday, and local broadcasts. but the league was so great last year! interesting games like every night!
my gf is a saint for watching so many games with me
I don’t have a TV—wonder if DSL is enough for 720p streaming or w/e
i had broadband league pass last year but it wasn’t hd :(
how was it? skippy, laggy?
lol travis outlaw amnestied by nets—still doesn’t explain why he had a 5 year 35 mil contract in the first place
the consistency of the video was actually pretty good. occasionally you’d have it lag, but that was pretty rare. one notable thing with watching games that had already been broadcast was that the timeline/progress bar for the player didn’t have numbers on it and was sort of wonky in a way that made it harder to skip commercials and halftime bs.
the website acts like games are hd now, so maybe that’s changed, or my connection just sucks
i’m getting league pass again. apparently it’s going to be higher definition this year?
the quality of the videos was great/no lag but for some reason when i’d hook up the laptop to the TV in the living room it’d lag on the big screen, idk
I got an AT&T DSL package but just the DSL, I hope they don’t make me sign up for AT&T TV or some bullshit just to get the league pass
just wanted to say for the record: clippers fan club president right here
encino division or los gatos division?
lol bill simmons is unwell
• Along those same lines: Since they know the Rockets are hot for Gasol, why wouldn’t they tinker with that same Rockets package from last week’s vetoed three-teamer (Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic and a 2012 o. 1 pick), see if they can dump Walton’s contract in the deal (and maybe take back Hasheem Thabeet’s expiring deal), then see if they can flip Martin to Milwaukee (for Stephen Jackson and a draft pick), Denver (in a sign-and-trade for Arron Afflalo) or Phoenix (for Jared Dudley, Mickael Pietrus’ expiring deal and a future pick)? If their ultimate play is Dwight Howard, wouldn’t it make more sense to deal Gasol for multiple pieces, then make a run at Howard with Bynum plus some of those pieces? Let’s say they made that Houston deal (Gasol for Scola, Martin, Dragic and a 2012 no. 1 pick), then quickly flipped Bynum, Martin, Dragic, their 2012 no. 1 pick and Houston’s no. 1 pick for Howard and J.J. Redick (and kept Scola for themselves). Now you’re looking at Howard, Scola (such an underrated offensive player), Metta World Peace, Kobe and Fisher as starters, with McRoberts, Blake and Redick off the bench. That’s a pretty good outcome, right?
• i’m turning bright red and there’s steam coming out of my ears!
lakers got worse, clippers got good, mavs got worse, p good offseason imo
did spurs do anything other than ditch jefferson?
wha’ bout the heat? same old, same old.
didn’t officially ditch him, they have until tomorrow to do it, doesn’t look like they will since all the SFs they pursued signed elsewhere.
ohhh i thought they did it. who else were they looking at?
oh we got TJ ford, game over western conference
their shortlit appeared to be caron, battier, grant hill, and Josh Howard
p glad we didn’t get howard
wha’ bout the heat? same old, same old.
sort of. keep yr eye on the rookie point-guard, norris cole. he will be the starter by january.
and, obv., miami hopes eddy curry will drop the rest of the weight (maybe 30 pounds) and be back to his old form. he’s lost 70 already. rooting for him.
shortlist, excuse me
just hoping kawhi Leonard is a beast
xp
howard would have been a bizarre fit on the spurs
if eddy curry loses 100 lbs. his breasts will look like my granny’s
would have been the first spurs dude since the 80s to get caught with copious amounts of drugz
if eddy curry loses 100 lbs. his breasts will look like my granny’s
:(
GIS result for eddy curry:
Asked about how he felt about having the NBA refuse to authorize his trade for Pau Gasol, Morey said, “On the advice of counsel I can’t talk about it.”
Morey said he “literally” had been advised by legal counsel, but would not specify why he had discussion with an attorney (Morey’s counsel advised that the NBA may even fine him if he was too outspoken about the subject).
“I just can’t comment on that,” Morey said.
I really do hope the NBA gets sued over it.
What are the damages?
oh i read that as “contract” but that would be better for the mavs
anyone see highlights of the heat scrimmage last night? apparently bron spent the whole time in the post (or paying lip service to the post, we’ll see) and norris cole looked good.

lol still room for u coop but this bandwagon is getting crowded fast
*clutches tix to lac-bos in march*
this b roy story kinda had me on the verge of tears for various reasons
http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2011/12/brandon_roy_says_he_knew_it_wa.html
b roy played in the right city. he will always be adored by portlanders, even if he lives to be 100. and for damn good reason.
got all excited because I thought that said “no contract for Vince Carter”
no contact for vince carter (with the dallas mavericks, because they realized this was a bad idea)
I’m glad Roy gets the rest of his contract money, rather than nothing due to retirement.
He would have got paid if it was a medical retirement, just insurance and not Paul Allen would’ve paid for most of it.
tbf the vince carter contract is only for the new ‘luxury tax payers exemption’ (like $3m) and only guaranteed for a year, so theyre basically playing back up prices for a back up quality player w/no long term risk
kinda crazy that vince and billups got signed for 3 and 2 mill respectively
oh man that roy story is ;_;
on twitter yesterday jason quick, the beat guy who wrote that piece, said that at the end of the interview he and brandon said something in the range of “i love you” to each other, which is crazy in the world of sports, the world of journalism, and maybe particularly in the world of sports journalism.
sorry guys, it’s portland, we emo.
^^ otm
preseason basketball, u guys!
twitter is suggesting that i follow cp3 : /
he and brandon said something in the range of “i love you” to each other,
aw!
jan vesely alert
lol who’s that
I wonder how much of my brain is devoted to NBA player names—like when I’m 95 I’m gonna wake up one day and be like “CORLISS WILLIAMSON!!!”
hahaha
