Knicks should continue their streak I think. They played good basketball the last two games.

Pacers will play 3 games in four days, playing SAS, Thunder - both on the road in B2B, one day rest and then Heat at home... Some schedule...

 

[divol]

Wow, what a start for the game in MSG...

As for games tonight, I doubt Heat have revenge on their minds, but I also doubt they will want to lose three games out of the last four.

Thunder should win tonight as well. Indiana off a big win in SA and has a big game against the Heat on Tuesday.

 

[hugh613]

Mike Woodson might want to start working on his resume again...

 

[B.A.R.]

Holy shit at that score right now, wow.

No Stuckey, Billups, Bynum for Pistons ... no Wade, no Beasley for Miami.

Lol Knicks got too comfortable. They used to be good in the matinee games no?

 

[nbafan88]

Thunder 15-5 ats last 20 Sunday home games

 

[Toronto_Mike]

Raptors just made a trade to Sacramento

Rudy Yag, Quincy Acy, Aaron Gray
for
Vasquez, Salmons, Hayes, Patterson

 

[Toronto_Mike]

just unloaded on Lakers -5

 

[guaranteeed]

Massi said 2 days ago they wouldn't get caught in no mans land

incoming top 5 pick

 

[Toronto_Mike]

Masai is not stupid, I personally know the dude from my days working with his suit tailor. He's a very smart dude and he has his vision for this team, Yag was BC's original stud but not Masai's.

 

[Toronto_Mike]

Julius Randle, Parker, Wiggins, please any of those 3!

 

[Greencastle]

Yep

took lakeshow 1st half and game

 

[hugh613]

Raptors just made a trade to Sacramento

Rudy Yag, Quincy Acy, Aaron Gray
for
Vasquez, Salmons, Hayes, Patterson

So basically they acquired a couple of expiring contacts and no one with any upside. I guess with the Clippers becoming legit now someone needed to fill the void as worst franchise in the league...

heck we both know it was going to be tough to get rid of Rudy Yag's contract! So why not just do it now. Vasquez is a competent backup PG, wouldn't mind him. Patterson is rookie contract, Salmons and Hayes are just role players! I really just hope we get top 5, simply can't go wrong with the 5 projected! Just hope Bob Babcock doesn't make a phone call.

 

[nbafan88]

Crazy deal.

 

[Retburj13]

took some craptors

deals like these the "others" try to prove their worth

they aren't anywhere close to that

they have a top 5 GM who knows you have to bottom out

he wants to build around Jonas Christ Superstar plus whomever they can get in June, Wiggins would be outstanding but any of the top 5 with this team and they are on the way up big time

 

[hugh613]

I don't know but seems to me his predecessor had a pretty good pedigree and that didn't work out so well. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

As for the Kings, there's another organization that makes no sense: bring in Rudy Yag a week after trading for Derrick Williams, and now have two players in your starting 5 who like to take all the shots while expecting the other 4 to stand around and watch.
