Still think they get game 7 though.

Josh Smith and Corey Brewer combined for 29 points (5 threes) in the 4th. Pretty sure the end of the world is near.

They pretty much never call it anyway, so I am ok with it.

You cant watch the Bulls and expect to see an NBA-level offense.

Meanwhile, the Clippers continue to burn a hole in my heart. Its like being an Arizona Basketball fan... Oh wait.

TucsonClip

Look, I don't care about the NBA nor it's attendance. You brought up attendance as some sort of proof that because something is popular makes it good...which is not the case. I brought up attendance because it does matter. It matters to the owners, it matters to the NBA union, it matters to the pro...

TucsonClip

I could give a rats ass what attendence was. Nickelback being extremely popular doesn't make them a great band. Furthermore, the tourney just had some incrdedible ratings this year, and believe Vegas was quite happy too. The shot clock will do nothing to the game. Zip, zero, zilch. Not without othe...

Look you guys can say the iso is gone from the NBA, but every time I tune into a game, I see someone going one on one and throwing up a horrible shot...that sometimes goes in. True the Spurs were an anomaly recently, which everyone outside of a few fans found boring. That's the problem right there....

TucsonClip

I like watching the NBA, but for entirely separate reasons than CBB. The NBA is fun because you get to watch the best basketball players in the world demonstrate their skill in pure form. It does deemphasize coaching to some extent, but that's fine. You watch to see Steph Curry shake defenders and ...

TucsonClip

It's evolved from clear-out/ "hero ball." At least for the teams that want to win it. Spurs certainly didn't win that way. More ball movement and balanced scoring now. Memo to NBA: "Hero Ball" has a negative connotation. Absolutely hate this marketing piece from the NBA. They are typically on point...

TucsonClip

People are acting like the NBA is a better game...it's not. It has more talented players, but as for the game, it is not better. I'll give you an example. Listening to the radio (cause I don't watch much of the NBA anymore) the discussion was on a revolutionary change that Steve Kerr made on defens...

He really needs to work on his shot if he wants to stick on an NBA roster.

More of the same for the Rockets... Harden not getting his lame calls, Redick doing a masterful job defensively on him (again) and they quit in the 3rd quarter. Josh Smith showing everyone, on a national stage, why Stan Van Gundy used the stretch provision and waived his ass. Played 29 minutes in Ga...

TucsonClip

Honestly dont see a way, barring CP3 being out for the entire series, the Rockets advance. They seem to lose focus easily, lack energy unless Harden is going and needed 64 free throws attempts (2 off the all-time NBA playoff record) to win Game 2. The Clippers offense was stagnant in the second half...

Do not like Hundley at all. Plus hes not an Arians type QB.

I watched Shane Ray's tape on youtube against Florida. Thought Humphries looked pretty good. Also, I think Jurecki sent out the tweet last night that everyone kept talking about how he dominated Dupree in the UK game. Im always for BPA. However, I was pissed when Denver jumped ahead of us for Ray. D...

TucsonClip

Keim went BPA on his board. Humphries seems to have a lot of upside, but I dont think they trust Massie at all.

TucsonClip

Dont think Rondae will ever be the passer or have the handles of Iggy.

We'll see what happens during the combine and workouts, but he needs to be on a team that lacks a perimeter stopper, has a solid PG, good spacing and shooters.

Still think Toronto is a great fit.

It always cracks me up just how off a preseason expectation can be. Clip called Rockets and Hawks. It be very interesting to see how good a team like Dallas would be now had they not traded for Rondo. They looked great early. What's funny is had they not acquired Rondo, he may have gone to Rockets,...

Saw on the FB group that SJ did receive a promise, think it was from the Hornets, but didn't really pay attention. Seriously? Please No... I love MKG but thats not a system I want to see him in.

I really believe he gets drafted in the 2nd. Lots of talent and potential on offense to be a solid reserve on a good team. His defense is a whole different story, but he has the tools to stick in the NBA as a stretch 4 who can also work on the block.

I don't disagree with some of what LK is saying. Im anxious to see how Stanley translates to the NBA. He isn't a top level athlete by any means. He struggles to finish at the rim, especially against size and length. I do like his pull up game, his size and the ability to draw fouls. However, I don't...

TucsonClip

The rookie scale must be collectively bargained before it can be changed. I understand your point, but the counter to this argument is simple. The faster you can sign an extension (3rd year on a 1st round rookie deal) the more money you make. Therefore, the counter is to enter the NBA draft as soon ...

There are no reworked rookie pay scales. Those are collectively bargained.

If Michael Kidd-Gilchrist can rework his entire shot in two seasons, so can Rondae. There are plenty of great shooting coaches in the NBA. The Spurs have Engelland, the Clippers hired Bob Thate to rework Griffin's jumper and the Hornets hired Mark Price for MKG. Shane Battier did it at Duke. It's a...

If you're an NBA GM, which guy do you like more, Zeus or Ashley? Ashley is obviously a more complete player, but Zeus is a legit 7 footer with good athleticism. Ashley and its not even a question in my mind. Ashley has the skill to play a quality role in an NBA offense. He can shoot the jumper, pla...

TucsonClip

Russell is a SG who can handle the ball, has good vision and can shoot. Im still up in the air about Stanley. I think he will benefit from the added spacing in the NBA, allowing him to power his way through contact. The problem is that there is even more size at the rim and he already struggles to f...

San Diego because... well... Duh. Plus I can get up to LA anytime I need to.

TucsonClip

Jordan isn't leaving the Clippers.

That said, this is part of the reason why I think it was a good move. I think the pick lands in the middle to back of the lottery. Knight makes much more sense than selecting at 7-12.

Ive had him ranked in the 15-20 range. Dont put too much stock in tournament games. Regardless, this is a matchup every scout will be watching. Tyrus Thomas disagrees... How'd that work out?

The Suns will have near $15 million in cap space this summer by my estimates, including Knight's cap hold ($7.18), Granger's PO and the Suns picks

TucsonClip

A Knight-Bledsoe backcourt is dynamic and just awesome.

Knight is a good shooter and better off the ball. Bledose can play off the ball but a bit better with it. Both very good defenders. Perfect match, even better than Dragic IMO.
