kevin love seems chippy these days, he had a pretty deliberate hard foul on granger the other day too.

this should result in a suspension of some kind. it'd be a joke if this went unpunished

Wow, he deliberatly kicked him in the face. No way that this was unintentional. I demand a suspension right now!!


And yes, Jeremy Lin's game was sweet. Dwill tried to go 1on1 like 30 times but couldn't hit a basket. Instead he got burned on the defensive end over and over again.

It's funny how the Knicks have had so many problems at the PG position even though they have 5 of them on their roster. You'd think at least one of them would be able to fill in the role. It's not as if they need superstar play out of that position.

How is cases like that kick from Love handled in the NBA, asuming that they think the video is convincing enough that it was deliberate?

He'll probably get an arbitrary ban. I'm thinking about 3 games. It was deliberate, but it wasn't that bad.

A dirty play? Maybe. But as a Timberwolves fan, I love it. Our team hasn't had that kind of toughness since Kevin Garnett.

What do you guys think about this guy and his metrics http://wagesofwins.com/

I'm just saying that he has an awesome prediction success rate with his metric.

Or does he overrate rebounds like everyone says?


I like David Berri. I think his number is a little whacked but that's regression analysis in a team sport for you. I've heard him speak and his basketball knowledge is real but he's sort of a statistician's statistician and I don't think that kind of analysis is all that great for a game like basketball. My best for instance is how much Berri loved loved Landry Fields last year and the year before that. I think he have him at like .222 WP48. But that's obviously not the case. Landry Fields is not twice as productive as an average shooting guard! Not to sound like an ignorant ass but he can't even dunk. They've also had Andrea Bargnani as the single worst active NBA player and he just isn't. I don't think it's a very predictive model.

I'm sure WP has its uses though. I still look at it and I read his blog.

dropping 60 in china doesn't really mean much, everyone knows what he can give to an nba team. every team should be looking to get him, if he goes from the china price lite of 2.5, boston, chicago, lal, lac, ny, orlando, gsw, jazz, denver, okc, etc. I think its more a matter of where can he showcase himself the most to land a contract next year. which, I think would be ny, lal or gsw.

ya I think Smith would prob go NY or LAL..if he goes LAL he would pretty much be first small off the bench. Maybe even put him in at SG at times and slide Kobe to the SF?

Love banned for 2 games by NBA for "unintentional" face stomp.

His shooting ability and free agent status are the only reasons the Lakers are interested in him and if we weren't so desperate for a decent shooter off the bench we wouldn't even consider him for all the baggage he comes with.

I myself am of very mixed opinions about him, I know he can play but I also know he's incredibly inconsistent, arrogant, a pain in the butt to deal with in the locker room.

Could he be just what the lakers need right now? absolutely, but could he also be more trouble than he's worth yes.

I get that many teams would be hesitant to pick up JR considering his tendency to do dumb shit over and over. However he's still a really good basketball player, so one can always hope the coach of whatever team he ends up in can buckle him down to some extent.

@Holcan, yeah I get that 60 points in China isn't too big, but making 14 3's is pretty decent either way.. I mean, at some point even the worst teams will put some pressure on a shooter

Edit: That stomping ban for Love really fucks me over in fantasy.. oh man..

Why are the Clippers pursuing JR Smith? That would be a pretty dumb move as their 4 point guard rotation is already killing teams. I'd understand of JR Smith was some kind of defensive acquisition but....whatever, Clips management can't be THIS dumb again.

I have a hard time believing that the Clippers pursuing JRS is anything more than a bad rumor.

The Clippers backcourt currently sits at

CP3
Billups
Williams
Foye
Bledsoe

Adding JRS would be nothing more than a waste of money, unless they plan on trading some of their backcourt players before the trade deadline.

Honestly after the Keynon Martin pick up the Clippers are solid at every position both starting and off the bench. They need to just leave their line up alone.

Indeed. I just saw the ESPN headline saying the Clippers told Mo Williams they are not shopping him. Which means Eric Bledsoe would be the most sensible guy on the block.

Which means no JR Smith. Only way I could see them doing anything would be trading Foye + Bledsoe for a bigger 2 guard defensively which still leaves JR Smith out of the picture. Of course grabbing Trevor Ariza from NOH won't happen because it makes too much sense.

Not to be a dick or anything, but it is the CLIPPERS. It's not like they're use to winning and making positive franchise moves.

I could only see the Clippers signing JR if they're making another move that involves trading away two of their guards, i.e. Foye and Bledsoe. I still wouldn't be a huge fan of it though, because I don't know that the Clippers need that kind of instability/unreliability at this point. The strong leadership from both Paul and Billups, and possibly Kmart, could keep him in check, but I don't think JR is going to change who he is at this point.
