“It’s also a nice excuse not to play hard,” D’Antoni said. “That’s a classic, ‘I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.’ Well, you don’t have trouble getting up to the paystub line. You know what you need to do to get your check. You know what to do. They will. They’ll figure it out.”

hahaha I love this guy

Haha I heard that a little while ago. Hilarious.

Gasol really does need to step it up even though he is "injured". Seems like he doesn't want to get traded.

And I haven't posted since Kobe came back because I am trying to reserve my opinion but I am starting to reach the limit. Now with Blake gone though, there will be no way I can say it down the road. He will be looked at as the "hero" again since he will be the main one with the ball...

Not happy with how Kobe's been and how they've been playing obviously. I haven't seen him this insecure in some of his answers to the media either. Trying to just prop himself up kinda.

And as for management, not sure how to judge them yet. I bet they're happy they can at least they can put their $200 valet parking back up with Kobe in the building...If their plan is to now trade Gasol, use the stretch provision on Nash, and let Kobe run the ship while we go down to the 10th or below, then I actually kinda like that =).

they need to come up with some mysterious injury issue so they can "rest" DeRozan and lose every game.
how about plantar fasciitis?

Trade Lowry for draft picks,
"develop" Ross ( 30+ minutes a game against every teams starting small forward )
"develop" Valantunis ( or whatever his name is).

fire Dwayne Casey if he refuses to send Ross and valanciunas out there for 30+ minutes a game.
replace him with some token canadian who will shove the team into a nose dive.

the Raptors need to "run the table" and lose every single game the rest of the year.

They're already in this process. I think they're actually gonna shop DeRozan as well instead of benching him.

With how shitty the Bulls have been playing I almost wish they'd do the same thing. Don't trade Butler or Noah but keep them sidelined with "injuries". Shop Deng to a team that's been given a mandate to make the playoffs for more than maybe he's worth. Try to do the same thing with Gibson. Play Teague/Snell/Augustin way more than we should. Wait for Boozer's contract to come off the books, rebuild with Rose+young core. Too bad the ownership doesn't look like they'll go for it, and too bad Thibs hates tanking.

and yeah Jibba T.Dot is an actual thing, not just some weird shit made up in this thread.

I had to urbandictionary that one. Jalen used it in the Raptors preview, it appears it's an actual thing in Toronto.

Also, Kobe playing point tonight against the Thunder. Westbrick going for 50.

Yeah, but it's also the name of a malicious perpetual troll on Teamliquid.

I keep thinking he's back.

Not gonna lie, I'm liking this lineup. Kobe at point, Meeks, Wes Johnson, Jordan Hill, Pau.

Edit: Perkins has a triple double! 2 boards, 2 assists, 2 points.

I really like the setup Westbrook/Jackson/KD/Ibaka with Lamb/Adams/Collison rotating. Looks solid.

I don't watch a lot Spurs games, but how can tony parker rack up 24 shots and only have one free throw? Every time I watch highlights this guy drives a LOT.

Curry already with 3 fouls with three quarters to go. Not liking the warriors chances.

Not much defense going on this game.

Dwight made a three.
