I stopped watching that. Too much porn can't be good.

The other day, Joel Anthony played 0 minute 1 second for entire game and still scored 2 points. That's insane level of efficiency. Imagine him playing at this level for 30 seconds per game.

J.R. Smith turned into Andrea Bargnani in their game against Houston.

Clippers/Mavericks was a pretty good one yesterday, though it brought about yet another injury to a big name as Chris Paul separated his shoulder on a hard fall. Some impressive three point marksmanship in the first half; it was one of those games were both teams were defending reasonably well, but a few players seemed to be knocking everything down. Good down-to-the-wire victory for the Clippers, though it's likely going to be a tough 3-5 weeks without CP3.

Hey, JJ Redick is coming back pretty soon :)

Kevin Love :shake: but Wolves should've won that game, thanks to some bad calls in the end.

This is couple days late, surprised no one Wall/Beal combo yet.

Chris Paul is out for a long 6 weeks...]:

Currently, what I'm most eager to see in the NBA is what happens with Bynum & Melo.

Of course, JR Smith untying shoes is great entertainment as well.

I guess Curry will get the starting all star nod for the west with Paul out. If the voting stays consistent, and Kobe is still out, the west backcourt will be Jeremy Lin and Curry.

I imagine they'll both continue to get votes and thus get selected anyway, meaning injury replacements and new starters as decided by whomever ends up coaching the West.

That's right, I forgot about that.

Oladipo is a stud. Cleveland done goofed big time. Oladipo would have been a perfect backcourt mate for Kyrie. Strong defense and offense with a lot of potential to improve.

Dion Waiters is still somewhat justifiable pick...right?

Hawks & Nets(yes) results today were shocking.

I think he's ok. On the other hand, when Cleveland picked Waiters, Lillard was still available...
But I agree, where they really messed up (at least until now) is when they picked one of the biggest busts at No. 1 last year.

Waiters was never justifiable. He was considered a mid-1st round pick before draft which was all he has proven to be worth. Cavs had to take best player available who could score & fill a position of need, meaning Harrison Barnes. It was a gimme pick that they blew.

Number one pick should've obviously been Oladipo but because they reached on Waiters they didn't want to admit it by drafting in same position. Stupid. If that's their attitude then just draft Noel & wait a year. Idiots!

Yeah, I was positive they would take Barnes or Drummond. Lillard wouldn't have made sense with Kyrie there already, but Waiters was barely a projected lottery pick. Waiters, Thompson, and Bennett were all major reaches. Only the Thompson gamble paid off, but I still think they drafted the wrong Thompson in 2011.

Oh, and Bennett is inexplicably awful. I always thought he'd bust, but never this bad! He makes Austin Rivers look like Steph Curry.

Bennett has a good chance to become the worst #1 pick historically without no injury effect. LoL

But he was projected top 5 anyhoo in a very very weak draft class. It's just a gamble gone wrong.

League isn't going to learn their lesson about drafting Canadians this year probably.

Really happy for Amar'e. Might have lost his athleticism, but still can contribute inside.

Felton's coming to a life.

Bargnani looks like a legit big, but then this was against the Heat who has none.

Also JR Smith = DNP, LoL, what gives...

End of 3rd quarter and the Clippers scored 101 points against the Lakers. They are up by 41 points. :shock:

Agreed Thompson pick was wrong even though he has been solid. Given they already had Kyrie I thought they once again should've taken best available player which was Valacanius (sp?). They didn't have to rush as they weren't going to be good anyway & only wait a year or so for Jonas to come over
