Road to Glory II

[Martti.]

The fuck, Vujacic worth Morrow, Williams and your 1st round pick? Sit would agree, but I'm not sure.

[George7]

No!!!Not Vujabitch!! Not fond of the trade...
At least don't trade that pick...

[Fresh8]

Sit loves Sasha but this was a turrible trade. Glad to see him join you though

As for me and Martti, all I can tell him is embrace the hate. It's better! Bring him to Portland!

[Houndy]

Horrible trade for Vujabitch. A big, fat F

[kibaxx7]

Morrow, Williams, and a lottery protected pick for Vujacic?

[puttincomputers]

Bulls = B-
Nets/Hornets = A-

I am confused. Headline says the Nets but the article mentions the Hornets.

[Mandich]

Man that wa sa terrible trade for you . .

[Valor]

The fuck, Vujacic worth Morrow, Williams and your 1st round pick? Sit would agree, but I'm not sure.

Williams can't get no minutes on my team cause of all the big man and Morrow has no defense (which is really what I need since the opponent always drops heaps on me when the subs are on...) and I have the Nets' first round pick that year (top three protected)

No!!!Not Vujabitch!! Not fond of the trade...
At least don't trade that pick...

It's lottery protected, and I have a much higher one anyway

Everybody hates Sasha

Sit loves Sasha but this was a turrible trade. Glad to see him join you though

As for me and Martti, all I can tell him is embrace the hate. It's better! Bring him to Portland!

I really didn't need Williams as stated earlier, Morrow is awesome but only on offense and Vujacic is almost as good on that side anyway. He will be an improvement on D and definitely can play both guard positions well.

Martti and Sit, college rivals who hated each other wants to join up Definitely did not see that coming. I'll let the GMs take note of it, same goes with Thierry

Horrible trade for Vujabitch. A big, fat F

It's out of need There's no one else out there that fits the need of my team currently

Morrow, Williams, and a lottery protected pick for Vujacic?

I realize how it looks but hopefully it'll pay off for me

Bulls = B-
Nets/Hornets = A-

I am confused. Headline says the Nets but the article mentions the Hornets.

It's Hornets, a typo by me since the Nets in real life have Sasha

Man that wa sa terrible trade for you . .

Hopefully not, but we'll see after the ASW

[The X]

Sasha better be bloody good

[Valor]

Sasha better be bloody good

I know, I know
I'm gonna look like an idiot if he sucked

Rubio, Sophomores hold off Rookies for another W


Orlando, FL - Number 1 overall pick Harrison Barnes tried and tried, but even his game-high 19 points could not lift the rookies to an upset victory in the 2012 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge as the Sophomores take a 103-99 victory over the Rookie team.

It was the brillance of the point guard duo of the Sophomore team that made the difference in a very competitive game.

John Wall of the Minnesota Timberwolves had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists while the Memphis Grizzlies' very own Spaniard prodigy Ricky Rubio took home MVP honors following a 14 point, 13 assist performance.

Evan Turner of the Nets added 16 points for the Sophomores while Xavier Henry and Dontas Motiejunas rounded out the Sophomore players that hit double figures, with 14 and 12 points respectively.

The rookies sprang out to a 28-17 first quarter lead but would be supressed by the more experienced Sophomore team for the rest of the game.

Point Guards Liam Washburn of the Heat and Will Sit of the Portland Trailblazers both had a nice game, but it wasn't enough to overcome the duo of Wall and Rubio.

Washburn had 15 points and 4 assists while Sit finished with 12 and 6.

Center Octavius Ocho of the San Antonio Spurs was the last rookie player in double figures as he scored 10 points and grabbed 8 boards in the losing effort.

This makes it 2nd straight for the Sophomore team in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge, who are regaining their stature in this annual event after their streak was snapped at seven in 2010 by Tyreke Evans and the rest of the Class of 2010 rookies.

We lost cause of Liam. Hogging up all the touches.

We lost cause of Liam. Hogging up all the touches.

Looks to me like the Rookies lost due to poor shot selection by Sit and his inability to shut down Rubio. Washburn had a great game & didn't put a foot wrong.

No way. ^^ Check that out, I'm keeping him away from the ball.

Anyways, looks like me, Marrti and Thierry must form our own Big Three

Agree with X, Sit jacks up more bad shots than anyone in the league

Korver Lights up Orlando, Takes Home Three Point Crown


Orlando, FL -- In a city that houses a team who wins games from three point shooting, Kyle Korver showed that he is the best of them.

Kyle Korver of the Chicago Bulls narrowly made the finals with a first round score of 19, but knocked down every single money ball in the final round en route to his final score of 24 points as he edged out Nate Robinson of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Danilo Gallinari of the New York Knicks for the 2012 Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout title.

Gallinari notched a first round high of 22 points and had 16 in the finals while three time Dunk Contest champion Nate Robinson narrowly missed out on becoming the first ever player to win both the Dunk Contest and the Three Point shootout. Robinson posted 21 in the first round and 20 in the finals.

Kevin Martin of the Rockets and hometown player Rashard Lewis posted 18 each while Stephen Curry of the Warriors, who was the heavy favourite coming into the competition, had just 14. All three were eliminated after the initial round.

"I told my teammates I wouldn't let them down" said a smiling Korver "Those money ball saved my butt out there for sure"

Below are the scores posted by the participants in each round of this year's Footlocker three point shootout.

His jack up rate is in cycles. Earlier this season he was jacking more and more up. Maybe late nov/early dec.

That was rigged. I reckon you won with him on purpose. boooo! Steph should have won!

If I had a rookie in there it would be Washburn over you since he shoots it better, or even Martti

Korver got the trophy as expected , Nate did good as well

[Kubik]

Nice win from Korver! Nate can't dominate every contest. Slam dunk contest is surely enough for him
