    People forget the Twolves actually had 2 picks that year (I think back to back?), they passed on Curry twice lol. They took Rubio which was a pretty good pick but then they also took this other guard named Johnny Flynn who hasn't even been in the league for a few years or so now. They could have got Curry and Rubio.

    David Kahn was truly one of a kind. Hasheem Thabeet is almost as bad. Imagine how different the Grizz look today with Conley-Harden-Randolph-Gasol.

    Anybody watching this Wiz/Pels game on NBATV? New Orleans has a terrible roster. Dunno why AD resigned for 5 years, I would've signed for the minimum years and taken my chances in FA at like 25 instead of 28-29.

    Jrue Holliday is untouchable and you bring him off the bench? What an embarassing organization.

    The more and more I watch Ben Simmons play, the more overrated I think he is.

    D Rose been on fireeeeeeee all month. It was dark times early in the season, but I can't say I'm surprised that he dug himself out of it. Mudiay said he was a top 5 PG in the league, hard to disagree at this point.

    Lillard, maybe IT? It's tough out here for PGs, all these guys are playing at a top 5 level.

    It just feels good that he's finally back in the conversation. I been saying this all year but the facial fracture cost him an all star nod.

    sportsposters Miami Heat All-Star forward Chris Bosh is under increasing pressure from physicians and the organization to sit out the rest of the season because of the potential dangers of a recurring medical condition, league sources told The Vertical. Bosh has a meeting planned with Heat officials, including team owner Mickey Arison and president Pat Riley, in the next 24 hours to move closer to a final determination on his status, league sources said.

    I don't think I've ever seen two games in a row for the Heat get reffed so poorly... The Pacers game had 9 bad calls in the final minutes (8 benefited the Pacers) and we still won. I'm waiting to hear the official report on last night's Warriors game tho. The Warriors (mostly Green and Bogut) got away with countless moving screens at the end of the game and it's so apparent in this video lol... There were quite a few of them before this one too.

    Still an amazing game to watch and I'm not too upset about the loss considering it's to one of the greatest teams ever. I'm glad we showed we can compete with anyone, even without Bosh. Time to keep up the great play against Boston on Saturday.

    @redsoxx you see Begley's report that the "big star" Ainge was talking at about at the deadline was Melo? Supposedly he wasn't interested in waiving his no trade clause. No other details like who was involved or who started the conversations, but interesting nonetheless.

    Edit: Why did PJ give Melo a no trade clause? :what22:

    Derek Rose should just retire to prevent further embarrassment.

    They were interested in a bunch of guys. Love, Horford, Okafor, Boogie etc. Melo was probably plan E. I want no part of that guy and doubt the C's really did either.

    I prefer to just see where the Nets pick lands. Nets are pretty much a lock to be the 4th worst team, which is where the Lakers were last year when they jumped to 2nd. I have it in my head that the C's are due for some luck(haven't moved up in the lotto since Len Bias in 86). Would be more then happy with Ingram(he just needs to put on about 20 LBS and he'll be a beast).
