Yea Gay is much more of a volume scorer. Jeff Green isn't really great at anything. I think Green and Marcus Morris are more comparable.

So do I. In a past post I said that if the Grizzles managed to acquire him, they could become a monster. I really want to see how he does there.

Bwahahah 76rs win against Brooklyn and are officially the third worst team in the league, leaping NYC and the Wolves. Btw Orlando barely beat the 76rs with a shot in the last second.

I like Pondexter for them. They need some shooting.

And they're going to get it from a guy shooting 35% from the field & 23% from 3? I'm really confused by what Demps is doing w/ the roster over there right now.

His career numbers are considerably better than that.

I've liked Rivers defense the last few times I've seen him play. Not a bad pick up for a second round pick.

Hmmmm...... I wonder why the Clippers would be interested in Austin Rivers?

Another example of Doc the GM interfering with Doc the Coach.

Clips are desperate for a 3 who can defend and shoot and are battling chemistry issues, so bringing in a 2 who can't defend, shoots 35% and is the coach's son seems like a sound move.

It sure would be nice to knock the Clips out of the playoffs. We've really solidified our front line moving Alex to starter and picking up Wright. Now if only we wouldn't die by the 3 so often, or commit boatloads of turnovers, or fall asleep against bad teams...... or tech ourselves to death. Good grief.

I hate the clippers. I think I dislike them more then any team in the league. Actually its a good question for Suns fans this yr with the fact the easy answer, Lakers, are so bad.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

The flopping of Paul and Griffin is annoying. They run into people bounce off and flail about. Then put on this innocent act. It really sucks the enjoyment out of the game.
