Its even more impressive because it looks like he barely got to the line. I still don't think the Warriors will win the west, because of there front court but its becoming increasingly hard to not consider them the favorites.

Ugh, the Blazers medical staff should be taken out into the street and shot. They ended Brandon Roy's career by letting him play on busted wheels, and now they're letting LaMarcus run around and risk further injury for no good reason. It's such a bush league move to not care about the long-term health of your players like that. Portland has consistently screwed this up in recent years.

He is a free agent this summer. Sort of signals that he has no interest in leaving.

That is, since the cap is going up so much with the new TV deal pending, there are guys who are worth the current max. I think Klay is a max player by that definition. He's one of the best couple of 2-guards in the NBA, too, so I think you can make a case that he's a "max player" regardless of the cap being about to rise or TV deals.
i wouldnt have given him a max level or near max level contract based on last season's stats, but he's earning it this year. compare his percentages from last season and this season.

And I thought the Blazers cleaned house with their training staff a year or so ago

Looks like Jennings popped his Achilles.

Watching Blazers-Wizards now and Aldridge doesn't really look comfortable. He's almost playing defense with just his right arm. Not wearing a heavy brace, more light a thumb/wrist wrap.

Wow, look at this. Reddit NBA just uncovered a pattern where it looks like Chad Ford goes back and changes his NBA draft boards several years after the draft is over to make himself look better at his predictions. What a schmuck.

Yea he looked better as the game went on. Still wasn't doing too much with his left. Maybe he doesn't really need to?

Abysmal trade, but Cleveland is starting to figure it out.

I guess they don't have to fire David Blatt. :roll:

Huge win for New Orleans tonight over Dallas. New Orleans is now 23-21, one game back of the Suns in the loss column.

And I'm just now realizing Charlotte has won 8 of their last 10 and is now in sole possession of the 8th seed in the East.

Very interesting that Toronto has benched Terrence Ross and is now starting Greivis Vasquez.

I am not worried about New Orleans. Don't think they have enough shooting. Impressed by Charlotte's run though. Lance still not playing very well for them.
