Around the League: Week 14 1/23-1/29

[TOO]

George and Millsap are eastern all stars but Embiid isnt? Laaaaaaame.

[Ring_Wanted]

All star reserves announced

West: Westbrook, Thompson, Hayward, Green, Cousins, Gasol, Jordan

East: Lowry, Wall, George, Millsap, Love, IT4, Kemba

East looks mostly fine. I would have added Embiid and taken out either Love or Kemba.

West has some questionable picks. I think Gobert should be in over Jordan. Paul, Lillard, McCollum, Conley would have been better picks than Thompson.

Agreed on Gobert and Thompson. Paul should have been selected, then replaced by Lillard. You can spare me Draymond too. Put Jordan instead.

[carey]

CPMe. All-Star snub. I'm for it!

[Mori Chu]

He's not a playmaker.

Shhhhhhhhhh, don't tell them!

Was that the dumbest trade in history? Ainge is a grand wizard with mind control powers.

New and impatient owner, stupid GM (check his 76rs track record). Perfect moment to let your legends go. Ainge should be jailed for that rape, although I have to tell you, the way IT4 has exploded our trade might as well be even more of a heist. At least our franchise has not suffered so much directly from the trade as BRY is (although we have our fair amount of methods to punish ourselves, that's for sure).

Richmond for Webber is up there too, and prime Ray Allen for three months of an aging Gary Payton and Desmond Mason.

Divac for the pick that became Kobe. More recently, Gerald Wallace for the pick that became Dame Lillard (haha poor BRY).

I know that it's in vogue to trash McDonough (not saying that you are, just reacting to the general sentiment), but I beg to differ on the IT4 trade. Yeah we could've kept him, but if we boil it down, we got IT for nothing, and we turned nothing into a late first rounder. It can be argued that IT helped contribute to the chemistry problems that season, but I'm gonna guess that even without him the Morrii could've messed that up all by themselves anyway.

In terms of IT's on-court performance, the stats are nice, but I'm not convinced that IT is going to lead any team to the championship as the primary ball handler. Also, Boston has the personnel that can mask his weaknesses and lack talented scorers and need IT's heroics to succeed, so it's a bit of a perfect storm for him over there. Had he stayed with the Suns, he would've probably still been able to put up 20/6 if we gave him enough usage, but he would not be leading the Suns to a 48-34 record here.

[UglyTruth]

If the Celtics strike out with all this early picks (which I doubt) then yeah the IT trade will still be worse than that one.

Nothing worse than the Harden trade though. Still can't believe they passed on keeping 3 HOFers together due to luxury tax purposes.

Enes Kanter, what an idiot. He was upset last night and punched a chair and fractured his forearm. He'll probably be out six to eight weeks.

Damn, what did the chair do to him to deserve that?

Played better defense.

Haha!

[Mori Chu]

LOL, what a knucklehead. Not that OKC was going to make much noise this year, but that loss does hurt them down the stretch of the season.

[AmareIsGod]

It was definite bad luck. I saw a few replays of it. He went to hit the solid "butt" portion of the chair that was flat. As he went to hit it, it shifted and the chair came up at a weird angle and hit his forearm just right.

[Superbone]

Bad luck that he swung at a chair? I wouldn't call it that.

It happens pretty regularly. Guys just usually don't break their forearm. I'd call it bad luck. Stupid? Absolutely.

[Flagrant Fowl]

About as stupid as when Amare punched the glass fire extinguisher box.

I'd say that's worse since most humans know that it's bad to put your fist through glass.

I once put my fist through a window when I was about that age, but suffered no serious injury.

I once ran through a glass door that I didn't see. Wouldn't recommend
