Baron Davis and Elton Brand jokes at the end are gold.
it was a joke. 156 to 150 or whatever it was in 2 x 20 min halves.

we dont touch that trade without the pick. RJ has an extra year on his contract than SJ
all in all though, another great trade for us. Stephen Jackson is a cancer of the anal variety
fuck, what a frustrating game to watch today. thunder down by 27 points against the spurs at one point. westbrook sparked a run, royal ivey played some solid D on parker, got a nice little run going into the 4th then durant stepped up and got as many points in the 4th as he had for the other 3/4s... managed to get it to within 4 but just couldnt get over the line... massive effort to get it back, but they shouldnt have let themselves get into such a deep hole to begin with.
Warriors fans... all class!
Seriously though once Bogut starts dominating for them they'll forget all about it lol.
Pretty disrespectful though, the ceremony was about Chris Mullin not the owner.
Going from the YouTube comments, I thought they were booing because some new guy was presenting an award to one of the teams legends?
Not surpised Gasol hot his ass out of the way here...
)Derek Fisher is officially a member of the Thunder for the rest of the season, the team announced. To make room for him, forward Ryan Reid has been waived.
Fisher is available to play tonight against the Clippers.
Sam Presti confirmed Fisher’s deal is for the remainder of the 2011-12 season and cited both his on court and off court ability as to the reason he was a fit.
“It’s not often an opportunity like this comes about at this point of the season,” Presti said. “We really like the group that we have and have a lot of confidence in it, but when this really started to materialize it was something we had to pursue.”
Said Fisher as to why he liked the Thunder: “After getting permission from the Rockets to speak with teams about the possibility of moving on, once we were able to complete the buyout, there were specific things I was looking for that would be the right fit for who I am. And the right community, the right organization, the right players, the right coaches and everything that I had observed about this team fit right into what I felt like what I wanted to be attached to, what I wanted to be a part of.”
Fisher on what he feels he can add: “Every team that I’ve been on I’ve always felt like from a leadership standpoint my role is to help everyone. Obviously playing the point guard position, those are the guys I connect with the most. So whether it’s Russell or Royal or Reggie, I’m here to help and assist. I’m not here to tell anyone how to play. These guys are already pretty good without me. But I’m just here to offer nuggets of wisdom, advice, my experience, things I’ve been through. But also when Coach Brooks decides there’s the right time to get on the floor and play minutes, I have to be effective and play good minutes. I plan to help in every way I can.”
Fisher said he will wear No. 37. As to why. “Because that’s how old I am, I guess.
This is a good read. A nice, rational take on the trade from a Warriors fan. Much more gracious than what was seen at that game. Heart-warming even.

(What an incredible tale of woe in that second one! Quaz you better not read it; you might start having suicidal thoughts.
anyway, if I'm picking anybody who comes close to having the impact on a team that Jordan did, it's Lebron James.
The Bulls may not have had a dominant centre like Dwight Howard, but the Lakers don't have anybody like Dennis Rodman or Scottie Pippen either. World Peace might try and act crazy like Rodman, but he's not even close to being half the player that Rodman was.
If they had Phil at the healm, I would be extremely confident.
Mike Brown on the other hand...hmmmm. But then you have Nash who will balance that out a lot.
Either way, it's going to be great viewing - the Lakers either storm the league, or implode like a dying star.
Nash yes, but if Kobe has a brilliant basketball IQ, he doesn't use it very often. How many times have you seen him take a stupidly hard shot instead of passing it to a wide open team mate?

Minnesota Timberwolves star Kevin Love will miss the next six to eight weeks after breaking his right hand in a workout on Wednesday.
The team made the announcement after practice, saying Love broke the third and fourth metacarpals on his shooting hand during a morning workout. It's a crushing blow to the Timberwolves, who already will be without star point guard Ricky Rubio for at least the first six weeks while he recovers from a torn ACL in his left knee.
Love is a two-time All-Star who led the team in scoring and rebounding last season. He also played a key role in Team USA's march to the gold medal in the London Olympics.
The injury likely means more playing time for Derrick Williams.
Except Kobe
NBA.com have a story up this morning about the Lakers chasing Lebron in free agency 2014 because the only current contract that will be on the books that year is Nash's and possibly Howard's if he re signs..
Jeez they love to talk shit, Obviously they get bored in that office.
Edit: Snap Khem! I would hate nothing more than to see him in purple and gold.. Nash was bad enough.
