I don't know what to think of that article. Woj normally takes his swipes at the Cavs organization but today he went after LeBron..

That game only on local? It says FSFL, which I assume is fox sports florida.

I'm watching on League pass. I'm listening to the Houston guys. It usually is a bit behind when I watch on Apple TV, so I'm afraid to look at any other website. We could have already lost. Currently down by 5 with 47.3 left...

Euro scouting really seems to be a toss-up, with some glaring weaknesses


Just for the record, Gasol played high school ball in Memphis. The wording of your response (which is true to the fact the NBA doesn't scout there enough,imo) makes it sound like Gasol is lumped in to the Euro players group.

Guy had access to the Grizzlies in his formative years, and played with Jerry West's kid. That was his development.

I did know this, but he went straight over to Europe after high school. But you're right. Probably not the best example.

Yeah that's what you get when you have a lot of young talent that have no clue what they are doing though.

Hawks are now the sexiest team in the NBA and we got dat target

My bad I'm focused on Hawks not up by 20. You meant them Magic out there taking it to the Rockets.. I'm stupid.

Not scared of this Chicago team in the playoffs. Wiz would knock them out again.

The Raptors and Hawks on the other hand..

Woj article on this.

i'm not sure what's funnier--Tristan Thompson getting $13M a year offer or him turning it down.

I was super against signing him on a max deal this offseason, but I liked the idea of giving him a shot with very low risk (and money) now. He works really hard for this team on the boards and trying to make good passes. I think he needs some more time to really gel, and I think he is willing to work hard to prove people wrong. BUT he still takes too many threes and long twos. The only time he should ever take them is if there is no time on the shot clock. That's it. I'm still optimistic, but he needs to improve.

Frankly, the Rockets were pretty damn good before he came, and things have been somewhat rocky since his arrival.

Yeah it's a struggle with him on your team because he has a lot of the makings to be a star. The problem with that is he isn't a star and he tries to be.

I don't know how many Hawks' games you have watched, but Josh Smith would be one of the most valuable players in the league if he had the mindset and played like Demarre Carroll. The dude would be awesome since he is so good on the defensive end.
