This owns. Knicks for sure without Stoudemire, Bargnani, Shumpert and JR Smith tonight vs. Bulls. Melo is questionable with knee soreness.

Rick posted:Reading some of the rumors on the Rondo thing, it's funny that the same Boston reporter who swore that Gasol for Rondo was imminent a few years ago now thinks Rondo is going to go there in free agency. Why does he want Rondo to be a Laker so badly? So he can seethe in his hatred for him I guess

I don't feel like Rondo is going to hugely help the Mavs because he's not good at spot up shooting and neither is Ellis.

Darko's kickboxing debut is today! Wikipedia says he's about 70 pounds heavier and 7 inches taller than the other guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OkMpyOxL-M I don't even like non-fake fightsports but I'm strangely excited for this.

EvanTH posted:For the most part, videogames are tools of social control created by corporate committee which allow unaccomplished losers the sense of achieved goals so they don't get any ideas about having an impact upon the actual world which doesn't sound like Art to me. Also there's no listing for videogames in Janson's History Of Art which is the accepted standard.  Bargnani seems like a person who passively acts retarded so he doesn't have to do everything the coaches tell him. MVP fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Dec 18, 2014 |

the_american_dream posted:Yes that notoriously non-adaptable maverick offense. The Dallas offense is reliant on having shooters to space the floor. Carlisle has never had a guard anywhere near as bad at shooting as Rondo. Except poor Roddy Buckets of course, but that's a different story.

The Mavs have a 5-man unit with a .548 eFG that has Al-Farouq Aminu as the corner 3 threat.

Rondo's midrange game is consistently underrated. He's got a few spots where he's pretty good from, at least enough that defenders can't leave him alone.

It's his three point shot and free throws that gives him his bad shooting rep. That and he has trouble finishing at the rim sometimes, but it's mostly because he can't shoot the 3 or make more than 65% of his free throws.

@ramonashelburne Have heard Kings want give Ty Corbin a chance this season. But also some interesting names like Mully & Kenny Smith floating around. I should be really pissed about this, but I am of Chaotic Neutral alignment so let's follow this all the way down the rabbit hole of crazy. This could work. Shaq already is a minority owner. Kenny can coach. Barkley can then become our color commentator and EJ can by the sideline MC

I looked through the NBA rules and found no restrictions against Murder (nor Killing, nor Manslaughter, although Treachery Most Foul blipped up some false positives) so I'm not sure that enticing the opposing team to end your existence would be as helpful as it seems on paper

Igor Strelkov posted:
Rondo is a very good scorer, but the fact that he is not a threat from 3 (he shoots like 28% despite his defenders sagging WAYY off) is a problem since in today's NBA you usually want 3 shooters from the perimeter (or at least 2 with a big who can stretch), and your PG is almost always one of those three. You get him in the right place and Rondo is deadly. You put him in the wrong place your spacing is hosed.

Parsons/Dirk/Monta can all space the floor pretty well.

Right now the dream (that won't happen) is for the Rondo trade to go through, Mavs cut Ricky Ledo, sign Ray Allen, sign Jermaine O'Neal, and everyone stays healthy.

How did Jameer Nelson record 26 minutes played last night in Dallas game vs. Detroit and not pick up a single point or assist in the entire time. Was he just watching the offense play? Literally the only thing he did was 3 boards and 1 TO. It was probably the most invisible scoreline I've ever seen in a box score.
