Ugh. State Farm is really running that gimmick into the ground, aren't they?

That Heat team would be kinda scary if DWade's legs weren't held together by string.

You take the good one, you gotta take the bad one, apparently. The Dragons fly together.

They're saying TRob will be bought out by Denver. You'd think there are some character issues there but that really never appeared to be the case.

He put together a few nice games for us but couldn't ever stay in the rotation. He has some skills but I think he may be a bit of a dummy. Pretty surprised Denver wouldn't want to give him 20 minutes a night for a couple weeks at least.

Why would Shaw give him a chance, when he can keep trotting out the same mediocre veterans that have lost 13 of the last 15 games?


The Nuggets are a disaster, and did nothing over the trade deadline to progress toward not being a disaster. Sure, they got a late 1st round 2016 pick from Portland, but then they gave away a 1st rounder just to dump JaVale McGee, rather than just let his contract play out for a year and a half.

The good news for the Nuggets is that they haven't fired Shaw yet, so there's still a chance that they could play poorly enough to get into the lottery.


Edit: More to your point, MrSaigon, word out of the Denver camp is that T-Rob requested the buyout. The Nuggets have boatloads of front court bodies, so Robinson is more likely to get playing time on a different team. Basically did him a favor.

I like him and he has some tools. I hope he gets a chance and figures it out.

I think it's funny that someone who looks like Stan Van Gundy is a head coach in the NBA.

Ugly game tonight BTW.

I really think the shooting/not shooting rules need a good look.

Getting smacked by the Jazz is an aberration but I'll tell you this: Rudy Gobert isn't just the best nickname in bball. He is a legit defender. Twice this year he's limited LA as well as anyone ever.
