I predict huge failure. Noway will those two guys get along. Cousins might be the most selfish player in the NBA and probably the most difficult to coach.

That's a relief

Washington or Toronto is going to push the Cavs in the East i think.

One of those will push them to at least 6 if not 7.

Frank Isola is tweeting a rumor floating around the league that the Knicks may just release DRose.

Also, Noah is done for the year.

Embiid might be done as well depending on those MRI results.

We play them on Thusday, so I figure between now and then, we'll have about 20 minutes of commentary on KDs updated situation and how they factor this in for the rest of the season.

Well as everyone so aptly liked to point out when Durant signed with the Warriors, they made the Finals without him already so they should probably be just fine.

Yeah and he was a bad call on my part. I really thought that he'd be a good addition but he certainly was a big negative. But I also have got to lay some of the blame on Freddie who certainly was in over his head as an NBA coach.

Joakim Noah tested positive for an over-the-counter supplement that is prohibited under the outgoing Collective Bargaining Agreement.

20 game suspension, dunno if it's going to be nulled by his surgery recovery, or if it counts after he returns. Even though the substance hasn't been announced, it's apparently seen as whatever he came up hot for is not considered performance enhancing.

Welp, if anyone finds out what it is from the rumormillz, post back. I'd sure like to know.

whats up with the NBA this year? is the league that watered down?

Booker is good but him scoring 70 points is ridiculous

i wonder if Derrick will retire if he doesn't get a contract he likes. he doesn't seem to have passion for the game anymore and these knee injuries are a yearly occurrence.
