If I had to root for Jamal Crawford for 2 years, surely you could root for this.

 

No doubt, what he’s doing is incredible. But if he chose to sign here, the league would KNOW he’s on drugs then test him, and it would be game over because...Hawks.

I agree.  Because every one of us would scream like a 8 year old girl at her birthday party, if Lebron decided to leave the Cavs and join the Hawks.   This playoffs has actually made be become a fan of the guy.  As much as I hate Cleveland ( mainly because of what he does to us ), I'm rooting for them to beat Golden State.  

People should appreciate the greats of the game.  Not try to find reasons to hate them.

I don’t want him on my team. His actions and personality make him unlikable. It’s just a matter of time until he gets outed. 

Will they pursue Malik Rose? No way BC stays there, regardless of the findings.

At this point, I need proof he’s NOT on roids, HGH or some type of banned performance enhancer.  He’s been increasingly bigger, faster, stronger with never missing significant time for any injury and no sign of slowing/ wearing down despite max minutes.

The physique, head growth,  hairline, personality and behavior remind me of another athlete the world used to be in awe of: Barry Bonds. MLB is still recovering; the NBA will never test LBJ.  Oh, and sitting out the olympics for “rest” where you know there’s testing?! 

Hawks gonna Hawks...

Maybe we could switch Bazemore's contract to THJ and pay Bazemore $10-11 million.

Baze MIGHT be worth 10 million...if he got incentives for turnovers and blown layups.  I think his contract is limiting numerous options, including THJs. 

It's half court 3-on-3.  There's no make it-take it, no tip-offs, just take the ball out at half court.  Games are to 60, win by 2.  Halftime is when first team hits 30. 

There's a few 4-point shot circles several feet behind the 3.  Bibby knocked down at least two 4-pointers, looking smooth.

I too was impressed that some of these guys stay in shape and still have it.  Most of the games were intense and competitive, with tons of trash talking.  The refs seemed to let them play physical.

What I don't like is the games were played Sunday, and edited for replay.  Iverson's game was condensed into 4 minutes of "highlights", while the other three games aired in full.  They'll have to tweak this issue.  At least it's some basketball during a long NBA off season.

John Collins

I would love to hear Tim Donaghy's take on the game.  That was an absolute farce.

And Mark Jackson?!  He needs to be unemployed (by anything basketball related) for a loooong time.

I was on board before the Heat days, when he was buried on Toronto's bench and could have been picked up for nothing.  He's not a star by any means but he can handle,  hit the 3 and most importantly guard multiple positions on the perimeter.  He'll likely return to Miami with a bloated contract.

After reading this thread title, I was hoping to hear he's expanding his range to 15 feet.  Uncontested.

Schlenk or bust!

I just hope Bird doesn't pull a  McHale (sending KG) deal and send PG13 to his buddy Ainge in Boston.  

Is someone now getting waived to $ign this "3rd PG"?

So, who are the PG buyout candidates we're looking at?

Watching Gary Neal hoist up bricks last night made seriously question Buds end game. Neal looks out of shape and has no lift on his jumpshot. He's freaking old Bud! I rather us bring back Lamar instead. He's doing well in the D-League this year. Only Bud smh.

I agree with Lamar over Neal. In fact, I prefer Lamar over Baze.

Baze good to see you...see you again in a couple months?

I don't see the point of those Last 2 Minute reports when the officials blow all game long. 

He's no athlete but he keeps it simple and makes the smart play.

It's still somewhat possible that Bud sort of knows what he's doing with the team.   

I never understood the love for Baze last season. He was nothing more than an energy guy with very limited talent and sporadic play.

I just wish Bud didn't feel obligated to play him now solely based on his bloated  contract, while younger and  better talent sits court side. His play has not warranted starting or major minutes.  

JV offense including Sap's countless pumpfakes on Casper.  Hamster wheel defense. Somebody stop the bleeding!

Lol at people thinking Korver was worth more than a bag of chips lmao

If you don't see Korver's value, you are the laughingstock.

Horrible officiating on both ends. Tanks for the gift, Denver.

Stunned Westbrook wasn't bailed out to end the game. Sap was clutch and on a mission, but where has this been?!
