Old man Vince aint the same no more

I'm ashamed you even mentioned this match up

I do realise that, actually, I realised it years ago.

That is why I want him to, instead of expect

Thank god Noa is back.

Kobe wid dat slam

Clippers fight off a late surge by the Lakers to win 107-102.

Clips are for real man

can someone post a clip of like one of the best few minutes of basketball play ever? Because whenever i've watched it its just been quite dull and repetitive

Gasol really needs to step up if the Lakers want to gain some victories.

Do you mean linear play, like 5 minutes straight minutes from one game, or just a mix of great plays?

Few minutes? I don't know. The best times come during crunch time and coaches repeatedly take timeouts to strategize and call plays, the lats 5 minutes of a basketball game that's close take about 15 minutes.

Kevin Love re-fractured his hand last night by the by.

What Dena said, very rare to see great play for an extended period, only really great plays.

Some decent games on tonight.

Man Lou Williams is hot, Alanta made a great move signing him.

Dena, random question. Who, if they retired today would you put in the HoF?

Lot's of easy ones here.

Duncan
Bron
Kobe
KG
Manu
Ray Allen
Melo
Kidd
Nash
Dirk
Pierce
Wade
Durant

I think these guys are for sure, lots more on the bubble.

What about players who are not eligible yet or are eligible just not selected?

None of these guys are "eligible" per se, you have to be retired for 5 years to get voted in. These are guys who have resumes (Duncan, Kobe, Bron) that makes them a lock for the HoF, and players who I think will become locks as their career goes on (Melo, Durant)

It was a separate question. I meant like Shaq, Iverson, Payton, Webber, Zo, Dikembe, Bowen,

Ohhhh

Shaq, Iverson, Payton. Locks.

Webber, Zo, Dikembe... I don't know, hard to say, definitely not first ballot.

Bowen, no.

EDIT: Reggie Miller is a lock

The Basketball HoF is widely considered the "easiest" HoF to get into in American sports, but still there are players like Bernard King (think 70s Melo, whose career was affected by a knee injury) who arent in.

I know Bernard King

I do agree with that, a lot of players have had good careers but made it without a lot of credentials (Chris Mullin comes to mind).

My bad b, I forget you're knowledgable sometimes.

When I'm watching this, Anthony really doesn't look like he's meant to be good, I mean in his face, he looks too nice, I don't know what it is.

Rondo wid dat Triple-Double.



3rd All-Star ballot out;

East: Rondo, Wade, Melo, LeBron, KG
West: Paul, Kobe, Durant, Griffin, Howard.

Sould be Duncan.

Actually, David Lee. Lin is close in votes, the system if so flawed.

He really is amazing.

40 points, six rebounds, and six assists

Fuck is that?

I actually want to him to go further than the first round this year.

Big shot Dirk

Kobe now on twitter.

Interesting.

The first person he started following was a white woman.

Mamba style.

NBA is coming to Sky for the Brits who don't have League Pass.
