***Random NBA-related thoughts***

Dang, is that a smaller football or do Shaq's hands really make it look that small? And meh, I've done that in my driveway before.

Sweet shot. I do that pretty often in the back yard (not full court of course) funny to actually see the guys playing football inside the gym.

Wonder what the coaches reactions would be if someone tore an ACL goofin around.

Celtics @ Spurs... started to watch it, but it is almost unbearable to watch a cetlics game for me. I absolutely cannot stand the celtics. Only the nuggets have a roster filled with as many POS's.

^ That game was boring to watch.

Has anyone else noticed that quite a few players arounnd the league are wearing Kobe's shoes? J.R Smith is one of them. That actually surprises me. He even wore them when they played LA. Also noticed that Frye wears them too.

Come on Blair, you can't be scoring for the leprechauns now.

^ It looked like he was TRYING to score for them!

What's with Atlanta and its half-filled attendance this year? Their team isn't bad or boring.

I haven't seen their average attendance record, but the couple games I've been to this season most of the fans are trying to LA it and show up late. Didn't really fill up until end of the first. And as far as tonight goes...they are playing the Knicks. Only about 3 people care about that game and two of them are players.

My god. Hubie Brown and his percentages are driving me CRAZY.

I just realized that Don Nelson started Monta Ellis at SMALL FORWARD the other day.

Wow. And still Anthony Randolph has to come off the pine. He gets no love from that coaching staff.

Unless the guy can improve his shooting, I don't think he'll get the starting nod anytime soon.

Exactly how old is Steve Nash... dude looks old.

He's still the 2nd best player on the team though. Easily could be averaging 18/10 in starting minutes. I hope he gets traded to a team that'll play him.

How old are you? Let's see your picture.

I cant stand Chauncey Billups

Iggy's full court heave

Lol @ the announcers, ala LeBron, when has LeBron done that? Crazy shot though, I'm surprised I never saw it no LEBRONSPN, oh wait no I'm not.

^I called it when it happened. Instead they are still talking about Lebron dancing.

ariza had some sick highlights against the cavs

i'm happy he's doing well but man i miss the dude playing for us

I am happy for Ariza too. The guy would not get the kind of opportunity to beef up his stats if he were with the Lakers. He would be luky to be the 4th option on the Lakers and more likely just the 5th option. But he is the second option on that team next to Brooks.

Dwight Howard has very little to absolutely no post game.

^^

So true. It's mind boggling as to why he does not have a better post game.

This is the main reason why it frustrates me when people automatically name him the best center in the NBA today. The best center in the NBA should be able to operate with his back to the basket.

Also, I'm not a Shaq fan by any means, but it frustrates me when Dwight is compared to Shaq. Shaq may have been bigger and stronger than everyone else, but he had an array of back to the basket moves to go along with his great passing and rebounding game.

It frustrates me too because I really like him as a player and I would love to see him destroy Shaq, Perkins and Garnett out east but he can't because he has a very deficient post game.

I really don't know the main problem with them -- is it about Ewing or his teammates looking for their shot first?
