Man I must have jinxed the Rockets every since I mentioned they have been raggedy.

And it's not even Smith they have out of sync for the last 10 games and last night they looked like they have never played together.

We really need a playmaking pg because if Harden does not initiate we start chucking.

Man we looked bad.

They're just playing a stretch of tough competition. But I would be worried about Dwight Howard's continued disappearing acts.

There should never be a night where he takes fewer than 15 shots.

[MENTION=63]Jiggyfly[/MENTION] it looks like McHale is trying to shake things up a bit. Josh Smith removed from the starting lineup for tonight's game against the Heat.

Atlanta is starting to make me a believer.

Went into Portland and beat the Trailblazers.

Jeff Teague has quietly turned himself into one of the league's better PGs.

Yea, I can't believe they're still playing this well. Long season though and I still doubt they have enough to make the Finals, probably not even the ECF.

Peeking in on the Mavs-Cavs game during the NFL playoff game, and the Cavs continue to look like garbage. I said give them until February before judging them but I'm starting to have doubts myself.

As an aside, I just saw that Derozan is returning on Thursday night. That's huge news for the likely #1 seed in the East.

Yeah he completely changed the rotation last night, Smith is still looking shellshocked getting cut from Detroit must have fucked with hhis head.

Dwight was beast he is a hard player to figure out, but the flow was much better last night.

Derozan doesn't play for Chicago.

A couple of good late games tonight.

OKC vs. Golden State and Atlanta vs. LAC.

Would love to see OKC steal this one. I feel like Golden State got off the hook a few weeks ago when KD sprained his ankle and derailed what was shaping up to be a career game for him.

Houston v. Chicago early that should be a good game.

Waiters is being dealt to OKC...Shumpert/JR Smith to Clev...not sure what Knicks are getting.

 

[Carp]

Knicks get Reggie Jackson...Dalembert involved too.

Oh....wow! Didn't realize we traded Reggie Jackson. I saw that Waiters had been traded but didn't click the link yet.

Adrian Woja. of Yahoo Sports is saying RJ possibly part of deal.

Chris Broussard says he's hearing RJ may not be part of the deal.

So nothing is confirmed yet.

It would be a strange move for the Thunder. Trading Waiters for RJ would be a step back for them.

RJ is a restricted FA this year and has openly talked of moving on so that he can be the lead dog of his own team.

 

[1bigfan13]

Doesn't look like RJ will be part of the deal. He's on Oakland warming up getting ready to play against the Warriors.

He'd have been pulled from the lineup if he were part of the trade.

 

[Carp]

Yeah...not dealt, kind of like the deal for all teams.

This Nets-Mavs game is shaping up to be a good one. Nets making a late run to tie it up at 80 with under 1:42 to play.

Joe Johnson canned a long 3 from straight away to tie it up.

Our defense has pissed me off tonight.

How? They only gave up 82 points in regulation. Heading into overtime now.

I meant offense, but they have turned it on.

Dirk just passed another NBA legend on the all time scoring list.

He's now 7th all time in scoring....passed Moses Malone with a dagger 3 pointer in OT.
