Transactions:


<=====>
T.J. Ford and Tayshaun Prince are on the move yet again! The Pacers have traded Ford to the Rockets in exchange for Prince.

<=====>
The Clippers were able to acquire a disgruntled Andray Blatche from the Wizards for a 2010 2nd round draft pick. Steal? I think so.

Rumor Mill:


Williams surprised by trade rumors
- Orlando mum on Williams despite reports


Thompson: I'm happy here in Sacramento
- Thompson to Pistons? Unlikely

Other News:

- Bryant's 32 too much; Lakers send Bucks to 9th straight loss
- Lakers continue to top the Power Rankings
- CP3: I won't be 100% for another 2-4 weeks
- James leads the way as Cavaliers defeat Trailblazers 93-91
- Thunder win, extend Pacers losing streak to 10

LOL @ TJ Ford and Prince. Ridiculous.

That double-clutch layup by Flynn was legit too.

[Vinsane]

lol @ bring it around, and balance his check book...

[DoubleDeuce]

Just caught up. Jefferson's beasting

[SuperNova854]

Lol clippers stole Blatche

Showing off some hangtime.

lol @ bring it around, and balance his check book...

This T.J. Ford and Tayshaun Prince thing is gettin ridiculous. Get Big Al an extra -4 in rebouds mike..20/10 ftw

I'm trying man. lol.

Kevin Love is a beast on the boards as well. Not to mention, Brewer gets up for some every now and then as well.

He isn't posting the 23/11 he did from a year ago, but it's safe to say he has a lot more help this time around. Not to mention, coming off torn acl surgery. :bigeyes:

Just caught up. Jefferson's beasting

On his way to his 1st all-star team selection.

Lol clippers stole Blatche

Tell me about it. 23 years old with great potential, all for a 2nd round pick. :doh:

Blatche is the man in Washington right now irl. Just go to edit player and change his role to a starter.
Oberto < Shit < Blatche

Too late for that.

Wolves Scrape Out Another Nailbiter In Denver, Remain Undefeated Against Nuggets

Starting Lineups:
Jonny Flynn PG Chauncey Billups
Wayne Ellington SG J.R. Smith
Corey Brewer SF Carmelo Anthony
Kevin Love PF Kenyon Martin
Al Jefferson C Nene

(18-20) 107 @ 105 (20-17)


Even Corey Brewer's best efforts couldn't stop Carmelo Anthony from dropping a game high 38.



Player Of The Game:

Al Jefferson

Quote Of The Game:
"Having defeated them twice already this season, we came into this one with a lot of confidence. We didn't shoot the ball as well as we probably would have hoped but our efforts underneath paid off. Kevin and I both hit double digits on the boards tonight and it proved to the difference. When you can rebound like we did tonight, give your team the second chance opportunities like we did tonight; you can afford to miss a couple shots." - Al Jefferson

Next Game:

Jefferson played well. Wilkins had a good game off the bench. Nice win over a tough Nuggets team

Wolves Trash Rockets In Houston; Get Back To .500 For First Time In Months

Starting Lineups:
Jonny Flynn PG T.J. Ford
Wayne Ellington SG Aaron Brooks
Corey Brewer SF Shane Battier
Kevin Love PF Jermaine O' Neal
Al Jefferson C Yao Ming

(19-20) 96 @ 76 (15-23)


Wayne Ellington's near perfect performance from the field was a significant part of the Wolves offense tonight.



Player Of The Game:

Wayne Ellington

Quote Of The Game:
"The last time we sat at .500 was way back in November when we were 4-4. It was almost a weird feeling being able to let the starting guys rest in the 4th. The Rockets are going through somewhat of a transition right now and it's hard to tell whether they are coming or going, trying to win or trying to rebuild. Either way, a 20 point win over any team in this league is something to be proud of." - Wolves Head Coach Kurt Rambis

Damn you, your lucky Yao didn't drop 25 along with 8 boards 7 assists and 5 blocks and Battier didn't have practically all 25 of his points off of 3's and free throws.

[SuperNova854]

Nice game from Brewer and Ellington

[SuperNova854]

Damn you, your lucky Yao didn't drop 25 along with 8 boards 7 assists and 3 blocks and Battier didn't have practically all 25 of his points off of 3's and free throws.

I think im the only chise who has Yao Ming out.

[mike3]

Nice shooting from Ellington, a big improvement from 1-8 from 3 last game

I don't know what it is. I'm 3-0 against them this year. The last two meetings I have won by 3 or less points. :laugh:

Damn you, your lucky Yao didn't drop 25 along with 8 boards 7 assists and 5 blocks and Battier didn't have practically all 25 of his points off of 3's and free throws.

When a defensive specialist like Battier is considered a scoring option and is chucking up bad shots, your team is in trouble.

Houston's trade-happy ass approach this year has fucked them up hard. lol.

I think im the only chise who has Yao Ming out.

Not like it would make a difference. Rockets still blowing ass even with him playing.

Nice shooting from Ellington, a big improvement from 1-8 from 3 last game

No doubt. He was a significant part of my offense that game. Helped me get out in front by as much as 20+ thanks to his long range barrage.
