Paul George has averaged 9 boards a game over the past 20 games. That's sick for a 2 guard

[Point Blank]

So does anyone use that NBA LP app on XBL? How is it?

[JimLeavy59]

With games like these it makes you wonder if the NBA is rigged.

So is this loss a moral victory?

Kobe has missed 54 shots his last 3 games, so much for being the GOAT.

The Wizards are 4-2 since John Wall returned.

You say this a lot, but how many people actually believe Kobe is the GOAT?

Cavs and Grizzlies are discussing a trade that would include Jon Leuer for Mareise Speights and Josh Selby. I don't know much about Speights, but Leuer hasn't even been able to crack the rotation and is getting beat out by the likes of Luke Walton and Omri Casspi. I would have to think Speights is better than that.

It's all trying to get cap relief, Grizzlies don't want to pay the tax.

Ken Berger: The trade saves the Grizzlies about $4M, pushing them under the tax line and eliminating financial need to move Rudy Gay this season. Twitter @KBergCBS

[Rudi]

Yeah thats what I was reading as well. None the less the Cavs need all the help they can get, so if they can deal a player who doesnt even play for someone that might see the court I'm a fan of the deal

[DoubleDeuce]

This trade puts the Grizzly two men under the 12 minimum limit. Expect a big trade soon, maybe even Randolph

EDIT: Actually they just signed some guys, nevermind

kyrie out here droppin 19 in the 1st quarter and shit. Good game going on b/t Cleveland and Boston.

[Rudi]

Kyrie Irving averages the most isolation points per game in the league this season, and is the only player making more than 50 percent of his shots on such plays (min. 25 FGAs). (Kyrie averages 8.1 on 50.3%. Melo is next with 7.6 on 40.9%, followed by Kobe with 7.2 on 41.9%, and finally LeBron with 5.9 on 48.9%.)

[JimLeavy59]

The NBA refs aren't evening trying to hide that they are trying to help the Lakers anymore.
