Sarcasm is “a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt.”[1] Though irony and understatement is usually the immediate context,[2] most authorities distinguish sarcasm from irony;[3] however, others argue that sarcasm may or often does involve irony[4] or employs ambivalence.[5]

Is Mike Conley above average now? He has been noticeably non-shitty in the few times I've seen him this season.

Still glad the Hawks dodged the bullet of taking him #3 overall, but good for Memphis that he might come remotely close to living up to the extension some day.

IIRC, he played pretty well last season. This season has been a struggle for him shooting the ball. I saw some stats on NBA TV last night that he's shooting something like 38% and just over 30% from 3. He'll never live up to that contract, but he's definitely a serviceable PG considering all the weapons Memphis has.

Everyone figured his jumper would hold him back in the NBA, and sure enough it has. I think serviceable is a nice word. I see him developing a nice drive and kick game, needs to do much more of that.

In fairness to Conley...If I went to high school and college with Greg Oden, I wouldn't bother developing a jump shot either.

TY BASED KYRIE.

His finishing reminds me of Derrick Rose as a rookie. Himself alone has made Cavs game a lot more enjoyable this year. He's averaging over 22 a game in his last 5.

ROOKIE OF DA YEAR SWAG

Ivan Johnson is the Egg McMuffin of 27-year-old rookies.

How has no one created a webpage that says what shoe each NBA player wears??

Come on.


PS. Need to know what shoe Aldridge is wearing this year. Thought they were the Hyper Dunks but am not sure.

You should go over to OS in the 2k section for that type of information as those roster geeks over there seem to really be into accessories.

Dwight Howard adds Clippers to list, sours on Nets

The Los Angeles Clippers are finally looking pretty good with Blake Griffin and Chris Paul leading the team to the Pacific Division lead. Now word comes that Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard wouldn't mind joining the party.

SheridanHoops.com reports that Howard has informed the Magic that they can add the Clippers to his list of teams of possible trade destinations. The other three include the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, and the New Jersey Nets.

"He's been watching them a lot. He's intrigued by the Clippers," said the source to SheridanHoops.

However, the source also said that it is looking like Howard will stick around with the Magic for the full season since the team is currently leading the Southeast Division with a 9-3 record.

"Howard has soured on the idea of joining the Nets this season and missing the playoffs, especially since he could still join the Nets next summer prior to their move to Brooklyn and join a lineup that would include a re-signed Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, MarShon Brooks, Anthony Morrow and the Nets' lottery pick, which will be a good pick in a well-stocked draft," the site notes. That assumes Williams will re-sign, of course.

Howard is averaging 19.4 points, 14.8 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game.

If Howard gets dealt from the Magic before the trade deadline, the site notes, Williams could end up being dealt from the Nets since without one committing, the other likely won't sign this summer.

I guess this means Deron Williams will be leaving the Nets as well (probably to Dallas). That team is horrible.

This is great.

LOL, Griffin does have a tendency to get in some cheap shots. Good for Miller. Lakers fans are still pissed at Griffin for knocking Darius Morris to the ground on a dead ball dunk attempt.

Spurs just got destroyed.

Cavs played terrible tonight, but thats to be expected coming home from a 7 game road trip and 2nd night of a back2back.

Blazers/Hawks tonight at 5pm. This one terrifies me
