Mr. Anderson Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Aaron Gordon Final Round 2nd Dunk 2016 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. This dunk was off the rails. Never seen anyone put the ball beneath the legs while in the air while it was being held up high by a spotter. DAMN! They shoulda called wrap after this dunk and sent everyone home. He shoulda won it though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwnXyL7MDA i thought this dunk should have won it for Aaron Gordon. The 2nd dunk that Lavine did wasn't as impressive as this one.Aaron Gordon should have won. No one ever did this dunk before. Quote Link to comment

Nel Horan Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 high scoring game. should have played some defense at least. not even a little defense was playedagree.. though less defense naman tlga usually ang all star.. Aaron Gordon should have won. No one ever did this dunk before.i too felt like he was robbed.... tsk tsk.. sayang..Sana ma-break ng GSW ang record ng Bulls..

Guiness Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 no big names were traded by the end of the trading deadline. Dwight Howard, Kevin Love weren't moved, Even Gasol who mentioned in trade talks wasn't moved either Quote Link to comment

Guiness Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Watch: Woman in stands tells LeBron to ‘suck it up’As LeBron was voicing his displeasure with an official’s call during the Cavaliers’ game against the Thunder on Sunday, one fan heckled him. “Just suck it up, LeBron!” a woman in the stands yelled. The moment was captured on camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba4ALRCb2TQ Guess the fan was getting irritated since her team the OKC Thunder was behind 60-53 in the 2nd quarter.

azraelmd Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The projected top two picks of this year's draft, Ben Simmons of LSU and Brandon Ingram of Duke, remind me of Lechoke James and Kevin Durant, respectively. Simmons is a two-way player but still needs to improve on his three-point shooting. Brandon Ingram is an absolute scorer with a dependable three-point shot. Magaling talaga si ingram....high potential...yeah parang raw KD nun nasa texas university... Si ben simmons? Parang more of andrew wiggins eh...or lets say jabari parker.... Ingram goes no.1 IMO...

azraelmd Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) May passing si Simmons at may shot-blocking. Makakascore siya pero dapat lang talaga yung three-point shot niya iimprove niya pa. Combo forward si Simmons at sa tingin ko, kaya niya maging center. Carmelo anthony then....without the defense part... Or maybe the greek freak...giannis.... Edited February 25, 2016 by azraelmd Quote Link to comment
Guiness Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14855509/mark-cuban-dallas-mavericks-says-nba-mull-moving-3-point-arc-back Mark Cuban says NBA could benefit from deeper 3-point arcDALLAS -- Mark Cuban has a suggestion to reintroduce the midrange shot to the NBA game: Move back the 3-point arc."It's getting too close," the Dallas Mavericks owner said Friday night of the 3-point arc, which is 23 feet, 9 inches at the crest and 22 feet in the corners, where there is no room to move it back. "Guys are shooting a foot behind it anyways. ... That's something we should look at. It's worth looking at. "I don't think the number of shots would decline, but I think it would reward skill and open up the court some more. So guys would still take [3-point] shots if it's seven inches back or whatever, but at the same time, it opens up the court for more drives, more midrange game."The midrange jumper has become an endangered species of sorts, while NBA players are firing 3-pointers at record rates. The single-season record for 3s is 55,137; according to ESPN Stats & Information, teams are on pace to hit 58,477 this season. Cuban thinks moving back the 3-point arc is an idea the NBA should consider, not to discourage the deep ball, but to improve the spacing of the game."I think it'd open it up more so guys with different skill sets could play," Cuban said. "It would open up play for more drives. Guys with midrange games would be rewarded and that would stay in the game. There would be more diversity of offensive action in the game."You'd see a little bit of decline in the 3. I'm not saying it's a bad thing that we shoot so many 3s, but it's worth it in the D-League to see what happens [with a deeper 3-point line]."Cuban quickly dismissed a question about whether the NBA would benefit from adding a 4-point line, perhaps 30 feet from the basket. "No, because then guys would really use it," Cuban said.His thought is that the basketball players, from youth leagues to the NBA, have become too reliant on long-range shooting."Part of the consideration is not just how our game works, but how kids learn how to play," Cuban said. "It's turned into nobody has a midrange game coming out anymore. Unless you shoot a 3, you can't shoot anymore pretty much." Quote Link to comment
Guiness Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If the Grizzlies make the playoffs, they'll make NBA history By Brett Pollakoff Mar 15, 2016 at 11:25a ET The Grizzlies have been decimated by injuries this season, but somewhat incredibly, they've managed to stay consistent enough to where they've remained firmly in the playoff mix. Memphis is currently sitting at fifth place in the Western Conference standings, and has a seven-game lead on the ninth-place Jazz with 15 games left in the rregular season. Should they hold on to a playoff spot as expected, the Grizzlies would be the first team to ever make the postseason that's suited up so many different players. It is of course possible that Memphis goes on a crazy slide to end the season, as evidenced by Monday night's 49-point loss to the Rockets where someone named Briante Weber started and played 35 minutes. And, even if the Grizzlies do make the playoffs, they're going to get crushed by the Clippers or the Thunder in what would almost certainly be a four-game sweep. But the fact that they've been able to keep it together with so many different players is a testament to the coaching staff, as well as to the guys who have been able to step in and contribute in place of the team's missing key starters.

Guiness Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 This can be a boring season while waiting for the playoffs to start. So i saw this funny and sort of creepy article. Talking about a look-alike double of Kevin Love who works at Disneyland Perfect Kevin Love doppelganger works at DisneylandIt's clear that Kevin Love is out of favor in Cleveland. He's still putting up decent numbers -- he's averaging 15 points and 9.9 rebounds per game this season -- but the three-time All-Star doesn't resemble the player who could go for 30 points and 20 rebounds every night. The power forward is struggling to adapt to a Cavs system that seems to change by the day. He's a shell of his former awesome self and his confidence has to have taken a hit. That's why when this lookalike was spotted at Disneyland Wednesday, we had to do an honest double-take.Love hasn't been making an impact on the court -- did he give it all up to fulill a lifelong dream of working at an amusement park? We can't rule it out. Not until the Cavs tip off with the Magic Wednesday night, at least. Quote Link to comment
Guiness Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Dwight Howard: 'I've never been a cheater' OKLAHOMA CITY -- Dwight Howard is surprised and disappointed that he's being labeled a cheater.On Monday, the NBA issued an official warning to the Rockets for the center's use of a sticky substance on his hands during Houston's loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. Sources told ESPN's Marc Stein that will be the extent of the punishment.Sources told ESPN that the NBA notified its 30 teams via league memorandum Monday that the Rockets were issued a formal warning because of "the team's use of an adhesive substance on a player's hands during a game."Atlanta's Paul Millsap complained about the ball while shooting free throws with 3:36 remaining in the first quarter Saturday. Howard had made a layup before Millsap's free throws.Howard said Monday that he doesn't understand what all the fuss is about."I just think that it's getting overblown, like I'm doing something crazy," he said. "But again, I've never been a cheater, never been the type of player that has to do something illegal to win. It's upsetting, but I can't control it now." "I just think that it's getting overblown, like I'm doing something crazy. But again, I've never been a cheater, never been the type of player that has to do something illegal to win. It's upsetting, but I can't control it now." Dwight Howard After the incident, referees gave warnings to each bench and then approached the scorer's table, where they were directed to a can covered with white tape. The can was removed, and one of the officials told the scorer to alert him if it was seen again.Howard noted that many players use sprays and powders on their hands during games."I've been using the spray for the last five years," he said. "I never hid the spray. I never did anything to try to hide what I was doing. It was just something to make my hands dry."There was no penalty issued during the game.Bickerstaff was surprised anyone asked about the can and surprised by reports that the team tried to hide it from the officials."Every time Dwight goes into the game, it's the same routine," he said. "It was no cover-up on my part."Bickerstaff said Howard did nothing wrong."He's never run to the back in the locker room to try to trick anyone," he said. "It was never brought to our attention. No one's ever said anything to us about it. If you go back, you can watch every single one of our games for the past three years. It's [the can] there, so we were obviously surprised by the attention it has drawn."The Rockets are more worried about star guard James Harden's status for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Harden missed practice with a sprained left ankle and is listed as questionable. He has missed just one game the past two seasons, and that was due to a suspension for kicking LeBron James last season.ESPN Rockets reporter Calvin Watkins and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
