^^ Mushmouth ^^
In other news, Jrue Holiday (Pelicans) out with stress fracture in tibia. Ryan Anderson just went down with herniated disc. And even though he just missed 3 games, Eric Gordon is due for another injury.
This could be real bad for teams in Southwest, as in Pelicans now sink to greater odds in the lottery, and pick up another young stud to go along with Anthony Davis.

Brooklyn is at least playing like they have a pulse now.
Kirilenko is the key for Brooklyn. They are 7-3 when he plays and 6-0 when he plays 15+ minutes.
Toronto has won 8 of their last 10.

Ditto with Knicks.
And how sad is this sentence: The Knicks (15-22) are playing the Bobcats (15-23) in a key game for ownership of 8th place in the East.
Also, not related: Video's of teens mocking Lebron's flops while walking around HS's and malls.

Anyone else glad to see the Knicks lose because of those stupid Melo commercials?
8th straight 30 point game? Durant is just dominating. I fully expect it to continue tonight against the Spurs.

Kobe dropped 40+ 7 times in January 2006 (including the 81). The month before, he outscored the Mavs by himself through three quarters (62-61).
i believe jackson kept him out the entire 4th or he could've probably gone for 82 that game (believe he was well above 20+ FTs because the Mavs started just fouling him after double teams and 4pt plays weren't working)
People were so busy comparing Kobe to Jordan back then that he was never recognized for his own greatness. I hope when he retires people will look back and appreciate Kobe for who he was.

It really is amazing that both he and Shaq only have one MVP each. From 1999 to 2008, the best player in the NBA was between those two and Tim Duncan.
Steve Nash stole 2 MVPs.

Kobe voted as a starter for the ASG.
That's really dumb. He played in 6 games and had negative win shares.
The best part of Simplebay's gif is that the ball comes back to hit him while he's on the ground to add insult to his epic fail.
As I wrote on the Rockets thread, wtf on Kobe? Fan voting is the worst thing in sports. At least the coaches pick the rest of the teams. All-star status is a worthless stat in this day and age.

62 points with no turnovers (and no assists), but no turnovers is pretty impressive.
Gortat is 7' tall, but he is a smallish man next to the great one.
i got to meet gheorge last season in DC. He goes to every home game and sits next to the washington bench. He's a really good guy and speaks great english

Anyone else copping?
Memphis is playing very well since Gasol's return. Somebody is going to get bumped out of the playoff picture in the west if they keep this up.

Chad Ford just said Kyrie wants out of Cleveland. First I've heard of that.

Asik, Lin, Parsons, and T Jones for Kyrie, Jarret Jack, Tristan Thompson, and 2014 1st round pick. Who says no?
Who wouldn't want out of Cleveland?

I keep waiting for them to slide out and play down to what they were expected to be.
But they've move up from 8th to 6th place.
Dragic is one of the most underrated players in the league.
I would put Lowry and Conley in that list as well.
