Let's let the Knicks bench take a swing at it:

But seriously, now I'm intrigued. What did he do? Pull his shorts off instead of grabbing a rebound?

 

[gump]

I was trying to find a video but couldn't find. Knicks up 2 with 15 seconds left, Chandler tips out an offensive rebound to Bargnani, who promptly shoots (and missed) a 3-pointer instead of holding the ball for a foul. Bucks tie it and take it to second OT.

Andrea Bargnani Takes One Of The Stupidest Shots In NBA History

WHAT IS HE DOING???

I like Chandler immediately throwing his hands up like, "Oh, what the fuck?"

Yeah, Chandler's response is priceless.

 

[gump]

I was laughing out loud at home. There's nothing else you can do at this point.

Thad Young requested a trade a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure the Sixers will do right by him, but not at the expense of the franchise. He's a highly coveted asset, but the deal has to be right.

I think the Spurs are gonna win the West again.

 

[Hewson]

I see the crawl on ESPN saying Parker is hurt and Duncan and Ginobli are sitting for rest at Golden Shower and figure, "Popovich is just disregarding this game" and wake up and see that SA wins the game, guy is the best coach in the NBA.

Brutal win at the buzzer for Sixers fans. Lost a few more ping pong balls on that one.

What's with the weird t-shirts?

 

[Hewson]

Special Christmas uniforms, presumably to and make $$$ selling to fans, though something tells me that there'll be more sent to poor nations as part of aid packages than sold.

 

[iron yuppie]

Not that anyone but me cares about the Cavs, but it looks like Bynum to LA for Gasol might actually happen. That at least would give Cleveland three legitimate scoring threats in Irving, Waiters, and Pau.

 

[PhilsFan]

Cleveland makes its biggest play for LeBron yet: an attempt to show that what they were missing was a small forward. If Deng makes things click, it's a huge signal to LeBron that he is the missing piece.

 

[iron yuppie]

I'm really happy about this move. I have been a fan of Deng for a long time. The guy is tough as nails and can score from almost anywhere. I still think the odds of LeBron coming back are essentially zero, though.

 

[Hewson]

Good move for the Cavs regardless of LeBron. Didn't give up that much, Bynum was done there obviously, the 2nd round picks are not normally that valuable, so essentially its a protected first rounder (protected by Sacramento) and the right to swap in 2015 for Deng.

Who is a free agent this year and they can just dump if necessary. So the bulls pretty much gave them three draft picks simply to avoid paying the luxary tax.

The Bulls GOT three picks.

Oh.

I misread.

Just saw this on reddit:

Dwyane Wade Travels SEVEN STEPS! vs Portland *CRAZY - YouTube

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Seven might be generous. I count 8 or maybe even 9.

If the Bulls amnesty Boozer and shed Taj Gibson's salary, they may have enough to make a run at Melo in the offseason.

 

[Hewson]

Have they learned nothing from watching the Knicks the past few seasons?

They won't. I've done the cap math.

The thing is, they want to bring Nikola Mirotic over from Real Madrid this summer. The guy has won two Euroleague rising star awards, a FIBA Europe Under 20 MVP, and an ACB(Spanish league) MVP. 14-15 will be the first season he is not bound to the rookie scale. It was thought he'd want MLE money, but recently it's started to seem like he's going to want more like 7M-ish starting, and that's going to have to come out of cap space.

 

[LMP]

It'll be a disaster wherever he goes. At least with the Bulls he could be a catch-and-shoot guy and bonafide running mate to Rose, assuming he returns healthy.

I've got no dog in the fight. The Magic won't have any cap space until 2015. Making a run for Love would be ideal, but the Lakers make better sense for him.
