another stupid ausar foul

up 8 and battling the knicks and the refs. jb doesnt help by complaining about obvious pistons fouls. come on jb, there are plenty of ref blown calls to go around, no need to harp on every single call they make.

he stepped on his foot, how is that a blocking foul? for god's sake these refs are doing whatever they can to keep the knicks in it.

another bull**** missed call. ****ing refs suck.

wjat a crock of **** call. **** you refs.

i dont blame ausar for that bull**** call.

good jinx

at least harden is actually still good. russ sucks but blind squirrels his way into making one wide open three and then acts like he's god's gift to basketball. there's a reason why they dont guard you out there russ.

ausar! show that to bridges the next time he opens his mouth.

duren isnt giving me a ton of confidence he can play in the playoffs. stew has been better but you see his limitations against length. he's just too small. tobias on kat is interesting. tobias on offense is keeping them in this game. hopefully his reputation as a late game choker doesnt resurface. hardaway has been good too. beasley has hit open shots but every time he puts the ball on the floor he either falls over or turns it over. or both. good to play physical but you cant be stupid about it. too many fouls away from the basket. too many dumb fouls just getting frustrated. they dont have an answer for anonoby on defense. the lack of height up front is showing.

the good news: cade has been garbage and theyre only down 2. the bad news: brunson has been worse and were only down 2.

tobias and hardaway are going to have to make shots. if they double cade late, one of those two will be open. *** about time cade got a call. when they dont double they're pushing him all over the place.

i wish the good lord had blessed me with 1% of the overconfidence he gave to russell westbrook. i could have accomplished so much more in life.

half of grand rapids' team got game misconducts.

welcome to north american hockey, asp and mbn.

i cant think of a player who personifies "heat culture" less than andrew wiggins.

atlanta, your season's on the line what are you going to do? well, i think we'll let georges niang's overweight fat ass take a hook shot in the lane.

as bad as the nba can be during the regular season, and as bad as most of those play-in games were, when you get two nba teams playing in a close game that matters it can be really fun. when they're actually trying.

so danielson has a lot of defensive ability, occasional offensive chops, very smart player but just isnt the offensive dynamo you want from a top line center... is nate danielson andrew copp?

for tarasenko or gustafsson, you would owe them 2/3 of their salary and then the cap hit is spread out over the next two years.

agreed. even worse, some of those horrible moves are on 2 year deals that likely cant be moved without assets or buyouts.

after pionk, spotrac will have the jets at about $26 million in cap space but with only 16 players signed. need to sign about 10 more to have a full roster plus available replacements. they could fit in ehlers in the $7-$8 range but would have to pinch some pennies elsewhere this year. the cap's continued rise incentivizes folks to sign these guys now even if its an overpay. edit: the jets are probably the poorest franchise in the league, so who knows what their internal cap is. might be much lower than the league cap.

colorado retired sheduer sanders and travis hunter's numbers? lololol. what a bush league school. "please mr sanders, what do you need sir? please stay! can we name the field after your son? what do you need?"

detroit has a better chance of somehow ending up with #15. the league will find a way to drop them somehow.

i also thought this was a "gap" year. when kasper was on the top line, they were humming. he went to the corners and to the front of the net. he was exactly what they needed. then copp got injured and he dropped down to center line two. which is exactly the time line two started to heat up and line one went into a funk. kasper at lw or kasper at c2 made a huge difference. to your point, they desperately need a LW or a C2. i dont think they need both because kasper can play one of those roles. they need a top 4 defenseman to either allow ed to play with seider, or allow ed to lead the second pair. they have a bundle of 3rd pair d (and guys who should be out of the league). guys like chairot would be fine on 3rd pair. marner and gavrikov would be great! lol. i'd almost rather overpay for gavrikov than give marner 13x7. but that's where they are. then deal a pick and some defense prospect depth for a solid line two forward. goalie will remain a problem until cossa matures or augustine gets here. dare to dream, wings fans.
