blotsfan 2,112 Posted February 14, 2013 So this article about Durant not taking half court shots to help his % is interesting. I don't think I've ever heard anyone admit that before, though I doubt he's the only one who thinks that way. Best part though is the end of the article: But Durant's teammate and fellow All-Star in Oklahoma City couldn't care less when it comes to worrying about shot selection affecting his shooting percentage. "No. Nope," Russell Westbrook told the website. "If I was considering about statistics, I'd do a lot of (explicit) different." Most Russell Westbrook statement ever.

Did you see Shane Battier's comments on half court shots? He all but admitted no player wants to take that shot because it lowers their percentages, which in turn affects their pay checks. I don't blame them. I wouldn't take the shot either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blotsfan 2,112 Posted February 15, 2013 I didnt but it doesn't surprise me. I wasn't surprised that players felt this way, just that Durant admitted it. Of course I don't think Durant really needs to worry about his paychecks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted February 16, 2013 Honestly, I think a lot of people in the NBA care more about stats and personal accomplishment then some think, especially when they haven't won a championship. They just aren't vocal about it. Also, BK's touch around the rim is so bad... Pretty much was on display last night. >_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Admiral 28 Posted February 17, 2013 He's also one of the least assisted bigs in the NBA, while being one of the least athletic among all forwards and centers. FUNDAMENTALS!!!!! The key to longevity! Even though Tim was out, he looked damn impressive in the game vs the Spurs. Really hoping he can continue to develop. The NBA needs more quality big men.

The NBA needs more quality big men. Yea that's the first thing I thought of. The crazy thing is he's still a little rough around the basket. And he's so young he's got so much room to grow. I think he'd be even better if he spent some time learning from someone like Duncan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Admiral 28 Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) A few nice dunks, but overall it was horrible to watch. Only think entertaining was the commentary. A 1 vs 1 tournament would be so cool. Man, that was some SHUT DOWN defense in the final minutes by Kobe on LBJ. Awesome to watch. Edited February 18, 2013 by The Admiral 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted February 19, 2013 The Josh Smith trade rumors are in high gear following the All-Star break. A trade with the Phoenix Suns or Dallas Mavericks is now possible according to a report from Monday (Feb. 18). It appears that those are the two teams trying to work with Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry to pry away his best asset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Phailadelphia Posted February 20, 2013 Suns are apparently in talks with OKC. Phoenix would send Gortat and Tucker to OKC in exchange for Perkins, Lamb, and a 1st-round pick. They're still a long ways off from completing a trade from the sound of it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blotsfan 2,112 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Not a bad trade (anything to get rid of that Perkins contract) but lol at Lamb replacing Harden long term. And Dmac, I see Kim English got some playing time and played pretty well. Do you think he's gonna start getting more minutes?

Vin+ 3,121 Posted February 21, 2013 The Kings have reportedly traded PF Thomas Robinson, G/F Francisco Garcia and F/C Tyler Honeycutt to the Rockets in exchange for Patrick Patterson, Toney Douglas and Cole Aldrich. With Marcus Morris also leaving Houston in a trade to the Suns, the power forward job looks to be exclusively Robinson's for the rest of the season, making him a good player to pluck off your waiver wire. Patterson's value takes a hit, as he'll have to deal with Jason Thompson in Sacramento, while Douglas, Aldrich, Garcia and Honeycutt won't see a change in value, as they didn't really have any coming in. This also clears the way for Royce White to make an immediate impact once he's recalled from the D-League. The Rockets have traded Marcus Morris to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for a second-round pick, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski. It didn't take long to figure where Morris was going and he'll get to team up with his brother Markieff. The Suns are under the cap, so there's a very good chance that they're not done making deals. Given the upside of Morris with his 1.4 triples per game and the fluidity of Phoenix's rotation right now, it's not a terrible idea to give Morris a look for owners looking to add some treys to their 3-point totals.
