2011/2012 NBA Regular Season

And Bucks vs Warriors is another interesting post trade deadline matchup.

Chandler and Hibbert battling on the Knicks low post for a few plays in a row. Advantage Chandler so far - Hibbert hit scored in the first play and missed the next 4. Funny to see anyway.

Evan Turner really needs to work on his jump-shot to become a more reliable scorer. It's so hard for him to get a clean shot against a good defender. Not athletic enough.

Turner isn't athletic? I don't watch them a ton but he certainly looks like an athlete and has been beasting on the boards.

In general he seems to be playing pretty well lately. He seems to be playing with a lot of confidence

[MosheP]

Great rebounder, but lacks elite athleticism - I didn't say he was nonathletic, I said "not athletic enough". Certain traits: explosion, quickness, first step. He needs to work really hard to create separation.

I like him a lot and he's probably one of the best rebounding guards ever, but for his scoring to be at the same level of his defense/rebounding/passing he needs a reliable jump-shot.

It'll be interesting to see how San Antonio lines up with Stephen Jackson.

I'd like to see them start Kawhi Leonard and either use Manu Ginobili or Stephen Jackson as their starting two guard. Put Leonard in there to give the big men some help on the boards + put one high usage player off the bench to find more touches for everyone.

[MosheP]

I'm not convinced the Bulls improved with that deal. Jefferson has been shooting the ball really well and playing average defense. I'm not sure if Jackson's defense is still significantly better and that if there will be enough touches/shot creation opportunities for him to make the kind of impact that offsets his lesser spot-up shooting.

They're in a better position salary wise, but I'll need to see how they integrate him before giving them credit for improving this season.

L's for Philly and Atlanta. W for the C's. And it'll be a good night.

[CelticG1]

Oh my dear lord Miami clearly should have had 8to sec violation and no call!!

Announcers barely mentioning it Haha. Ill take it

[azzenfrost]

Indy looks like it's about to get an L too. Atlanta won.

Spurs taking OKC out back to the shed...

63-39 Spurs with 2 min left in 2nd..

[GreenFaith1819]

OKC went on a run there at the end of the 2nd.

Made up several baskets just like that.

[MosheP]

James Harden engineered that run. Generally OKC can get back in a game because of their explosive scoring so this is still a game. I don't think they'll get enough stops to grab it though.

Philly almost closed an ever larger gap versus Miami with their amazing defense.

Jennings and Ellis starting for the Bucks. 31-12 1st Q versus the Warriors. I'd like to see Gooden replaced by Udoh in the Bucks starting line-up if they're going to start the games with the two star guards.

[GreenFaith1819]

I love Tim Duncan's game.

That bankshot is money for him after all these years.

[GreenFaith1819]

OKC's going to need a HUGE effort from Durant and Westbrook in a series vs LA. Gasol and Drew got the frontcourt locked down hard.

[GreenFaith1819]

Kawhi Leonard playing great D vs Durant.

[MosheP]

Westbrook and Parker victims of the hot hand myth. Taking bad shots because they hit a few in a row.
