According to a transcript from The Oklahoman, which was recording an interview with Sefolosha at the time he brought Noah to his team's locker room, Perkins had the following testy exchange with Noah:

Perkins: "They just let anybody in the locker room?"

Noah: "C'mon man."

Perkins: "I'm just asking though."

Noah: "C'mon man."

Perkins: "Just let anybody in the locker room now?"

Noah: "You want me to wait outside?"

Perkins: "I'm just saying, though."

Noah: "If you want me to wait outside, I'll wait outside."

Perkins: "Get your ### up outta here."

Noah: "Aight."

The two players then crossed paths again outside the locker room. More words were exchanged as Noah walked toward the Bulls' bus, but ultimately nothing else transpired.

The Bulls have an open policy regarding former players walking into their locker room. Former players go in and out all the time. Judging from this exchange, the same policy does not exist with the Thunder.

Sure, Noah never played for the Thunder and is not retired...so I'm not sure what the last point is getting at. Perkins shoulda shown him the door sooner.

Thabo brought him there. He is a former Bulls player and had been in the Bulls locker room. Apparently the writer is a moron and doesn't understand that these are different situations.

 
Anyway, on the court and off the court are entirely different things. Always hating the other players is kind of silly. Especially when you were very close former teammates. Thabo and Joakim have a lot in common: they were young NBA players at the same time, both speak French, both have Euro white mothers, both have fathers that were musicians, their mothers became friends, etc. Heaven forbid they want to go out to dinner together after the game or something.

And it's not like there is a history of bad blood between the Bulls and Thunder.

No problem at all with them being friends. You just don't go into the opposition's locker room.

Ah...wondered how Thabo mattered besides writers were around him. I interpreted that first sentence wrong...I just thought that was how they got the exchange documented.

 
Granger back for the Pacers tonight. Anxious to see what role he plays. I'd like to see him come off the bench and boost the 2nd stringers. If he gets it going then Move him to the starting lineup and let Lance Stevenson dominate with the 2s.

I just hope he stays healthy for the playoffs, so the Pacers have another man to guard Lebron besides George and Stephenson. Allow George to save his energy for the offensive end.

None of that is gonna happen. Rumors from bleacher report have less credibility than trades Abe comes up with in this thread.

 
Hawes (final year of deal), T.Young (demanding trade) for Asik, T.Jones (cheap young asset for rebuilding 76ers) and/or draft pick(s)

JMO Asik on his own isn't going to bring back a lot (Something like Brandon Bass sounds about similar value) It was easy to see from 20 miles away that dealing Asik wasn't going to be easy. There's just so few teams out there that'd be interested in him.

Hawes, cheaper, last year of deal, more versatile & just a better player when healthy, unquestionably has more trade value in my view. Then again, if I'm the 76ers, I might just look into resigning Hawes (still only 25). Problem being I can see him getting a nice payday this summer.

When the threes aren't falling and harden is struggling the rockets are really really bad. Last night they looked off the first quarter and that was that.

I hadn't watched love play in a while. He's good. Has a "crafty" game like the old man at the YMCA that still has moves.

 
And yet they still won't start Andrey Blatche - even with Lopez out and KG being one of the worst starters in the league this year. Let's hope they trot out this Teletovic can (career 38% shooter and makes Bargnani look like an All-NBA defender).

 
Last night was the first time I got to see Pekovic live. He's huge. Is he bigger than Shaq?

When I read all the Game Of Thrones books I had a hard time envisioning what the character called "The Mountain" would look like. Now I know - Pekovic.

 
I have been a Laker hater fir a long time, but I have come to the realization that it's not the Lakers I hate, it's Kobe. I find myself watching this Kobe-less team and I am rooting fir them. They are playing hard, they are playing as a team, and while they are mistake-prone, they are fun to watch. The Lakers have finally become the scrappy underdog and I like them.

D'Antoni ball is usually fun to watch. Who doesn't like teams getting up and down?

Maybe you're just a Swaggy P lover like the rest of us.

He has to be involved in All Star Weekend in some capacity, right? If he's not going to get the spot on the West squad that he so richly deserves, maybe he can be in the dunk contest.

Awful. This is no way to get Andrew Wiggins to return north of the border. I'm beginning to rethink my opinion of Ujiri.

Maybe the Wizards can help you suck more? My proposal Minus 12 wins!
Click to expand...
I agree. I thought Ujiri was going to go into fire sale mode but it appears he might be staying the course (Lowry not being traded yet is baffling). I'm now torn with what I want from them. They've been fun to watch lately and are damn near the favourites for the 4 seed. I also don't think they'll be able to get bad enough to get a top pick.

Trade offer rejected. You can have anyone but Amir :wub:

Did you guys see the new solution to tanking being discussed by the NBA? Essentially each team gets the #1-#30 overall pick once every 30 years. This would eliminate tanking in one fell swoop.

So if you're a fan of the Bucks, there's pretty much no reason to ever watch again?

Well there would be that one year where you have the #1 overall pick so that would be interesting. Kind of like seeing Haileys comet.
