Rajon Rondo is really good at basketball. Anyone see the MAVS Defensive rating since trade? Now dipping under 100 pts per 100 possessions...

Old already? We're not even to the all star break of his rookie year. If he pans out you may be hearing about it for a decade.Going back constantly to the Wiggins card is going to get old quick...if it hasn't already for some.JR Smith?
Shoulda kept Wiggins.

Back to backs suck. Holy crap this game is still exciting though.

The Richard Jefferson Revival continues with a huge defensive stop. Locked down Iso Joe. Overtime now.
Side note: Richard Jefferson has looked like he's really amazing since Rondo trade. Someone let me know why he has sucked for the last few years and how we got him so cheap?

Yeah, old already. The hindsight chatter that people love. The Cavs didn't make that trade with the next decade in mind.Old already? We're not even to the all star break of his rookie year.

Yuck. Don't think I like that for anyone. Crap flying everywhere.

Doubt it on Smith. Pretty sure he even has a decent relationship with Lebron...train together, etc.

Protection on OKC first rounder to Cavs: top 18 protected this year, top 15 protected in '16 and '17 then becomes 2 second round picks.

Impressive sequence for Perk: grabs an uncontested rebound, dribbles it off his foot out of bounds; goaltends a Curry layup.

Hawks taking bad shots, shooting bad and can't make free throws. Also they can't keep Jordan off the boards. They are very lucky to even be in the game right now.

Aldridge is a beast. Hawks couldn't stop him for most of the game the other night. Very happy to get that win in such a great fans. I wish Atlanta had that kind of home court advantage but our fans kind of suck.Blazers about to win again.

Hawks dribble penetration and ball movement is unbelievable.
It's over. Great win by Hawks @ Clippers.
Bulls are the likely favorites in the East but if the Hawks can keep their guys healthy, they definitely got a shot. They just thoroughly outplayed both Portland and Clips on the road.

Just so unselfish and great shooters everywhere. They really frustrated Paul who looked like he was going to punch someone during the 4th quarter.
That's a 3-0 West coast trip against Utah, Portland and LAC.
On huge thing for Atlanta is they've played all the top 7 West coast teams (save the Warriors) on the road and they've gone 5-1.

So speculation around the Thunder is bringing Waiters in just makes it easier to move a combination of Reggie Jackson, Lamb, and/or Perry Jones. I mean the Thunder can only play three #2's at a time, right?

And hopefully this carries over into next season as well so they can get another high pick

Why did NY trade Shumpert?
Cliff Clavin
Footballguy
They felt they had driven his value low enough that the time to strike was now?
Last year they were offered a 1st from OKC, Lowry for Shump and a 1st from Toronto and possibly Faried for Shump+.

Drop Josh Smith, start winning games in San Antonio.

In a potential NBA Finals preview, Pistons just took down the Spurs in San Antonio. Jennings hit the game-winner with a second left.

What a difference Josh Smith makes.
Pistons won 6 straight.
Hawks #1 seed in East and playing awesome unselfish ball.

Seemed like last season the value of even a later first-rounder went up. Wasn't Phoenix lauded for getting a first-rounder for Gortat?
Protected first rounder, Shumpert and Smith make Cleveland the clear winner in this one IMO. Seems like it puts Cleveland in better position to make another move as well.

Smith should have to refund everyone who bet the Pistons win total over this year out of his ridiculous paychecks. Although the Pistons might get there anyway (it's 36).
TobiasFunke

Totally agree with your conclusion that it's a win for Cleveland and that it puts them in position to make another move for their ruim protector. But on the pick- Phoenix was lauded for that trade because the pick was only top-12 protected, it was thought to be a monster draft, and it belonged to the Wizards, who hadn't been over .500 in six years at the time. The Thunder's first round pick is not quite as valuable.
